Packet tracer is definitely not OSS nor free as in speech. But it is probably your best bet for something to get started with. You can go on netacad and get it for free together with the self-paced introduction to packet tracer course. I’m not trying to shrill for Cisco, they’re a soulless company that exploits their position to extort insane prices. But PT is kinda nice, IF! all you want is to build simple networks and you don’t care about being vendor agnostic or only running FOSS.

PS: and cisco? 2900€ for a 24port l3 switch? GTFO, a mikrotik crs326 can do the same and is 200€ and it doesn’t require a DNA-center to enable licensing, why? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LICENSES!!1!one!

That’s the next step: drop all encrypted traffic.

This isn’t really what this community is for. We’re here to discuss circuit design and other subjects on that level.

I would avoid any 5€ solution that wasn’t a renowned brand second hand. I understand that you are budget aware, I too have a very close and loving relationship with my money, but I wouldn’t trust some cheap temu part to be plugged in without oversight. That’s a pretty easy way to wake up dead in a pile of smoking ashes.

I’m sorry if I’m coming off as an asshole, I’m really not trying to. If you think I’m being snobby I suggest that you go watch a few big Clive videos on youtube. The chinesium stuff can be really poorly constructed.

How much power does your fan use? Is it an ordinary asynchronous AC motor? Single phase 230V?

If there’s enough lateral space to do it in.

When I was a child we didn’t have bike lanes, and biking to school was always an interesting endeavor. Thus I will always take off a bit of speed and give cyclists a good bit of space. But if there’s two or more bikes side by side, then they can take up enough road that you can’t pass them without crossing entirely into the other lane. And then they’re just a big pain as slow moving tractors and other farm equipment, except they’re even more annoying because they could just go single file.

Cyclists going side by side are inconsiderate assholes and this comes from a guy who bikes to work daily.

there was a tendency for MUCH worse surprises to be included.

Yeah, like strange unreleased Weird Al tracks with sex and drugs references… Every spoof was labeled weird Al back in 2000

Where is that in relation to the section saying dogs can’t play?

I have all the autodesk products available in software center from my job. Decided to give fusion a try, as it includes what was once eagle as well as enough 3d for my use… Online only? Where file? No offline stl because conversion is done online? GTFO! I’m back to using inventor and an ancient eagle version.

you will need the 12v adapter

Not if there’s something like a boost converter built in.

I don’t know what you can draw from a modern USB port, but 12.75W is required by the drive, and when I tried a couple of months ago, I wasn’t able to power a similar drive (it had a green and white label and was 1 TB, IDK what it was anymore) from a single USB-C port.

I have something like the product you’ve found. Except mine has a single USB-C plug. My device can’t power 3.5"HDDs nor optical drives. But it will power 2.5"HDDs and of course SSDs.

Your device has two USB plugs, one blue and another white. That the white plug is auxiliary power seems plausible. The USB standard specifies 0.5A max current per port. So two ports, 2.5W each, is 5W. 12V and 5V both 0.75A is 12.75W. So unless your computer has charging ports, capable of delivering extra current, it won’t work.

The compact device is nice, when you’re not working with 3.5" drives, but I have found the universal solution to be something with a separate SATA power connector, like this https://www.reichelt.com/dk/en/shop/product/usb_2_0_ide_sata_adapter_with_backup_function-88571?q=%2Fdk%2Fen%2Fshop%2Fusb-2-0-ide-sata-adapter-with-backup-function-logilink-au0006d-p88571.html&GROUPID=6196&OFFSET=16&r=1

It’s bulky, but it works.

But of course, how else could you describe yourself as having experience with TeX? /s

I think our TeX savvy lemming here confuses a knowledge level in the expert/consultant sphere with “having experience”.

Having worked with LaTeX on and off for 15 years, and on occasions developing TeX macros (ie copy pasting stuff from stackoverflow and shotgun debugging it until it sorta works) and creating various graphics with PGF/TikZ, I would describe myself as having extended experience with the TeX environment. But I still can’t tell you exactly what causes \hbox underfull without looking it up… Probably because it’s never caused a failure to output my documents.

Ok, go on then, tell the class what underfull hbox is. And no googling!

I am indeed awaiting the big news headlines that will for some reason catch everyone by surprise when a LLM comes along that’s trained to “translate” machine code into a nice easily-comprehensible high-level programming language.

Another commenter dismissed the idea outright. WTF… What is implausible about an LLM that takes decompiled code, deals with the obfuscating bs, recognizes known libraries, and organizes the remaining code. That will totally happen, if it hasn’t already been done.

The right honourable, Sir Cunt?

Mother fucker! I nearly broke my tongue just trying to pronounce that in my head

Unless you go with a pc with 10gig interfaces my suggestion would be a mikrotik ccr2004-16g-2s and a couple of 10gig sfp+ interfaces. It comes with the added bonus of passive cooling and more software options than most of us knows what to do with. Even has WLC capabilities.

What’s up with the string tension in that stock photo? I haven’t seen recurve limbs point that much forward when stringed before.

Same in DK, and my comment was meant to underline that. If you see a drone and no operator is around, then something is definitely wrong.

I mean, years ago, I had a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drift away, on account of my own inexperience and stupidity. This was right when it had just come out, and way before drone licenses and laws forbidding drone flights in populated areas. So no laws were broken; and it was done with no malicious intent… But these days?

Not even the DK police, who have some very well-trained drone operators, can fly their drones out of sight.

Seeing a drone with no operator once? Something might have gone wrong, let’s not judge too harshly, but seeing a drone with no operator regularly? On your property? If you have a hunting permit, a shotgun, and a clear shot, then it might be a good time to practice your anti air skills.

Addendum: drone licenses and permits doesn’t allow you to fly over private property or main roads.

Since op didn’t mention seeing a pilot, I’d suspect that the drones are flown out of sight. So asking them to stop can be difficult. Of course asking nicely, by downing a drone, might get the message across.

I wonder if I could shoot down drones here in Denmark as well.
