At a minimum, a screw drive is a set of shaped cavities and protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it. Usually, it also involves a mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it. Some of the less-common drives are classified as being "tamper-resistant".
Most heads come in a range of sizes, typically distinguished by a number, such as "Phillips #00".

=== Slot ===
Slot screw drives have a single horizontal indentation (the slot) in the fastener head and is driven by a "common blade" or flat-bladed screwdriver. ...
I've been meaning to try and grind an old flat-blade screwdriver into a hollow-grind. Just to see if its possible.
I was looking for one for some furniture and I ended up just using a phillips
speaking of that....
next project for me is apparently putting a set of budget audiophile equipment feet on my TV stand so that my vaccum cleaner will stop trying to climb it ._.
heh my next projects are * clean, reassemble sawbench and tune it * Build a dust collector box for my cheap plastic cyclone * build an enclosure for a 12" speaker as a sub. * Make a cross cut sled or a mitre fence
I was tempted to go that way - move all my work to VMs and run them across a cluster of mini lunchboxes with the iscsi SAN in the backend. But right now I need to work on the mortgage.
my storage server was kickstartered so waiting on that (and I think if I was doing it now ugreen has some interesting ones) and the VM nodes/disposaboxen are ~70-80 bucks a pop
i do want to try to move/consolidate/downsize my dedi and host some stuff at home
yah - its always memory that's the issue though... Current server is 512 GB ram, and the replacement is only 64 GB. All the little hosts I found were 8 GB, or maybe 16 GB Not enough for a useful VM server
these are the 'additional' boxen I have on order - probably will end up replacing the absolutely geriatric utility linux box with one or using it to play with a proxmox cluster or other fun stuff
@Criggie that's one thing I don't need to worry about. My apartment is fully paid off :D
Nice ! I was looking at HP and Dell and Lenovo like this: https://nzpcclearance.co.nz/product/lenovo-thinkcentre-p330-tiny-pc-i5-8500t/ But $500 NZ is $404 SG and it still needs a lot of ram
I think the current dedi is 64gb and runs a few webapps
but pretty sure I can move most of what's in the dedi into one of those cheap chinisum boxen for now, and I have a SFF NAS coming in that's got a slightly potato processor
Definitelyt managed - I use ~5 vlans at home. I've got 32 x 10g ports now, but could drop to 8~10 for the noise gain. For most things, gigabit is fine. But VMs and iscsi likes more
Intel 520 chipset, and its on the motherboard right at the back. There was enough airflow with the 4 stock case fans at 16k RPM, but running 8x noctuas was not enough airflow, and the box shut down with a critical overheat.
So, I put one of the noctuas directly on the heatsink for the NIC and it works fine now.
