cmnybo, to linux in Basic fonts

Those fonts are not free. They may be just ttf files, but there is a massive amount of work that goes into creating a font with unicode support. If you just want fonts for basic compatibility, you can use open source fonts with compatible metrics such as the Liberation fonts or use the microsoft core fonts that haven’t been updated in 20 years.

cmnybo, to linux in Fonts

I normally use the Deja Vu fonts. I do have the windows fonts installed, but that’s only for some wine programs that need them.

cmnybo, to askelectronics in Attiny85 the right choice for 24h led timer?

You could also use a crystal for the ATtiny and get the same accuracy as the RTC. It should be accurate to about 20-30 seconds per month with a good crystal.

The internal oscillator only has an accuracy of around 1% after you calibrate it. It would be off by over 7 hours after a month. It’s also quite sensitive to voltage and temperature changes.

cmnybo, to askelectronics in What creates resistance in a circuit?

If you do want to measure the low resistance, you’ll need dedicated meter with a kelvin connection.

You can pass a known current through the switch, measure the voltage drop with a multimeter and use ohms law to calculate the resistance.

cmnybo, to askelectronics in TP4056 useless protection circuit?

The drains in the 8205 MOSFET are connected together internally. In a DW01 circuit, they are not connected to anything else.
One MOSFET stops the battery from charging and the other stops it from discharging.

cmnybo, to linux in What would be the best way for me to recover data from my old laptop's hard drive, which seems to have a bad superblock?

The hard drive should be connected by SATA or eSATA when making the image. Connecting over USB is just asking for more trouble when the drive is not working correctly.

cmnybo, to linux in Laptop with long runtime

I still get over 12 hours of web browsing or video playback with the backlight around 30% on mine even though my internal battery is down to 60% capacity and my external is around 90%. Standby drains about 10% overnight. I am running Linux Mint on mine and I set up TLP. Undervolting can increase the runtime quite a bit, but I haven’t bothered with that yet.

cmnybo, to linux in Reminder to clear your ~/.cache folder every now and then

You could have a cronjob run something like find /home/user/.cache -type f -atime +30 -delete, which would find files that haven’t been accessed in the last 30 days and delete them. Make sure your home partition is not mounted with the noatime option though.

cmnybo, to linux in Linux Mint - Screenshot annoyance

With the MATE screenshot tool, you can set a timer and set it to either capture the active window or the whole desktop. It will capture context menus when using the timer.

cmnybo, to linux in Basic fonts

Many fonts have a license that allows them to be embedded in a pdf. Newer fonts usually have a flag that tells the software if the font can be embedded or not, not all software respects that flag though. Older fonts don’t have the flag and will embed even if you are not allowed to embed them.

cmnybo, to selfhosted in Minisforum MS-01 announced. 2x10g sfp+, 2x2.5gbe, pci slot, 3xm2 slots. 2xUSB4 40g. What do we think?

That is strange that they would have size limit for the SSD. Maybe it only supports single sided M.2 drives, but if that’s the case, they should have just said it.

cmnybo, to askelectronics in USB Cable check

There are simple testers like this. It’s rather overpriced for what it is, but it would be trivial to make one yourself. That will only do a continuity check though. If you want to know what the current or speed ratings are, you will need to read the chip in the cable.

cmnybo, to linux in Friendly reminder

Timeshift works best if you use BTRFS for your root partition because snapshots can be taken instantly. I have mine setup to automatically take a snapshot every day.

cmnybo, to selfhosted in Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]

Power consumption is the main issue. If it’s an old, power hungry desktop and you live somewhere with expensive electricity, it can be quite costly to run. If you have an energy efficient desktop or have cheap power then it will be fine. Just make sure it has a good quality power supply if it’s going to run 24/7.

cmnybo, to linux in your stance on image compression and/ or avif/jxl?

I always shoot in raw+jpeg with the jpeg quality set to 100%. The raw files have a higher dynamic range and there is little or no processing done to them. The files are large, but storage space is cheap these days. The jpeg files are for convenience and if I don’t like the way they come out, I can process the raw file however I want and export it to whatever format is most suitable for what I’m using it for.
