If I understand, that collection is missing a lot from the original. I could be wrong though.

TheTrove was a collection of tabletop RPG books and magazines going back decades that has never had a decent replacement yet. It was fairly well organized and quite complete with tons of obscure games and out of print books. It had a different name or two before that but the collection always migrated somewhere until The Trove was finally shut down. I really miss that collection, even though I’ve managed to track down most of what I needed, it has been much more difficult since the shutdown.

Diskprices is great for comparing price per terabyte across different brands.

Hard drive or floppy?

Is there a way to temporarily disable tracking for circumstances such as this when you loan your keys or something?

I suppose not, or people would disable it and then re-enable it later, unless they require proximity or some other protection against that.

But if AI learns from us…

Forgot about the phone, you’ll never guess what I call that one…

When you have a lot of devices like my family, it just makes everything easier to give descriptive names like that.

Lastname-Server

I know, I’m boring. But at least my laptop and desktop have cool names:

Firstname-Laptop

Firstname-Desktop

Same here. I’ve never had a reason to switch away.

Alrewdy can. At least through Home Assistant, can even be set as your default assistant on Android through the HA companion app

I just integrated it into Home Assistant last week and it can now control my lights and tell me temperature in different rooms and interact with any smart devices in my home, in addition to everything regular ChatGPT can do. I also integrated elevenlabs voice so it sounds like a posh British gentleman. Then I named him Jarvis of course.

It’s been pretty entertaining, but more of a gimmick than truly useful.

the developer’s an ass

I have a total of 48 TB across 4 HDD, plus the system SSD on my old desktop, now just server. It’s unfortunately running windows, because I haven’t had the time to reinstall everything from scratch yet even though I’ve intended to for years.

Anyway, I just run Backblaze for backup on it, except one drive which is important photos/files and that gets an extra backup to a RPi using Syncthing. The other drives are all downloaded media that could be replaced given enough time, but Backblaze backs up my whole PC and hasn’t complained about the size yet. I thought for sure they’d cut me off or something, but nope still just paying $99/year for a single PC backup.

You have 20 seconds to comply.
