I have ship of thesiused the same NAS now for 15 years. Just get a hardware maintainance plan. The best bit is it gets cheaper annually.

I swear to god I need a browser plugin that marks the hexbear crowd with a warning sign that I’m about to read something incredibly stupid.

Yeah, I literally don’t know what market they’re chasing. I just want it to last ages, show the time, have alarms and let me pay for things and store my QR codes for store cards n’ shit. Thats it.

I specifically opted for the 2 days on my smasnug 5 pro over the prior pixel watch. idgaf about google assistant.

I’m surprised you (or anyone) uses facebook any more, its just full of boomers and hatred.

Deleting it and letting it fester without you (or I) was the best thing I did.

I mean that’s exactly what I did, I suppose.

I run Ubuntu Mate, and all my work shiz is containerised. But I also have more RAM than Jesus Christ himself. My laptop works fine and it has more modest RAM.

He’s right tho. That looks like a chinese market EV.

You have a delightful way with words, and you’re right.

No, this is the “new agression” design that has resulted from not needing a front radiator.

Cars are more agressively shaped than ever.

Cars should be more friend-shaped.

venlafaxine was amazing for me I just wish I could stay on it long term.

I need that lil’ shot of seratonin from orgasm too much.

One of the most fun side effects while on venlafaxine, was that I had infinite confidence to say absolutely filthy things without stuttering while flirting, and getting away with flirting way above my station. It was fun.

Other side effects were the shakes, and my head feeling like it was on a damped rubber gimble, every time I moved my head it felt like it took some time to get to the position I intended it to be.

And feeling like I was passenger in my own body.

10/10 would recommend until the orgasms went away.

Do you have any basis for this, or are you just running your mouth? A lack of links to cite your sources makes me suspect the latter. I’m happy to be wrong, however.

There is a grub argument to pass to the kernel that disables that renaming behaviour entirely.

greyscale, 10 months ago

Did a system upgrade overwrite your grub config?

Tell that to windows sysadmins. Windows would reaaaaally like to be treated like a pet. I feel for them.

Have you considered Devuan a fork of Debian specifically intended to remove systemd.

greyscale, 10 months ago

Ah, they might have killed that option in newer kernels. Vaguely remember something about it being a temporary fix, I guess its time has come.

I’ll be real with you @vandanamanturgekar, I don’t give a shit about market trends in anything.

Cash in the UK is extremely dead already. I’ve not even seen any of the plastic notes except for the £10.

I had a taxi in Crewe say “cash only” and the fury on my face was incredible. What the fuck do you mean cash only?

Yeah and that shit can get fucked.

My thinkpads have always gone further on ubuntu than on windaz.

Is that just forcing the cpu scheduler? I use ubuntu-mate, and theres just a dropdown widget to switch between balanced/power/powersave.

Don’t buy a synology. For less money you can make a better system. I use a cheap itx board, a used 6600k, Silverstone DS380 and 8x4TB disks of spinning rust and a 256G NVME as my current iteration of my NAS. its basically silent, and runs ubuntu + zfs + shit in containers. Its excellent.

I am however considering 10G ethernet cards for it and my desktop and just doing point-to-point. Not that 1G is too slow for my needs, but because it’d be fun.

greyscale, 10 months ago

Can you just put stock ubuntu on it? Is the CPU worth a damn?

If it can’t do either of those, it is manufactured ewaste, imo.

greyscale, 10 months ago

I’d consolidate to let it pay for itself over the longer term in electricity savings.

My single NAS runs everything I could ever want, though I regret not finding a used 6700k, finding out teh 6600k didn’t have HT.

Also, I run frigate on it inside a container and use a Google Coral Accellerator to people-detection from 4x2k camera streams. Its pretty swish, though it took some fiddling to get the kernel to be groovy with it and do container-device passthru from PCI-e.

In total, my single NAS runs the following in containers:

• Personal projects
• Home Assistant
• MQTT for Tasmota
• Game servers
• Deluge for yarr harr fiddly dee
• Frigate NVR

The whole shebang, NAS with permanently spinning rust, UPS, ISP Modem and Ubiquity Dream Machine run ~100W.

Edit: I’ve noticed ZFS is twitchier than most about disks failing. It fails disks about once or twice a year, which are getting cheaper every year. Most of the time the disk still works as far as SMART is concerned, but I’m not gonna question the ZFS gods.

greyscale, 10 months ago

Run your fun things in containers and you can’t make a mess of the host.

greyscale, 10 months ago

Another reason to avoid a Synology. I had a HP Microserver gen 8 that I ditched due to CPU constraints and ECC ram. Just got 32G of cheap DDR4.

greyscale, 10 months ago

How much power does just the NAS use?

the NAS is the bulk of the 100W.

Are you running something like Unraid or TrueNAS, or are you just running a ‘regular’ Linux distro?

Ubuntu + ZFS. I don’t see the appeal of running a non-mainline distribution. All I did was set it up so ZFS sends me emails and a crontab to run a ZFS resilver weekly.

greyscale, 10 months ago

It and some other network appliance bits draw ~ 100W continuous.

I think a good chunk of that is the disks, but I could be wrong.

greyscale, 10 months ago

relatedly, I used to use a 4x bay USB3 caddy for some disks… It was OK, but didn’t expose the raw disks and the controller was pretty fucky swallowing things like SMART.

My main beef with that MediaTek X2x platform is the hella dated hacked up kernel it was stuck with which meant the damn thing never got mainlined so my Planet Gemini has been nothing but a paperweight.

I don’t want to carry around more shit and it makes payment faster and less fucking about.

Also if I lose it I don’t lose all my money.
