I know this is a meme /c, but for real, I bought this exact same product a while back. If this is your photo, just be careful about what you put on it. Mine lasted 2 months with a grape vine on it before it collapsed.

Mine lasted a year with grape vine before catastrophic structural collapse.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I’m really not sure how much of this thread is a joke. Wouldn’t you just use solid slats of wood?

[-] h0rnman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Lol. The wife wanted something decorative and liked how it looked. Caveat Emptor, and all that I suppose. I knew I was buying from a less-than-quality source

One definitely should use solid structures, metal or wooden. The damned thing cost ~10$ and I didn't have time to build a proper support structure at the moment. I meant to use it only as a temporary solution, which I forgot when everything was fine.

The design of the arch itself wasn't the problem. The interconnecting pipes were only 1-2mm thick, so there was no way it could possibly support the weight of a flourishing grape vine.

It was marketed as a "rose arch". I guess it could've handled this purpose without any problems.

Buy wrong stuff, suffer the consequences.

Just wanted to say we have one in our yard that has been there for almost 20-years. Previous owner left it to rot. I moved it close to some wild hops and they are covering it completely after two years. Still standing!

[-] 48954246@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ha, great tip. I'll keep an eye on it

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 1 year ago

It doesn’t look straight at all, there is a large bend.

[-] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 year ago

It is straight. There's just a big ol mass somewhere between the paper and us causing some gravitational lensing.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Should be piss easy if you followed the instructions, but people will just start connecting parts because "how hard can it be". Then they'll complain about how it's broken and how the instructions were bad lol.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exactly, so why are some people complaining Arch is hard?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There’s a pill for that.

Idk what the issue is:

  1. Unpack
  2. Install
  3. ?
  4. It just works

This used to involve profit.

It's all there, just RTFM!

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Hopefully this simplified manual will end all complaints that Arch is too complicated.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

There sure is a lot of screwing involved in Arch ...

[-] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

From my memories of the Arch linux labs in college, no there isn't...

Well, you see, the internet is a series of tubes...

Makes sense to me.

My only concern is that pipe c is shown as having two different shapes: straight and slightly curved.

Based on the fact that the design requires that a and b be different, there would undoubtedly be the same situation for the four slightly curved c pipes. That is, there would need to be two "c2" pipes and two "c3" pipes in the set rather than just four more of the same c pipe.

That makes me think the diagram at the bottom was made before a decision to cut costs and/or simplify. Four regular c pipes will undoubtedly be cheaper and logistically simpler to manage for both shipping and user construction than having those two extra pipe types.

It was, of course, relabelled to match the supplied parts, but the hints of the original design still remain.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Wow you are too hardcore Linux user for me to grasp what you mean. I suppose pipe is the new sound system though. But why the need for so many?
I wasn't even aware that level of abstraction was possible when talking about Linux, not even Arch.

[-] palordrolap@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pipewire? It's very new to me and can't say I know much about it, not that I knew much about its predecessors either.

...
(But putting the silliness hat on...)

The pipes in the diagram are obviously named pipes, but they're not Linux pipes. There seems to be not only multiple types (which is disturbingly Microsoft), but often multiple by the same name (which would confuse most sane OSes, if not the insane ones too.)

It's almost like they're instances of a subroutine object all running in parallel...

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

i assemble arch, btw

[-] confusedwiseman@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Read’s instructions: “Doesn’t seem that bad, what’s the issue?”

Sees: ‘Arch User Manual’

Notices community…

D’Oh!

[-] shadearg@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Four of them c parts lookin' a lil too curved...

For people that complain, remember that its still more sturdy and easier than assembling windows.

[-] Veneroso@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

If you have extra parts when you're done that's a compiler error, check your module dependencies.

If you're missing parts, check the forums, but this looks like a new system; that wifi chipset might be unsupported.

Metric? Somebody set the region settings wrong!

I'm not especially interested in Arch, but I'd like to know where the metal garden is 🤘

[-] FQQD@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Metal Garden sounds like a 2000s metal news website

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a 90s grunge band.

Or rather a really shitty ripoff of one.

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Metal Garden Arch - strangely works as a distro name as well I think

Step 1. Build it

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 5 points 1 year ago

I know the straight pipes move data between processes and curved pipes go to or from files depending on direction, but what do bolts do?

[-] Nilz@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

The bolts are libraries, if you remove them everything will collapse.

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I read that assembly instruction set provided. It doesn't look like any architecture I've ever seen.

"Some assembly required."

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ahh that sure is a fine looking metal garden arch.

WHY CAN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?!

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Have you looked on the Arch wiki for the Metal Garden package?

[-] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds pretty niche. You may have to check AUR.
