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.

Never had any issues with the unit. As mentioned I have an old 4x4 with an aftermarket head unit (Sony XAV-AX5000) and have never experienced any audio issues. This car is our family "adventure vehicle" so we use it for long road trips and camping adventures - in short when it gets driven it's often for a longer multi-hour journey, with music playing the whole way

    No stress, glad I pointed you down a hopefully workable path. Good luck mate 😉 And yes the US tax. Purchased mine from Amazon US, I'm down in Australia. Even with the higher cost it has been an absolute joy even with my single-phone use case.

    I haven't tried the multiple phone song and dance on the unit. It lives in my old 4x4 which my wife refuses to drive.

    We do have a similar issue with our other car however '05 Subaru Forester (non Android Auto). It randomly connects phones - as in I can be sitting in the car, start up to go somewhere and the car connects to my wife's phone while she and it are in the house. The only reliable option I've found (only practical if we're both in the car) is to quickly tap Bluetooth off on one phone before starting the car. If your Honda is starting with a Bluetooth connection, then I'm guessing the same solution should work.

    OK, my title may be a bit incendiary... But I've about had it with the recent constant parade of articles calling for "return to the office" as a cure for everything. It's almost like the Murdoch press has a vested interest? Anyway, we're in a cost of living crisis and we're calling to lump everyone with higher travel, and food costs all over again. So much for work life balance. If everyone does return to their offices will the press start running fluff articles about all the suburban cafes and restaurants that are suffering now that their local post-pandemic foot traffic is stuck back in the city?

     

    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!!
