Yeah you try that. Your trial isn’t going to take 4 years.

…or as I’ve come to call it grep+linux

The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.

because the billionaires can fight back

my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on

sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things

my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.

figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.

I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.

and they’re not wrong.

I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.

probably life or execution

if maximum sentence was like 3 years or something I’m sure he’d have bought his own plane ticket

I got my first mac a few years back off the side of the road, a 2009 imac that didn’t work. I went to a lot of trouble to find and install the most up to date mac os I could get on it for the challenge and because I’d never used a intel mac before.

Believe me, they absolutely did just flick a switch. everything about steam worked fine until the day it didn’t even load up. removing support is one thing, actively bricking your product is a total scum fuck move that is just common practice in gaming now.

making it difficult to use your product seems like a bad business decision tbh

check that you have at least cat6 cables everywhere and that they are not connected into a slow ethernet port somewhere. MY old wifi router only had a single 10mb/s connection for some reason and it took me a solid minute to figure that shit out. if everything is going through wifi something more complicated is happening and I would first check you’re channel isn’t overlapping any neighbors signals and that you’re not trying to put 5g through any walls.

and you always hear good things about them. if it was a stand alone device it could easily be someones first apple product.

Don’t you need an apple device to even sign into it though?

The Apple ecosystem is pretty bad when you only have the 1 thing.

How many diverse representational check boxes are drug out on the street and shot so they can sell their uninteresting dross in China?

They don’t have values they have a marketing strategy; and it’s because of that marketing strategy that those check boxes are totally 1 dimensional, boring, and replaceable.

Actual diversity doesn’t look or feel like a personal attack.
Go watch She-ra and tell me the gay dads aren’t integral to Bow’s character and try to tell me that isn’t the exception to the vast majority of cardboard cutouts whose ONLY character trait is a single DEI check box.

THEY CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

I bought that dollar suitcase too, but it was in Europe so the postage meant it was just an empty suitcase.

Every employer has a place called home; and it’s likely flammable.

communal bathrooms are fucking stupid and anyone who doesn’t feel safe has an option

you know that single occupant toilet with the handrail? it doesn’t see a lot of use …

that sounds a lot like incitement, see you in 10 to never.

except you don’t know what you’re buying.

the fact it’s typically cheaper than buying the naked drive should tell you everything you need to know about the risk involved.

just a dice you don’t need to roll

my longest running drive is a WD. probably the same vintage with less uptime.

shucked

oh you are dancing with the devil. not sure there’s a way to check actual SMART data in Synology’s OS but I would be very interested in those logs.

I’ve found over the years that the second I think about backing up the drive is about to fail.

I would update to a 4bay and invest in actual NAS drives. (and I will personally be looking for 10gbe lan but this isn’t homelab)

RAID 0 naturally

combustion engines get better every year too. Engineers love optimizing what’s already there.

A breakthrough by it’s nature isn’t just a marginal improvement.

They’re not hiding their shame they’re hiding them from people like you. You’ll notice that the actual Nazi isn’t blurred out.

I have some recently insane family members and I’d very much appreciate if the media blurred my image if I appeared in any photos with them.

I play a dude IRL so why would I do the exact same thing when I’m trying to escape from reality?

welcome to the fediverse. Boost = retweet ;)

I think you just solved the housing crisis because this lives rent free in my head

if buying isn’t owning piracy isn’t stealing

Of course I don’t know enough about the actual proof for it to be anything but a joke but there are infinite numbers so there should be infinite proofs.

there are also meme proofs out there I assume could be given a Gödel number easily enough.

ChatGPT what is the Gödel number for the proof of 2+2=5?
