I don’t believe for a second his family is holding the bag.

Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.

And nothing of value was lost.

That’s pretty good though! I kept reading about it how much power video cards draw. I need to get some measurements in under various load with mine. The big part is obviously drives.

Those are good. I got tired of dealing with the unique trouble that comes of having drives attached with a USB JBOD. Also it was just a celeron and kinda melted doen if I ran motion detection with Scrypted.

Idle. Under load a bit more. It’s a mobile chipset, so it is efficient. Not as powerful as a desktop for sure but totally handles my basic workloads.

My NAS draws about 25w (without drives). Show me an old PC with 6 3.5” drive bays that draws 25w.

It’s surprisingly difficult to get that treatment.

Just compost me. Throw my body into the green cart. Why do I need to spend so much money?

“Why aren’t the proles making babies? I specifically requested it!”

It’s utter madness that healthcare professionals are allowed to work (in many countries) longer than truck drivers. It’s even more ridiculous that many countries have a medical doctor internship program that is designed by an absolute cocaine fiend assigning 30 hour days - and see nothing wrong with it.

You’re getting food on Black Friday special!? Lucky you.

Bezos’ mantra is cut, cut, cut and squeeze. Everything and everyone. Then ask for more. He’s the kind of guy who searches the backpacks of office workers on the way out, even when they’re being paid $200k a year. There’s middle managers all around the world who look at him as an idol. They’re awful people.

Saved this for later.

Are (over)pants underpants if you don’t wear something under them?

Hard SPF and DKIM enforcement helps.

IOUs backed in turn by IOUs

I just learned about this yesterday. Haven’t found out if my previous backup solution also has become encrypted. The cloud backup, I understand. But… I don’t have much going on there that’s sensitive. Family locations? I guess…

On demand recirculating works reasonably well but only for people who tolerate it. Push button, wait 3 min, water hot. It works for me but I know it’s way too much trouble for other people. It saves water and energy.

I’ve pushed the limits of the SAF a few times.

Noting that I could buy a new NAS every year with what we save on not Netflix is helpful occasionally.

It’s cheaper to build a new server. Cloud… just isn’t cheap. Makes sense for accounting purposes and business reliability standards to a degree but not much for home use.

This happened to me:

1. I need a server for my Linux ISO backuos
2. i want to be able to automatically turn in a thing but only when it needs to be on. I guess i need Homeassistant.

Now my whole family relies on this underpowered house of cards.

“Good” software based RAID (unraid, zfs, etc.) needs reliable access directly to the drives. Usually, USB attached storage doesn’t meet this criteria.

Not using RAID is risky unless you’re very confident in your extensive backups (which you should have anyways).

Personally I have been using a mini PC running TrueNAS with a JBOD over USB3.1 for years and have had some hiccups but nothing catastrophic, but I’m migrating it soon to a device I can use SATA.

Hardware raid is typically not a great idea because you’re usually tied to the chip.
