Dad is that you? :D

Unfortunately he bought a “modern” HP a few years back. It’s a nightmare.

I switched to running docker inside wsl2 (installed as per their docs) and so far it’s been working well.

He can’t pay tho

Mine was off, just checked.

I used my 5900x for over 3 years without a hiccup (months of uptime) when suddenly an update completely wrecked my idle stable. I think I figured it out, but yeah a happy AMD customer with the occasional “Why isn’t shit stable out of the box”

Now Intel… Hahahaha guys I think you got screwed :/ time to lawyer up.

This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between “no time” and “I need better lightning” / “research about safe non toxic paint cleaner” I kinda forgot about it.

Do you have any modern guides with “just get this and don’t overthink it” that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don’t really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.

Keep painting 👍👌

The last time I had to send 30 Euro to someone, I had to pay 5 Euro for gas fees. It used to be even worse. Your statements are bullshit, we all know what the usual use cases are (other than speculation)

Tell me you don’t live in Germany without telling me you don’t live in Germany :D

It is impossible to compete when the playing field is not level. If state subsidies, energy production, co2 impact (not bullshit certificates and offsetting) could be equalized, then tariffs wouldn’t be so badly needed.

I too would like to have no VAT, import tax etc, and for everyone to get along nicely. The reality is, that we live in a highly competitive world where major powers are fighting for control over critical industries and raw resources.

Ja das ist einfach peinlich, vor allem wenn man angesprochen wird und nichts unternimmt. Rücksichtslos ist hier viel zu nett formuliert. Bei uns parkt immer wieder einen Camper / Transporter direkt an die Kreuzung neben eine Kita, blockiert den Gehweg und man sieht hinter dem Auto einfach gar nichts. Überqueren mit einen Kind ist da einfach nicht lustig. Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall auf den Urteil, und bin gespannt, ob die Schwiegereltern auch das anmeckern. Wieso Gehweg kein Parkplatz mehr ist 😯

Ich mache mich jetzt absolut unbeliebt,check this out: Ich habe lange Jahren meinen Motorrad auf dem Gehweg geparkt, bis zum ich einen Stellplatz bekommen habe. Auf die Straße habe ich es nur eine kurze Zeit ausprobiert. Nachdem mehrmals alles von riesige SUVs, bis falsch geparkten Miles Transporter weniger cm von meinen Motorrad standen, habe ich das aufgegeben. Man wird nicht nur dumm angeguckt (ich nehme nämlich Autofahrer auch den Parkplatz weg!), der potential für materielle Schäden ist enorm.

Und natürlich gibt es in den ganzen Viertel nur ein paar dedizierte Parkplätze für Mofas und Motorräder.

Also schön ist es nicht, und viele andere hier machen das auch. Meistens nimmt man Rücksicht und blockiert kein effektiv nutzbare Teil vom Gehweg. Manchmal aber auch nicht. Ich hätte mir hier generell weniger Autoplätze gewünscht, und ein paar davon könnte man für Mofas opfern. Leider ist hier sogar die SPD gegen die zErStÖruNg und es bleiben nur die Grünen mit den vernünftigen Vorschläge.

Edit: ich wollte nur eine andere Perspektive geben, falls das jemand interessiert :)

I’ve been a bit busy so I haven’t had the time to figure out what and how much I need to compensate so the sensor data is more useful. One of the sensors seems to be detecting something reminiscent of a sine curve, so this will involve some extra high school math to find a function to cancel it out. Busy dad etc, maybe next week. In the mean time I started putting together the case and ordered the springy subwoofer legs. Here is how a simple plot of the raw acceleration looks like.

It’s obvious which one is the before and after. The second one even includes two trains arriving back to back.

Now I need to figure out a few things:

1. repeatable experiment (hammer? dropping something heavy from the same height?)
2. make the Z-axis reading more useful and compare velocities
3. add some foam/plywood and rubber feet on the disks

I’m wondering, now that you’ve seen the app, do you have some practical advice on how to measure the difference without having to spend a few hours researching and refreshing on high school physics? It seems that my only option is to run the “Acceleration without g” experiment and work on the csv export.

A probably naive approach would be to filter out values below a certain threshold (a ‘low pass filter’ of sorts to deal with a noisy sensor) and then try to meaningfully sum the acceleration by time period. But just as I wrote this I realized that I can’t simply sum a few values from several rows and call it a day.

The article you linked explained the idea behind the pseudo velocity well, I’m wondering if I can… “sum the area” (assuming interpolated data) under the various measurement points. Without completely nerding out and investing too much time :D My sensor seems to have a rate of 200Hz, so it should be good for measuring vibrations up to 100Hz.

Edit, it’s integrals, right? This is actually exciting, haven’t touched math since university. Also here’s an example of how the acceleration graph looks like when the phone is on the heating / radiator (more or less worst case):

I have 3 Intel S3700’s, one for the OS and two 400GB ones for a mirror pool (might do a raidz1 as well). But getting anything in a serious capacity (8-12 TB of usable storage) with datacenter SSDs is really expensive. :(

Can you elaborate on “the right kind”, do you mean the NAS grade ssd’s?

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to include so many details. I can see myself easily building the aforementioned plywood+foam sandwich platform, sounds like a more solid platform to put the NAS case on (mid tower).

The subwoofer feet also look fun, I remember reading about them back in the reddit days. After revisiting my notes and the post, there were some concerns about harmonic vibrations and oscillations from the drive having an negative impact. But reading it again, I don’t think that this will be a problem.

I think I’ll start with the feet and see how they perform while I source the plywood and foam. Maybe there are also some foam / rubber mounts for the disks themselves, I should be able to find suitable one as it’s a more common problem to have.

Do you have recommendations for how I should best measure the results? Preciously I looked into the raw acceleration data to see how strong the vibrations are, and then I looked into the spectrum to find the vibration frequencies. All with consumer / noob friendly tools (phyphox), hoping that the change will be measurable and the results - meaningful.
