Does you cat have a gigantic front right paw or is that just a camera artifact?

CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is moderately severe back pain really normal at 30?2·17 hours agoI’m almost 40, tall, not in great shape, have bad posture, and have two misaligned disks in my lower back and even my back pain isn’t that bad, so I would say that no it’s not normal. You should definitely get that checked out.

You march your butt down to Lowes to get those big black totes so you can pile your collected items into them and stow them in a neat stack in the garage so that you have space for more collectibles. That’s what you do with yourself. Don’t forget the label maker!

Free with Amazon Prime.4·2 days agoYeah I’m definitely jealous of the people who have a Microcenter nearby. We had Radio Shack and a Fry’s 45 minutes away and both are gone now. Fry’s came in clutch when my old AM3 backing plate snapped in half and my CPU cooler fell off. They had one in stock and I was able to buy just the backing plate by itself. If I’d gone to Best Buy, they’d probably just look at me weird and tell me I’d need to buy a whole new computer.

I bought the 6 in 2018 because it was new, was white, and only like $99 at the time and it’s served me well. Every couple of years I’d buy some more drive trays as my pool filled up and I needed more space.
I just rebuilt my whole system a couple of months ago but kept the case because it works so well and there isn’t much on the market like it without getting into fullsize cases. It’s nearly silent even with 5 fans and 9 HDDs inside. It sits about 2 feet from me on my desk and I only hear a tiny hum from the fans.
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help Selecting DIY NAS Hardware?English3·2 days agoPC Part Picker has filters that will let you set all your requirements and show you what’s available. Since you want ECC and low cost, you might be better off finding options on PCPartPicker and then looking for those items used on ebay.
If you don’t have a case already, you might check out Fractal Design. They have several cases for lots of 3.5" drives. I have a Define 6 and it holds like 12 3.5" and 4 2.5" in a midtower format and it’s constructed really well. You will need to buy additional drive trays though as they only come with 4 I think.

Free with Amazon Prime.9·2 days agoI’ve made a couple electronics orders recently where my order seemingly just slipped into a void somewhere (no confirmation email, no tracking info) and then just showed up at my door two weeks later. I think Amazon has made us all forget what ordering things from the internet used to be like.

CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•“Yay! We made our project objectively worse!”English2·3 days agoJust get a bigger combination air fryer/toaster oven. They’re a total game changer and way more efficient than using your kitchen oven. I haven’t found a frozen pizza yet that won’t fit inside ours, there’s almost zero preheating time, and the air fryer portion works great for fries, tots, nuggets, etc.
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•“Yay! We made our project objectively worse!”English1·3 days agoI definitely recall reading an article on /r/Futurology about breakthroughs in Hot Pocket technology about a decade ago. Seems those advances have finally made their way to the production line and the sleeves are now no longer required.
Comcast has done some wizardry to finally allow decent upload speeds as of late. For years I’ve had 900Mbps down and 15Mbps up but with whatever upgrade they’ve done, I’m now at 900/200 which is decent enough. I honestly don’t even need all this download bandwidth and would be happy with 500/500 but most people aren’t running media servers and hundreds of torrents so they don’t dedicate much to upload bandwidth.
Technology has continued to progress but I think many cable providers are capping at around 100 mbps. I could be wrong.
I think most are offering as high as 1-2Gbps (asymmetrical) with cable. That’s what Comcast is offering in our area. With 100Mbps CenturyLink DSL being the only alternative.
POV: you wake up 5 minutes late and someone is pissed that they haven’t had breakfast yet.
These both seem like solid middle class purchases.
