  • I am proficient in photoshop as well, albeit nonprofessional. That being said, GIMP on its own is realllly hard to use after coming from PS. But with photogimp it’s a ton easier. I wouldn’t say it’s quite as good, but it’s pretty close. I’d give that a shot, at the very least.

  • I think the headline is a bit optimistic, saying that Samsung & sandisk should be worried. The issue with 128, 64, 32, and even 16TB SSDs is that most enterprises tend to not buy large amounts of them. NAND is so expensive that massive drives like that come with an incredibly high TCO, which businesses dislike. Not to mention the fact that, although still fast, massive SSDs tend to be highly bottlenecked by their architecture.

  • Note that Costco also offers some banger deals on prescriptions and contacts and such, and apparently has a great tire service as well although I’ve personally not used it before. They also offer great deals on car rentals, among other things I’m sure. I just bought contacts 3 days ago and ended up paying $450 to get them through Costco as opposed to $750 to get them from anywhere else.

  • I love hate love hate love systemd!

    It’s great sometimes but trying to deal with systemd-related objects in an OpenBMC Yocto project has been an absolute nightmare. Like many things, it’s got ups and downs.

    ISO Scrap PLA

    Howdy y’all! If a post like this isn’t allowed, feel free to remove it. But I wanted to give it a shot.

    I’m working on trying to recycle my old PLA - I’ve got a (heavily) modified industrial paper shredder and my friend & I are building an extruder. But I’m still working on experimenting with the shredder and trying to get proper sized pieces of PLA. Problem is… I’ve run out of scrap prints to test on! So… I know it’s a long shot but figured I would ask anyways. Does anyone located around Minneapolis, MN, have a decently sized bin or source of scrap PLA (failed prints, Bambu AMS purges, etc) they’d be willing to donate to the cause?

    New to home networking - Need some security advice!

    I’m very new to home networking. I’m not new to computers (hardware or software) - but for whatever reason, anything network-related has always been an enigma to me.

    That said - I just got a new (to me) server. It’s a beefy one (made a post about it in another community). And so I figured why not just start playing around with Proxmox, learning some new things and spinning up a bunch of random VMs and whatnot.

    I figured the first step would be to set up something such that I can connect to my computers from anywhere - and I’ve already done so. For that, I used Tailscale. But my question, I suppose, is now that my computers are on the internet (as in, for real on the internet, through Tailscale) - are there security precautions I have to take now and things I need to be more concerned about? Do I have to set up my own special firewall to make sure I don’t get hacked or something? I am honestly pretty clueless in that whole domain. So… ELI5 what I have to do, security-wise. Any and all

    What to do with a beefy server?

    Alright, this may be a bit of a loaded question. But I figured it may provide good insight to both myself and to others. I just came into a pretty beefy server - dual Xeon E5 2699 v3’s (18 cores each), 768 gigs of RAM. Ten front drive bays, 6 of which have 7.68T NVMes and 4 of which have 15.36T SAS drives. I’m thinking the NVMe drives will go into a single RAID 5 or 6 (thoughts?), and the 15360s I plan to use for more sensitive stuff so I’m planning dual RAID 1’s there. Boot drives will be a hardware RAID 1 of dual 1920G SATA SSDs. So again… pretty beefy. I believe this server would cost me ~$100/month to run, although I may try something where I keep it off 6/7 days of the week and only turn it on if I need it otherwise, I’m not sure yet. Thoughts on that are welcome too.

    All of that said. I’ve got the power & the storage for some pretty neat projects. But I’ve not delved into anything of this nature before. I’ve heard of Plex, I’ve heard of Jellyfin, but I don’t really know wh
