Wait - are you saying the Ideal-Tek PCSA-4N is good, right? Now you've piqued my interest.
Is this suitable for a single person at home, to hold a PCB in place whilst you solder components to it? Worth getting it for home use?
You mentioned Lindstrom and Piergiacomi for flush cutters - I know Ideal-Tek makes flush cutters as well (in fact I think I have some somewhere...), and so does Knipex. But in your experience, are the Lindstrom and Piergiacomi vastly superior?
4N is hard to beat because it can hold dozens or hundreds of components in place for one-pass of through-hole soldering versus needing to flip the board each time and 3 "hands" to hold 1 or 2 components.
Lindstrom and Piergiacomi are much better cutters... when I can find them in my messy lab.
I think the parent may be referring to the indigenous Australian (i.e. Aboriginal people) - who are basically black-skinned, and have been here for a lot longer than other races.
(Even they came to Australia from South East Asia originally - tens of thousands of years ago - back when there was a land-bridge).
I have some experience with Ceph, both for work, and with homelab-y stuff.
First, bear in mind that Ceph is a distributed storage system - so the idea is that you will have multiple nodes.
For learning, you can definitely virtualise it all on a single box - but you'll have a better time with discrete physical machines.
Also, Ceph does prefer physical access to disks (similar to ZFS).
And you do need decent networking connectivity - I think that's the main thing people think of, when they think of high hardware requirements for Ceph. Ideally 10Gbe at the minimum - although more if you want higher performance - there can be a lot of network traffic, particularly with things like backfill. (25Gbps if you can find that gear cheap for homelab - 50Gbps is a technological dead-end. 100Gbps works well).
But honestly, for a homelab, a cheap mini PC or NUC with 10Gbe will work fine, and you should get acceptable performance, and it'll be good for learning.
You can install Ceph directly on bare-metal, or if you want to do the homelab k8s route, you can use Rook (https://rook.io/).
Hope this helps, and good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.
They have a PCIe slot and can take 8th/9th gen intel cpus (6 core, etc). That PCIe slot should let you throw in a decent network card (eg 10GbE, 25GbE, etc).
Does anybody know if this would affect bicycles as well?
I have a phone mount on my roadbike handlecars - one of the Quadlock ones - does anybody know if the road vibrations from cycling can cause as much damage as the motorbike?
If anything...I would have thought a fairly stiff road bike would have more vibrations than a motorbike?
I don’t know about iPhones, but bicycle tourers who ride long stretches of washboard or rough singletrack have frequently complained that the vibrations broke their autofocus lens on an ordinary DSLR or mirrorless camera. And that is not even with the camera mounted, but rather tucked away in a handlebar bag.
Pretty common complaint in reviews for bike mounts when I was researching was breaking autofocus mechanism and IIRC either gyro or accelerometer which messed up screen orientation. Seemed like it happens in city riding as well but might depend on road quality of city.
A friend of mine told me that the microphone on two different Fairphones broke from mounting them on their rather high-end mountain bike's handlebar (he realized it must be the handlebar after the second breakage.)
It happened with my iPhone X on a racing bike. I mounted it with sp-connect on the bike stem. After 2 years (about 8000 kilometers), the camera was completely shaky.
Surely the frequency of the vibration matters too? I would suspect that motorcycles will be closer to the resonant frequency of the springs. I don't pretend to understand enough to say with confidence though.
I'm assuming not, since the article in the post specifically mentions high-powered engines found in motorcycles—unless you're competing in the Tour de France, you should be fine.
Firstly, many societies around the world would consider 9 yo to be mature enough to do things like....go to the shops, use a telephone, go to a friends place to play, or look after a pet. Or in this...stay at home?
I'm not sure if it's specifically an American thing (and seemingly by extension, Australia, since there's so much cultural osmosis), but it does feel like we are infantilising our children, right into their young adulthood. Apparently it's normal now for somebody in their 20's to continue living with their parents, and have their parents do things like cook all their meals for them, do their laundry, etc
Secondly, what you're suggesting specifically targets poorer, or possibly Black people - I'm not sure if that's your intent? However, you're basically saying it's not OK to be poor, and not be able to afford things like a live-in nanny, or daycare (if available).
Originally (2002) a /48 per site was recommended in RFC3177.
More recently (2011) RFC6177 took a more pragmatic / softened approach, but it does say:
- it should be easy for an end site to obtain address space to
number multiple subnets (i.e., a block larger than a single /64)
and to support reasonable growth projections over long time
periods (e.g., a decade or more).
I don't really understand why ISPs choose to be so stingy with allocations. An extra 8 bits of address space to allocate /56 instead of /64 costs them effectively nothing and has considerable operational benefits, simplifies CPE configuration etc. Just minds still living in IPv4 land I guess.
I suspect it's to make business plans artificially more appealing. After all, why offer a better service when instead you can just make your cheaper one worse?
