Can you explain this to me better?

I need to work on my data storage solution, and I knew about bit rot but thought the only solution was something like a zfs pool.

How do I go about manually detecting bit rot? Assuming I had perfect backups to replace the rotted files.

Is a zfs pool really that inefficient space wise?

A potato is a potato, regardless of animal type.

He loves belly rubs, clamours for attention just like a dog. He’s basically a dog.

That’s fair lol

Love my hammock. Trying to get the wife to like it, but her first experience was suboptimal. Gonna try again next summer.

I didn’t even realize the bridge was out until we walked past it haha. Technically, if you wanna break the rules, you can still cross it, it just has no railings. We didn’t, we didn’t need to. We parked on the MRT side, near Sarah’s falls. But later we hiked out for a beer run, and reparked by the dam, there’s a little bit of parking there.

We did significantly less actual hiking than normal, we were waiting for a 4th who never came, so we stayed put. We found a good camp, set up shop, and stayed there for two nights.

This past spring though, we did the whole loop over 2 nights, that was pretty fun.

The cold wasn’t too bad honestly! A couple of base layers, a puffy, and a warm fire was all we needed. Besides bedding 🤷‍♂️

I almost didn’t even use my hand warmers. But we had a coon sniffing around camp at 3am, and I got cold running around shooing him away.

National Forest, yes. The river trail 👍

Curious as well

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here’s a link.

Nope, made it scarier.

Also bad is when the big flakes are coming down heavy, flying over your windshield, lit up by your headlights. It’s like your flying at light speed, hard to see the road

Don’t need to go to China for this. Back when Michigan had real winters, less than a decade ago, this was a regular occurrence.

Been there, felt the pain

I was reading your post and I briefly thought you were trying to say it IS expensive, not that it is not. And I was like is this guy on crack, cubing is cheap as chips.

Anywho, glad to see I was wrong. I learned cubing at the same time as my buddies kids did, and while I never got faster than I think a minute and a half? They are well under a minute now, it’s crazy.

I still cube occasionally, but mostly just to fidget while watching TV 🤷‍♂️ Also so I don’t forget how to do it.

Goated, that’s what I wasn’t getting, thanks!

Can someone explain please?

You’re welcome! Well it’s more complicated than that, and I’ll be honest I don’t THOROUGHLY understand everything about it.

But the idea is to move the liquid from one canister to the other, that’s why the “giving” canister is upside down. But because you’re moving the liquid itself, you can accidentally fill the entire canister with liquid, no room for the vapor to expand into when it gets warm, and boom! So be careful. As long as you weigh it you’ll be safe 👍 You freeze the receiving can because cold gas has a lower vapor pressure. And you can put the giving can in a bowl of warm (not hot!) water to increase it’s pressure and make the transfer happen faster. You’ll feel the giving can get cold as you fill the bottom can.

Fun fact, this is how air conditioners work! Take any gas (preferably not flammable, but that exists too), decompress it in a pipe so it boils into a vapor and absorbs a bunch of heat, making the pipe cold and you can blow air over it to cool your house or fridge.

Then that boiled gas vapor goes into a compressor that increases the pressure in a second pipe, enough that the gas has no choice but to condense into a liquid again. This releases all the heat that was captured in the boiling phase. Now you’ve got a hot pipe, and you put it outside and blow air over it to cool it off, further liquifying it. Then you take the liquid and release it back into the low pressure boiling pipe inside and start the process all over again!

Nice! I didn’t know this existed!

Yes mine does canister to canister as well 👍👍

A special adapter from Amazon, like $20.

Be sure to refill by weight. Buy a full screw top canister and weigh it with a kitchen scale, note the weight in grams, write it on the can and in your phone.

Then later, when it’s empty, put it in the freezer for several minutes, pull it out and refill it with the other canister, but only fill it to the weight it was originally at. It will gladly take more gas, but there will be less headroom or no headroom, and the canister has a high chance of exploding.

The Internet will tell you not to do it, and how unsafe it is, how the valves aren’t meant for that many uses, and it’s definitely gonna explode etc etc. But if you do it smart, you’re fine. And don’t reuse the same screw canister many many times, you’re already saving money, reuse it a few times then recycle it and start over.

Edit: this is the one I bought, it’ll do the trick. https://a.co/d/eHJDQGL

Also NEVER EVER EVER refill them with any amount of propane! Yes the normal canisters come with a percent of propane in them to help in cold weather. But getting the partial pressure mixture right is almost impossible at home, and propane will definitely make your canister explode. It’s vapor pressure is too high. That’s why the pure butane canisters are so thin, and the green pure propane canisters are so thick and heavy, because they need to be to hold back the pressure.

Bidet master race.

Got myself one with heated seat, heated water (tankless water heater, not a connection to a hot water tap that takes ages to warm up), and even a hot air dryer thing that I only really use in the winter.

Cost a hundred bucks, best hundred bucks I’ve ever spent, I’ll never go back.

Cold water ones are good too, more practical even, but the water gets cold here in the winter, make your brown eye blue lol

That makes sense. I’m pretty sure all my chargers support voltages up in the 20s, I forget what the standard is. So perhaps that’s the main factor.

Thanks for your input!

That’s fair. I figured as much. I’m still doing most of my couch computing on a 2016 Chromebook. It calls for a 45w charger, but I’ve used my 18w phone charger in the past. It complains about it, but it still slooowly charges.

I was hoping the framework would fare better on 65w.

Again, not a big deal, just a talking point. Easily solved problem. Just curious. Thanks!
