Me looking at the huge list of AMD CPUs currently available

Update: These drives produce quite a lot of vibration, which isn't unexpected. They aren't overly noisy up close, but you can go pretty much anywhere in the house and the sound is exactly the same!

I've ordered a couple of 3.5" to 5.25" mounts which have better isolation than the usual little rubber grommets to hopefully get rid of the vibration.

I also ordered some better silicone feet for the server case which should help too.

Brand new kitchen
07/10/26(Wed)22:19

Oh, we just call it stainless steel, sometimes it's referred to as inox on metal cutting blades.

Stainless would be a nice option for the cooker. I quite like stainless for the kitchen accessories. Most of mine are, but not my cooker which is dark brown, and from 1987! XD

It's a Tricity Sovereign and was the top electric cooker back then. My dad bought it for my mum as she always complained that the crappy old cooker was always why the food was burned. In 1987 I remember it cost £750!!! The food continued to be burned XD

I've kept it alive for a long time, but it's impossible to get parts for now so when I update my kitchen one day I'll get a new one.

I don't know why the person who owns the cooker like mine keeps theirs in the garden, but I find it more useful in the kitchen.

I too keep a gimp or two around for special occasions.

Give it time, and maybe sit by the window or outside. ;)

I played the witcher 3 again..it feels just like the old game but a friend told me they changed the progression/skill system.

What in the fuck is this stupid old fuckwit talking about. I'd love to know if he knows he's talking bullshit or if he truly believes what he says is real!?! Mind blowing!

Incredibly sad to see this. She was such a good person. She did so much to help people, and specifically kids, have access to books.

This is just so sad. A genuinely good person who got caught up in drug addiction. I imagine mental health was the underlying issue.

Burn, motherfucker, burn
13/08/26(Thu)10:28

Went up the hill to watch the solar eclipse yesterday evening to find there had been a fire up there which had burnt a fairly large area.

I also noticed it was quite hazy and sure enough there were several wildfires to the south!

Crazy shit!

Why doesn't it look like the instructions! XD

The ground is solid down at least 3 feet (914.4mm)! I'm using a narrow post-hole spade when I can, but have been having to use my SDS drill on chisel only mode to carve my way through the ground quite a lot! There is also quite a lot of stone to deal with so again the SDS drill makes that much easier to deal with.

Expecting low 30's over the next couple of days so might not get much done. We'll see.

Wow! It's really well supported then. That really makes the expense a much smaller issue.

I'm pleased you've seen sense and converted another PC to linux. I can't think why Windows would be 'read-only' though. Maybe it was doing some kind of disk/file management? Well a quick search suggests it's a fairly common problem! Micro$oft really do suck!

New bike, who's this?
11/08/26(Tue)08:06

I was cycling the route to work on my personal cycle and was passed by old & young on electric cycles. And I couldn't keep up.. I felt so 1900's, lol.

As soon as this bike is mine I'd like to up the limit too. The resistance at 26.2 km/h is annoying me. I guess I'll have to deep dive in hacking the software ;)

I have ideas for a long wheelbase truck, not sure if it would be 4 or 6 wheels. Maybe an old style cab or a oshkosh military style cab, most likelt 3D printed. I like the idea of it being very different in wheelbase so it provides a different driving experience.
