Open the .min.user.js file in releases and it should get picked up by your userscript manager.
The .min file is a minified version of the .user.js file - both will work, it's just a bit smaller. The .meta files basically only contain the first metadata comments at the start of user.js files and they're for auto-updates to check the newest version without needing to download the whole .user.js file

I just moved into a new apartment and the wifi latency gets noticably worse the further away my device is located, especially my phone where things will just refuse to load despite the 4-5 bar symbol on 5ghz. This is all despite using a wifi extender.
What router settings should I change and what should I do beyond that? Does getting more expensive routers and wifi extenders actually make a noticable difference? Right now I'm just using a standard router provided by my ips and a really old extender

Thunderbird is the best one by far, unfortunately.

Obstacles of some sort, there's no magic anti-cat forcefield tech that exists. You need to make it so jumping over your PC is not a useful parkour route for your cat, by putting stuff on or near your PC that prevents that.
E.g. if you put your PC next to a wall, he won't have any reason to jump full speed over it.

Alternatively you can find a way to secure the PC better so it doesn't tip over.

You can definitely always just plug them in and they'll work just like external drives. The only bit of extra setup necessary might be if one of them has bootable windows, because changing the PC hardware will probably invalidate its license.

This is something you can usually ask an LLM pretty well:
Creating Static C Executables: Why ld Fails and How to Fix It

When linking C programs directly with ld, it fails because C programs require more than just libc - they need startup code (_start, _init, _fini), GCC runtime support (exception handling, math operations), and proper initialization/finalization routines.

Recommended approach: Use gcc -static -o program program.c

To use ld directly:
1. Compile to object file: gcc -c program.c
2. Discover required files: gcc -static -v program.c -o dummy 2>&1 | grep -E "(crt|\.o|\.a)"
3. Extract the collect2 command line showing all startup files and libraries
4. Craft your ld command with these components in order:
- crt1.o (entry point)
- crti.o (init section start)
- crtbeginT.o (GCC static startup)
- Your object files
- Libraries in --start-group/-lgcc/-lgcc_eh/-lc/--end-group
- crtend.o (GCC static cleanup)
- crtn.o (init section end)


For example, on my machine, I was able to make a static hello world using
ld -m elf_x86_64 -static -z now -o hello_world \
/usr/lib64/crt1.o \
/usr/lib64/crti.o \
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/crtbeginT.o \
-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14 \
-L/usr/lib64 \
hello_world.o \
--start-group -lgcc -lgcc_eh -lc --end-group \
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/14/crtend.o \
/usr/lib64/crtn.o

But gcc -static is the normal way to compile a static program, unless you're trying to learn how linking and the C runtime works.

It's possible there was another schizo on your IP range. Maybe someone spammed CP on a board you never even visit and jannies just nuked the entire range.
Or maybe it's just nonsense, Hiro has been known at least in the past to randomly block ranges for no reason. Buy passu, piggu gaijin.

You can of course post feedback, it likely won't help but it's not like it can hurt either. You can also try going on the IRC and asking about it, there's a good chance you'll be told they're not changing it, but IMO at least you can extract an answer from them rather than just wondering if they even read any of the feedback people send.

It ran the default instructions when you have not passed any arguments/flags, which just says you have to provide a url or use yt-dlp --help. Then windows closed the terminal because that's what windows does when you run a terminal executable from the explorer, it doesn't leave the terminal open without instructions to do so. As far as windows was concerned, the process ended.

You do not have a virus.

Anon think about it rationally. The CLI it opened for a split second was exactly the same thing as you opening a CLI yourself, typing in "yt-dlp.exe" with nothing else, watching it do nothing and exit, and closing the CLI.
If you're worried about the file and want to scan it for viruses, then that's fine but you should then be equally worried about running it normally. If you wouldn't have become paranoid had you not double-clicked it, then there is zero reason to be paranoid now. If you are paranoid it has a virus, then you should've been equally paranoid about opening a cmd and executing it manually. Makes sense?
For the record if you downloaded it off of the official github releases (and your PC isn't already uber infected somehow to the point of showing you fake websites in the browser, which let's assume it's not), then it's clean and you don't need to worry. But my point is it makes zero technical sense to start panicking when double-clicking it when you wouldn't have cared about running it manually. A terminal opening for a split-second is not somehow inherently bad, it can be suspicious because it can be a sign of some program you don't know running some CLI executable for some reason, but in this case YOU ran it and you know exactly what program ran.

Go open cmd, run yt-dlp without options and see what it does (namely nothing). That's exactly what double-clicking did. Hopefully that calms you down.

There's two reasons. First one is that moore's law is dead. For decades all processing chips would get exponentially more powerful all the time, but now we've hit diminishing returns in every possible way we can scale chips - transistor count, clock speeds, and even core counts are not helping performance scale up explosively anymore (because extreme parallelisation is hard for most software). GPUs are still getting somewhat optimised for now though.

And the second reason is that baseline budget performance got good enough for basically all day-to-day tasks, including even the heavy extremely-scripted modern web which used to be a bottleneck on low-budget computers for a while. Now even a cheap system can basically do anything you need "normally", and the only things that benefit from extra performance are specialised tasks that will always max out your processing power and use it to run faster no matter how fast computers get - such as compilation, rendering, scientific/simulation computation, and playing games. For anything that's not a task like this, speed improvements basically don't matter anymore because even the cheapest budget systems can handle them just fine.

Oh and reason 2.5 is that for games in particular, we also hit something close to a plateau in system requirements until UE5, which is a brute force engine that just forces your GPU to render insanely expensive scenes all the time. So if you're playing UE5 games, then even a 5090 will struggle and force you to use upscaling/framegen and shit, but if you're not, then a 2019 build can probably play everything else perfectly fine.

Meh, seller warranty seems like it'll be way more trouble than it's worth, unless it's an ebay storefront for some well-know refurbished parts business or something.
If it were me I'd treat them as out-of-warranty drives, which is not necessarily wrong to buy as long as a) the price-per-TB is adequately cheaper than you'd have to pay for an in-warranty one, and b) your storage solution has adequate redundancy and backups so that a drive failure is just an inconvenience rather than catastrophic. And you should have b) anyway even if you're only using new high-quality drives. So it mostly comes down to cost.

I got this amplifier (SMSL A100) to power my Edifiers for my desktop, however the firmware seems to have an annoying bug:

When using it as a USB DAC, pressing mute on my keyboard or turning Windows volume down to 0% will actually toggle the "mute" function on the amplifier itself. This would be fine, but unmuting windows doesn't unmute the amp. I have to physically press the mute button on the amp itself to unmute it.

I'm not very familiar with how USB audio works with windows. Is there any way of preventing Windows from sending a "mute" signal to the amp when the sound is at 0%?

Not the answer you're looking for but the general recommendation is to leave digital volume at 100% and use your amplifier for analog volume control. Is it feasible for you to use it that way?

Not really. For things that can be parallelised, multicore is good. A lot of the most demanding computations are in fact massively parallelisable, e.g. most compilers can operate in parallel (at the bare minimum across different compilation units, many are inherently parallelised too), most scientific computation is parallelisable. Games are just about the only thing that's hard to parallelise and nowadays they're apparently getting even those to work better across many cores.
There's also a hard limit to how big and fast you can make a single core. Intel for example is still making i3 gaming processors which have minimal core counts and focus entirely on the performance of each individual core, and it's not like those were significantly better than the processors that also added more cores nearby, they were mostly just cheaper without the extra cores.
>some new cpus actually have lower clock for battery life, thermodynamics etc.
Yeah that's if you're limited by battery or temps, especially in laptops. Nothing to do with core counts. In fact usually a couple of efficient cores running in parallel tends to be better than one single powerful core trying to do everything at once.

>You can run far bigger scripts that the websites
I have no idea what you mean in this context
>browser are simply poorly written
Browsers are mostly fine, webpages are very poorly written though (the absolute best script runtime can't do anything when the scripts are hot garbage and do 50x more work than they need to). But like I said by now even budget processors cope fine with even the biggest and worst websites so while this was a problem for a while during the 2010s, by now it's practically no longer an issue. There's a limit to just how big and bloated you can make a website, and we've reached it a while ago, and now CPUs have caught up.

But I'm not sure if it's worth it and more to the point,which drive to buy. A seagate Ironwolf 7200rpm is around Β£220, a WD Red Plus 5400rpm is Β£210. Noise is important but I have no idea how loud a 7200 actually gets.

Bullshit. Most software doesn't use SIMD, either because it doesn't need it, or because it's pre-compiled (especially closed-source software) for maximum compatibility. Most desktop software sees absolutely minimal speedups from SIMD, it's mostly useful for specific tasks, if you're not doing big parallelisable computations it won't matter.
What "other abstractions" are you fucking talking about?

>Browser are a mess, that you can run them will not change that fact.
Browsers are mostly a mess because web standards are a mess. When you have 2000 page standards that you have to implement perfectly else web pages will break and people will complain, and you need to both support ancient hacky shit people wrote pre-standardisation while at the same time pushing bullshit new arcane standards because the web must be more and more complex... Then browsers have no choice but to become a huge mess.
You simply cannot render the modern web in a "simple" way.

Anyway the entire discussion was about performance of modern computers so the fact that you can run browsers well is extremely relevant to this fact.

Been watching audiophile related content lately. One thing I noticed is that, in general, lower impedance speakers are harder to drive while higher impedance headphones are harder to drive. Why is this? Nearest I could figure is that speaker amps operate at fixed current, P=V^2/R, so lower impedance requires higher voltage to maintain a given output. Meanwhile, headphones operate at fixed voltage, P=I^2*R, so higher impedance requires higher current to maintain a given output. But this doesn't seem right to me for some reason. What gives?

Question for feds
everyone knows you're here stop bullshitting we all read the ragebait news about that old gay florida cop

I downloaded a product on amazon that has usb-c charging and when opening it in file explorer it a .exe in all chinese that translates to "ntp time synchronization" yeah right 33mb for ntp is bullshit. It showed up as malware with 6 vendors on virustotal. Is there anyone I can tell about malware? Like is it simply an unprosecuteable crime if you don't hire someone? Like I'm just going to run clamav on a stick and delete it but I'm genuinely curious who law enforcement actually decides to help with cyberattacks because it was a popular listing on amazon lol

It's prosecuteable if you can identify and obtain the person you need to prosecute. It's almost certainly some chink, good luck bringing a case all the way over there. That's the thing with internet crimes, same for piracy by the way - anyone can go commit a crime in any country across the globe, and then it's a crapshoot whether that country can get back at you. Also you can use proxies (and VPNs and whatever) to pretend to be from any other country making things even muddier.
BUT, if you do get found and the country in question can in fact prosecute you, then there's a non-zero chance that it will, depending on how serious the crime is. The other issue is that prosecutor budgets aren't infinite, and that's why for example every single domestic pirate doesn't always get prosecuted. Malware is usually probably only prosecuted if it's either extremely easy to do so (e.g. a complete idiot self-incriminates in a really public way, including unfortunate shit like trying to grey-hat pentest a company, report a vulnerability thinking you're hot shit, and they go and report you to the police because they hadn't authorised it), or if it causes real tangible damage that motivates law enforcement to get involved.

In your case the most you can probably hope for is to report it to amazon and get the listing taken down. And maybe the seller banned, but if it's a chink storefront they'll just create a new one the same afternoon and set up shop again.

The windows thread is probably what you need >>105940279, but basically:

>What will happen?
Assuming you use Rufus to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive and disable compatibility checks, nothing will happen. Microsoft has warned users with compatibility issues and lack of Windows updates for unsupported hardware, but so far these have been empty threats. It's basically no different to using support hardware.

>What happens if I stay on Windows 10?
For a while (probably years), nothing will happen. Eventually new versions of software/hardware/drivers will stop supporting Windows 10, so you won't be able to update or upgrade them. There's also the risk that a security breach in Windows 10 will be found and exploited, and Microsoft won't fix it, leaving you exposed to malware and identity theft. If you want security updates for Windows 10 beyond October 2025, you may want to consider upgrading to an LTSC version (again, check out the Windows thread above), but that won't resolve software and hardware no longer supporting it.

How long ago did you last try and which one(s) were you trying? I personally use claude code daily and it's pretty good. It's by no means perfect and you obviously can't just tell it to "go write the whole feature" and expect it to come out correct and bug-free on the first try, but it's great for implementing smaller things automatically while you focus on the bigger picture, it can often one-shot even complex algorithmic problems that are self-contained enough, and it usually remembers things pretty accurately about libraries, packages and flags (not 100% of the time, but consistently enough that I usually just assume it's fine until I try it and it doesn't work).

You can test it with this specific question.

Very possible. They might also get shitty results not as part of a conspiracy but just because they're running shitty cheap models since you're not paying for them.
Here's claude code's answer:
What's the turbo speed on all cores for i5-6500t intel CPU

● I'll help you find the turbo speed information for the Intel Core i5-6500T CPU.

● Web Search("Intel Core i5-6500T turbo boost speed all cores specifications")
Did 1 search in 16s

● The Intel Core i5-6500T has a maximum turbo frequency of 3.10 GHz, but this is the single-core turbo speed. Intel doesn't publish specific all-core turbo frequencies for this model. When all 4 cores are active, the turbo speed will be lower than 3.10 GHz, likely around 2.8-2.9 GHz depending on thermal and power conditions.

No because there's no way I could find this out without owning one myself, so you can't expect the AI to guess correctly either. I'm by no means an AI absolutist or anything, it's plenty imperfect, but you can't expect it to magically guess the results of practical experiments it can't run if the information isn't already out there somewhere.

Also it said the boost would depend on thermal and power conditions. Is 2.7 a hard limit that's documented anywhere? Or is your specific machine just set up in a way that hits some throttling limit, and another machine might reach 2.8 or 2.9 in another context? Modern CPU boosting is super fucking unpredictable, granted the i5-6500 is old enough that it might not be too schizo, but that's why I really wanna hear a source.

You can find it in intel datasheet somewhere.
I remember going to an archive page to get it, that and the thermal junction temp as well.
>boost would depend on thermal and power conditions
This is a vague "non answer" IMO.
2.7 is hard limit on all cores, while single core is hard 3.1
And as you can see from the temps I'm not hitting thermal throttling.
AI says the thermal throttle point is 70-72, but from my testing it never got that hot, and usually around 62 while at max frequency.
This page
https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i5/i5-6500t
Show the thermal throttle point is at 100, and though it shows that 4 cores turbo to 2.8 my testing turbo to 2.7, and in according with the number of cores being stressed
>1 core ~3.1
>2 cores ~3
>3 cores ~2.8
>4 cores ~2.7
I tested several distros, and messed around with intel pstate as well.
Even checked BIOS settings to see if there's anything like CPU power limiting.
But this is what I got.
It's not just this exact model that AI can't answe correctly.
I tested other CPUs I have to check facts and it got it wrong few times.

But it makes sense to me that the AI doesn't know every possible obscure factoid. It doesn't always get even documented features of libraries 100% right. But it's a lot easier when using it for programming because if it invents something, it just won't compile, so the rare cases it does happen are really not a dealbreaker. And most programming libraries are much better documented than "some datasheet somewhere" that neither of us are able to dig up even when searching right now, so it really doesn't happen all that often.

No, it doesn't and it shouldn't.
But at least it should be able to pull source data from search engines.
Not making up facts, which is something it like to do frequently especially when trying to do something easy.

For example I asked it to make a script to update yt-dlp once each week, and it kept trying to force yt-dlp -U, despite telling it repeatedly that I installed it from pipx.
And it went on trying to make a python script to install yt-dlp in venv.
>most programming libraries are much better documented
that would be good if it actually used it.
I tried even asking it to digest mpv manual before giving answers and it kept giving fake arguments.
I tried asking it to make something in C it while it did work, anything more complex and it would fuck it up.
The thing it consistently mess it up, is asking medical advice regarding /fit/ advice and asking for source
what's ACL rehabe protocol in details, and use pubmed sources
It gave me complete fake pub med pages.

That may be it actually. Now that I think back to it, first time I tried using an AI agent for programming I'd try to give it tasks and watch it work, it would make some mistakes, the end result wouldn't work, and I'd end up disappointed. Then I figured out the happy medium of how much to just let the AI write and how often to poke it to steer it in the right direction and now I find it really useful, not to finish entire tasks for me, but as an intelligent but somewhat naive code monkey that I can tell to write specific bits of code and it'll do them automatically, or discuss specific designs and then see if it comes up with any bright ideas and double-check myself (but without necessarily expecting that it always will).

Here's an example of claude giving me an ld command that would have taken me ages to figure out myself: >>105998026
And yes it worked, though I wasn't sure it would when I tried. The good thing is, again, with code you can always just try it and verify that it works. That's the issue with "vibe-coding" too: you can't just let the AI write all the code, write the tests, and check if it works all on its own. You're the one responsible for reading what it wrote and deciding whether it's correct or not.
I also don't really use it as a search engine very often at all, for similar reasons. I'm not surprised about the fake sources thing, it's a well known problem. Thing is paid models usually have "research modes" where they actually do web searches and summarise what they find, rather than trying to invent sources out of thin air; those tend to work better (though I've found them underwhelming in terms of actual info summarisation, I'd rather just look things up myself).

Smart supports heavy/in-depth testing.
There's also no good way of making sure a drive is "up to standard". All you can check is that it's currently free of errors or failures, and a deep smart scan (or other kinds of deep testing) will carefully test every sector to make sure it's free of errors right now (while a light smart scan will mostly tell you whether the firmware ever noticed any errors during previous operation). The drive might randomly fail next week and there's no good way to predict that.
At best by doing a deep test you will be writing to it for a few hours so if the drive is literally on death's door it might fall apart during the test rather than after you install it. If that's what you're concerned with then fair enough.

CS is not so much a meme degree as it's a meme field right now. If you want to be a programmer, the job market is awful for new graduates. The exact subject name on your degree doesn't change that. By choosing a non-CS degree you would ideally open yourself to non-programming jobs, but "CE" does not seem different enough to really give you a lot of options.

>All you can check is that it's currently free of errors or failures, and a deep smart scan (or other kinds of deep testing) will carefully test every sector to make sure it's free

That's what I want to check yeah. It's just a case of because I got it from eBay I want to be sure it's not been in use and then sold as new or anything like that.
What tools would you suggest for deep testing? I ran crystaldiskinfo which did a basic smart test but I had no idea how to do a deeper one to check it all out and get more info.

Also would it be a bad idea to run two at once at all? Not sure if it's resource intensive or can cause issues. I know it can take 24 hours+ because I had one going for 16+ and then the drive disconnected for another reason

The smart stats will tell you things like number of hours powered on. I imagine it's probably possible to doctor these but I also imagine it's probably not very easy, and importantly if someone's been editing smart values on your disk you probably can't trust much from the firmware anyway.
Deep testing is a standard smart command. On linux you just use smartmontools to kick it off; I'm not sure about windows, sorry.
>Also would it be a bad idea to run two at once at all?
I think this will heavily depend on your dock's quality. If I were in your position I'd have just chucked them into the NAS (I'm assuming you have free slots for them) and ran the tests I wanted before formatting and mounting them, rather than relying on a dock.
If you do run both at once then probably the worst that can happen is that it either becomes really slow or maybe they disconnect or something. If so you can always try again doing it one by one.

You could probably run badblocks (*nix) but that is more intensive and supposedly CAN take a week or something
And SMART tests don't really use USB bandwidth (not that you are likely going to be starved)
Probably the only proof positive way to verify drives is to write checksummed data to the drive (min. few gb files with sha1 or 256 whole file checksums should be good) then read it later
If it has bad blocks you will find it has them and quickly

Thanks for the response. I'm on my last year of it and yeah so far my courses have felt somewhat unrelated to each other in terms of specialization paths. I've had courses relating to FPGA development and RTOS and looking at the jobs relevant to those skills it seems like I have two options.
ASIC hardware development also seems pretty interesting and I imagine I'd be able to pivot from FPGAs to ASIC if I want to go down that route. If I focus more on things relevant to RTOS concepts it seems like I'd be focusing on embedded firmware which sounds a lot cooler.
In all honesty, I don't know which to pick. What sort of questions should I ask myself? I'm also quite unfamiliar with the job market for these roles.

I noticed catalog thumbnails behaved differently after 4chan came back from the hack. They seem to only load when you scroll to them - if you loaded the catalog page, left it open for a while, and a thread gets deleted, the image remains blank when you scroll to it and it tries to load.
So maybe how the catalog is handled changed moreso than the thread thumbnails. But my eyes are kind of going so I don't know if thread thumbnails are also kind of blurry now and I never noticed.

That sounds kinda cool actually.
>What sort of questions should I ask myself?
This is gonna sound extremely generic but you need to answer a) is any of that stuff you'll find enjoyable to work on for 40 hours a week for at least a few years (if not a few decades), and b) what are the career options - what's the pay like when you get to the "good" positions with a bit of experience and how hard is it to gain said experience and land a good position?

For the latter, really the best thing is if you have any job fairs at your uni, try to find companies related to this stuff and talk to the guys there. Ask them about their work and about their career - what are the opportunities for a new graduate, what are the career prospects, how did the person you're talking to get to where they are now and where do they realistically expect to go from here, and how do they view the current job prospects for a hypothetical graduate now.
If you don't have job fairs or if they're shit and there are no relevant employers, try to find some external events to attend if at all possible. You really want to talk to people in the field to get a good idea of what the job market and career prospects are like at the current point in time. If all else fails you can hunt around for specialised forums on this, or ask in subreddits or whatever.

As for the first question, only you can answer that but maybe try out some projects vaguely related to it. If you do end up finding someone in the field to talk to, you can also ask about what they do in their day to day and what they would recommend you could try to dip your toes into the field. For embedded, I'd say something like arduino programming, but I don't really know if that's at all relevant for professional RTOS. For FPGA and ASIC design, you can buy cheapo FPGA dev boards, install the tooling and play around with that.

Also, NTA but over here in bongland an MSc is a standard thing plenty of people do that only takes an extra year after a BSc, but is usually a lot more interesting and in-depth. A BSc is considered kind of like the bare minimum degree to get a piece of paper, while an MSc is a "real" degree and the best you can get short of a doctorate (which is still quite a niche thing to do relatively speaking).
Over here it's also a standard prerequisite before even applying for a PhD though, I know in america that's different, so I'm not sure how all this stacks up if you're in burgerland.

A PhD will usually pay you though, since it's technically a form of employment. A pitiful wage but it's better than you having to pay for it. If you can get a job in industry you will usually make way more money, but if your job prospects are mediocre AND you're enjoying the subject, then a PhD doesn't necessarily have to put you further into debt. IF you get accepted into one, obviously.

I was told here Seagate Ironwolf drives have been modified in this way, and wouldn't you know it I got an Ironwolf drive. I don't know about there but over here ebay is flooded with them from sellers claiming they're new when they're asolutely not and were used in Chia farmining


>ran the tests I wanted before formatting and mounting them, rather than relying on a dock.
I've never actually had a NAS before so I didn't know if this was possible or how. It's a Ugreen NAS, the programs to test are Windows programs afaik. WD Have Kitfox which I was running, for Seagate I've seen smartmon tools but never ran it. I know you say it's on Linux, I was under the impression it was a GUI program on Windows.

I'm not sure those can be run from the NAS, idk. My dock is an SSK one. If slowing is the worst that can happen then it should probably be OK i guess. just a pain leaving it on for 24+hours.

I just want to check the drives properly basically before I rely on them. One for data safety but also to know if I've been had with a used drive

I don't really know if any test can show that, if the metrics have been reset to look like new and if it doesn't have any faults RIGHT NOW then you won't know I think. It could be primed to break apart into pieces within a month, and still pass your test today.

Awk is good for short scripts. But considering you need to handle shit like quoted strings it'll probably quickly get way too complex.
Perl can do anything and it'll do it in a one-liner too if you want it to.

But really you should just write a script in python or something, if your data is this shitty. Get yourself a csv library and make sure it handles all the escapes you need.

Right. I used Kitfox for WD since it's their own tool and I thought it might be better. I wondered if Seagate had similar but most places pointed to smartmon.
But as you said, it might actually be better to put it in my NAS and run the scans there, I'm just not sure how it would work or how to do it. It makes a hell of a lot more sense at least but idk.
I think I read articles that smartmon can actually show the actual power hours even when they've been reset like that. It's just a check for bad sectors and power on hours I wanted to do.
I'm less fussed about my WD but just think it might be a good idea to test both hard drives just so I know.

You have to tell it what to do because it is not the OS's job to determine when to format (should be a disk utility for that)
Might not be bad to do BTRFS RAID1 (or ZFS if able) if you want to do this (BTRFS does the RAID, kinda like ZFS)(ZFS does allow you to use drives (SSDs) as journals (ZIL) and read caching(L2ARC)


Word of warning though, I would do a NAS as a separate (even if cheap) computer as NAS OSs are probably lacking for traditional desktop stuff

Always put encrypted shit in cloud storage. Use something like restic.
Never rely on cloud storage 100%. It's good for a backup, but if your account gets terminated suddenly out of the blue you should always have at least one full copy of local data and be ready to re-backup somewhere else ASAP.

Ideally you want three copies of your data (the so-called 3-2-1 strategy) but if that's too much work, two copies of data is infinitely better than one. And cloud is perfectly fine for that, as long as you encrypt your shit, and as long as you don't fall to the temptation of "oh it's saved in the cloud anyway let me delete some of it to make more space on my computer".

Pretty sure I fucked up, hoping I can salvage without having to throw more money down the drain.
Doing a electronics project that necessitated an assload of radiometric hall effect sensors and a microcontroller to read 'em. Bought a Teensy 4.0 (https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy40.html) and >30 A1302 hall effect sensors (https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Allegro%20PDFs/A1301,02.pdf). The problem is the operating range of these hall effect sensors is 4.5v to 6v, so they're made strictly with 5v logic in mind, but the Teensy is strictly 3.3v and explicitly does not do 5v on its pins.

The only way to fix this seems to just eat the >$30 (Bought more for a future project as well, so that number is closer to $50) and buy a different set of radiometric hall effect sensors, but it seems like a utter waste of about $50 to have a bunch of sensors I can't do shit with.
Is there any way electrically I could make this work, maybe with some resistors or some shit without just burning more money?

It depends on each individual one. For example reddit doesn't even let you read any pages, unless you sign in to an account. At the same time I haven't heard of accounts being unable to post on reddit - so I assume once you do sign in, you should be able to post too (I've never tested).

In general sites and games which normally require an account will probably be mostly fine with VPN IPs because if anything goes wrong, they can ban your account. 4chan is a bit unique since it's anonymous, so there's basically no way to distinguish between users on the same IP - so if VPN IPs could post, anyone who gets banned could just hop on a VPN and keep spamming or whatever. Then the jannies would have to ban the VPN IP for spam regardless of who else is on the same VPN, and that's how you get to the situation today. A pass is just the only account-like identification 4chan has.
