I've got a 3440*1440 screen, keyboard and mouse at a small deck in the lounge room. It's primary use is for WFH while supervising children and does that well with everything plugged into the monitor and USBC to the laptop works great.

Sometimes I'd like to play some light games (Tabletop Simulator mostly) from the desktop in the garage on this setup, but without using the work laptops.

What device should I buy to facilitate this. What ever it is I will install some Linux on.

@fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I'd get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a

So I want to set up #HomeAssistant. I have various services running in docker on the home server. Home Assistant gives me too many options, and then describes the differences in terms of things I'm not yet familiar with.

Any hints on which method of installing it is going to be the least pain without hamstringing myself from being able to get things working?

I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my little old Optiplex running NixOS.

Every minute or so iowait spikes to 50% and everythign is sluggish. iotop shows nothing interesting, no app is doing more than 1M/s, total is <2M/s.

dmesg has no new events in that time, but I do have a USB port that keeps dropping and coming back (could it be that stumbling and recovering without a disconnect? I don't think so as those disconnections occur without high iowait)

Any ideas?

I've got an ubuntu pc/server that is doing a good impersonation of a yoyo. Either rebooting or locking up (can't toggle numlock) every 15m~12h.

syslog doesn't have anything exciting before the hand/reboot. Inspecting the last update to glances doesn't show anything exciting either (temps are normal, ram usage 20%, load average of 0.2, etc).

I've replaced the RAM and PSU. What would your next attempt at a fix be?

That is a lot less disks than I expect, hopefully this is just a cable/card reseating issue

VPN went down at 4:40pm.

IS sends email at 5:11pm that they are looking into it.

IS sends email at 9:07am that they are still looking into it.

When do I decide to spend 2.5 hours heading into the office?

Now I'm 1 week into a personal project where I decided to use rust for the first time, I like #Rust

Hopefully I don't regret this choice in a few weeks.

So apparently Cities Skylines II has a hard cap on currency of $2B.

Which is sort of reasonable.

I started using #phanpy yesterday, and I am mostly loving it, but that it keeps adjusting the text to be smaller every few characters is doing a number on me.

So many reporters aren't worth reading. Take this article about a oil tanker crashing while searching for phone reception: https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/29/signal_search_caused_oil_spill/

YUes it mentions the shipping company saying their ships have free satellite Internet. It does not report on any reasons why phone reception would still be wanted. Leaving readers with such obvious and important questions is incompetence.

UberEats Driver: I'm here for order X
Employee: Where are you from
UED: Sri Lanka
E: Show me the order
E: That's UberEats, we don't have UberEats.
E: That's for nextdoor, they have giant signs.

The mistake is easy, but why would the store want to know what country he was born in....

What interesting style options can I make for a keyboard #PCB?

I mean in the way I place components and traces.

Current ideas:

• Be hyper strict on horizontal top, vertical bottom (or maybe a 45 degree rotation of that). Although this will look a little odd in use as this is a split keyboard and I'm intending to use the one PCB flipped for the second side.

• Curved traces. Sort of the obvious option.

Anything else?

#askFedi Can you tell the difference between a USB Hub and a USB Root Hub?

Do you have a USB C dock or hub?

Can you check if it's a USB Root Hub and let me know it's details so I can buy it?

Just trying to plug and unplug less USB devices every day.
