Stand up a little VM with an install of Debian 9.

Don't mess with your main system, don't worry about flatpaks, and you can just get rid of it if you're done with it.

To add to this, virtually all GPUs out there with DP are DP++ and will not require an active adapter.

Consumers will almost never need to consider an active adapter for DP to HDMI, as well as single link DVI. HDMI to DP will always require an active (powered) adapter. As would DP to dual link DVI, VGA, or component.

Their scheme hatchery department is top notch, I'm sure they are already working on more

Iirc, there is a bill up that would change that. Which, surprisingly, has bipartisan support.

Edit: yup, even maga support. Mike Lee thanks AOC for bringing up the issue, and here's the bill.

It looks like the best regulations currently for UVA and UVB would be the EU.

One thing to look out for with the imported stuff is that it's not a counterfeit product. There are a lot of reports about that, including a lot of dermatologists testing them live on video and showing some counterfeits being less than 1% of the claimed effectiveness.

Keep safe in the sun folks!

I am shocked there is someone besides me who still enjoys the wordy C.

Pascal was the first real language I learned (after basic)

Just run windows in a VM for when you absolutely need it. It's how I can do my job but not be constantly barraged with ads in a start menu.

I used to bike daily for my commute (to the bus), so I wanted something decent for both clipless and regular shoes. That lead me to Shimano Click'R, which seems to still be available (but only one model left, T421) which does still have reflectors on it. May be worth a look.

SPD, still on my bike today. Whether I keep my bike or go to something new I will personally be keeping those pedals as long as I can.

I'm glad my wife doesn't mind the 5 bay. Or the 8 bay I added to become the new main NAS and the other a backup.

..... Or the 4RU case stacked with drives.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Because that would be a 40 minute drive. And there is a BJs... About 1/4 mi away from the Costco.

No, there aren't bulk stores near me.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, if you had the storage I'd say use an Ethernet dongle on the phone, wire up Ethernet on the laptop (as long as it's not a USB 2 dongle that you'd need :) ), transfer over network that way and give yourself some easier transport than wifi....

But in your case, yeah wifi is the right call.

My workflow for reference, I've got a dock that supports 3.2gen2, so I connect my phone up there. I've got 1 gig on the dock, and I copy over to my NAS (4x1gbit in LAG), and with the dock having USB for mice/keyboard use it's easy peasy. Once backed up, new phone to the dock, and go the other way.

Most files are already backed up though, with the NAS and my self hosted services, so it's mostly a single instances backup and not much to copy back.

Got it, checking their list of compatible apps...

Worst case you could connect to Strava as a go-between should polar be far behind on health connect (again, doubt they would be).

But checking the coospo compatibility, it seems there are a ton of them that all support health connect with coospo, so you wouldn't be shut out even if health connect wasn't ready for Polar, you'll have a ton of options. Including using polar to sync to something that syncs via health connect.

Which is kind of what I do btw, aside from the app for the completely irregular use case I mentioned, I sync polar to Strava, Strava to Fit via health connect. I do that because fairly often I am using polar while cycling, so that's how I want my data to go. But I then found strength training shares nicely too, and running polar beat and my workout app, I can track all my workout routine items (jefit), which syncs via health connect, and then polar goes to Strava goes to health connect, and it all shows as a single session with great HR data.

So yeah, you'll be fine.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Will try and do again later, yeah
