Starbuck,

But blockchains get “bad” records added all the times. Database entries and blockchain blocks are both equally as susceptible to bad business logic making incorrect entries. No business is going to adopt a sales recording system that doesn’t allow them to control the entries and to reverse the entries they don’t agree with.

Starbuck,

It’s funny comparing tobacco to an actual addictive stimulant, coffee, and decided sugar is the problem. I say as I drink my black coffee in the morning.

Whatever it takes to get you away from Starbucks seems like a win though.

Starbuck,

Haha, yeah. I guess that’s ironic that I’m taking a stance against Starbucks with a username like this.

Does anyone here have any tips for making cross stitching easier on hand joints?

I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a...

Starbuck,

My wife swears by her frame, etsy.com/…/ks-creations-baby-z-frame-lap-frame

Kind of pricey, worth it so her hands and shoulders aren’t sore.

Starbuck,

There’s also a fun “lost time” theory were they rearrange Egyptian history to better align with the Bible. Interesting read on Wikipedia until you get to the debunking.

Starbuck,

Thank you for posting this. I’m here from All and reading this transported me back to when my father passed away and we released his cell phone number back into the ether.

Starbuck,

Why? What’s in Texas? This says Maryland

Starbuck,

But the surrogate would receive IUI or IVF, and in almost every case you attempt IUI first. I’ve had friends go through IVF, it’s a lot of daily shots, drugs, and at least two days of inpatient surgery. IUI is much simpler.

**ps:**The article doesn’t mention IUI, but I think you might be right that since neither covered partner is receiving IUI/IVF, the coverage isn’t there.

Starbuck,

It looks like someone let their cat do the typing for the footer there. Is that a real language at the bottom?

Starbuck,

Remember in the 90s when everyone switched to plastic bags to save the trees or some bullshit? The manufacturers / oil companies knew that plastic recycling didn’t work and they pushed it so hard anyways.

Starbuck,

I always assume there was a proximity to Mordor thing. So out at the Shire, it was pretty weak and Gandalf could get away with the envelope trick, but when they get into Mordor, an envelope or chain wouldn’t have worked.

Starbuck,

Okay, glad I didn’t make that up. But it’s been a while since I’ve read the book. Guess it’s time to rewatch the movies though.

Starbuck,

I think there could be protesters in the back grounds calling for the lever to be pulled, who are labeled “also antisemitism”

Starbuck,

Maybe look into Tailscale. At the end of the day, someone needs to open up the ports, but Tailscale does it strictly to negotiate a VPN connection between two devices, so they don’t see the traffic that goes over the tunnel.

Starbuck,

I do Tailscale on every device, but they also have a Funnel service that might work for you

Starbuck, (edited )

I think you should understand that if you are opening ports to the wide internet, you are putting yourself and anyone else on your network at risk. You’re playing with fire here.

I have this setup with Tailscale so that I can watch plex from anywhere, without exposing ports to devices that I don’t trust and I can help you if you want. But don’t expose 80 to the internet.

Starbuck, (edited )

It actually doesn’t, because the drive won’t “let” you overwrite the reserve space. That’s why they introduced SSD secure erase, so the firmware knows that you mean to overwrite everything.

Alternatively you could just use full disk encryption and burn the key when you are done.

Starbuck,

What does that via say? That looks like it was forwarded or something. IDK, it looks like Google correctly identified something fishy about that email, and they don’t exempt their own emails from the rules (which is good).

Starbuck,

I think there is also a ground disturbance component to it. I noticed that around me, new neighborhoods didn’t have a lot while older neighborhoods and undisturbed areas had a lot.

Starbuck,

Yeah, I think this would be the right thing to do. Give them the physical parameters of the battery, but not the capacity. Let them innovate.

It would also be interesting to do something with charging. Like fix the tires so they don’t require a tire swap, but they must recharge for 20 seconds or something. Not enough to charge the whole battery by any means, but the first team to figure out how to dump a meaningful amount of power in would have an advantage.

Equipment

The Raspberry Pi won’t be able to supply enough power for a 3.5-inch hard drive.

Steps

  1. Connect the hard drive to the adapter:

    • Carefully plug the SATA power and data cables from the SATA to USB adapter into the corresponding ports on the HGST Ultrastar He12 drive.
  2. Connect to the Raspberry Pi:

    • Plug the USB end of the SATA to USB adapter into an available USB port on your Raspberry Pi.
  3. Power the hard drive:

    • Connect the external power supply to the hard drive. Do not attempt to power it solely through the Raspberry Pi.
  4. Mount the hard drive (on the Raspberry Pi):

    • Check if the drive is detected: Use the command lsblk to list connected block devices. Your hard drive should show up (e.g., /dev/sda1).
  • Format: The hard drive might come pre-formatted with a filesystem that Raspberry Pi doesn’t recognize. You may need to format it using a Linux-compatible filesystem like ext4. Use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 (replace ‘/dev/sda1’ if necessary).
  • Create a mount point: Use the command sudo mkdir /mnt/mydrive (you can replace ‘mydrive’ with any name you prefer).
    • Mount the drive: Use the command sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mydrive (replace ‘/dev/sda1’ with the actual device name if different).

Important Considerations

  • Power: Raspberry Pi’s USB ports cannot provide enough power for a large hard drive. Using an external power supply is crucial to avoid damaging the Raspberry Pi or causing the hard drive to malfunction.
  • Automatic Mounting: To automatically mount the drive on startup, you’ll need to edit your /etc/fstab file.

Additional Tips

  • Enclosure: Consider getting an enclosure for the hard drive and its adapter for protection and portability.
  • Data Transfer: File transfers over USB 2.0 (if your Raspberry Pi has that) will be slower than directly connected SATA.

PS: I’m a human who started typing out half of this, then wanted to see if the AI could come up with a better response. I gave it the image from the posting above and said “I want to connect this to a Raspberry Pi” and I thought it came out with a better response. Mine originally only mentioned the USB-SATA part, while the LLM came back with instructions (I had to reorder them, but otherwise they looked good)

Starbuck,

softscotch@lemmy.world what did you end up going too? I’m planning a trip to Milan for this summer and came across your thread
