In-reply-to » My desktop computer developed a really annoying vibration-induced buzzing sound a few months ago after I added some hard drives to it. It was one of these where it'd be more or less quiet, and then all of a sudden a buzzing would start. If you tapped the case, it often made the buzzing stop.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I knew from the get go it was going to be an annoying thing to track down, which is was, but that made it take even longer because I avoided trying.

My desktop computer developed a really annoying vibration-induced buzzing sound a few months ago after I added some hard drives to it. It was one of these where it’d be more or less quiet, and then all of a sudden a buzzing would start. If you tapped the case, it often made the buzzing stop.

One by one I went through my components, and the day before yesterday I finally identified the guilty party, one particular HDD. Currently I have the case open and a piece of cardboard jammed under the drive in its tray. The computer has not buzzed since I did that, so it looks to me like securing that drive better will finally end this madness-inducing sound.

Wild that it takes so long to track down something like this and figure out what to do about it.

In-reply-to » I am playing some ambient music that begins with a sound that's a bit like the drone of an airplane engine, and I spent a good minute or two adjusting the volume wondering why the music wasn't playing because I thought it was a plane🤦‍♂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that could definitely be a track in an ambient song, no question whatsoever.

The exhaust is amazingly soothing to look at, even though it’d vaporize your entire being in milliseconds if you were anywhere near it.

**RT by @mind_booster: Highlights from IPCC report:

  • The world’s on track to hit above 3°C of warming by 2100.
  • Emissions must peak by 2025 and nearly halve by 2030 to keep warming to 1.5°C

** I read some books in 2022, and have some thoughts about computer science writing **
At the start of this year I set out to revive my long dead reading habit. After having kids it fell by the wayside. I’ve read 41 books so far this year. Mostly a mix of science fiction and nonfiction computer science books. Here’s the complete list of everything I’ve read. I’ve got mixed feelings about keeping track and sharing cou … ⌘ Read more

Erlang Solutions: Change data capture with Postgres & Elixir
CDC is the process of identifying and capturing data changes from the database.

With CDC, changes to data can be tracked in near real-time, and that information can be used to support a variety of use cases, including auditing, replication, and synchronisation.

A good example of a use case for CDC is to consider an application which inserts a record into the database and pushes an event to a message queue after the record has … ⌘ Read more

I use Firefox as my preferred web browser both on PCs and my phone. One extension is always installed: uBlock Origin. The web is so much nicer with all the ads and tracking removed. But today I also retried an extension that will probably join the “must install” list: DarkReader. Especially when I’m browsing the web on my phone in the early morning, I don’t like to be blinded by white websites. Since March DarkReader has finally an option to detect if a website already has a dark theme and only apply it’s color chan … ⌘ Read more
