When I was over there, a Korean friend had me try this 41% craft soju and it was perhaps the tastiest spirit I've ever had. I liked it so much I ordered it again in Germany this week. In a much smaller bottle, and for way too much money of course... @psc have you heard of this?

Because I only have one PCIe power cable, I'm doing something slightly cursed: I'm putting the "wrong" end of the P8 connector I have into the other PCIe power slot to get power out of that. Because the colour coding on this connector doesn't match the PCIe […] [Original post on chaos.social]

P8 cable with PSU end (yellow) and mainboard end (black). I put the black end into the PCIe power connector on the PSU instead.

It comes with a 6+2 pin / 6 pin PCIe power splitter. I only need one of these; as far as I understand, both have 3x12V connections. I snipped off the 6 pin here, I'll use the leftover cables as extensions. 4/?

First, to check whether everything is working as expected, I short the "PS_ON" pin on the ATX connector (otherwise the PSU doesn't do anything), then check the voltage on the CPU connector (4+4 pin) 3/?

First off, thank you to @virbonus for providing me with the PSU! The idea is pretty simple: combine the different 12V rails from the power supply into a single connection for high(er) current. This power supply has 4 12V rails spread across multiple pins that […] [Original post on chaos.social]

10th (and 11th, I suppose) concert(s) of the year: Karlmer & Wax Bird @ unifest Karlsruhe I watched all of the bands that day play for a little bit, but for these sets I stayed from start to finish. I appreciate unifest for being such a cheap opportunity to learn about new bands!
