  1. I think it would be awesome if LTT published a docker image and config files that could be used to replicate what they did here. They make a lot of videos that are basically "Look at this cool thing we made". It seems like a way to step it up a notch would be "Look at this cool thing we made, and here's everything you need to make one yourself". Ya, most people wouldn't bother actually doing it, but the way that Level1Techs or Jeff Geerling often publish the source code or detailed instructions makes it feel like the time I spend watching their videos is somehow more productive. It depends on the subject of the video obviously, but in theory in this case there could be a link in the description to a docker compose file or something that a viewer could get up and running just on a linux desktop with a webcam attached in like 10 minutes without needing a ton of of experience beyond how to use a linux terminal.
  2. Should it remain a right though? Lots of other things have changed in the constitution as times changed. Women and black people didn't even have the right to vote at the start. In fact, the original constitution didn't even have it, after all it was the second amendment. Obviously something this serious needs to be thoroughly discussed and have the consequences of it fully considered though.
  3. Honestly, building a gun is actually really easy... All you need is a tube that's the right size and a hammer or even a rock. The ammo is probably harder to make
  4. Doing it that way would be hard, but if you just kept track of guns going forward then it would be pretty easy. It might take a few years for it to actually have an effect but I don't think there is a solution that will solve gun violence instantly...
  5. I think it wouldn't actually be all that hard to track them. Again, treat them similar to cars. They already have unique serial numbers so you could easily track who the owner of each gun is. You don't even need to make it illegal to sell them privately, just require a transfer of ownership similar to what you need to do to sell a car.
  6. I think that at very least we should regulate guns as much as we regulate cars, so you should need a license.
  7. You should just use a fan to blow the hot air wherever you want it to go. You could also insulate the table a little bit, cardboard taped to the underside would be worth trying.
  8. I don't have a washing machine in my apartment so, no point really...
  9. So, I've actually done this, except instead of getting the $25 copper water block, I got the $5 aluminum version... https://www.amazon.com/Oxidation-Cooling-Block-Computer-semiconductor/dp/B01MECPBSO/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1479701477&sr=1-11&keywords=water+block I also used that exact water pump haha. I used an old oil cooler radiator with a fan tied onto it and had it in a bucket on the floor to use as the reservoir / drop catcher because I didn't seal the connection to the radiator, then I just had the pump in the bucket because its submersible. As a bonus, because it was winter in canada I could supercharge the cooling with snow as long as I was careful not to get it to the point where condensation would be an issue... I've taken it apart since because it was so janky though obviously...
  10. It boots into safe mode just fine right now. Is there really no way to find what is causing the error when it tries to boot normally?
  11. A few months ago when I "upgraded" to windows 10 I decided I also wanted to add an SSD to my laptop. I left the original hard drive in as well so I didn't even need to sort through all my files and everything seemed to go fine until a while later when I realized that my laptop would only boot if the original hard disk was in it. Turns out windows left the efi system partition on that hard drive so the SSD couldn't boot windows without the other hard drive. I put up with this bull shit for a while but got tired of it a few days ago and decided to try to fix it. After probably 5 tries I've successfully created the efi partition and the microsoft reserved partition using diskpart and managed use to bcdboot and/or bootrec to create the bcd store and boot manager and such, but when I try to boot it ends up with a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error and restarts. However, it does boot successfully in safemode! But, I can't find anyway to troubleshoot it from here and figure out what the issue is. I haven't installed any drivers or anything since it was last running correctly so I don't think that's the problem, but I have done crazy stuff including moving over the main partition to make room for the efi and microsoft partitions. I've googled everything I can think of but almost everything that comes up seems to be people who's computers got broken "upgrading" to win10 and all the answers are just "buy this recovery program" or "reinstall windows" which I don't really want to do because I've gotten this far and its always a huge pain getting all the weird drivers back on a laptop and re-installing all my programs. Does anyone know how to fix this or things I should check to troubleshoot it?
