  • Yeah thats tough. I hate when they do that. The beauty is, it doesnt matter. Usually I just drop a mid number and agile seems to give the flexibility to change that as you identify the true scope of work. Do what you can in the sprint, but eventually update the points to match or break it up and adjust points best you can at that point. Given I haven’t been doing agile long, so I could be missunderstanding how it should work.

  • I had a similar issue with a SAS drive In the backplane of a dell server. I thought for sure the drive was failing. Reseated it, cleaned the ports, ran some tests, just kept failing without any obvious signs why it was. Replaced it with a spare and same issue. That seemed very unlikely, so I put the old drive in another slot and its still running just fine going on 2 years without an issue. If you have another toaster give it a try.

    The market is rife with cheapo junk tech. Ive seen several crapo off brand drive toasters fail, so thats possible. I don’t know the brand of yours so I can’t speak to them.

    It could also just be the power supply for the toaster is crapping out, or doesn’t provide enough amperage. Those power supplies dont always keep providing the same amount of power forever, sometimes it drops over time, and that could be the cause too. Or they could be poorly made, meaning they probably drop in even short time periods.

    If you have another power supply with the same voltage and higher amperage, you could try that. You could also try running only one drive in there and see if it keeps failing, if no issues, you could try the other drive and see if that one has issues. If that one doesn’t have issues either it could indicate power issues.




  • I know this is necroing, but i’ve had one of “the perfect water” systems going on 2 years. The under the sink system can have UV light to reduce potential bacteria. Its reverse osmosis and multi stage, with a mineral stage. It has a staging tank thats pressurized so you get decent flow for like 3 gallons of water or something like that. It can have an attachment to go to your fridge even.

    Literally the best water I’ve ever had, I’d never go back.

    Changing filters is a little annoying, but you do it once a year and it took me all of 10 minutes. The reverse osmosis filter is every 2 years. You only ever put bleach on the tanks nipple like once a year and less than a spoon full. The longest part was draining and refilling the tank like 3 times to get the filters and tank primed after filter change.

    They do whole house filters too.

  • I prefer distros if available, but in some cases the version in the distros can suck. A solid example, and this could 100% be user error, but I used aur to get Picard on my tablet, but there was no app menu bar. Like at all, no window settings in the world made a difference, and the global menu didn’t show anything either. So I couldn’t change settings at all. I removed the aur package and installed the flatpak, everything worked no problem.

    Flatpaks are okay, but due to laziness, I’m not proficient with making them interact well with each other.

    App images can be great, but also annoying depending on how your system handles them. On a Debian based machine it would “install” the app image as if it were a normal app, and in some cases even check for updates. In garuda I have to manually go to the file and execute it each time. I’m no Linux master, so I could probably do something in garuda to make it work similar to Debian, but I only have one app there that I care about and I’m lazy…

    I don’t like snaps, they seem finicky to me.

    If the Dev has their own recommended source, package, or whatever I try to stick to that. I.e. if they say their focus is on an app image, but aur has it, and there’s a flatpak, and x y z options, I’ll try the app image, and if that does what I need it to, I stick with it. If they recommend snap I try to find another app or another option to install.
