You could accomplish what you’re trying by putting the GPU in a second computer. Further, most UPSes have a data interface, so that you could have the GPU computer plugged into the UPS too, but receive the signal when power is out, so it can save its work and shutdown quickly preserving power in the UPS batteries. The only concern there would be the max current output of the UPS in the event of a power outage being able to power both computers for a short time.
Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing.
Did your mom buy your computer and hard drives? I doubt it. You spent your own money, right? So she’s giving you a whole bunch of stuff which is consuming your space. Quote out the cost of buying components for a separate server for her with her own drives. When she buys the parts, build her her own server and put her stuff on it.
While thats an awesome pile of storage, I weep for your electricity bill.
My uBlock Origin is showing 73 blocks on THIS PAGE here on lemmy after allowing the scripts to play the video. Without the video, only 1.
Pepsi, its the choice of a new generation (that is now staring down the barrel of retirement). But we’ll be taking our C64 with us. Retirement home Jumpman tournaments are gonna be awesome.
If indeed the service is provided by “Radio Link Internet” as listed in your screenshot, the owner can likely fix the speed to “better” with a single phone call RIGHT NOW with the $30 more per month subscription fee to the $85 30mbps down / 10mbps up instead of what they’re probably on the $55 service plan.
Judging from the info on your screenshot this looks like this is a WISP. Meaning if you go outside the building there is likely a small tower with an antenna on it that is aimed parallel to the ground. In the days of ISDN, these were amazingly better. In the days of fiber or even Starlink these are pretty abysmal.
Where do you think the (the majority of the) latency is being introduced?
So you suspect the latency (enough of it anyway) is introduced in your translation code? I absolutely understand not wanting to go to the nth degree for optimization when this is a hobby project. Could you throw hardware at it? Not all ESP32 run at the same speed. Perhaps buy an oversized one that will execute your underperforming code faster?
How much are you doing with “rolling your own” vs using off the shelf solutions? For example if you are deep into rolling your own which Bluetooth profile are you using?
Why are all gym memberships like this? The first thing I check before starting a service is how easy it is to end it. I’ve not been able to find a single gym with reasonable terms.
I do the same. So many gyms have abusive terms which is an immediate deal breaker for me.
There are handful I’ve found that aren’t bad offering true month-to-month service. Give notice by phone or email by X day of the month and your membership ends at the end of that month. Miss that date? You only have one more month beyond that then.
For years Planet Fitness had a good deal they’d only run for a couple of days a year where you could prepay for the entire year for $99 (or later $120). You didn’t give them your bank info, no “credit card on file”. You could literally hand them the cash and 365 days from that day your membership would expire with zero action on our part. That was the best membership deal I’ve seen yet. I don’t know if they still do that.
In the meantime, one could always pay with a prepaid card and then just never add funds when you decide to quit. Then just “return to sender” any mail they try to send you.
If you’re using your real name I would imagine they’d send the debt to collections which would cost you even more when your credit score tanks and you try to buy a car or house.
He’s in a room full of people that were also taught evolution. How is he not cowering in fear under the desk one of his fellow congresspeople won’t shot him? Maybe, just maybe, evolution has nothing to do with it?
Many smoke detectors only last for 10 years. What you’re describing is what mine did in my house when they hit the 10 year mark. If you remove it from the ceiling, they usually have a human readable date printed on the ceiling facing side of the smoke detector.
I’m betting if you pulled one of your “one chirp” smoke detectors down, you’ll find a date more than 10 years ago printed on it. Buy new ones, dispose of these. Note on disposal: old school smoke detectors contain a very small amount of radioactive material. If you have one of these there will be a radioactive logo on it PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS IN THE LANDFILL TRASH! Please dispose of these and your registered hazardous waste site.
Newer style smoke detectors don’t use radioactive material and instead use regular light sensors. These are safe to dispose of as regular ewaste.
A bad command execution in large cloud providers can literally make significant portions of the web unavailable, just by the sheer number of services dependent on it.
You can’t have it both ways. You’re trying to call out all of the benefits of running your own infra, but then calling out the downsides of public cloud. Talk apples to apples or oranges to oranges. The point I’m making in the post you’re responding to is that “rolling-your-own” as an organization, specifically a small or medium sized one, comes with risks that far outweigh the costs and risks of public cloud.
The convenience is not worth the risk.
That is not the opinion of non-IT business leaders make decisions to the detriment of the advice of IT departments. You’re ignoring that good IT decisions don’t get to be make by good IT professionals. You’re always limited to the budget and power granted by your organization. That is the practical reality.
So you’re recognizing that a bad command execution can exist in CDN or cloud provider, but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?
I looks like you’re ignoring the practical realities that companies rarely ever:
All of these things lead to system impacts and downtime that can only come from running your own datacenters.
The cloud isn’t perfect, but for lots and lots of companies its a much better and cheaper option than “rolling your own”.
This right here. You get paid either way. Since its just voice mail, there’s no reason you need to sit in an office for this work. Go to the beach, the mountains, or forest with a second device to turn on some nice music. Bring a cooler with your favorite beverages and a picnic lunch. Kick back with your sunglasses on, and start listening to those Voice Mails.
Boss: “Where have you been for the past 3 days?!”
You: “Doing exactly what you told me to; listening to the voice mails. I even my notes sorted them into categories for you. There is apparently some really diligent people interested in letting us know about our car warranty.”
“The DDOS is coming from INSIDE the HOUSE!”
