Yeaaah!

Thanks, here are some figures about our Jet d’Eau and a not so fun fact:

At 200km/h and 140m high, one day a dude tried to kiss it. He was denied any love, felt down near the base, tried to hug the Jet d’Eau (again yes…). Was sent into orbit and finished into the lake where police fished him up.

He did survive, but probably not his last brain cells.

That thing is powerful, when you stand below it you are soaked to the bones by fresh lake water in seconds. At this exact time (24 August 14h30 utc) you can see people pressing below it cause it is 32°C right now in Geneva)

I feel you. This ITX build is replacing a giant supermicro dual everything beast. I just kept its HDDs and moved everything to the Unraid ITX + some docker running on a M2 MacMini that is always on anyway.

I said to myself that I’ll resell the supermicro on auctions but still haven’t started to disassemble it.

Fun fact about divorce. A cute Jonsbo N3 with big Noctua fans is way more for peace and love at home than a 20Kg Supermicro chassis.

Yeah I love it. It’s one of the only itx case with 8 hdds and a SAS backplate.

Honestly it was the hardest part to find, I waited for months before having an auction on one.

I was going to post the same link, I generally take inspiration from that forum and then adapt with what I can find on eBay etc for cheap. The prices they give are for US eBay and not always suitable to EU eBay.

I’ve just finished my new NAS using Unraid OS and some info from the forum.

• Jonsbo N3 case
• Gigabyte Z590i Vision D motherboard
• Intel i5 10400T
• 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 (basic corsair)
• LSI 9207-8i HBA in IT-Mode
• An old 128Gb M2 SSD
• 8x6Tb HGST SAS drives
• Corsair SF600 PSU

It took me more than 6 months to find all the parts at a correct price but I was not in a rush.

It’s 2.5Gbe and not 10Gb SFP but you get the idea. The cost was really low (lower than 1000) because I already had the HDDs from an older server. It should be around 1500€ max with the disks.

The real downside of doing that is the time it takes but it’s also a kind of pleasure to hunt for parts and one day assemble them all.

I mean, they wrote “learn” with quotation marks so… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know that’s why I’m staying with that brand. I am just looking for another model, I probably don’t need all the fuss features of the top of the line model.

Well that’s true. I was looking at a Zojirushi rice cooker

One of its selling point is: ‘Advanced fuzzy logic technology with AI (Artificial Intelligence) “learns” and adjusts the cooking cycle to get perfect results’

I immediately said no thanks and looked for another model without that, and probably cheaper. It’s a rice cooker FFS!

EFHK, Helsinki Vantaa runway 15.

OH-LWL Airbus A350-900 is coming home from somewhere probably hotter.

You can see this tower here on gmap

It seems to be a primary radar for ground traffic.

From that angle, OP worked an early shift on the airport, nice shot sir !

(You can see the rwy 15 and YB taxiway junction on the photo and on this chart)

Can you please tell me about that obsidian, google and cloud relationship ? Cause I don’t know anything about that and I’m curious.

I don’t use any cloud except my own, self hosting FTW!

I am not sure what you’re working on but from your answers I’ve read you seems to need access to a lot of information with a few keystrokes, like searching for a keyword or tag.

In my opinion you are using the wrong tool for that. Ditch the browser and learn about the Zettelkasten way of working. It is really powerful for plenty of applications like science, studies, dev, or even the way I use it, author repository of ideas/concepts/stuff I need when writing a book.

You can do that with several software but I like obsidian for that (and because of all its plugins you could probably find something to automatically copy webpage content)

On the downside side :

• You’ll have to learn Zettelkasten, Obsidian etc
• Obviously do the work of writing (or copy pasting) your vault.

But on the plus size :

• You’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips, searchable with keywords, tags, associations etc.
• Everything is basic text MD files so it will still be readable by any text editor or terminal in the next century.
• You can have images, run code, do some mathlib, jupyter etc inside.
• Text is light, easy to store, backup and retrieve.
• If you do good enough you can have a satisfying visual representation of your new brain, kinda mindmap (which is also possible)

Wilco, I’ll first try to have a look in sim as one of the virtual airline I fly for is based at ESSA.

I landed there in Xplane 12 yesterday with a chilly minus 15 degrees Celsius I believe.

Nice approach though.

Dude, I happen to have a metric shit ton of hours on various flight simulators. If you happen to have another shit ton of money we could manage something.

You now know a place in the world where you can overfly a giant microwave. Fo science!

Microwave is an electromagnetic radiation, as in this big ass space radar https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/space-fence.html

Navy, Air force or something is probably playing with the new Space Fence that is on Kwajalein (or any of the shit ton of radars they have over there).

2.69MW radiated power in the microwave band could be enough to make any PAX aboard an aircraft into a way too hot pocket of meat.

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

Yes it was a Max 9, and yes wait for the aviation herald report for details.

I think they will. Steam keeps the money for something like 30 days before taking its cut, taxes etc and pays the devs.

So normally they still have all the not yet refunded money, they won’t lose anything except time and work force (so money yeah ok…)

It is that game yeah, from a company used to abandon games shortly after releasing them but 4 days is a record.

They were also gloating on a now deleted YouTube video about using unpaid “volunteer” devs that worked only for fame and experience.
