"The cause is a new SATA specification which includes the ability to disable power to the hard disk. When you look at the SATA power connection on the back of your hard drive, there are 15 pins that make contact with your power supply. It's the third pin that delivers a 3.3V signal that disables the drive. What we need to do is prevent that third pin from making contact with the power cable."
Some hotswap harddrive bays use this feature, definitely more common in enterprise scenarios or in USB HDD enclosures.
I've always liked the ultrastar line. Used to be made by HGST and then WD bought them. I'm using specifically the HC530 14tb. The line has a long history of being very reliable enterprise drives.
I've bought mine from both goharddrive and serverpartsdeals. Both are reliable resellers of used storage. They'll warranty the drives for 2 or 5 years depending on which you to with. Prices are ~$130-$150.
Be aware you might need to do the electrical tape over some of the power pins hacks depending on your setup.
Ps. One of the listings for the HC530 on goharddrive or serverpartdeals is incorrectly labels as HC520. Just pay close attention.
As far as raid goes, Raid 10 is currently very popular for its speed and drive failure tolerance. Remember, raid is not a replacement for the 3-2-1 backup rule. Raid has some fault tolerances for bad hard drives, but doesn't protect against a failed raid card, fire, flood, robber, acts of god, etc.
You can also look into zfs and truenas if you feel inclined. Be aware that if you go with this setup, ecc ram is basically a requirement
Ah that fixed it thanks! Should probably be under look and feel? Is it on by default? I don't remember turning it off
I've used incogni and kanary. I'm not a fan of incogni. They have a list of data sellers and blast each one with requests to remove your data, whether or not they actually have it. Additionally I've been asked many times to verify information they found to see if its mine. Its not, like not even close. Same last name but the first name, age, and location are way off.
Kanary's been much better about targeting my specific information for removal. Its more expensive but I think they do a better job overall. I'm definitely more confident in them than incogni.
I can open a bug report, but list view is still not showing the vote scores unfortunately
I have no complaints with the framework keyboard, is there a particular issue you're concerned about? The track pad is almost apple quality. Certainly better than most laptops I've used.
I figured, just wanted to let others know to manage expectations
Also thanks for your work on this, its a great app
Love my 11th gen framework, but there is an issue with the 11th gens where the CMOS battery will die rather quickly. If it does die then the laptop needs to be plugged in to turn on, even if it is fully charged. Framework is aware of the issue and will send a free replacement battery or, if you can solder, a mod that will eliminate the issue for good.
Still love framework and would definitely recommend them - but the 11th gen line (their first product) has a few gotchas
I was looking into this last night, what's the current Dev status of termux? I saw the last release is from 2022 and there's a call for more maintaiers.
Friendly reminder that Trader Joes is another Union busting shit company
I've been using Addy for years and it's been great. I believe I'm on the lite plan and have never (to my knowledge) hit any limits. Definitely recommend.
There's also a setting for minimum spacing between parts. The default is overly cautious iirc, I'd suggest lowering it and trying again, though I don't expect it to change much
Its not as energy dense, overall battery life will be worse. The battery won't degrade as fast overtime, so the battery will keep more total capacity over the years, as compared to a lithium ion battery that would have noticeably less battery after a few years of use.
Not sure your budget, but you might be interested in one of these https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite
I'll start this by saying I'm not familiar with either model, but as a general rule, always go x86 when you can. The Intel processor is going to be much better supported. You might get the snapdragon version to run, but it likely isn't supported by mainline Linux.
That being said, touch screen support on Linux is improving rapidly, but still isn't quite there. Make sure you're aware of the user experience before buying so you won't be disappointed.
Also, my unsolicited 2 cents, I would try to avoid buying lenovo. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of fixing a few of their products (an all-in-one and a few laptops, including a new thinkpad) and can confidently say their reliability, and repairability have greatly diminished. They use cheap parts and are in general, poorly designed.
Onshape hands down. Browser based so there's no compatibility issues. It's super easy to use and pretty powerful. Its free for hobbiests (the caveat being your models will be publically accessible). We use it exclusively at work and it's been awesome.
I'd love a good Foss CAD package but there are too many issues with the current ones for me to make the jump.
A (small) part of not putting all your eggs in one basket is also avoiding vender lock-in. Having your personal email with proton, and your password manager with them makes it very difficult to switch in the future if you need to.
On a side note, I use anonaddy (now Addy.io). It allows you to create email aliases on the fly. So when I sign up for a new account somewhere, I generally make up some email like "example@my-account.anonaddy.com" for the email and save that right to bitwarden.
Looks like simplelogin supports the same thing https://simplelogin.io/blog/subdomains/
PS. Using your own domain name is a great way to avoid vender lock-in =)
Since I do not write in public on forums anymore due to a series of death threads, I'm using the release notes here instead for this: November 16, 2023: I'm considering giving up developing public ...
Note I'm not the dev
