Thanks for the tl;dr! These news sites really need to calm down

TiL. I’m going to have to play around with this, thank you!

I put it on basically anything that’s fatty/greasy. I feel it helps to balance out the flavours with the right amount of acid

I’ve been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I’ll let everyone know how it goes!

I feel bad for both parties in these scams. The scammer, from what I’ve read, is duped into the job and threatened with violence and death (along with their family) to continue the work. On the other side are the poor kids who risk a level of psychological damage that may take years to repair, if it can be repaired…all for a few bucks

If you’re on a scam binge, the NYT (yes, I know) Daily podcast did a piece on how drug cartels are scamming people using the sale of property

I’m also on Gnome, but I use Konsole for the ‘Copy Input to Tab’ or ‘Copy Input to All Tabs in window.’ In my use case scenario, it’s super helpful to be able to type or paste a cmd once, and have it populate multiple tabs, or specific tabs in multiple windows. It does take a little tweaking to get it to obey the dark theme settings, but once upon a time I actually created a custom dark theme, just so I could use Konsole on Gnome. Things are much easier these days 😁 I’ll have to check out Tilix, I haven’t heard of it before, but that may be b/c I literally work by myself in the dank dark basement of the building…I don’t think the cleaning crew even knows that I’m down here

So close. It’s like they knew they had to do something, just not exactly what

Definitely! For electronics, Eneloop batteries are worth every penny. I think I have ~10 AA and AAA, and I haven’t bought disposable batteries in years. I try to make sure I have 4 of each available at all times so I don’t have to wait for them to recharge. I’ve tried cheaper (Amazon) batteries, and they fail much more quickly, and sometimes swell to the point where I have a hard time removing them.

Some people say IKEA’s batteries are just rebranded Eneloops, but I haven’t had a chance to try them

Awesome! Thanks for the update, and Happy Friday!

Please keep in mind, this is using a sledgehammer to swat a gnat. YMMV

I defintely will!

I’m going to have to give the hair dryer trick a shot, I’d already migrated to a 1821, so I’m not sure if it’ll boot diskless…but getting a busted NAS to boot with a hairdryer, is too hilarious not to attempt 😂

I had no idea that existed, that’s a slick piece of HW. If I pull the case off I may be able to shoehorn it into the spot where the old mobo was. I could also just rip out the Synology backplane, add a sata expansion card, and make it a general purpose NAS, just with fewer disks.

My hope was to re-use the case to backup ~30TB of RAIDed storage. This is an excellent find, thank you!

I was incorrect about the model#, it’s actually an 1815. I’d had it apart for so long I’d forgotten. I was going to try the resistor ‘fix,’ but too many people were reporting erractic behaviour after they’d done the same. I may re-purpose the case for something else as it seems only something like a Raspberry pi or one of the Adafruit boards would fit

I think you’re right, it measures 200x145x15mm with 2 PCIe slots at right angles connecting to the backplane. I’d had it taken apart for so long I hadn’t considered the height. I was also wrong about the model# it was an 1815, now that I look at the mobo. I guess I could re-purpose the case for something else. I appreciate the reply, looks like I’m going hunting for a similar form factor case this weekend

I’ve seen posts where I had to assume OP/the commenter wasn’t a native English speaker, because of the sentence structure and odd choice of words. A multilingual platform such as lemmy, can sometimes leave you scratching your head. Since I don’t speak a 2nd or 3rd language I’m always in awe of polyglots. I always try to offer an olive branch by assuming the fault was mine, and I wasn’t clear enough in my wording.

however…

There are people (myself included) who will skim long form texts, rather than actually reading all of the words (thanks to every prof who’s ever assigned busy work or HW on a school holiday). I can only speak for myself when I say, once I’ve skimmed something, if I get to the end and it doesn’t add up, I go back and re-read it in its entirety. I have to imagine in a world of 6 billion people, there willl be some who don’t choose to re-read the text, and choose outrage…also some people just think it’s funny to be contrarian, there’s not much you can do about that, other than smile and move along.

Tomorrow you will wake up, the world will be full of promise, and maybe a satisfying breakfast, and you won’t even remember angry_commenter@lemmy.instance…they, on the other hand will wake up, and still be them…
