fixate on what you think you know… you’re missing what you don’t though.
did your article measure aging? assuming you didn’t fry your PC with the excess paste, there is no edge seal on voids when you use too much. over time most paste will dry and crack, creating new voids and hot spots. there is a difference between hour old transfer compound and 2 year old compound.
this has got to be a troll post. right? RIGHT?!
as you pointed out, just get rid of the air gaps with the absolute minimal amount of paste.
ensure your heat sink does not have pre-applied paste or a pad. apply a small amount of paste. cut the thickness with the short edge of an old credit card at about a 30° angle, using just enough pressure to bend the card slightly so the smooth surface of the card presses paste into voids and the trailing edge of the card removes excess to level the surface - you will likely still be able to make out some chip package markings through the paste. remove all edge excess and spillage. fit your heat sink. done.
dont discount the utility of running containers in an abstracted Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) away from your physical hardware. it expands your testing surfaces and sandboxes immeasurably.
just installed forgejo on a locally hosted lxc instance on a spare qemu VM. will use primarily for my own projects and external devs who collaborate on client projects.
doing my part to give an nvidia sized/shaped “torvalds” to ms.
edit: love it. glad I finally pulled the trigger on this.
little wins and small victories is very low volume, but wonderful to see pop up in your feed.
I am curious… what was running through the mind of your downvoter?! everything you said was spot on. linux based distributions are at great place right now and debian is the perfect distro for my needs.
when I want to 'splore I will boot an semi-exotic like aros or hurd… how is templeos doing these days?
ymmv, but debian has always been near perfect through upgrades for me: even a recent buster -> bullseye -> bookworm -> trixie went smoothly.
issues usually arise from not maintaining a clean debian stable install (e.g. you were using backports or lots of 3rd party repos). if those are cleaned up prior things still usually go well.
not saying you didn’t have issues, but in my experience with with lots and lots of debian systems, upgrades have been 99.9% cakewalk.
honestly, I have always had pretty decent experiences with non-oem lead-acid batteries. my local battery place has a decent supply and longevity is roughly the same as the oem ones (3-4 years). I have never had any issues (type or frequency) that were not also an issue with oem batteries.
almost no UPS mfcr makes their own batteries, so if you strip off the labeling from the oem ones, you may even find an exact replacement.
edit: another advantage of a local place is the core-return rebate and disposal of your old batteries.
spaghetti is delicious for a reason.
in-line all your code and avoid the linker :-)
agreed, upvoted. for our current reality, this tracks.
pure. internet. classic.
sending LoL!
You shouldn’t be getting downvoted.
agreed. a tad snarky, but it was an honest opinion. lemmy will grow and communities will fill out.
one thing that may help are clients that allow community aggregation into meta communities. this would allow users to be presented with a themed superfeed of similar communities across many instances. easiest done at the client level (no protocol changes needed), but could be extended to communities using meta tags or moderator inclusion into meta communities with protocol help. protocol support would also allow meta communities to be presented via the web interface.
perhaps this has already been done in some clients. if implemented thoughtfully it could be interesting and perhaps even useful.
HAHA HaHa haha… * cry *
got this one right away. now, get off my lawn!
federation certainly allows the bubble to close - {dot}world is an example; zero hate, people can absolutely choose to ensmollen their PoV if that makes their world safer. the nice thing is, interesting, thriving alter-views are only a federated instance away :-)
I tend towards the democratic socialist point of view as a default, but damn-me if hexbear isn’t both entertaining and informative, even if I disagree with some of their more… spicy(?) positions (sometimes vehemently).
lemmy{dot}ml is one of the most widely federated instances around, primarily because its a pretty diverse mix of lefty and lefty-ish ideas. lemmygrad{dot} hexbear{dot}net and blahaj{dot}zone and others equality as infuriating/interesting are all accessible from lemmy{dot}ml. its a pretty ideal instance, for me at least.
one thing I do try to make a point of doing is preferentially interacting on non {dot}world posts and comments. many peeps will post across community instances to encourage engagent diversity. keeping things active on non-{dot}world communities helps everyone.
this is an important observation. lemmy users are pretty damn protective of our signature drive-by commentary and federation makes it easier to enforce “small world graph” etiquette.
holistically, I have never seen any situations where federation, on net, did not make things objectively better.
yup! thats the dance floor version. :-) spread it far and wide.
just the continuation of the monied monarchy. we have the solution.
Nature created neither servant nor master;
I seek neither to rule nor to serve.
And its hands would weave the entrails of the priest,
For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings.
are you able to give additional info on the DNS issue you had?
