  • Ideas are cheap. “(site) but federated” isn’t novel, and in a lot of cases you don’t really even explain what that looks like, and I can’t make it make sense either.

    We all live busy lives. I wrote the last comment on the bus, I’m writing this one from the toilet. If you want to contribute to the fediverse, great! Set aside time and contribute to a project, either by extending existing ones or starting your own. There are plenty of minor bugs that need fixing, and if you are proficient in any languages, translations are always needed, no coding skill required.









  • I have a Jonsbo N3 and I’ve been happy with it so far. The N1 and N2 only fit four drives, so if you want more, you’ll have to get the N3 as well. And you’ll have to get an HBA or something, because your motherboard will probably only have four SATA ports.

    The biggest power draw will be the drives, also. And you don’t really need ECC on the desktop; random bit flips are uncommon and rarely significant when they happen. Your filesystem and/or RAID should protect against disk corruption.




  • The thing you’re missing is runtime. If you match your usage to the UPS exactly, your runtime will be zero. If you consume 300W, your UPS needs to provide 300W for however long it is until the power is back. All major UPS companies (APC, Eaton, Cyberpower) have calculators on their site.

    But a UPS for extended runtime will be very expensive, and lead-acid batteries must be replaced every five years or less, else they will not be able to sustain a load, so budget for that maintenance too.

    A UPS is really just to bridge the gap between mains power going out and a generator coming online. A large-capacity UPS will be prohibitively expensive.

    Also, note that cited power figures on the NUCs are probably peak draw. They will probably draw less on regular usage; you’d have to measure it to know for sure in your specific use case.



  • By signaling to oncoming traffic and vehicles approaching from the side, a front brake light provides an essential visual cue that a car is slowing down or preparing to stop. When the light is extinguished, it indicates that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement. According to Tomasch, this visual feedback can significantly truncate the reaction time for other road users, leading to shorter stopping distances and consequently diminishing the likelihood of accidents.

    Sounds reasonable. Personally I just want front turn signals to be visible from the opposite side again.
