Because it's not usually listed, does anyone know of a dual-port 65W USB-C charger with a reasonable (>0.85) power factor?

A lot of higher power chargers are not PF corrected and will not work well on planes and trains

Recently figured out that if you let qbittorrent download without subfolders per torrent (so all files end up in the root), it will happily overwrite files with the same name.

Even if those torrents both are active

So now I have a bunch of cover.jpg's that look like this lol

A bit of css commit revert and merge later

I think this is a lot better, but I'm not a developer so I can only kinda hope I didn't cripple the CSS in a way that isn't obvious to me now. The console looks fine though, and assets:precompile succeeds.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by it though ^^;

For reference, on 4.2.x and prior it looks like this:

Which is a nice use of dark mode, where individual elements are still separated with decent enough contrast

Holy moly the Mastodon 4.3.x design sucks! I'm currently testing our upgrade on our dev environment, and I'm genuinely shocked how terrible the contrast is!

Why did we ever invent colours if we're just going to use a dark background, with grey icons. To make matters worse, the timeline is now no longer using a slightly lighter grey, so it's even harder to separate the 3 elements (left, middle, right)

Ah, thankfully it's only a very recent development.

I wonder what would've happened if I waited much longer, would it just start using more and more energy??

Starting to think my UPS may have been broken?? It adds 100W to my total power draw of (otherwise) 140W lol.

The battery has maybe gone bad, it's been due for replacement for 2 years or so now... But ouch, that must've cost me a pretty penny

Do people actually go to their job every single day and think "yea this is it 💞, can't wait to do this for 50 years"?

Jezus I even have readings >3000uR/h, was in here for 20 minutes, i think it started as soon as I got on, so either someone has radioactivity with them or it's on board the metro

500uR is crazy radioactive wtf??

Only noticed my radiation alarm went off after i got off. Half wondering if this is worth reporting even??

Hey Everyone (大家好)!

I'm looking for a new job or freelance contract, as my current position is being terminated in 2 months.

I thought I'd give #FediHire a try :)

Anyway, I have over 10+ years of experience setting up, managing and monitoring Linux Environments. I'm also responsible for various services on the internet (like this instance!)

I can confidently say I have a ton of experience in web delivery and management of large clusters. Including automatisation, monitoring and networking.

There would not be enough space here to write out all the software and tooling I have at least some degree of experience with 😄

Interested? Or know someone who might be? Let's start a dialogue! You can either DM me here, or contact me over at isa@isahome.nl

Gonna be so annoyed if I'm gonna have to desolder the NAND from the broken controller, to hopefully dump and disassemble it. All so i can figure out HP's hidden password reset formula 😭😭😭

Gave in, but it has a password on the replacement controller and HP is really trying to get me to get a support contract with them lol

Finally got routed through someone and they'll look up the procedure and mail me back

Ok so I've been having this weird issue with network SMB Shares on MacOS, where new files are "ghosts" until I explicitly request a new file listing

% touch test; mv test test2

mv: rename test to test2: Input/output error

Does anyone have an idea what it might be? It's making me go crazy

I've posted on stack overflow about it here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/476627/macos-mounted-smb-share-is-not-directly-aware-of-new-files/476633

Recently found this video about fake wires from aliexpress. In summery, some cables sold on aliexpress (and by extension dropshippers) are made of Iron instead of Copper.

I've been testing my cables with a magnet and so far I've found out my F-F jumpers are Iron, and one HDMI cable ??
