  Why is the deck layout not filling my screen? Stylus rule improves it @-moz-document url-prefix("https://mastodonapp.uk/deck/") { .column { width: clamp(500px,(100% - 200px) / 3,1000px) !important; } } #mastodon

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org correct.

  @mcc@mastodon.social @petrillic@hachyderm.io @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems btrfs will allow you multiple copies of your data and metadata on a single disk. It might protect against some disk issues, but probably not that many. SSDs will just stop working altogether on controller or dram failure and lose all of the disk at once. I hope you are aware that SSDs are not recommended to be kept unpowered - the 10 year data retention relies on scrubbing that happens only when the power is on.

  @mcc@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I've worn out I think three sets of HGST disks on btrfs over the years and have had little problems.

  @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space it's dead then. No way someone needed a ½W resistor in a megaohm range. Yellow is 25ppm/°C

• View post

  @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space maybe that's a brown band on the left. Then we'd have 16.5 ohms which at least is in the normal E96 resistor series. Maybe yellow as a nonstd tolerance or maybe it's a tempco. Either way the value is small and you should be able to measure it in-circuit to get a feel for it's value.

• View post

  @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space 5.6 ohms, if that's a gold multiplier band, but then I'm confused about the yellow. The other way up makes no sense.

  @sortius@infosec.exchange oh, please elaborate.

  @sortius@infosec.exchange it's a standard IEC 60906-1, nice and compact with good ground pin, and fits ungrounded plugs. Only downside is that the cable usually comes out straight and not at a 90° angle like the UK plug (which avoids bending the wire).

  @petergleick@fediscience.org they'll fight it to the supreme court and have an easy win there.

  @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space yeah that's pretty normal. The inverter might only drive 8mA (a 560Ω pull up), in this case maybe R3=270Ω It helps especially if this is driving some MOS inputs as the TTL gate has a poor rising edge.

  @JetSetIlly@mastodon.gamedev.place oh that's a weird one then. Why would it have a copyright marker?

  @JetSetIlly@mastodon.gamedev.place i suspect the 29128 is the device identifier, the other might just be a stock number for Atari use. 23128 is a 128 kilobit 16KiB ROM 27128 is a 128kb EPROM 28128 is a 128kb EEPROM so it makes some sense that the 29128 is a something memory too.
