Setting up a Synology server, I made the mistake of just buying a UPS that had a USB plug on the back thinking oh this is a solved problem, it must just work. No no far from it.

So the UPS I mistakenly purchased is not compatible with Synology. SRV1KI-E wants to run this weird program called PowerChute.

Anyone have success marrying this into the Synology ecosystem?

It also has a RS 232 serial port, I wonder if there's an off-the-shelf device that would speak serial but output power state via the network or USB.

New Vegas Reloaded is officially available for download via Discord.

There are many other versions floating around the interwebs but it's HIGHLY recommended you use the latest nightly build, downloaded from the TES Reloaded Discord. 

I'll point out, this site is hosted on GitHub, which distributes builds, and has build infrastructure....

Why are builds going through discord???!?! Insane

a paper about a new typesetting system that I wrote to produce the paper (and the talk's slides). That system is called BoVeX and the paper is called Badness 0

There are options for how to manage a test computer.

Do you have a preferred case that is portable, stackable, and still easy to work on?

I've thought about Fractal cases but they are on the bulky side of things. I've thought about a 4U case Silverstone rm44, but then the components are hard to access.. and noise goes up

45 minutes: An excellent presentation by Ben bickman. He goes over different life cycles of fat, different biological fat growth scenarios. He discusses how fat cells grow and shrink in different hormonal environments.

Not only is the data fascinating, he's an excellent presenter, being engaging and funny throughout

Near the end of the presentation he covers a N of one case study, where somebody gained weight, under different hormonal regimes. Really fascinating data

On stock aosp, and pixel android, I can auto rotate the phone up, left, or right, but if I turn the phone upside down the screen won't rotate.

Is there a way to enable upside down rotation? I think it would be quite useful.

I.e. When phone is charging, or hanging phone up by a strap, or when using a usb-c device and you want to prop it up on a desk

Is a lighter effective because it's on fire? Or just because it's hot?

If you made a lighter that was just as hot as another lighter, would it work just as well even if it had no fire?

Happy Holidays

I often find myself accidentally following the link of a post when I want to open the post and see the comments, rather than opening the post itself. That's because on my Voyager feed the post image is 95% of the post, and the title is a bit smaller.

Some people may prefer not to engage with the comments, but I would like an optional toggle to make any engagement with the post and the feed open the post itself.

For images, when touching the image makes the image bigger. This is no big deal. I just open the post. But when it opens an external web browser, the friction of going backwards is annoying.

When scrolling on the main feed, if a post is bigger than the screen height, if you scroll up to view the top of the post sometimes Voyager will reload the entire feed, resulting in a blank screen and 10 to 20 seconds of reload.

Compared to many of the other militaries we’ve looked at, Iran’s force structure and overarching strategy stands out.

From its arsenal of Shah era weapons to its new generation of missiles, in this episode we did a bit deeper into Iran’s military capabilities, limitations, and the industrial capabilities behind them.
