@npub1q5l…ywp3 You'd think it would be really helpful to know how tall the system is with the hat on.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 seriously!

Can anyone out there give me an idea of how tall a Pi4B is with the official PoE hat on it? I don't currently own anything PoE but I'm designing an enclosure and want to be forward thinking.

I'm looking at getting a wrap for my laptop but am having difficulty deciding between two. My question to you all, which of the two would you choose? Triangles or carbon fiber?

After learning recently that my local library has a 3D printer I can use, I decided to teach myself some basic Freecad and designed this case for my Inovato Quadra boards.
I need to design something else now. I've been bit with the 3D printing bug. This is so much fun.

@npub1e2p…aqmc my current laptop has both Intel and Nvidia mx130 running w/ Pop!_OS. I can tell it which to use - typically the Intel for the power / heat - and it just works that way so if you're able to specify in Gnome and it appears to be functioning as intended then I'd say you're probably fine.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 I'll be upfront about my biases here - I'm generally not a fan of hosting providers so I apologize that I'm not answering the exact question asked. If it were me, I'd setup my own server on DigitalOcean (they have a datacenter in Toronto) and likely get better performance.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 I actually never played Dune back in the day - never had a copy. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent playing C&C though in my 1st year of college.

2023-12-05 17:02:12

Finally decided to try out OpenRA last night (C&C and Red Alert were some of my all-time most favorite games). Today, I dug out my old optical disks & USB drive to install the music & briefing videos.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 the reason I even questioned it was thinking that having the "support" section on the left would make it more likely to be seen - seeing as 80%+ of my traffic is desktop. But, I just really don't like the way the site looks when it's there.

@npub1q5l…ywp3 that was the main question I was dealing with. I prefer it on the right but part of my brain was trying to logic it on the left.

2023-09-18 18:19:48

@npub1q5l…ywp3 Not currently as I have it configured. The white "secondary sidebar" is hidden on phones. Both sidebars collapse on tablets. I'll get a screenshot.

2023-09-18 18:18:59

- reply

@npub1q5l…ywp3 I'm aware. WordPress is my day job lol. I'm trying to keep the amt of work as low as possible and not redesign the theme entirely if I can avoid it.

2023-09-18 18:14:53

- reply

@npub1q5l…ywp3 it responds really well actually on mobile. The theme is built for the sidebar to be on either side such that I don't have to adjust anything for mobile. Worth noting is that 80%+ of my traffic is on desktop so it's not something I'm overly stressed over either.

2023-09-18 15:01:13

SOLICITING OPINIONS
I'm in the middle of redesigning the Tech Addressed website and I'd appreciate getting some outside opinions on something I'm having a hard time making a decision.
What are your thoughts on having the one sidebar on the left vs both on the right?
