Fuck!

ARRGGHHHHH!!!! If fucking happened again last night!?!?!?! FFS!

All I know is something broke down the road, either a cable or transformer. Then last night the same thing happened again about 100 metres further along!

Annoyingly one 4TB drive is trashed, but when I remove it from the array the remaining drive mounts correctly and all is good.

I'm thinking of building a simple cheap and cheerful AMD Ryzen 5 4500 with 16Gb ram, maybe only 8Gb as I think I have some somewhere which will save £125. I'll add a couple of new 6Tb or 8Tb drives to replace the 2 4Tb drives and keep using my pair of 5Tb drives as well.

I had a UPS but it broke a while back. I had planned to fix it but life got in the way! XD Time to buy a new UPS as well!

The wheels and fenders are on. Test drive showed the turning circle is HUGE but other than that it drives smoothly. No issues with shifting gears or any other technical thing. The MFC has to be programmed in order to properly work so that will be a challenge for another time.

I think it's nice little detail. It is a bit of shame to ruin more detailed scale body with body mounts and r-clips. I'm not sure who started it, but it seems quite common on rock crawlers.

I did test out the idea of doing magnetic body mounts on my Tamiya Hornet but they just aren't strong enough.

It's not as bad as it looks in that image, but I haven't done any precise alignment on this car yet, so yes they are a little bit wonky.

It can only be better/worse.

Better if our I/O overlords are watching.
Worse if it's humons.

It's a bit slippery here

Same here. It was a bit slippery this morning but now it's raining and all white shit's gone.

Why does every company have to add AI to everything now!?! FFS :(

ugh

Sometimes out bodies like to conspire against us! Sneaky little bastards.

I noticed all sorts of strange problems over the past year while fighting the DWP (Government Benefits Department). All of it caused by stress!

Just make sure to keep yourself healthy :)

I've never seen the wire, but her does look familiar so I feel I must have seen him in something.

It is a shame she was a racist cunt, but the jokes on her because I never listened to a word she said. I was too busy for other reasons...

Oh my..

If Trump had it all his way every word in the English language would be changed to Trump. This fucking guy is in love with himself.

I thought AR was dead.. I guess they went more to 'smart' (AI barf) glasses? :|

So you gonna need 2 AR glasses? Or use one with combined sight if that would be possible. But I guess that be very expensive, right?

I have those far&near sight glasses. Okay, they also turn darker when the UV light is higher but that was only about 100 euro more. The total amount, for the glasses, was just too damn high!

first linky, it's pcmag but still

Have you got a new kitty yet?

Not yet. I've been hoping the CDS (Cat Distribution system) would provide me with another one, but it hasn't happened. I should really look in to it soon.

AI ain't all that bad, though

I don't know what that means, but it feels like something I'm happy without XD

I haven't used KVM so I can't really add anything, but if you're just wanting a print server for your 3D printer then a rapsi with octoprint installed is the way to go.

Oh dear

Good

mm..something feels off

And this is why using AI to produce images for advertising is such an incredibly bad idea XD

Election day is upon us

You system is better as with lots of small parties it forces politicians to work together to some extent to get things done. voters will have very little loyalty to a specific party and will happily switch to another similar party if they aren't happy. In the UK we only have 2 major parties, although the right wing conservative vote is fracturing now with Reform. Our system means we get a single government with absolute power to do what they want, yours has a chance to represent more people with a broader political view. At least in theory, the reality is always less than you'd hope for!

Thanks! This one I used the paint & brushes. You can't really mix the colours with the pens, it'll work a bit but it also stains the pens themself.
