Yes please update me if you remember! And likewise, the development of these projects is bringing me back some excitement I haven't felt for tech since smart phones or mp3 players came out lol

This is awesome, thanks for posting the info. The droid 4 is probably my favorite phone of all time. I still have my dead one in my drawer because I'd be too sad to get rid of it. It was a rough transition to no keyboard, and I'd 1000% switch to a modern version of the droid 4, but it this works reasonably, it may be a real option (at least to toy around with)

Right, and I get them wanting to make an SUV. Just name it something else. It's a different vehicle after all.

I really hate when car makers take an older make and completely ruin it's style. If they made a remake of the gen 2 (hell, even a gen 1) eclipse that didn't have trash specs, I'd buy one. I love those cars. Pretending a Nissan leaf is the worthy of the eclipse name is just sad.

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. I wouldn't mind having a phone with specs worse than current gen phones, but the pinephone is really quite bad

Everyone is different when it comes to motivation, but here's how I deal with it. I stay excited (most of the time) to get in the gym and see the progress I made from last time. Say last week I curled 50 for 8-7-7, can I get 9-9-9? Let's to see! I'd do the same for cardio if I did any proper cardio lol

Incredible work! I honestly have not been as pumped about technology in such a long time, and it's mostly due to Linux/Linux phones. I finally got around to fixing a PMOS install on my old phone and been itching to tinker with it.

With that said, how has the battery life been for you? Mines not great, but it could also be there fact that the battery is like 8 years old. And that's only using WiFi. I'm curious how it does on modern hardware and using cell towers.

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

This is a fair point. Having it stationary often, and for long periods helps its case. The range increase is basically an tiny side benefit.

I thought we went over this with fiskar. Having solar on a car seems mostly gimmicky, since the amount it generates per unit area is fairly negligible compared to what vehicles need to move. Unless the car is hyper efficient, I can't imagine the claimed gains on range are actually real.

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I appreciate the input! Yeah I'm just frustrated because the deficit worked really great for like 5 months, seeing pretty consistent, reasonably "fast progress". I imagine that's mostly because I had extra fat stores to burn through. The last week or so I bumped my number closer to 500, so I'll see how that feels after I settle, but so far the scale stopped moving. There's no way my maintenance is 2000 calories at 180 lbs and being pretty active. The body is weird lol

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Good questions. I estimate my maintenance to be 2500-2800 a day, and have been doing about 1800 for the last 7 months or so (since Thanksgiving). My macro split is something like 160 p, 50-55 f, and ~200 carbs. Until the last month or so, everything was good. I had continual strength gains and same endurance. I have days now when endurance is good, it's just that certain exercises seem to go down somewhat sporadically

 

For context, I've been back at the gym now for about a year and I've taken nutrition and activity more seriously than ever before to challenge myself. Since after highschool I've always sat around 25-30% bodyfat (peaking a little higher) and I'm down to something around 15% now.

For the last about 7 lbs of this journey, I've had a lot more misses in the gym as far as did seta. Like last week I did for example 50 lbs for 8,8,7 then this week I had to drop down, since I could only do 5-6 at 50 lbs. It doesn't happen for every lift, but it's pretty consistently at least 1 lift per week. I know at some point, the game becomes just trying to preserve strength/muscle, but I figured that would be more of an issue if I get closer to 10% bf. Any tips or experience is greatly appreciated.

 

I have a server running Debian 12. It seems to hang up and freeze sometime between 12 hours and like 2-3 days. I really want to see what's happening, but I can't access my containers with the web UIs, can SSH, and adding a monitor shows the DE completely frozen. Rebooting fixes it for a while, but it locks up again after some time.

I had the same issue with 10 year old hardware so I threw together a "new" machine with some spare parts and it still happens I also tried rocky Linux and the same thing happened on both machines.

Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'm looking to upgrade drives on two of my machines. My server running ubuntu has a 3.5" and will be getting a larger capacity HDD, while my personal computer running endeavor OS will be going from a 2.5" ssd to an nvme drive. (Not sure if it helps giving the drive types, but can't hurt).

I'm fine with a clean install and reinstalling everything, but to save some time I'd of course like to minimize the effort that goes into it (importing settings etc). Any tips/tricks for either? Thanks in advance

 

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

 

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I don't have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it's a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I'm good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there's a dedicated device, as I don't want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I'm probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I'd try to get some ideas together.

Thoughts?
