I had a similar issue with a SAS drive In the backplane of a dell server. I thought for sure the drive was failing. Reseated it, cleaned the ports, ran some tests, just kept failing without any obvious signs why it was. Replaced it with a spare and same issue. That seemed very unlikely, so I put the old drive in another slot and its still running just fine going on 2 years without an issue. If you have another toaster give it a try.

The market is rife with cheapo junk tech. Ive seen several crapo off brand drive toasters fail, so thats possible. I don’t know the brand of yours so I can’t speak to them.

It could also just be the power supply for the toaster is crapping out, or doesn’t provide enough amperage. Those power supplies dont always keep providing the same amount of power forever, sometimes it drops over time, and that could be the cause too. Or they could be poorly made, meaning they probably drop in even short time periods.

If you have another power supply with the same voltage and higher amperage, you could try that. You could also try running only one drive in there and see if it keeps failing, if no issues, you could try the other drive and see if that one has issues. If that one doesn’t have issues either it could indicate power issues.

I think soc 2 type ii is nice, but I also don’t think it really says much about privacy in the context of me trusting what a business will do with my personal data. its been 4 or so years since if done an soc audit, so please correct me if I’m wrong. From what I recall its primarily geared toward security in general and when they say privacy, they mean securing your data from use unauthorized by the business.

The distinction im making here is that, from what I recall, soc 2 type ii says nothing about what can be done with your data (e.g. selling data to brokers, training ai, targeting ads, unclear/communicated eula changes, etc.). During these, and most other, security audits you can make business arguments as to why you should be exempt from various security mechanism or configs. These systems also don’t protect from techno fascist douchebaggery like feeding the government information on individuals without warrant or just cause, to assist in targeting minorities or activists for example.

To be clear, I use proton, I think its great, and MOSTLY trust them with my data. I do also like that they got soc 2 type ii, i wasnt aware till now so thanks for the heads up. I’m not accusing or trying to infer any wrong doing either. Mostly trying to point out this doesn’t resolve potential abuses some folks may have concerns about after ceo/board member/whateverthefuckingtitleis drama.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk…

That or more likely kernel panic.

I was wondering why I couldn’t find mine. I figured I just had short term memory loss.

Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

If your in the US you can tell them you’ll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn’t want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.

If only I could forget all the dumb shit I do or say…

This made me imagine people hiking around in short shorts with stiff and shiny legs.

Tuck your pants into your socks, this makes it much harder for them to get to the skin. And if you wear lighter color pants they’ll be easier to spot so you can grab and incinerate the little shits.

You can probably also get some nexguard plus! Jk thats for animals. They really should get something like that for peoples too though.

Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn’t seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I’d believe google would try to crap on that too though.

Is that android auto or wireless android auto?

I know this is necroing, but i’ve had one of “the perfect water” systems going on 2 years. The under the sink system can have UV light to reduce potential bacteria. Its reverse osmosis and multi stage, with a mineral stage. It has a staging tank thats pressurized so you get decent flow for like 3 gallons of water or something like that. It can have an attachment to go to your fridge even.

Literally the best water I’ve ever had, I’d never go back.

Changing filters is a little annoying, but you do it once a year and it took me all of 10 minutes. The reverse osmosis filter is every 2 years. You only ever put bleach on the tanks nipple like once a year and less than a spoon full. The longest part was draining and refilling the tank like 3 times to get the filters and tank primed after filter change.

They do whole house filters too.

I prefer distros if available, but in some cases the version in the distros can suck. A solid example, and this could 100% be user error, but I used aur to get Picard on my tablet, but there was no app menu bar. Like at all, no window settings in the world made a difference, and the global menu didn’t show anything either. So I couldn’t change settings at all. I removed the aur package and installed the flatpak, everything worked no problem.

Flatpaks are okay, but due to laziness, I’m not proficient with making them interact well with each other.

App images can be great, but also annoying depending on how your system handles them. On a Debian based machine it would “install” the app image as if it were a normal app, and in some cases even check for updates. In garuda I have to manually go to the file and execute it each time. I’m no Linux master, so I could probably do something in garuda to make it work similar to Debian, but I only have one app there that I care about and I’m lazy…

I don’t like snaps, they seem finicky to me.

If the Dev has their own recommended source, package, or whatever I try to stick to that. I.e. if they say their focus is on an app image, but aur has it, and there’s a flatpak, and x y z options, I’ll try the app image, and if that does what I need it to, I stick with it. If they recommend snap I try to find another app or another option to install.

I have an old Aruba and it works great. The GUI is a bit meh, but considering ive only had to use it once the past like 2 years, owell.

Yup this is the shittiest episode of lost yet.

I want a filament dryer, but I’m too cheap, and don’t use my printer enough. :(

I want to start using it again, but I’ve been struggling to get the motivation to recalibrate and figure out all the optimal settings again.

Or just toss it in the oven at a low temp for an hour or so. I’ve also turn my bed temp up high and put a spool on it with a box over it. Just cut some small holes in the too to allow humid air to come out. After an hour or so should be good to go. Assuming the issue is moist filament.

Jellyfin took a little setup, but it works great for me. Down side is I don’t currently know of a good way to access the media from outside my network. Maybe a RTFM issue I haven’t dealt with yet since I run both.

Apparently proton pass has a custom domain function I was unaware of until now. Looks like you have to go into settings > aliases. There is an ‘add custom domain’ button, assuming you need the domain added to your proton account with a catchall address maybe?
