  • I still remember when my cousin's cat chewed through the pellet stove's power cord... I don't think I've ever heard a sound that so perfectly matched the expression "screams from hell". Luckily the RCD tripped so the poor bastard survived. But he sure as hell isn't touching wires again.

  • Do you always have either dead pixels, loose charging port, or broken hinge with Acer laptops?

    Jump

  • Acer travelmate 4070. Used as a control unit for a cut and bend machine. (Don't ask me why)... Holy shit that bastard has outlived around three of the machines that began work with it.

    What I'm saying is. Acer was good. But like all things enshittification ruined it.

    HP though... I don't think I've ever seen a good hp. Even the ancient ones. I feel like the only HP stuff that saves itself are calculators and some of the old testing equipment

  • I started a game review blog here on Lemmy, but I'm having trouble finding games I want to discuss lately

    Ooh I remember you! It was fun seeing people having takes on some older games I had actually played while on the train. Mainly kona and Pacific drive.

    My 2¢ when you also manage to get out of this purgatory is valley, parkour/puzzle based for the sake of exploring what happened to the place. Story driven and pretty good from what I remember. I played it back when it came out.

    The other one is ultrakill. Frenetic as fuck boomer shooter. Most of the fun comes with learning tricks and acing levels and challenges. Not everyone's cup of tea. Still. Hakita's a musician and it shows a lot. The soundtrack is great. And the game was originally made to promote an album iirc. Played before the last round of exams sucked all will from me.

    anything in particular that's also stuck in your list?

  • TBF it's not that bad of an idea... The first game I've ever finished was Wario ware after all.

    I'll look into this.

    Meanwhile I picked up Cyberpunk the first time it went on sale and have played through the tutorial like 5 times.

    This hits a little closer to home than I'm willing to admit.

  • I genuinely haven't touched a game in three months due to exams. I've just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.

    Could also be me going into standby in the evening from work/classes.

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

    Jump

  • Willingly is a strong word. More of a "this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well". It's been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.

    Also I'm quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.

    I've tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn't process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I've started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don't program for a living.

    I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it's MS-DOS based software ffs.

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

    Jump

  • You can't imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle's computer back in ~2010. And just never left.

    It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I'll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.

    Is it the best? Nope. But it's fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.

  • Those only open via vasistas, you can't swing around a 4m window lol.

    Yeah. Didn't think too hard about it, the idea for that project was to segment it and use tilt and turn. But in the end it was kept a singular window And wasistas was used with the string mechanism for commodity's sake. the change of plans we did made me brain fart... sorry It late over here 😅. still. I've made some doors that were too heavy For the tilt and turn hinges we normally use. Mostly due to weird glass pane requirements and sizes. The hinges could most likely handle it. But the specifications said otherwise.

    Mine are aluminum frame, steel reinforcements, PVC is only the external layer:

    That's similar to what's used over here. But iirc the aluminium is not in the ones I've seen only PVC and steel Reinforcements. Could be wrong though. I'm quite sure is the same company though. That profile looks very similar.

  • They have a right to feel smug

  • PVC tends to be lighter than the thermal isolated aluminum we usually use. At least the stuff we have over here. (I work with steel and aluminum though. Never dealt extensively with PVC since it requires specific equipment).

    Usually the problematic ones are the long "strip windows" (80cmx3 to 4 m) that some places use especially with argon filled glass panes (thick, layered double panes. With argon filling for emissivity. It may be what you have as well). But for them the style in the picture is usually set aside for a vasistas style closure. Which has an extra support for the panel. Paired with a pull string opening mechanism. I don't know what's the generic name.

  • I'm not sure how windows are installed elsewhere. But here usually you have a good wall thickness. It's not uncommon to have aluminum/ steel shutters that swing outwards. For privacy. some form of screen for bugs. And then on the inside casement windows that swing on the inside. Either the normal kind or the tilt and turn style shown in the post (I think that's how it's said in English).

    In this case it's shutters with adjustable slats to let more or less light in. A steel "grating" (not sure how it's called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.

  • They have a right to feel smug

  • Coming from someone that builds them. At least where I live the mechanism is proprietary so it may not exist for every extrusion profile. Plus for big enough doors/windows the hinges to bear the load either don't exist or get expensive quick.

  • Tbf it's more of a european thing. I'm Italian and I've installed hundreds of these.

    Also... Assuming Liftup windows actually exist in America and aren't just a myth. You.should be able to do something similar by jamming something in the window rail.

    Standard swing windows though... Pray.

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

    Jump

  • i'm not sure if it's equivalent. but in the meantime i have cobbled up a series of commands from various forums to do the whole process, and i came up with the following openssl commands.

     
        
openssl genrsa -out servorootCA.key 4096

openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key servorootCA.key -sha256 -days 3650 -out servorootCA.pem

openssl genrsa -out star.servo.internal.key 4096

openssl req -new -key star.servo.internal.key -out star.servo.internal.csr

openssl x509 -req -in star.servo.internal.csr -CA servorootCA.pem -CAkey servorootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out star.servo.internal.crt -days 3650 -sha256 -extfile openssl.cnf -extensions v3_req

    with only the crt and key files on the server, while the rest is on a usb stick for keeping them out of the way.

    hopefully it's the same. though i'll still go through the book out of curiosity... and come to think of it. i do also need to setup calibre :-).

    thanks for everything. i'll have to update the post with the full solution after i'm done, since it turned out to be a lot more messy than anticipated...

  • Don't worry. Lemmy is asynchronous after all. Instant responses aren't expected. Plus. I know life gets in the way :-).

    It was basically a misconception I had about how the homelab router would route the connection

    Basically with pihole set up. It routes servo.internal to 192.168.1.y, the IP of the homelab router. So when a machine from the inside of the homelab. On 10.0.0.*, connects to the server. It will refer to it via the 192.168.1.y IP of the router.

    The misconception was that I thought all the traffic was going to bounce between the homelab router and the home router. Going through the horrendously slow LAN cable that connects them and crippling the bandwidth between 10.0.0.* machines and the server.

    I wanted to setup another pihole server for inside of the homelab. So it would directly connect to the server on it's 10.0.0.* address instead of the 192.168.1.y. And not go and bounce needlessly between the two routers.

    But apparently the homelab router realizes he's speaking to itself. And routes the data directly to the server. Without passing though the home router and the slower Ethernet. So the issue is nonexistent, and I can use one pihole instance with 192.168.1.y for the server without issue. (Thanks to darkan15 for explaining that).

    While I do have my self-learned self-hosted knowledge, I'm not an IT guy, so I may be mistaken here and there.

    I think most of us are in a similar situation. Hell. I weld for a living atm :-P.

    However, I can give you a diagram on How it works on my setup right now and also gift you a nice ebook to help you setup your mini-CA for your lan :

    The diagram would be useful. Considering that rn I'm losing my mind between man pages.

    As for the book... I can't accept. Just give me the name/ISBN and I'll provide myself. Still. Thanks for the offer.

  • Genoon linux?

  • Idk. Frankly I'm just echoing the meme. And also. In the 5 years I've used linux i haven't touched chrome/chromium with a 10ft pole. Let alone compile it.

    I do remember compiling an oddball version of wine once though. Don't remember much about how it went. But the fact I have it duplicated 5 times tells me I never wanted to do it again.
