Iset it up a long while ago but haven’t updated in a long while either… not sure whether the tracking is still active on my phone. Thanks for this post, I’ll see whether there is an easy upgrade path to 1.0 without too many breaking changes 😄

What are these two plastic sheets one always sees when US presidents give speeches? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It’s bulletproof glass for the two small blind spots the Secret Service can’t cover. They tried different agent setups to cover all sides first, but eventually figured „ah, fuck it, let’s just put some bullet proof glass on these two angles and we’re fine.“ Also, they have a secondary use to project text for the president to read. But that only came up after Obama came up with idea. „Hey guys, why don’t you project the text I need to read somewhere in the wall, so I don’t have to use a stack of papers?“ - „but isn’t that too far away to read?“ - „ oh, yeah… hey, how about we use that bullet proof glass thingy and project it on there?“ - „seriously? Projecting onto glass? What did they put in your cereal this morning, sir?“

Ah, I remember him extracting that metal and forging a disc or ring of sorts, which then had to be taken to a volcano and thrown into. But man that movie was looooong…

Nah, his AI was just trained on the same dataset.

So how would you handle this? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Plot twist: OP installed the thing in their ground floor and didn’t measure correctly; now they at least want to cash in on the internet fame.

How to dry silica gel (feddit.org)
 

I have a questions I haven't found answered anywhere, but maybe someone here can help out.

First, some background:

I have bought this silica gel with indicator a while ago and have used it in my AMS and also for storing my filament in ziplock bags.

I now want to dry some of the silica gel, and have looked at the various options there are. I want to rule out the use of my kitchen appliances, as I am not fully convinced of the silica with indicator being really fully non-hazardous. I also recently bought a Creality Space Pi dryer, which I would like to use for drying my silica as well. Of course I would need to print a container for that, and since I only have PLA and PETG available at the moment, I wouldn't be able to drive the dryer too hot.

Online you can find many different opinions about the ideal drying temperature for silica gel, ranging from 60°C to 145°C.

Efficient energy usage is no big concern for me with this, as my PV modules produce a lot of excess power during the current season.

Question:

What temperature should I dry the silica gel at, and does a longer drying time at lower temperature equal the same results as a quicker drying at higher temperature?

Or does higher temperature actually remove more humidity overall, which a lower temperature can maybe not achieve regardless of time?

Why is Neuromancer so hard to get in to? (feddit.org)
 

I just started reading Neuromancer, and finished the first two chapters. Can someone encourage me to keep on reading? It’s just so… disorienting. Very quick scene changes, hard to follow dialogues (who is actually talking?), too much jargon (I have read up on some, to get the gist), … I just feel lost, and doubt I will enjoy it at some point.

I like various degrees of scifi, and many people recommended the book (and the ones following it). I also fought through some harder chapters in Trisolaris, Children of Memory, The Expanse books, CS Lewis‘ Space Trilogy, … but Neuromancer is on awholenother level.

Is it just me? Did anyone else have a hard time with it? Does it get better? Is it worth it?

ECC with N100 (e.g. Aoostar N1)? (feddit.org)
 

Has anyone tried to run their Aoostar N1 or similar N100 systems with ECC memory? I haven’t found any indication on whether this would work, but don’t want to buy and regret it.
