Hey, I’m having this issue only with Mander. I can’t reliably reproduce it, sometimes it’ll go days without issue. But then the insurance gets disconnected and I need to add the account again. Does not happen with my account on another instance. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any clues as to what is causing it?
So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?
I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.
Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?
I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.
I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.
So I wanted to get myself a Kill-a-watt. Being who I am, I wanted information regarding its accuracy, especially at low power draws. I found a comparison with a industry grade equipment (Fluke is about the best out there in handheld electrical meters). It’s not encouraging, so I thought about a more proper meter, but it’s not easy to find an actual power meter that is accurate at low loads, isn’t a hassle to install and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
What do you use? Am I overthinking it?
I am building my 3-2-1 backup system and wanted to add an external HD to my TrueNAS machine. Since it only works with ZFS, I thought of setting up that drive as a compressed, dedup ZFS volume.
I have a truckload of NVMe left on the boot drive that I could repartition and turn some of the free space as a dedup vdev for the backup drive. I don't have any other physical bays to add a dedicated drive on the machine.
A) Is that a bad idea? What are the downsides of using the boot drive like that?
B) Which tool do you recommend for local backup? I'm looking for actual incremental backup, not just a sync tool.
I bought a pair of bongos by impulse while browsing guitar center ($90 discounted to $40). I have never played them. I don't play the drums either. Or percussion. Yeah...
I think I got the tuning right on the hembra, but the macho keeps sounding very flat, as if I'm permanently muting it with the other hand, or if I'm drumming on Tupperware. There's no resonance like in the big one.
I'm afraid to keep on tightening it and ruin the hide. The lug nuts have gotten pretty stiff to turn, harder than the hembra's. Is that normal?
Edit: forgot to mention the pitch is rather dark. I wanted a higher pitch. I understand shell material and construction and head material will limit what tone I can achieve, but it doesn't sound right to me. I was looking to emulate the bright sounds at the intro to Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits (the live version has it).
Hi there! I'm trying to find a gift for my resident bassist. He's got a 15W 10" bass amp which for bass is only enough for rehearsals. He started gigging and I want to gift him a new amp. Something that can be connected to a concert setup as the band is about get their hands on loaned equipment.
I know in pro set-ups there's an amp head connected to some speakers. And somehow that is connected to overall concert sound system. How is that connected? Is that "output direct connect" I see in some combo amps?
Where can I read about it? All I've found online was useless. I guess my lack of basic knowledge prevents me from asking Google the right questions.

A team of researchers in China has reported for the first time the live birth of a monkey that contains a high proportion of cells derived from a monkey stem cell line. This "chimeric" monkey is composed of cells that originate from two genetically distinct embryos of the same species of monkey. This has previously been demonstrated in rats and mice but, until now, has not been possible in other species, including non-human primates. The details of the research are reported November 9 in the journal Cell.
Hi there! I'm another reddit refugee, been lurking here since the API fiasco.
How do I search for a community across the several federated instances? Is there a directory somewhere?
Thanks!
