I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I’ve had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.

Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I’d I’m not using it.

That makes sense as long as you’re not writing code that needs to know how to do something as complex as …checks original post… count.

I’d never looked at them before, but yeah that super flower super modular supply looks pretty sweet. It looks like it has a ton of ports that I assume can be wired up as whatever you need.

For me, the splitters were just generic: they plug to an existing molex out connector and give you 5 SATAs on a ribbon.

https://a.co/d/gXtQ3Qp is what I’d bought, just for reference. The power supply I used them with wasn’t modular (ancient) and so whatever it had was what there was.

Maybe I misread, but if you are planning on having two different PSUs in play for the same system, it’s my understanding that it’s important to make sure the DC outputs share a common ground, which might be a little extra wiring.

Depending on how power hungry the drives are, and if your PSU has enough spare power, you can get cable splitters. I had some spare molex ports which I plugged a cable from Amazon that split it into 5 SATA power connectors.

You don’t want to infinitely split cables though, as tempting as that can be, because there are real electrical limits to doing that. Also just because a power supply is rated at X watts, that’s the total. Hard drives will use the 5V and 12V rails and usually there are individual limits on each rail.

Upgrading the PSU is another option. Probably the cleanest easiest best solution IMO. But even then, you probably can’t find a PSU that’ll give you 12 SATA connectors out of the box so you’ll probably need some splitters in there anyways.

In my case specifically, I’ve actually got a second power supply (because i already had it and it was otherwise just gathering dust) powering the extra drives. It’s a bit more complicated to get set up but, it’s an option as well.

Edit: also if you’re asking yourself where can you physically PUT the drives, I 3D printed these and slapped some fans on them:

Long story short, PP refuses to get his security clearance because he doesn’t want to be “gagged”.

He was offered a special pathway to getting the briefings that didn’t involve a mandatory security clearance.

But, after finding out that he still would not be able to share classified information with others, he’s backing out again.

What value is there you knowing my expression of ARHGAP1? What about TP53BP1?

Yeah, or someone will die because lab result baselines that are dependent on sex get fucked up.

Politics need to stay the fuck out of medicine. Having people try and do a political dance around lab science is a recipe for disaster.

I agree that from a psychological lens there is value. “Why does a person do or think things?” Valuable there. VERY valuable. Greed, fear, when do they become maladaptive? Why does this happen? Is it intrinsic to some individuals or is it just capacity?

I don’t think it’s very valuable from an ethics/philosophy standpoint. “Is it right to do a thing?”

I don’t think it’s especially valuable from a sociological perspective either, it needlessly complicates a model. For some population, a variance of greed will exis within it. A variance of fear of outsiders.

I don’t mean to shit on the idea. Just suggesting where the limits of value may be on the idea.

But like, practically, what does that mean?

I ask, from a philosophy point of view, that this is a perennial idea.

Generally through history, where this usually goes, is that a defined set of behaviours get classified as “natural”. Cats hunt mice. It’s natural. There are no ethical concerns with a cat hunting a mouse.

Anyways, near the end of the philosophical exercise, people realize that a TON of behaviours which are without any meaningful counterargument “natural” are actually fucking terrible. Theft, murder, rape, etc.

And that’s usually where the wheels come off. We’re animals. We have animal urges. They’re informed by parts of our brains designed for survival in an environment that no longer exists, because humans have crafted our environments into something unrecognizable to what the human animal evolved to exist within.

We’re animals transplanted outside of our evolutionary environment. We can recognize we’re animals for whom our animalistic instinct and urges clearly don’t suit our reality. This is what puts such strain on trying to connect ideas of “natural” and “acceptable” and limits the practical value of any models which try to relate the two.

This isn’t a new idea. I can’t stress enough how old and recurring an idea it is. It just, under careful consideration, is found to be much less useful a model than imagined once the leap from conception to application is made.

What would it mean to you, to stop pretending to edit: NOT be animals?

Sometime after 2000 BCE, the question of what the ambiguous reference to “purple stuff” referred to became a shared cultural flashpoint.

He’s not an asshole for disliking a Nazi. He’s an asshole for deciding to spring a question he knows the answer to which apparently demands of him to boycott a wedding.

His idiot brother likes Elon Musk. The brother isn’t disinviting him. OP is the one who created and is enforcing a rule about Elon.

I have no idea what the family dynamics are, but if they’re otherwise good and you’re willing to burn your family relationships because they don’t share your views on Elon Musk, wowza.

It’s amazing to me how willing people are to play the part of the shrill reee-ing blue haired archetype foil that Republicans created.

I’m going to get drunk and ruin a wedding. THAT will fix the world.

No, dumbass, it’s going to validate everything fox news has been telling their base about the left. You have absolutely no self awareness, and will ruin your brother’s wedding as if he was the CEO of Shell even though he’s a construction worker in rural Montana.

Be the strawman the Republicans want you to be!

Could be. Tolerance and assholes aren’t binary states, so it depends on the context what the measure is.

If someone intentionally steps on an ant at a funeral, and I decide I’m not going to let it slide and interrupt the eulogy to give an impassioned lecture about how needless killing is immoral, even if it’s an ant, I’d be an asshole.

If I saw some schoolyard bullies beating up a kid and I didn’t intervene I’d be an asshole.

“I waggle my dick in front of my brother and he punches it every time”

From OPs context, and they could certainly clarify, but it sounds like they just won’t shut up about class struggle, wealth inequality… For which for the terminally online there is an endless appetite for and you can find a cozy echo chamber to nuzzle up in.

So his brother doesn’t share the same views on Elon musk.ok. he obviously knows this by now. Why does he insist on asking about it? Why ask a question that has no bearing on either of your lives where if you don’t get an agreement on you’ll be so mad you’ll not go to their wedding when you know the answer ahead of time.

They’re both assholes. He shouldn’t go to the wedding but honestly based on the context as presented I don’t think the brother is going to be upset about it.

You can do whatever you want with your own life, but many of those things will make you an asshole.

The question posed is “will doing the thing I want to do make me an asshole”

I guess on the one hand, it wouldn’t make a material difference because the US can and would criminalize it and the American market for the product would be non existent…

But on the OTHER hand it would make very little impact in terms of dollars and cents…

But I guess on the OTHER hand it would trigger disproportional responses because Trump is heavily funded by tech bros…

I suppose on the other hand, though, we could pivot our tech sector creating a product that will need to be locally dismantled once a friendlier president gets elected…

But, on the other hand…

I’m all for FOSS, jailbreaking, owning what is yours, right to repair… Etc etc, but trying to frame this as an appropriate or meaningful response to terriffs is nonsense. It’s drawing a line between two things that aren’t connected. And nobody would give this proposal the time of day on its own merits, the only reason it’s even making the rounds on the socials is that Cory said it.

Yes it is, and saying it isn’t is normalizing a terrifying thing.

The crux of your argument is that someone isn’t lying is nobody believes them. Ergo, Donald Trump isn’t a liar.

This is the EXACT fucking playbook you see in Russia and North Korea. The way you are thinking right now is SPECIFICALLY how dictators WANT you to think. It excuses lies and paves the way to the concept of there being no such thing as objective truth because everyone is lying anyways, but they’re not even lies because you were never going to believe it anyways. You’ll just exhaustedly shrug and choose a dissonance that’s a lower energy mental state.

That’s irrelevant. When he says “I believe X”, he is professing that he believes something. Just because we know he’s lying doesn’t mean he isn’t saying it.

That kinda logic scares the hell out of me, btw. People are just so numb to it that it’s like their brains are short circuiting.

So what you’re saying is he professes to have beliefs which he doesn’t actually have?
