Qantas plane damages Perth Airport runway, leading to luggage restrictions on international flights
  • Title makes it sound like it was Qantas fault, but I've never seen a runway just lift off and fly away in jet wash before.

    [Question] Hosting services on Tailnet without Tailscale Serve
  • That's correct. You're telling docker to bind to that specific network interface. The default is 0.0.0.0 which listens on all interfaces.

    Can you help me find a solution. Can I get a monitor on an arm or something?
  • Just curious, but have you tried just making things bigger in software? There's vision accessibility tools tied into all the major OSes.

    Otherwise the amazon basics monitor mounts are basically an ergotron clone for way cheaper.

    A touchscreen monitor is basically designed to be pushed on, and might be a good option for more resilience

    Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning
  • STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.

    That would make sense, but page 21 of the datasheet with a typical application shows it going to REGN.

    If it's missing the cap on REGN though, that would probably fuck this all up? I must admit I'm not good at understanding when/where caps are applied.

    Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning
  • Oooh, thanks.

    Stupid schematic question for a second, when looking at this:

    If the "REGN" above the LED there is just referring to the REGN pin right below, why doesn't the line just go back down to the pin? Is this just a style thing, or does it mean something functionally different?

  • I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....

    Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.

    I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.

    Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

  • It's not as big a risk as this person is making out. If you're playing with low current microcontroller stuff, there's virtually no risk. At most you're gonna let the magic smoke out of a chip, not start a fire.

    If you start getting into stepper motors and things like that, sure, but that's a long ways from where you are today.

  • Hexbear - Refederation?

    Recently I was asked if we'd be willing to reconsider federation with Hexbear, followed by CARCOSA reaching out to me to see if it was something we'd be open to.

    They made a post asking if their community was interested in refederating with us, similarly I'd like the opinion of our local users.

    Why refederate?

    Hexbear has a decent number of sizable active communities:

    • https://hexbear.net/c/games
    • https://hexbear.net/c/technology
    • https://hexbear.net/c/movies
    • https://hexbear.net/c/food
    • https://hexbear.net/c/vegan

    These all seem fairly well moderated, giving us access to more diverse posts and viewpoints. A lot of our feed right now is dominated by US centric communities, and it'd be nice to get some more variety.

    Why not?

    They love trolling and I don't expect them to follow our rules when commenting (primarily "be civil").

    Just looking at their thread about us, there's a significant number of immature replies slandering us / Canada. I'm not confident their users will engage in actual discussion in our threads, rather than just showing up to throw out insults and memes.

    We can try to handle this by banning users / blocking specific communities, but that's going to increase moderation workload for both admins and mods. Hexbear is self admittedly quick to ban users on their side, but they also don't mind ban evasion - not ideal for us.

    So what's next?

    This is where we solicit your opinions, how does our community feel?

    Edit: Well, it looks like the community is overwhelmingly against refederation. Decision made, thanks everyone for your feedback!

    Lemmy.ca scheduled maintenance Saturday July 6th - Complete

    Hi everyone,

    We'll be undergoing maintenance on Saturday morning from about 11am - noon PST.

    We've been having some stability issues over the past few days that I've tracked down to database performance, so I'll be doing some tuning and also applying all our needed system updates at the same time.

    Cheers!

    Update: This is all done now!

    Edit: Holding off on lemmy as Blaze was nice enough to flag some new bugs - https://lemmy.ca/comment/9660430

    Edit: Pictrs upgrading taking longer than expected after the migration crashed, hopefully wrapped up soon!

    Finally Done! We're all ready for the new lemmy version now, maybe once a patch release comes out.

    Scheduled maintenance on Sunday Feb 18th at 11am PST - Now complete

    Hello everyone!

    I'm going to be taking the server down on Sunday to apply system updates, as well as migrate us to running across multiple lemmy containers.

    Currently we do a nightly restart of lemmy / lemmy-ui at 2am resulting in a 2-3 minute outage (visible on our status page). This change will make those restarts transparent so I stop getting alerts on my phone.

    I'm current planning on starting this at 11am PST on Sunday Feb 18th and will probably take about 30 mins.

    Edit: All done! We've upgraded to postgres 16 as well.
