My look at the Framework 16 (techthreads.com.au)

FW16 Backpack (aussie.zone)

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a backpack that comfortably fits the FW16, especially with the GPU installed. I received my FW16 last week, have spent the week trying to find a backpack that fits. I had a few that came close, but all were either uncomfortably tight on the GPU or far too tight on the edges (i.e. not likely to offer much drop protection). I eventually landed on the STM Dux 30L. It is designed for up to a 17" laptop, which seems to work well for the FW16's deep GPU. Hopefully if someone else is in the same boat I've just saved them some research. It is an expensive backpack however. That part still makes me cry.

After the 3.03b Beta it looks like the release version is out. Good news for people with USB-PD charging issues. My own anecdotal experience: I have a few USB-PD chargers that refused to handshake with with my FW13s including one big Satechi unit. Since the update all are working happily.

Tried a few options, really wanted a soft case. Can't speak highly enough for the think tank case, it fits just right and can accommodate the ethernet module too.

Loving the continuous transparency from Framework. Bought one for myself, when my father needed a new laptop got him onto the framework bandwagon. Now my wife has informed me to start budgeting - she wants one next year. Their behaviour to date is why I'm willing to get behind them & their products.

How performant does it need to be? What's the nature of the read/write behaviour? If it fits the profile of "fast USB drive" then you could potentially get away with 2 of these (https://frame.work/au/en/products/storage-expansion-card?v=FRACCFBZ02) configured in software raid and boot your OS off the internal nvme. That said, I feel you'd get more mileage with a second hand (and cheap!) micro PC for your paperless instance and save the framework as a laptop

Couldn't be any happier. Now to put it through its paces over the coming days.

Go for the pain tier (even though it's FOSS) 100% worth it.

The DM1.12 has become my favourite hiking and night walking light due to its flexibility. SST-20 4000K on both channels.

Also as a Reddit refugee I'm so happy to see this community here. Glad to see you here too /u/zak

Great recommendation on AnonAddy. I know what I'll be seeing up tonight.

Have one. My email address is firsname@firstnamesurname.com. I work in tech so it really seems to generate the right impression on my resume.

When I was 15, my dad purchased me a plaster saw (still have it) and handed me his drill.

Then told me to make it look neat, but "don't fuck up because your mother will kill us both".

I ran about 4 network points through the house.

Nothing like fear to produce a 100% perfect finish 😉

Hi all, a shout-out for assistance. I’m considering hosting a Lemmy instance (assuming I can pass the wife test on costs) and I’m looking for some guidance on specs.

Can anyone who’s currently hosting an instance (or who knows the inner workings of one) please reply with:

  • specs on the hardware / VPS that’s hosting your instance
  • how many users / posts that’s supporting
  • what the system load looks like with the above
  • if locally hosting, the type of bandwidth requirements you’re seeing

I previously posted this in the wrong community, and one of the responses asked how many users I'm expecting. To preemptively answer - I don't know. I'm just trying to get an idea of relative sizing.

Thank you!!
