I use syncthing for backups including some phone files, but I’m not sure this would be good.
Syncthing devs clearly don’t want this app used as a sync-and-archive tool so all phones would have all copies and any phone can permanently delete any file. I wouldn’t trust that.
(Yes, there is a roundabout way, I do it too, but it is prone to errors and sync issues)
I second immich and backup. immich can archive as you want, and Syncthing can make backups of files.
Sweet! My first computer was a 333mhz PowerPC Mac! Still have that behemoth. Man, I learned video editing and 3d modelind on that thing and totally changed my career path.
Now 25 years later it’s decendant (roughly?) is a SoC running a wireless hub!
Yeah, depth of field is all over the map. It doesn’t make sense. Text in focus behind the truck, but not the SUV, even though it’s further away.
My vote is a composite. Several images merged together.
EDIT: oh yeah. Tree is a seam. Bush behind the truck bed is 2 colors and focuses. And the trucks back bumper… bad masking.
Tilt shift generally makes things look miniature like a model.
Price is definitely important, but so is traction. If stopping distance increases because eco materials grip less, that would be a concern.
My criteria are performance results, wear rating, and price.
Can confirm. Neighbors house had an attic fire with knob & tube wiring.
… Just like the stuff still in my place today. Eek! Landlord won’t upgrade unless there is a problem. In my house, the breakers are all 20amp and that’s a lot to run on, best guess, 70 year old wires.
Oh, and do not assume anything is wired as expected. Test after. I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.
A cheaper solution is to take a copper wire and connect the ground screw of the socket to a water pipe. It does the job and is better than nothing.
Preschool was on a hill next to a cemetery. (Really creepy now that I think about it) Elementary was next to orchards, middle school by a post office and community center, high school had more traffic nearby but still never a distraction.
I don’t live there anymore, more big city vibes, but it’s all background sound.
Of sounds that stand out right now, we have airplanes and sirens as the distractions. Car noise is insignificant.
Swing and a miss. No biggie.
Grew up off the beaten path with redwoods and a creek in the backyard.
As a seasoned sound engineer, yes.
But the scale is logarithmic so take “half of Barcelona’s population is exposed to noise levels of 65db”, subtract 3.5 from the chart above, and you get…
A conversation.
I did take precautions when I worked with a rock band monitoring the house. 25k watts can make a lot of sound pressure and 3db, along with exposure limits, were very important to keep an eye on.
Ahhh man, you guys are going to make me take a few hours to shred this article. Alrighty. cracks knuckles
This article uses 3 definitions of noise:
[formatting bug fix]
First of all, the link to “hurt children’s brains” as mentioned in the title is hyperbole; they are talking about distraction in the majority of the article. Yes, noise distracting. How much noise?
The World Health Organization recommends noise levels do not exceed 35 decibels in classrooms.
record scratch
35db?
Yeah, so basically everything. A distinguished fart for example.
Noise-induced hearing loss occurs after prolonged exposure to high levels of noise, exceeding 85 decibels.
The exposure time for hearing loss at 85db is 8 hours. That is a lot of continuous noise. I don’t record 85db INSIDE my old rickety car, let alone a classroom in residential zone 200’ away.
I think there is a dangerous disconnect between what this article calls cognitive harm and distraction. They are not interchangeable. It would make sense distracted children score lower on tests than non-distracted peers, but I wouldn’t call that harm. As someone with ADD, I take great offense in likening the two. In fact, if this article were rewritten as “traffic noise distraction for students” it would be MUCH more believable.
children between 5-11 years of age are especially vulnerable to noise if they have lower selective attention – meaning, the ability to maintain focus and block out unwanted distraction.
I was diagnosed when I kept looking at a air vent every time the building’s heater fan kicked in. Traffic was never a problem. Why? Because traffic sound becomes white noise. White noise actually helped me and many in my position focus. What did stand out were what the article calls “sudden fluctuations”
The researchers found that sudden fluctuations of noise […] were more likely to distract children, and cause them to miss important information, even at a lower than average noise level.
Congrats! You discovered ADD!
This article is filled with so many qualifiers “may”, “could”, “suggests”, “potentially” to vaguely link real science to assumptions. They want a connection that doesn’t exist; these words obfuscate libel. Ignore anything with any of these for it’s junk.
the Transit Authority installed rubber pads on the tracks to reduce noise, and the Board of Education equipped classrooms with sound-absorbing materials to create a better learning environment.
Sounds like these worked. The sound absorbing is probably a great way to go. Double pane windows help a ton too. Try noise canceling headphones as well!
noise exposure has also been associated with a greater diabetes risk
I actually found this sort of interesting and would like to know more about it, particularly a % increase, but it was paywalled. It could be minuscule for all I know.
The creation of the San Antoni superblock has lowered average daytime noise levels by 3.5 decibels
See decibel graphic above. Commence slow clap and thumbs up on their cough significance.
Haha! That is adorable!
I use kimai.
It’s grown over the past few years and lots of bugs squished. Could use a little developer help regarding custom invoice templates, but I like the direction it’s headed.
There is a convenient app that works pretty well. I think it’s a couple bucks now, but nothing outrageous.
Why not dockerize Foundry and run all on the Synology?
Though I did convert my home assistant docker to HAOS on a Pi for extra features way back in the day. Not sure you have to now.
Kif! We have a conundrum!
Shhh! Nobody tell them about “inside out.”
Oh nice! I knew hot swapping was supported on many other devices but not PCIe itself. Feels wrong to rip a card out while the system is powered up.
Nope. I actually did that unintentionally on a PC I built. I only used one power wire when the GPU needed 2 so it couldn’t use all the power it needed when running 100%. My understanding was PCI doesn’t support disconnecting devices so the system expects all components it starts up with to be available all the time. Lose one and the system goes down.
Sorry I couldn’t reply right away, I hit a grocery store and hardware store for work tomorrow.
It was 6.5 miles, took 20 minutes, had bike lanes continuously with half being protected to a grocery store like you want. And no, the supplies I need don’t fit on a bike.
Not a single bike on this warm night perfect for a ride. Anywhere.
All I hear is bikers want want want. Well my city has it, and has for almost a decade.
Complaining is easy, it’s time to use the infrastructure bikers confiscated (yes, bike lanes here are at the expense of what were vehicle lanes) and get out there. Show us there is utilization that follows all this vocal demand.
Maybe at 3am, but no, my routes during the day take me on roads with other cars doing grownup stuff. Bike utilization is a drop in the bucket.
Get out there and show us you use the infrastructure built for your peace of mind.
In my city the transportation infrastructure decisions are made by a car hate group. We have 400 miles of bike lanes and polling shows 3% of the population use. Bike infrastructure isn’t installed for bikers, rather bikers are the excuse to obstruct and restrict vehicle traffic. As long as they use the word “safety”, they get away with really dumb stuff.
I wouldn’t have nearly the problem I do if bikes USED the lanes, but I guarantee I can go out right now and not see a single bike. They are entirely vacant.
To add insult, the bike I’ve seen at a newly converted intersection with dedicated lanes, bike turn box, and no right on red sign didn’t give a rats ass about anyone or any rules, drove on the wrong side, ran a red and drive into active traffic; all the cars stopping for this moron. There is no shared responsibility and no enforcement of rules. That is my liability the biking idiot was messing with. Yes, he’d be at fault if he was hit, but the city stistics would mark that as dangerous intersection and crack down on cars harder.
So yes, I see this as a war. In my city, we coexisted before, but it wasn’t a problem until this turned this into a mine vs yours situation. The passion driving fuckcars communities to take over is matched with my passion to retain functionality. You are the invading force in this war, we are playing defence. I see paths of scorched earth like scars; barren and void of purpose for which it was designated.
There is compromise, yes and I agree some can be made, in return, I want to see utilization, coexistence, and shared respect for the rules.
I see $150 million a year wasted for a incredibly small but disproportionately vocal group of radicalized individuals to actively make things suck and in their wake, after the construction, abandoned by those for whom it was built.
It’s changing settings to only allow one way sync and disable deletion. The sync folder basically becomes an automatic archive destination.
They are soooo close to having this cool tool, but many feature requests have been shot down because it’s not a true sync. I get it, but it sucks too.
