 —  | Tech |

VS Code Plugin

Paste Image is a VS Code plugin that allows you to paste images into md documents. It's currently on version 1.0.4 with over 226,000 downloads.

For complete details visit the VS Code marketplace.

The only downside is it was last updated on 01/23/2019.

Ideas on how to setup

  • settings --> pasteimage
    • for setting path and filename options
    • pastes image into current_document_folder/images
    • prepends documentname_ to image name
    • pastes formatted md url at cursor in current
  • change the keyboard shortcut
    • I use ctrl-v to paste image from clipboard

Setting Up a Developer Environment Using Docker

 —  | Link |

A Docker-based Dev Environment The dev environment I wish to build will be based on Linux. Frequently, I wish to quickly spin up a Linux environment for fun and dev. Although a VM is awesome, I want something lighter, something that spins up instantly at almost zero cost. And I want something that, if I left it running, I wouldn't even notice.

Docker images always start from a base image. The reason I picked Linux is because Linux comes with the most stripped-down bare-bones starter image. This means that all of the images I build on top of it will be light too, and I get to pick exactly what I want.

Link aggregation - Wikipedia

 —  | Link |

In computer networking, link aggregation is the combining (aggregating) of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods, in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail, or both. A link aggregation group (LAG) is the combined collection of physical ports.

Link Aggregation | DSM - Synology Knowledge Center

 —  | Link |

Synology NAS supports multi-LAN, allowing you to combine those LAN interfaces using the Link Aggregation technology. Link Aggregation increases the bandwidth of your Synology NAS by aggregating multiple network interfaces and provides traffic failover to maintain network connection in case the connection is down. After your LAN interfaces are combined, you will see a new interface named Bond at Control Panel > Network > Network Interface, which could be configured as you would with other interfaces (such as LAN or PPPoE).

HOW TO CONFIGURE LINK AGGREGATION ON NAS SYNOLOGY. – Techbast

 —  | Link |

Adaptive Load Balancing: This mode optimizes the network traffic received and sent by Synology NAS devices regardless of whether Link Aggregation is enabled or not. To avoid unexpected circumstances, do not enable Link Aggregation even though it is supported. IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation: This mode optimizes network traffic received and sent by Synology NAS devices, which requires IEEE 802.3ad (Dynamic) Link Aggregation (LACP, 802.1AX) to be enabled on the Switch , and if multiple switches are used, they must be properly stacked and configured. Balance XOR: This mode will balance the network traffic received and sent by Synology NAS devices, this mode requires Static Link Aggregation to be enabled on the Switch. If multiple switches are used, they must be properly stacked and configured. If the switch does not support Link Aggregation, the traffic by the Synology NAS device is still balanced. With this mode. disconnection can be identified but not the cause (For example, when an Ethernet cable is not connected or the switch has a configuration error). Active / Standby: This mode will provide error correction, that is, when one network connection is disconnected or the connection is unstable, the other one will take charge as the main connection. You can choose this configuration whether or not the switch configuration supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation.

How to Set Up Link Aggregation on a Synology NAS (LACP) in 2022

 —  | Link |

Link Aggregation (LACP) will allow you to increase the bandwidth TO and FROM your Synology NAS. In summary, this will allow more clients to send data to and from your NAS without decreased performance. To be clear, this will not double the network speed for a single client.

(31) Why Machines That Bend Are Better - YouTube

 —  | Link |

I visited the Compliant Mechanisms Research group at Brigham Young University and spoke to Professor Larry Howell: https://www.compliantmechanisms.byu.edu

At the above link, you can download 3D-print files to make some of the objects in the video, plus learn more about compliant mechanisms.

What I learned about compliant mechanisms I summarize in the 8 P's of compliant mechanisms:

  1. Part count (reduced by having flexible parts instead of springs, hinges)
  2. Productions processes (many, new, different enabled by compliant designs)
  3. Price (reduced by fewer parts and different production processes)
  4. Precise Motion (no backlash, less wear, friction)
  5. Performance (no outgassing, doesn't require lubricant)
  6. Proportions (reduced through different production processes)
  7. Portability (lightweight due to simpler, reduced part count designs)
  8. Predictability (devices are reliable over a long period of time)
