If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I don’t think the ones I have would since you have to push the power button to tell it to start charging a plugged in device.

This is so infuriating, especially when it’s so easy to show that voting against progressive initiatives also hurts their own constituents…

This is so cool, it’s a fair way off and may not materialize, but what a great innovation!

Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track in c/technology@lemmy.ml

This is impressive and terrifying as hell… I’m pretty tech savvy and have watched other AI videos, but if you presented this to me as real, I’d totally believe it! Especially I can imagine it being spliced with B roll footage and maybe “real” footage to make it even more believable. I’m floored…

Need Server Recommendations in c/homelab@lemmy.ml

You could consider a couple of those SuperMicro server cases and link one as a JBOD via a SAS card… see things like https://www.servethehome.com/sas-expanders-diy-cheap-low-cost-jbod-enclosures-raid/ I picked up a 12bay CSE-826 with a SAS3 backplane and two 80 Platinum redundant power supplies for $300. I know you’d need a larger one, but eBay is a great place :-)

Linux in hospitals? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I wish I could say that the UI in EMRs *doesn’t * stick big time 😭

Linux in hospitals? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] skatrek47@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 months ago (3 children)

None of the hospitals I’ve worked at (in the US) have used Linux, and I’m pretty surprised some do! Given that we used Internet Explorer up until the very last second before it was not supported, I don’t know if any change would be welcomed, unless a hospital somehow started out with Linux. But at the end of the day, it would be about to e electronic health record, if it was supported or not… I don’t know if Epic, Cerner, or AllScripts do!

To be fair, as both an iOS and Android user, the way android moves icons around drives me crazy , I much prefer the iOS “shift everything down” approach

What year would you say laptops overtook desktops for students leaving for college/university? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I graduated 2006 and my college has WiFi all over so early-2000s?

is there any drawback to having too many partitions? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] skatrek47@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

I’m not an expert, but one drawback is the potential for one partition to become full when the others are empty… However, it looks like you have several different file systems, so a leaner approach might not be doable. May I also recommend something like proxmox to virtualize different OSes, although I’m not sure that would meet your needs.

What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] skatrek47@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I’m not sure why, but it seems like TrueNAS in a VM is not recommended (I saw a thread on their forum)… I also wanted the ability to add more drives later on, so I’ve gone with UnRAID and even though it’s only been a few weeks, it seems pretty functional and I’m glad I paid the licensing fee. I am trying to do Proxmox and OPNsense on one of those fanless N305 boxes and am getting very confused!
