VTimofeenko··on Home Depot GitHub token exposed for a year, granted access to internal systems
The sorting briefly switches to reverse order there, so no contradiction.

Before. _E_ight vs _F_our.

I will not argue with the stock part. When the search _does_ finish, stock info is usually correct IME.

What grinds my gears is the speed of this search, regardless of the phone reception. Even on the desktop it feels like they have a bunch of interns running a sneakernet. Or the website is laden with pointless javascript that slows everything down before the search is actually performed.

I go to the same Home Depot every time. (Well I don't if I can help it, but that's beside the point). There is no reason they cannot store the preferred store in the localStorage or cookies or wherever else. Other stores have figured this out.

Given the absolute state of their website on mobile it's hardly surprising. It's faster to find an employee and ask them where an item is at instead of waiting for the search to finish, see that it the "current store" now points to a random location somewhere in a different state, pick the correct store and re-do the search
VTimofeenko··on YouTube caught making AI-edits to videos and adding misleading AI summaries
Well the current models that cost per output sure love wasting those tokens on telling me how I am the greatest human being ever that only asks questions which get to the very heart of $SUBJECT.

Can you expand on the applications you deployed kea in?
VTimofeenko··on Fallout 2's Chris Avellone describes his game design philosophy
IIRC it was supposed to be a sequel for 2006 one at some point, but some development and name rights shenanigans happened.

When it was developed as a sequel, the story was completely different.

Arcanum is an awesome game. Shame the OST was never released on vinyl.
VTimofeenko··on Fallout 2's Chris Avellone describes his game design philosophy
Worth qualifying as Prey (2017). Somewhat related[1] to Prey(2006) which is also a great game. Chris did not work on the 2006 one.

[1]: it's complicated.

VTimofeenko··on DIY NAS: 2026 Edition
Built a NAS last winter using the same case. Temps for HDDs used to be in mid-50s C with no fan and about 40 with the stock fan. The case-native backplane thingamajig does not provide any sort of pwm control if the fan is plugged in, so it's either full blast or nothing. I swapped the fan for a Thermalright TL-B12 and the HDDs are now happily chugging along at about 37 with the fan barely perceptible. Hddfancontrol ramps it up based on the output of smartctl.

Case can actually fit a low-profile discrete GPU, there's about half height worth of space.

VTimofeenko··on Show HN: F32 – An Extremely Small ESP32 Board
FWIW, there's a step by step soldering guide in the readme:

https://github.com/PegorK/f32#building-the-f32

It looks doable, but of course a lot of carefulling is required when placing the components.

VTimofeenko··on FreeMDU: Open-source Miele appliance diagnostic tools
Power supplies may fail in a cascading manner. Unless it's something like a fuse that was blown due to a known external event, one broken component can take out a couple of friends with it.

If you can get a new board for 40$, that's probably the best course of action.

VTimofeenko··on Valetudo: Cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation
There are IM groups where folks mail around breakout boards. There is, AFAIK, no point to the board after the inital rooting.

The brochure linked from TFA has a screenshot of a combination of segmentation and object recognition models which are fairly standard in NVRs. Quick skim of the vendor website seems to confirm this[1] and states a claim that they are not analyzing the gait.

VTimofeenko··on Astronomers 'image' a mysterious dark object in the distant Universe
I wonder if it's similar to how mefical doctors feel about their jobs. It's gotta turn into a bit of a routine, otherwise they will just spend time in that existential crisis and not get anything done.

> This is cool as heck, and now I’m going to go back to my computer job and try not to think about how ridiculously tiny and fragile my little life is.

There could be an alternative take here: we really lucked out that life as we know it exists at all. So we kinda won the lottery already.

VTimofeenko··on Modern Linux tools
I've gotten great mileage out of a ttyd-based container that runs bash with nix. Ttyd exposes the shell over web endpoint.

I can just drop it into the environment and pull in tools that I need using nix.

VTimofeenko··on Testing two 18 TB white label SATA hard drives from datablocks.dev
I believe Synology's UPS monitoring is based on nut-server[1]. In my setup, I am running the server on a separate machine that reads UPS state over USB and Synology is just a client. Maybe UNAS could also just work as a client.

VTimofeenko··on Show HN: I've built a tiny hand-held keyboard
Try swapping the switches on your keyboard if it allows it? Or try a keyboard with a different layout?

My first mechanical keyboard had cherry mx brown which felt stiff, loud and not too comfortable to type on for long periods of time. I got a pad to try out all kinds of switches and ultimately moved to a split keyboard with kalih silent pink.

VTimofeenko··on The government ate my name
The transliteration conventions also change over time. Double "e" in my last name has been transliterated into English as "eye" in the past. As a bonus - add permutations with and without patronym.

I use up all the fields for alternative names on all the forms.

VTimofeenko··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
There's nut-server project to take care of the shutdowns. Compatible UPS can be read from using SNMP or USB and nut-server can distribute the status to the clients. Clients may elect to shut down.

Does your desktop actually drain 1kw during normal operation? If so, yeah, it would probably benefit from a separate UPS. You might not need to replace the whole thing though, just the batteries -- admittedly they are the bulk of the cost.

WRT cats -- I got myself a network cabinet for precisely that reason. Also minimizes the amount of fur getting trapped in vents.

VTimofeenko··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
2 years seems pretty quick. Do batteries die or something else?

Laptops generally don't have the best thermals, so there's a limit to how much chooch you can get from them.

VTimofeenko··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
I have the original mainboard (i5, 11th gen) the laptop came with in that coolermaster case. Generally really quiet, but fans have kicked in a few times and it was pretty noticeable. Since it's VESA mountable, I might just move it into the rack at some point and let the rack fans take care of everything.
VTimofeenko··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
A battery may turn into a spicy pillow. Please do consider a UPS.
VTimofeenko··on Self hosting 10TB in S3 on a framework laptop and disks
If it's just the mainboard and no screen, OP could put it in a dedicated case like the CoolerMaster one:
