I’m a man, from Israel.

I’m also a nerd, from Israel.

My romantic life are interesting enough for you to ask me questions about. But they are not good enough for a film.

My main hobby is to learn, and this means everything languages, coding, my using my body, to cook, you name it.

To be that annoying guy - photosynthesis = photo synthesis= light driven synthesis= light controlled driven chemical reaction.

The human body uses sun light to create synthesis melatonin and vitamin D

Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Yes, I have such a device. But I wonder if I can remove it. The less things on my desk, the better. Basically.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Sadly, no. Since I don’t want to install anything on the work laptop. On my own machines, this would have been the solution

a_new_sad_me OP ,

I have a docking station, or better said KVM, connected to the monitor, keyboard etc. Currently, I’m switching the KVM between the laptop and the desktop machine using a USB C. I wonder if there is a way for me to turn my desktop into a KVM.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

It’s a standard Windows machine. It has a ssh.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

There are two issues here:

  1. I have only one monitor
  2. I would like to avoid the risk of copying files between the computer
a_new_sad_me OP ,

There’s a work computer and a home computer. I don’t want my work files ending up on my own computer (for confidentiality reasons) and I don’t want my porn viruses ending up on my work laptop.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Yes, you got it right.

Thanks for the answer, I suspected that this would be the case from the suggestions, but thanks for explaining.

I saw that someone did that, but it’s too much of digging into his explanation for me to manage to do it.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Hi,

Sadly, it appears that doing this requires skills way overy limit. But maybe this would be useful for you.

Is there some way for me to see the history of my storage? Spot any anomalies?

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Thanks, it isn’t this. The trash is empty

a_new_sad_me OP ,

WhatsApp is about 2GB of data for a while now. I guess that if I want to keep my conversation history, that’s a fixed number more or less.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Yes, I’ve seen that, but I don’t see anything trully suspecious there.

There are a bunch of videos that I should delte though. They total to about 2GB. So I guess I’m back to slowly deleting my data from there.

a_new_sad_me ,

Where do you find them?

a_new_sad_me ,

This happened to me, but then I went to investigate where the name “campus” came from, since campus has nothing to do with sea in Greek. All I found is that there was a sea monster in Greek mythology of that name …

(In Percy Jackson, there are sea horse which are proper horses only of the sea, I’m not sure where Rick Riden took the inspiration for them from)

a_new_sad_me ,

Interesting.

I wonder what I did wrong in the first time I searched for this that I couldn’t find anything.

So if I understand this correctly it is Greek mythology -> actual sea creature -> brain part.

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

a_new_sad_me ,

Proper building was built at the end of 19th century. There is an old well that is a few hundred years old and the ruins of a Roman villa from about 2000 years ago.

Bone conduction headphones?

I just recently learned that this is a thing that exists. I’ve had a couple audiology tests that use these weird headphones with firm rubber balls where normally expect to see the speakers; the rubber balls sit on your temporal bone, and there’s a metal bar the wraps around your head connecting them and giving them pressure...

a_new_sad_me ,

I’ve had a pair of shcokz until I forgot them in an airport. I bought regular pair instead since that’s what was available at the time. Pretty much what everyone said here is true. Comfy, you hear well 90% of the time, good combo with earplugs when you can, sound quality is okay but not great.

One very neat (accidental) feature of them is that if you put them in the right accustic (like in a cupboard) they turn into an okay speaker.

Two examples:

1.they found a skeleton that dates before writing was invented (like way before). The skeleton had a broken bone that heeled. Which means that someone was taking care of them. So before writing was invented human have already established a society that allowed for supporting of the weak.
2. There are poop and fart jokes in Greek plays.

Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand (edition.cnn.com)

Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand::The price of a Wendy’s Frosty could soon fluctuate throughout the day as the chain looks to introduce Uber-like surge pricing on its menu.

Sure they can “Wendy’s lunch menu, up to X” or “Wendy’s night snack, as low as Y”

Israeli here:

  1. Every house in Israel has to have a safe room by law
  2. The place where she lived was close to the border but completely within Israel. It wasn’t a settlement at all.
  3. Most kibbutzim in Israel are known to be centre-left. This is well-known to anyone who even vaguely follow the Israeli media (and Hammas follow)

Hammasb (not the Palestiniens, Hammas) knew exactly who they murder. There is no excuse to wash their hand.

My work is using Google drive for Sync/back up so that is covered by them.

Personal data is automatically synched (syncthing) between three computers in different rooms in my home + some of the files is copied to my phone and tablet. I consider adding also an online server for further redundancy

This, all those comments about rent and such are wrong. I mean, they are right, but they are wrong. The main reason that prices in the city are high (including why rent in the city is high) is that people are willing to pay that price. Nothing else. Stop paying 20shmekels on avocado beer, the price of avocado beer will go down.

I recall something about the engineers in SpaceX wanting to follow NASA’s lesson and Elon basically telling them “trust me, we don’t need that”.

a_new_sad_me ,

It’s only that he didn’t make it happen via his (non-existing) genius. He made it via his deep pockets and ego.

a_new_sad_me ,

I’m sharing that pain with you.

On hot summer days, like now. I can find myself up for 2-3 hours due to the discomfort.

Is there a way for me to upload my rifd Keycard to my smartphone?

The company I work in switched to a new building, and we have those stupid doors with RFID cards on them. I’d be damned if I’m going walk with that I’m-working-in-hightech-company-card dangling of my belt. I wonder if there is a way for me to use my phone for credentials. I tried searching for it, and all I could find is...

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Wouldn’t that interfere with payment apps?

a_new_sad_me OP , (edited )

I see that my phone should support encoding NFC tags. I’ll order a cheep ring and see if it works. Thanks.

I’m still curious though, why cannot phones produce that signals on their own? Isn’t this what they do with payment apps?

a_new_sad_me OP ,

I’ll reply here also to @ratumoko - the building security is a joke. The company rents some offices in these share-space buildings. And there is no real security beyond that (OK, fine, also some cameras). I suspect that they use this system just to keep costumers happy, feeling like there is some security system in place. I’ll try the RFID ring and see if it works.

But my “real” question here is how come I didn’t find any app/instruction for making my phone itself an RFID keycard. As I type this I realize that this might be due to needing a specific frequency that the phone cannot produce(?)

That’s the technology they use: nfc-tools.github.io/resources/…/iso14443A/

a_new_sad_me OP ,

True… I confused the term, but this makes my question even more relevant. Since I have to put the card on the reader, I guess that it is an NFC card, rather than RFID. Which means that I should be able to duplicate the signal with my phone. I think.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

It’s a shared office space, so I’m not really concerend about security. And they didn’t say anything about the card, just gave it to me. I discovered yesterday that one of the door is not even locked. As I said in another post, I think that the door thing is mostly for show and not for actual security.

About why not putting it on the belt, well, it’s not about (dis)comfort as much as refusing to make my job a part of what defines me. And this tag is related to the job.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

I think I should give more information about how security works in Israel. Unless you work in a really classified work (I mean NSA level of classified) noone is going to give a fuck about what you do (until something bad happens and then they’ll come down on you). I’m not really concerned about that. I talked to my boss about it and he told me “hmm… it’s worth trying”.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

I scanned the card using an app “NFC tools” It sais that it is manufactured by NXP and the protocol is MiFares 1k. Guess this hould work.

a_new_sad_me OP ,

Do you have a starting place? All I’ve found is instructions for copying NFC tags.

a_new_sad_me ,

In a world where remotes are scarce, I could see how this would be a concern, yes.

a_new_sad_me ,

When the remote controls were first invented.

a_new_sad_me ,

I’ve started using orgzly + synching in the last few weeks. I think that this will give you what you need.

What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

I’m not sure on the ins and outs of hosting/running a 3rd part reddit app, but since reddit is claiming these API charges are only for apps that pull in big numbers, couldn’t the app creators just make a bunch of versions of the app with a limit to how many users can access it?...

a_new_sad_me ,

Without looking into any information, I can guess that it is associated with API key which are registered to a specific email. Sure, you can open more email accounts and more APIs but this is becoming a hustle.

What they could do, is release their code, and for user to register their own API and compile the app on their own. But this solution would answer only tech savi people.

a_new_sad_me ,

Ha! Cool for them!

I guess, though, that the guys who have the skills to enjoy this are the first to switch out of reddit to begin with.

a_new_sad_me ,

They could, use, but this requires extra work from the user, who might just say “nah… I’ll just use the official app instead”
