Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see? in c/asklemmy

what's your experience with paperless? in c/selfhosted

[–] h0rnman 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like maybe you ran it as a container and didn't mount the document archive externally then updated the container. That would have likely blown away the actual ingested documents but left the Metadata (including the OCR data) where it was, assuming the database was either its own container or mounted externally

Sudo is coming to windows in c/linuxmemes

[–] h0rnman 3 points 10 months ago

runas is trash, to be honest. I've been waiting 30 years for an OS-native tool that allows me to delegate specific commands for specific users to run with specific parameters as admin. Something I can do with sudo (well, sudoers) in 5 minutes is outright impossible on Windows. I'd like to believe that Microsoft will implement this part of sudo, but I'm not gonna hold my breath

Yeah, I seem to remember that. It is OSC, after all

Oh man, that's it! Thank you... it's been driving me crazy that I couldn't remember it!

Hopefully someone here knows what I'm talking about and I didn't just make the whole thing up as part of a fever dream.

I recall reading a book several years ago where one of the main plot points was that there was some kind of AI watching and recording humanity across the galaxy, but had been doing it for so much longer than designed that it was starting to break down or run out of storage space or something of that nature. It influenced some guy to head out and start looking for it to help or fix it. I don't remember much else, and all of the search engines just spam me with garbage sponsored AI bait, so I'm hoping someone here might recognize the broad strokes and be able to point me in the right direction.

Has anyone scaled back from 5gals to 3gals or 1gal? in c/[email protected]

[–] h0rnman 5 points 11 months ago

I've had decent success scaling down recipes, but what I've found is that I make more consistent beers when I use a recipe designer instead of just taking 20% of the 5 gallon recipe. I'm just a beginner though. Someone more experienced could probably just eyeball it.

Oh for sure. I wanted to make sure OP didn't repeat my mistake

Lol. The wife wanted something decorative and liked how it looked. Caveat Emptor, and all that I suppose. I knew I was buying from a less-than-quality source

I know this is a meme /c, but for real, I bought this exact same product a while back. If this is your photo, just be careful about what you put on it. Mine lasted 2 months with a grape vine on it before it collapsed.

My first attempt in building an itx pc 5600g+16GBs :) in c/sffpc

[–] h0rnman 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Chopin Pro is such a great mITX case. I used one for the exact same build for my wife's pc. It's great for office apps and even for light gaming. It won't win any competitions, but it runs what she plays just fine and is smaller than some textbooks I had in college

I've never before been so glad to read about someone else's misfortune. Mine have been doing this for MONTHS and I thought it was just me imagining things

Pipes knocking around 120bpm (self.homeimprovement)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by h0rnman to c/homeimprovement

I have a very odd issue that I can't solve, perhaps someone here could help. The pipe attached to my main shutoff valve is emitting a soft knocking sound at around 120 beats per minute. The sound persists as long as there is any amount of pressure, and I can feel it in the pipe nearby as well as in the valve handle itself. The weird part is that if I turn on any hot water tap, the noise vanishes. I'm a new homeowner so I don't have much experience, so any help would be appreciated. What I've checked so far:

Drained the system completely and refilled

Turned the water off overnight and checked toilets for leaks

I don't feel the pulse at the water meter line

Turning hot water on anywhere in the house stops the noise.

Thanks in advance!
