    [discussion] Transporting heavy/bulky stuff?
  • I've used (and do use) a lot of different things. One of my bikes has a front basket which is very helpful. I have a pair of large panniers that clip on a rack on each side and a smaller one that folds over the top of the rack. I have a long-tail cargo bike which is amazing, it's got almost as much space as a USA shopping cart. I have used a trailer, mostly for pulling kids but they work well for cargo and usually clip on and off quickly and some fold up flat for storage. The long-tail cargo bike is the least appealing if you don't have somewhere at street level to store it, but I think it's the best option if you do.

    Encrypt whole system?
  • You said you're on Arch, you'll want to go through their docs which are solid: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system

    Encrypt whole system?
  • How old are we talking? If the CPU is >10 years old and/or some kind of ARM, it may not have hardware encryption acceleration, which means it'll happen in software. I did that once, it was horrible. lscpu |grep -i aes should probably tell you what you need to know.

    I just tightened the brakes on my bike
  • Pads are brand new, I had a pro replace them a couple months ago (lazy). It's just this bike positively eats brake cable for breakfast. (Weird, this got mis-threaded in the reply, trying again)

    I moved from California to Texas but only stayed 4 months. Texas isn't much cheaper, and everyone was politics-obsessed.
  • I spent three months in Houston about 10 years ago and I've never experienced such a wild-ass level of passive aggressive probing to see if I was in their particular in-group anywhere else. I'm from the Midwest and used to some of that but it was every fucking conversation, down to getting asked what church I attend while trying to get a coffee at a cafe.

    [question] worthwhile GPU that fits in a 3U chassis?
  • That's probably the plan, though I see an Intel a380 low-profile for all of $100 that might be useful for some encode/decode tasks

    [question] worthwhile GPU that fits in a 3U chassis?
  • Worth checking, though the 3U isn't super-spacious inside

  • I built a system around a 3U chassis, then tried to stuff a GPU in the box and couldn't close the lid. I got a 4U chassis and rebuilt the system, but I still have the 3U and I'm thinking about filling it back out so I have a failover for Proxmox. Is there a GPU I should consider or just stick with the integrated graphics? I'm currently only using the GPU for Steam remote play using pass-though to a Windows VM, but Jellyfin, Frigate, Immich are on my to-do list.

    I just tightened the brakes on my bike
  • I just use a couple wood clamps but having some kind of third hand makes such a huge difference when you're in the middle of an adjustment and there's something that just won't stay where you want it.

  • Cable disc brakes. I kept putting it off but it was riding like shit and didn't feel safe, brake levers nearly contacting the handlebar. I had it in my head that the adjustment was like a 30 minute job. Grabbed Allen wrenches, a couple third hands, screwdrivers. 5 minutes and two Allen bolts later, all done. Topped off the tires with air, quick test ride, meat's back on the menu. No real point to this post, but maybe you've made a quick adjustment or repair that made you happy?

    Every time someone mentions an interesting book, I make a note of it. Then a couple times a month, I go back through my notes, pop open a website that shall not be named, snag em all, throw them into calibre-web and sync them down to my ereader. I can get hours of enjoyment from a 1-2MB file, and I love that. Same for older cartridge-format game roms, a N64 rom is generally under 50MB and can keep me busy for days, an NES or GB ROM is usually smaller file size than a book, and some great old DOS games clock in at a handful of MB.

    What other great bang-for-the-storage-buck stuff is out there that you enjoy?
