That does help. One of the things on my to do list was setting up a backup system anyway, so maybe I'll play with that. Thanks!

Thanks, that's really helpful. It can be hard to tell between commands and acronyms in conversation with familiarity

This is looking like a good option, thanks!

The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option

Any help with the acronyms? I'm still pretty new to Linux

What a sad day. What this situation tells me is that if you're nominated to run for president, you're free to commit crimes and nothing will happen to you because reasons. Glad the system is working as intended.

 

I'm looking to upgrade drives on two of my machines. My server running ubuntu has a 3.5" and will be getting a larger capacity HDD, while my personal computer running endeavor OS will be going from a 2.5" ssd to an nvme drive. (Not sure if it helps giving the drive types, but can't hurt).

I'm fine with a clean install and reinstalling everything, but to save some time I'd of course like to minimize the effort that goes into it (importing settings etc). Any tips/tricks for either? Thanks in advance

How is this related to FOSS android and/or custom ROMs?

That's fair, if you're just looking for RGB control and don't care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @[email protected] said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.

I'm partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don't think you'll regret any of the big makers.

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a "gaming" keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I've seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can't remember off the top of my head

I have a mix of a roubo and an anarchist bench. I use the leg vise way more than I ever thought I would, and bench dogs are king for me. The tail vise gets a fair amount of use too. I didn't add a sliding deadman to mine, and I regret it (I have some dog holes in the right leg, but want some closer for smaller stuff). Its my first bench, so I've learned a bit making it as well as using it, so maybe in 5 years I'll make an updated one (which should go easier since I'd have a bench to build the bench on lol)

This is super late (just found this community). I'd be curious if you had some of the quirks that I've had.

No sound periodically, mostly only goes away after shutting off and parking for 10+ minutes.

The trunk sensor hates getting used, and also generally is sluggish when hitting the button on the key fob (also stopped opening one day and had to get forced open before the buttons to auto close/open would work again.

After coming up to the car sometimes after it goes to sleep, it doesn't unlock for like 5+ tries. It also sometimes goes to sleep or something to where the app won't connect.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Even if is made of saw dust, it's (at least in part) real wood in some sense. I would agree that's nonsense.

 

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

 

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I don't have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it's a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I'm good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there's a dedicated device, as I don't want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I'm probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I'd try to get some ideas together.

Thoughts?
