I'm about to have to replace my trusty Miller 225 mig welder. I think I would like a TIG for finer detail welding. I rarely weld anything thicker than 1/8". But I'm on a mac-n-cheese budget right now. Are any of the sub $500 TIG machines actually worth it?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.

Is that worth the time/effort to swap over? It seems to me it would be, but when I search around for info I get conflicting opinions. So any input/insight is appreciated.

Edit: Thank y'all very much! I think I was overthinking single threaded performance.

Found this in the attic of a house built a few years before Oklahoma's statehood. Looks old, but also looks like a reproduction of something old. It's at least old enough to be super brittle and has tannin staining on the back where it was mounted to a piece of wood for a LONG time.

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked recently but I can't find it while searching.

Are there any web based lemmy clients (like alexandrite) out there that allow post filtering by keyword? I'm not as concerned about filtering comments, but that would be nice as well.

And if it has to be an app, any suggestions for a linux desktop?

PC A and B are running Fedora 41, both on the same local network. I used to be able to use KRDC to remote desktop from PC A to B. After letting both PCs update a couple weeks ago, it's no longer working. When I try, I get the username and password prompt. But after entering, I get a "Could not connect to server" error in KRDC. I get the following errors in the terminal:

Unfortunately I don't know what update broke it. I just hit 'update all' and walked away. Thanks for any help. Also open to suggestions on any better remote desktop programs.

Mutually Assured Destruction

Looks like he's getting lined up on a bun sized starting gate.

Moving soon, gonna miss you buns. While I'm pretty sure I could catch them all. I don't think moving in then releasing a bunch of wild rabbits into the neighborhood is a good way to say hello.

I can't read instructions and ended up with an extra from eneba. I'm too lazy for the refund process; But I will trade it for a photo of your pet, or the neighbors pet, or a bird that hangs out in your yard, favorite garden spider, etc. As long as you are willing to sign an affidavit stating you have given this animal pets or made friendly noises in it's direction. First message meeting this criteria gets it. Only have one, Sorry.

Stipulation: Must have posted/commented to any SDF community before this post was created.

He never sleeps. He never stops.

I probably should mow my lawn.

{edit]: that's not a bun. My life has been a lie. Is it? IDEK anymore.

OK technically only one bun in the photo.

This reproduction piece of minitruckin history could be yours. New in box. Free! Just pay shipping (probably 60ish in the conus) or send me a shipping label so I don't have to throw this away.

Sorry for the blurry photo. I had a leash in both hands.

No buns were harmed. Or even startled too bad.

Anyone interested should definitely contact Stitt to let him know we support HB1425 so that our children will have the choice to attend the Hellion Academy of Independent Learning and receive proper school credits.

The Satanic Temple is once again announcing plans for the Sooner State after a bill was sent to the governor’s desk which could allow students to receive class credits for religious and moral instruction off school campuses.

House Bill 1425 would force school districts to adopt a policy which allows students to go off-campus to attend a religious or moral instruction course taught by an independent entity. The student would be allowed to miss up to three class periods per week to attend such a course.

Instructors of these courses would not need to be licensed or certified teachers.

...

In response to the bill being one step away from becoming the state’s newest law, The Satanic Temple is highlighting their own learning academy that Oklahoma students could use to possibly earn school credit.

In a post on social media, the religious group stated their Hellion Academy of Independent Learning (HAIL) could soon be available for Oklahoma students.

“The Satanic Temple believes that public schools should be free from religious influence,” the post said. “We are, however, prepared to ensure our members’ children receive the same opportunities as those participating in other religion’s programs. By not vetoing HB 1425, Governor Stitt will allow the state to grant elective credit for religious and morality classes taught by The Satanic Temple, making it possible for parents to invite TST’s HAIL program to their local public schools as soon as this fall.”

My mouse won't stop constantly scrolling and a replacement is a couple days away. How can I temporarily disable the scroll wheel? All the instructions I can find deal with xorg or xinput which I do not have. I can't find any scroll wheel setting in either settings or piper.

Optionally just being able to disable it in firefox would save my sanity.

Thanks for any help.
