What are ya, a shill for the toy synthesizer companies?!?! They just want to take jobs away from us hard working tuba players!!n

We’re probably thinking about very different work environments.

Redundancy is more about not having a single point of failure. If you have a need for a redundant system, having a single point of failure in the KVM means you no longer have cc a redundant system.

For me, I find it simpler having a dedicated keyboard and mouse per computer, mainly to avoid the mad wiggle of the mouse to find the cursor, and then wiggle again because you found the cursor but it’s not moving, has it crashed? Oh that’s right, I’m using a KVM, and I’m controlling the computer that’s over there. With dedicated keyboard and mouse, it’s always obvious which machine I’ll be controlling. And yeah, I meant slower to switch. You need to move your hand off the keyboard to press the button, then move your hands back, usually having a slightly awkward pause when it takes a moment to register the switch. With dedicated keyboards, you move your hands once, done.

And I can think of plenty of scenarios where you want to do an action at the same time on two machines. Want to compare two copies of a document across the two machines? Left hand on page down for one machine, right on the other. Trying to test a bug that mucks up the timing of a jump in a game on one system but not the other? Spacebar at the same time. Going through the same install process simultaneously on 4 machines? It either takes four key presses on different keyboards to select an option, or four key presses and four KVM button presses.

For a lot of stuff, KVM is the way to go, especially if you tend to just do a bunch of stuff on one machine, then do a bunch of stuff on another. For a lot of situations though, such as if you’re having to only do occasional stuff, or doing lots of small things on different machines, it’s not the way to go.

I did not expect to be writing such a detailed essay on such a trivial thing today, so thanks for coming to my TED talk!

That’s on me for not reading. Thanks. I gotta learn that pre coffee commenting should be double checked.

I sometimes have to get involved with writing safety protocols. Not my favourite task, but I’ve always been super nervous about using AI to assist because it’s such a specific, rigid and important thing, that needs to be expressed as simply as possible, all of which AI is bad at. Care to share how you use it?

There’s plenty of good reasons. Redundancy, simplicity, speed, physical context switching…

When goslings grow their adult feathers, leaving their baby down behind, people disguised as rocks very slowly approach the nest, picking individual fluffs of down one by one, while making soothing noises.

Good to know they are going after the nuclear program. /s

All I know is that the US building a secret submarine base at Pine Gap in Alice Springs was a genius move.

This might be a time when an ignorant point of view helps, like mine. I don’t know anything about Wayland- Is it like Zululand but where the Way tribe lives? Anyway, my naive assumption is OP was wondering if you can run it on a server that does not have a display plugged in.

I think avoiding containers is the way I’m going to go on my next attempt. I’ll still have to put it in an lxc or a VM on my proxmox, but all in one will hopefully reduce some problems. The sonarr/radarr split was what I was referring to with the above or below an hour comment.

Excuse me, am I in the right place? I’m looking for somewhere to rant about toasters that beep, and toasters with a motorised lift system.

I hate how fragmented they are. I’ve given up on various guides out there for ‘setting up the arr stack’ because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn’t even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.

I gave up on thinking about it (at least, DC) as flow, and started thinking about it as pressure. It’s a small mental flip that made a bunch of things easier. I’ve also heard people talk about it as the movement of holes where electrons are not.

I feel you, friend. Similar situation here, possibly reversed. If I’m grumpy, or mad, or just having a rough day, I have to be exceptionally careful in bringing that to my partner. They deal with a lot, so when I add anything to that pile, it often explodes. So the pattern is me saying ‘Here’s something I am upset about. Please can I have five minutes of your time to listen to me.’, then two days of me comforting my partner because they somehow contributed to this and they hate themselves for it.

God damnit, three replies in this thread, and one of them is someone who beat me to the one I was going to say! Well played.

My second favourite, then-

Do you know the heading cause of dry skin?

If you’re looking for a job, trying to get into the daily grind, then getting a job should be your daily grind. If you are looking to get an 8hr a day job, 8 hours of your day should be spent tweaking your resume for the next application, hunting for jobs, doing short courses, etc.

She did.

And when Trump visited, on the first day she wore a brooch gifted to her by the Obamas, on the second one given to her by a Canadian, on the third the brooch that she hadn’t worn since her father’s funeral.

I’m not a fan of the monarchy, but in her own way she was badass.

You forgot the bit where they hold up a second mirror and you nod awkwardly, mumbling something that’s not quite ‘yep, that’s the back of my head, yep, I agree, you have cut my hair, thank you for showing me the proof’

Thingiverse is great, but the real benefit of a 3d printer for me is the super-custom stuff. The gap between my kitchen sink and wall is pretty small, so I designed and printed a sponge caddy that sits in there perfectly, and drains into the sink. My sunnies didn’t fit into the holder in my car, so I designed and printed a little clip with a holder on it that fits in really nicely.

You could also just shoo them outside. I’d prefer to not have fly guts all over my hands, and I don’t really have the need to kill every fly I see.
