  • Well they still have a finite life and are less replaceable than a battery. Even if it quadrupled the lifespan (which is a reasonably generous estimate given OP’s 4-year duration and wikipedia telling me supercapacitors last 10-15 years), it would still eventually need to be replaced and that would generally require resoldering it.

    I think a much better solution is 2 battery slots, one to be a backup battery, unused, and then when needed, an LED on the mobo can be turned on. Honestly OP could jury-rig up a similar system if he wanted to, although it’d be a bit ugly and anytime something is jury-rigged I don’t really think of it as reliable.






  • I used a pi 3 to host a Foundry server (TTRPG software).

    I use Docker to simplify things, since I run two instances of it. Simple port forwarding setup within the docker container. the main reason I used a pi instead of my computer is so my players could access their dnd stuff all the time.

    I stopped because I switched ISPs and they won’t let me port-forward. My vpn supports it but the latency isn’t ideal. I host the same thing through a cheap server now.



  • Part time is most of UPS.

    What they really want is more full-time jobs, anyway, but this contract brought hardly any of those to the workers, too.

    It’s a cop-out to say part-time isn’t a living wage when part-time is has become just a corporate loophole to justify no full-time benefits, and besides, it’s an hourly wage. Part time should be the same as full time. Full time should make more money by working more hours, not by having a higher wage, especially when part timers can’t go full time if they wanna.

    Also if you read the summary text at least, the main vote for this hasn’t happened yet, this is still the proposed contract. The big complaint here is it’s felt those top people are sellouts and won’t come back with something better.
