Basically electrical resistance heating. Not good.

generally, use “netstat -lpn | grep 8080” (or whatever port number) to find out what process is already listening on that port. This kind of thing happens all the time.

“Please sir, I want some more.”

Those aren’t really sufficient reasons to deal with vinyl IMHO. Do it because you want another weird expensive hobby maybe, or because there’s music you like that you can’t easily get in other formats. Or you like full sized album art, etc. Otherwise in practical terms it’s mostly not worth it, IMHO.

I was into it back in the day. But I found when I bought a new LP, I’d usually dub it to tape cassette on the first listen. After that I’d usually play the tape instead of the LP just because it was less hassle.

These days just rip everything to FLAC and transcode that to other formats as the need arises. It’s on your HDD so you still own it. Make backups of course.

Modern leftist community that keeps clamoring to defederate lemmy.ml which tbh isn’t that political? Nah.

Meh, it’s sort of an empty gesture, as discussed in the HN thread. The “competitor” is a somewhat-compatible Teensy 3 clone that uses a different processor with roughly similar cpu performance. It doesn’t compete with the much faster Teensy 4 which is the only model that PJRC currently sells. And these types of boards aren’t generally about CPU performance anyway. If you want fast computing, get a Linux board or similar. These boards are about stuff like analog i/o.

bit.ly? They may have degoogled but they still stopped too early.

2.7 million acres, about 4200 square miles. Location? IDK.

This is big stupid drama but there’s a long thread about it on hackernews.

Ars technica is usually legit.

Why do TV’s and audio gear use memory? TV’s ok I can sort of understand a little, but audio? That’s still analog right? Or anyway mostly analog.

Meaning fuel powered generators? Bah.

Thought that was going to be the immortal clip of the ball rolling between Bill Buckner’s legs.

I’d DIY it (maybe with FreeNAS, about which I know nothing) instead of buying a proprietary NAS in a box. What’s the point of self-hosting if you’re going to be at the mercy of someone else’s software anyway? If you’re DIY’ing, there are 3.5" drive enclosures with soundproofing stuff in them that should keep the drive pretty quiet. Or if you can afford enough SSD’s for your storage requirements, then use those.

I’m not knowledgeable enough about that system to know how possible full anonymity would be.

I think you do the transfer through a law firm. A nonprofit I’ve worked with got a sizeable anonymous donation some years back (kilobucks though, not megabucks). It was announced as having come from a single donor. I don’t know if the nonprofit’s higher ups were told the donor’s identity, but it was certainly no big deal for them to not publicize it.

Water from the kitchen faucet. I better not tell them though. Some TikTok post about it will go viral and that will be the end of it for those of us who just want to stay hydrated in peace.

In the backup world, 50TB isn’t really a lot, and you’re not really ready to talk about tape systems or maintaining an always-on disk system. Also, HDD’s have been getting more expensive due to AI idiocy. But, cheapest is probably a second raid system, like 4x 20tb drives. Do the backup at home and then move the backup system off site and either keep it spinning, or make sure to spin up and test the individual drives every so often.

Depression means no money, not particularly shortages of physical stuff. If you’re trying to do a prepper thing that’s fine, but it’s different. There are tons of web sites and other materials out there about that.
