In FreeCAD, spent 5m trying everything to figure out why a part wouldn't adjust. Had transform dialog open. Still let's you click everything, items just don't work.

Right after that, went to work on the new NAS. Kept rebooting during install. PSU is a nice 850w, can't be that. Swapped out for proven RAM, no luck. Can't be the PSU. Swapped out the.. Everything. No luck. Can't be the PSU. Sigh....

You sure about that?

Yea, I guess because they are "selling" vs being compensated for? If the US govt dictates terms to that business under homeland security, GDPR probably wouldn't matter, but I can only assume since it's a sale, that's not the case.

Assuming the data doesn't include international departures or arrivals (only their domestic counterparts), would GDPR even apply?

Headline lobs it.

Login credentials belonging to an employee at both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Department of Government Efficiency have appeared in multiple public leaks from info-stealer malware, a strong indication that devices belonging to him have been hacked in recent years.

Kyle Schutt is a 30-something-year-old software engineer who, according to Dropsite News, gained access in February to a “core financial management system” belonging to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The original quote:

In an email to The Post, his father, Errol, said Musk and his younger brother were “interested in motorbikes, computers, basketball and a little about girls. They were not into political nonsense, and we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime. We had several black servants who were their friends.”

Probably better to think of in Wh since I'll be running 24v. About 98Wh of energy to boil, assume *~1.2 for loss so ~118Wh total. Thats ~5Ah at 24V, or ~10Ah at 12V.

I'll be running pretty large bank, too, so not to concerned on it 😉

Just gonna drop this one in here.

https://github.com/ventoy/PXE/issues/106

Ventoy PXE used by iVentoy installing malware and fraudulent CA certs from... you guessed it, binary blobs. The primary dev is now in damage control in another issue and moving forward on updating the primary repo. Good on them.

So, yea, not a minor thing, even for Ventoy.

No more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah.

Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating

So for 1 liter in my case, a 2K watt inverter woth 80% efficiency across the system would take under 4 minutes to boil.

Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉
