What distro do you use for your servers? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Seonding the security point. It's probably riskier to use bleeding edge distros because the "old" Debian packages are well cured and don't have a lot of new issues. And as you said also old packages get security updates. Even in debian.

Been running Debian on my server for 10+ years.

Anyways thanks for caring :)

That article is useless. Any other reference?

Any immutable distros like Chrome OS? (Desktop part of the project) in c/[email protected]

Vanilla OS seems promising. Just released a new version too.

Aren't the just rebranding some generic ones that they vetted for compatibility? I heard that somewhere, so take it with a grain of salt.

Wait, how do you make the laser pointer travel at the speed of light? I assume it has some mass.

I don't need them to be standing, in fact they won't be able to. Just do as I say.

I have (had?) A win10 machine for gaming with a nvidia 1080 for the past ten years since gaming wasn't performant enough for me on Linux. Nouveau wasn't cutting it fps wise and the nvidia drivers were a nightmare if you dared to alt-tab or expected more than 20fps.

I bought a mid tier (radeon7600xt) from AMD and it was (I am not kidding) plug and play. And I don't mean the Microsoft blue screen presentation plugnplay.

Natively I got performant 3d fps (glxgears must be celebrating its 100th birthdaynow) and thanks to valves wine fork it was even easier to get more demanding games up and running. Before icouldn't even run portal.

Thank you AMD for doing something right where nvidia is obviously screwing up.

project idea for low power motion triggered r2d2-sound source (lemmy.one)

hi again, since i had a bad idea in my last post i wanted to try again to get some feedback i could understand and apply.

the idea is to make a vacuum (the appliance) play a few seconds of r2d2 sounds. the vacuum is hauled around on the scaffolding on a construction site and wont be necessarily standing upright (while idle or in used).

my original idea was to have some kind of trigger through a sensor (SW-18010, or something) that draws zero power (like a tilt switch, but position independent). that trigger should pull a pin high on the dfmini mp3 player (cheap player board) which in turn would play a few audio files while powered.

so sensor -> 555 astable -> df mini player -> speaker (piezzo maybe).

any ideas or pointers? is the idea of zero power in this case even possible (never used the 555 before), is maybe a attiny a better idea while in deep sleep?

battery life of 1year + would be ideal.

Ferrit core as 555 trigger? (lemmy.one)
 

To all the electronic nerds out there: I am trying to trigger a 555 timer by movement in a random direction that also occurs randomly and any change in position should trigger the 555. AFAIK tilt switches are not useable here. Does this idea make sense?

Ferrite core In orange, spool in blue.

Would there be a voltage generated by movement if the core is suspended by some kind of spring or rubber band?

The idea being to play a sound from a df mini player by pulling a pin high for 3 seconds.
