DB9 is still used on for MIDI on electronic instruments, though some manufacturers are moving to doing it with a TRS 3.5mm plug since it only uses 3 pins.

I had a mouse that plugged into the serial port, but my first computer was a Commodore 64.

Jumped over to Voyager. It’s fine.

No one has heard from LJDawson in quite some time. He’s done this before, but this time has been longer. Don’t expect any help, Sync is likely dead.

Equilibrium is a really boring movie. Imagine if The Matrix’s fight scenes were centered around a gunfighter whose primary strategy is to stand in one spot and that doing so was a plot point and all the neat plot points of The Matrix were replaced with a plot about not feeling emotions.

Feel nothing, stand in one spot. Movie done.

I recently bought a Mac Mini because music production on Linux had me fighting my tools more than using them. My Linux box is a 7800x3d/7800xtx. The Mini idles at 4w, while the 78000xtx alone idles closer to 50w. I use the mini for everything non-gaming now.

Excellent point. I’m sure the guy who edited user comments couldn’t have un-modded himself at any given point.

Was that while he was a moderator of /r/jailbait?

Note to anyone heeding this advice: it has to be a metal water pipe, no plastic.

Drives do this on their own.

I’ve got a BeeLink N100 system that’s just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you’re not expecting i5+ power.

LJ’s been Syncing for years now. We don’t know him but he sure is a friend.

I would bet that when they signed the deal to use Reddit user posts to train AI they either had already or at that time made a snapshot of everything that would have been considered the base state of the product. They also must have made backups at some point in Reddit’s history that they could refer back to. Hell, they might upsell that in their training data as “Reddit Classic: Before the Diggpocalypse” and “Steve Huffman’s modlog from that period of time that he was the moderator of /r/jailbait.”

You can use it as a firewall/router or a VPN gateway and even slap a wireless NIC or two on there and make it a combo router/AP, which can simultaneously play and transcode video as a Plex/Jellyfin server with zero hit to networking performance.

Wifi is not for critical services, get that thing wired.

Thanks for the hard work mate, I hear the next beta is gonna blow us all away. Also I’m looking forward to posting.

That’s definitely true, but Sync also fixed it a while back.
