THIS IS GREAT THIS IS GREAT!...

Hi folks, I got a heat pump installed at my home and I’m looking to better understand when/how it switches over to backup fuel in the winter....

I’m dragging myself through an “award-winning” “best-selling” “recommended” book I got from the library and wishing I hadn’t. (Yes I know those phrases mean little and I can stop, though I’m nearing the end after hoping it would stop being so hopeless. Yes I can be naively optimistic ;) .) The characters and...

Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit...

Hello! KDE plasma wayland session on fedora 37 here. I noticed that the brightness (even if the indicator always shows 100%) is “less bright” with the charger unplugged, and brighter with the charger plugged in....

Landfills have been around for a long time now, and some of them get quite large. I know seagulls are changing their habits and living off landfills, but are there any other interesting ecosystems forming around them? Maybe some new microorganisms we haven’t seen before?

Last year I had an old concrete porch re-done. Long story short, they did not keep it wet when curing, and now the concrete has several cracks in it. I’m concerned about the cracks getting worse and spreading over time, so I am thinking about filling the cracks with some kind of compounds. Any recommendations? I’m thinking a...

I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it’s set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that’s not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)

Just realized that the other day....

I am setting ap on Old computer of mine as a local nextcloud instance and maby host my own little Blog. I wouldn’t do much else on this machine so I think an immutable Distribution like MicroOs would be the right choice....

Sometimes I feel like I’m part of the minority who actually enjoyed Enterprise. Sure, there were some stinkers but the world was incredibly interesting and in Series 3 / 4 I really felt like it scratched that Trek lore itch for me....

Microsoft’s documentation for revoking user access from Azure AD currently references cmdlets from the AzureAD PowerShell module, which will be deprecated on June 30th....

Instead of keeping it around for emergencies, it is now my main method of traversing the map - at least until the jetpack. It is a bit faster, but also it is much more fun than walking....

I’m rewatching it now, it’s so well written that it almost stands out from the rest of the episode. It comes off like something from David Mamet or The West Wing. It’s not Far Beyond The Stars or In The Pale Moonlight, the stakes of the episode are too low. But the material it gave all the actors to work with, the...

Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?...

My company is just starting to utilize O365 email encryption for sensitive information, which I know a lot of people are already using....

As a noob this is likely me, but I tried to start a community on another server and I can’t see the post (my other account used to make said community) made and set as english. Unless it’s just me being a noob, that can’t be good. A cursory look seems to confirm that I can’t see anything aside from “Undetermined”.

So, times are tough in the tech world and my company decided that in addition to no bonuses/ stocks for the foreseeable future, they also want to stop matching our 401k contributions....

I’ve been watching through ds9 for the first time and the show has always been good, even the first season I thought started fairly strong. And season 6 (as I’ve said in another post) has started really strong, with an actual deviation from the show’s status quo that lasts longer than one episode....

From Wikipedia, “A practical effect is a special effect produced physically, without computer-generated imagery or other post-production techniques.”...

For context:...

I recently replaced my UPS and set up NUT (Network UPS Tools) for monitoring....

Hey all!...

If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

I am drawing out diagrams for a project I want to do to involve loads of buttons in a 8x8 grid but… I don’t know how to go about driving them, if someone could show a simple way to not use a lot of pins to accomplish this I’d be happy as then I’d be able to continue drawing out my plans....
