  • I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.

    I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.

    How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.

    Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.


  • I’m sure i read that some places prohibit treated timber going into ground if the chemicals might leech into water courses - New Zealand maybe??

    Very oily wood like Cedar should last ok , but not forever.

    Plywood, I’d be very skeptical about - generally the cheap stuff has no chance if it gets wet. Maybe there’s expensive magical stuff that i can’t afford.

    PVC as suggested or stainless steel ground anchor or concrete fence posts would seem better.

    You could consider trying to bury chicken wire if you need to keep out the burrowing creatures.








  • There are other better answers here already.

    But you got me wondering, how red are red dwarfs really? Maybe they’re just like a few % more red than our sun, but I bet they’re still quite broad band.

    So you maybe could have a similar range of colour reflection and absorption. And maybe there’s enough R,G,B to saturate the receptors. I assume white is just that, when all color receptors are near saturated.

    The eyes might not need to differ much, the brain can probably do everything in post processing anyway. All evolution needs to do to your eyes is to gather enough raw data that your brain can learn to differentiate, food, water, danger, things to breed with, and so on.

    Maybe reduce the sensitivity of red receptor a wee bit, or maybe not, if plants are still absorbing lots of red, and we live amongst plants . . .



  • I was thinking about blendOS at some point - it seemed like a decent proposition the best way to stick with arch, but have the declarative and atomic bits, without going to a new nix thing that sound like a more extreme nerd cult.

    But I never did, I’m still mainly on Arch+XFCE or arch+kde, or debian+kde, or debian+xfce in my house.

    I think I didn’t do it because I’ve never really heard of BlendOS , no established track record. No one ever recommends it. So it might not still be there in 5 years, so I’d have to be sure it’d all still work if the project ended. Meh, too much bother to figure that out.

    If this promised deluge of PCs comes along soon i’ll maybe try it on a spare machine.

    I think most people will say go fedora due to track record - but i never liked it when i last used it - a long time ago.
