I’m old and did not know this. Huh.

Still 1024 in my heart.

Skeleton crew has been a blast so far. Especially if you were raised on 80s kid adventure movies.

How the heck do you give you cat a pill? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

This is the way.

I do this every night with 2 pills. I just did it 3 minutes ago, in fact.

Lay cat in lap. Grab head and kinda hold/lightly pinch cheeks with left hand. With right hand force your fingers pinching the pill into the back of the throat. Push it as far back as quickly as you can with your pointer finger. Hold him to make sure it gets swallowed.

Apologize and give him a little scratch and kiss.

Macbook Pro battery draining overnight in c/[email protected]

It’s telling you right on screen. Battery service recommended.

Means the battery’s shot. They don’t last forever.

Google how to replace it yourself, see if you’re up for it. If not, find a service to do it. Doesn’t have to be (probably shouldn’t be) the Apple Store. You’re LOONG out of warranty.

Idk if I’m the right one to help here…

But don’t take a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Maybe the 101st job will come through. Maybe your new bff is going to appear tomorrow. Idk.

The thing I do know is that nothing is permanent. Good or bad. Except death. Options are spiraling out into the future in front of you and this, too, shall pass.

Appreciate your past self - they overcame a lot to get you here.

Forgive your current self - they’re doing their best in trying times.

And trust your future self to make the best of what times come next.

Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try? (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16636012

Me again, back with another probably dumb question, but you beautiful bastards have been so helpful so far, I can't stay away!

I got 10x 10TB SAS drives from FB market place. They look like they're in good shape and the guy says he pulled them from the live server of a family member who passed. HGST. most/all are 2018.

I brought them home and tried to mount them one-by-one in an xpenology VM to smart test them (easiest place I had set up for SMART tests).

But most of my troubleshooting has just involved looking at the HBA menus in BIOS and seeing if the drives even show up. Currently only 1 seems to reliably.

and I got a weird mix of drive showing up fine, but others not showing up at all. I also got a couple drives that passed a SMART test, then when I pulled them and tried to remount them later, they don't even show up?

I tried using molex to SATA power adapters to rule out 3.3v, didn't help.

I don't think it's formatting because some of them mounted at least once and they all came from the same server.

I tried putting the HBA in another PCIe slot, plan to try the third slot tonight.

I have this HBA, confirmed in BIOS it's in IT mode: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYZBNXBS/

(I'm having troubles finding a good manual for this board, by the way. there are flashing LEDs that may be trying to tell me something?)

and these breakout cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9SBSVW/

I might try another HBA, rule out bad board. I plan to try the third PCIe slot tonight, try to rule that out...

What else?

They could be just bad drives, but the seller seemed genuine and they look like they're in good shape. He even pinged me after the sale to see how they worked out for me.. doesn't seem like a scammer.

Also, a couple questions: 1) these should be hot-swappable, right? and 2) what would happen if this PCIe x8 card is in a PICE x4 slot?

Thanks again. You guys have been great! :)

Looking for advice on a kid/tamper proof retro gaming experience in c/[email protected]

I just got an R36S for ~$36 shipped from Alibaba. It’s awesome out of the box, but you can tweak. It’s incredible what it can do at that price.

To son proof it, just grab an image of the SD card before he starts mucking with it. Easy to flash back to a known-good starting point.

You can even back up his customized version when he has it mostly working before he mucks it up again.
