you can do it. Its far more likely the fans are just all dusted up than the paste went bad.

I just repasted my lappy, and it's much happier now than after I dusted it.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Is there an ifixit guide for your particular laptop?

Dunno, but aftermarket support is usually pretty good.

I dust the fans semi-regularly and haven't seen a huge difference

you open it up and get all the internal blowers any everything?

cool cool. I know it can make a 3-5 degree difference on desktop stuff, but laptops are wayyy more compact.

Yeah, do an external job every couple months due to all the wildlife living in the house, and around once a year I'll tear the back cover off to get inside and blow it out.

I was getting random lockups under hard use (chrome + cura simultaneously, mostly). Haven't had one since.

I normally don't have an issue, even when using Solidworks, but I start gaming (especially with modded games) and I can't even hold it on my lap. Start seeing low 80s *C for the CPU and GPU is maybe 5 degrees warmer, but never gets into the 90s.

I try to game with a board or something under the laptop in order to ensure my pants aren't blocking the vents.

Yeah, I was well up into the 110-120°C range.

Shit, I thought 95 was when most of them started throttling power?

IDK, this is a mac, so who the fuck knows when Jobs' reality distortion field starts fluctuating.

I need level 0 Docker help. I need to update my local container from one tag to another.

Docker Hub

hub.docker.com

I'm running 'latest' currently, but need to switch to 'test3'. Anyone got any idea?

docker pull mi-container:test3

Doesn't work?

Maybe I really don't understand this docker shit at all. Doing that would update the image that my running container is using?

I'm pretty sure you'll have to rebuild and redeploy whatever container you're running with mi-container in it.

If you wanted to do that automatically you'd have to be a level or two up in kubernetes or helm, that handle versioned docker applications.

 

[Valve1138]

Just use format c: /y

 

[Jehannum]

To get mi-container:test3 into your container, you'll have to edit the dockerfile to specify the tag.

FROM mi-container:test3

RUN ./flys-tiny-dingus.sh

then you can rebuild your image and deploy it.

IFTTT doesn't seem to be working with Craigslist. Grrrrr, how am I supposed to find a new car??

The old fashioned way. Go to a junkyard and buy another piece of shit.

Got my fancy PowerShell script to migrate files FIFO from NVME > magnetic drives up and running.

Drive hits 80% utilization and it will migrate files off until it either gets to 60% or 200 files moved (200 file limit needed for SnapRAID helper).
