Aaron Judge original set before the upgraded chompers.

Maybe Tom Sellecks too but I want the mustache with them, you know …to tickle my friends and family with.

Not enough teeth of famous people are auctioned. Untapped market possibly, but someday I hope to collect all my hero’s teeth.

Yep, that’s lame but at the same time - If you’re going to start a project like this… Maybe you should be aware of the rules first? It’s hard to feel bad when the guy didn’t bother doing the most basic research before starting or even at some point near the beginning of the build.

It doesn’t matter if the rules are stupid or difficult. You do what they want and you get what you want. It’s the same conversation I have with a 12 year old regarding his chores and play time.

Yep! Scanned documents and backups of photos, personal stuff and the families stuff. I host a few game servers too I guess for friends. Running great and more than enough power for everything I do, and I have as much redundancy as I can afford.

I found TrueNas scale to be what fits my needs but I tried unraid (trial) and open media vault first. Also not this is not my first rodeo as I’ve done “from scratch” Ubuntu, and bsd.

I just built a server from older parts off eBay. An i7 2600, Asus p8z77, a Silverstone c382 nas case, 32gb of 1333, a pny P600 video card and a 9200+8i hba card. Then I used TrueNas on an SSD and another SSD for docker containers and cache.

4k Plex streaming no issues, system is fast and the only issue I had was the old Asus boards don’t use pwm fan control.

Open Media vault just confused the heck out of me, I ran it for a few months and donated money to the team for their effort but it was too restricting for my needs. It was definitely a capable nas os but it didn’t feel like it fit my style which is more hands on.

TrueNas has snapshots and replication. I run 4 12tb disks for my live data, striped raid 1’s. Then I have two more 12tb’s in a raid 1 for my replication read only. It’s not enough space if I filled my live drives but I havent needed more yet for the backup. And I can always expand my backup set.

I also have a qnap tr004 das with some random drives in a hardware raid 5. That’s my third copy I do every so often.

The funny part is I didn’t want to pay for a Synology but ended up spending more on parts. However it’s incredibly powerful for what it does so I’m using that as my “happy little mistake”. It’s going to last a long time and run as many services that I could possibly want as a home user.

Makes sense. I didn’t get it from what was posted but I understand now from the replies. Thanks.

I don’t get why it’s a trick either. That’s the catchy headline right? But no word on if the changes apply into the past or it’s just lawyers trying to protect themselves for next time. It’s an email with new TOS and the ability to opt out.

No it’s not good for users and yes it’s a shitty 30 day notice in an email even I didn’t read yet because I’m so irritated with them.

But reading the patron post didn’t tell me how it was a trick and neither did the mastodon link. However the replies were good and helped fill me in on some details I wasn’t aware of yet on the actual breach. https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/111531294441702837

Not sure why the down votes on a perfectly acceptable question.

Ha! Absolutely correct and also just to drive the point home, “a few years” means 15 years.

This article told me little to nothing, so I went looking and bleeping computer says it they aren’t listing the devices for security reasons. Guessing hikivision or dahua oem but who knows.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-botnet-malware-exploits-two-zero-days-to-infect-nvrs-and-routers/Akamai’s

Quotes from this article:

“Akamai’s Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) first discovered the botnet in October 2023, noticing unusual activity on a rarely used TCP port targeting their honeypots.”

And

“targeted devices were linked to a specific NVR manufacturer, not named in the report for security reasons”

Out of curiosity, how many magazines do you subscribe or have you subscribed to on Google news?

My feeling is that real or digital magazines are as useful as their newspaper counterpart but I don’t want that either. A web page with content is perfectly acceptable for the same purpose.

And if he said “well there are lots of different types of governments and we can all work together” or some non answer then the headlines would be “biden refuses to call him a dictator”. It’s a no win so the best course was to say it and smooth it over later because maybe it signals they can both be truthful.

Lots of good came out of this meeting overall in my opinion.

I actually read about 50% of it, but something about the writing style was not working for me and I was focused more on how it was written than what was written. Stopped reading it. I actually like the movie and wanted the details only a book can provide.

Anyway maybe not relevant to you but if I don’t like it, I don’t read it. Too many other things to enjoy rather than trudging through something I don’t.

Not sophisticated. Reminder once a month to see how many photos I took. If it’s all random dog photos or pictures of things to remember the I ignore it. If it’s quality life events then I just download the new set and add it to my backup.

I used to get caught up with automation but sometimes it just takes 5 minutes to do something and I’m fine with it.

I used to use it for shopping lists, but then one day assistant said it had moved. I couldn’t find it, instructions were unclear so I gave up on shopping lists and keep.

I’ve been burned many times by Google since then, and they’ve taken me from a customer with a lot of Google products and services to only a backup email account and that’s about it.

It’s one thing to switch yourself but if you have family doing it too, especially nontechnical - let them choose their own thing.

Download backups, host them if you want but you need their trust in self hosted solutions when it counts. Photos is not the hill to die in… in my opinion.

Agreed. Google photos is great in a lot of ways. I self host a lot of things but still choose Google photos because it’s great at what it does.

I have backups to switch at a moments notice but the trick is to make your life easier, reliable and consistent.

I’m using Open Media Server on a PC. Docker for Plex and a DAS for data storage. It isn’t simple but it’s not hard and it’s been stable and easy to use after you figure out setup and get used to where things are in menus. It’s basically a nas with docker albeit a little slower because it’s USB storage.

Agreed. He’s very monotone and I don’t think his mic is very good. I like the content, not trying to tear someone down but he’s not a small channel anymore. Wish the production value was a bit higher to engage us more. I want to watch every video but I only watch the ones that I really want to know more about, for this reason.

I have other financial priorities at the moment so most streaming services are a want and not a need even if I love watching sports. The price is not low enough to buy it because I enjoy it and can justify it. Maybe I’ll budget for it next year.

Baseball was the same way but luckily YES network did streaming for baseball and I was able to watch the games at a price I felt was reasonable. Also I only subscribed for the season, well technically not the whole season because the Yankees were killing me. That’s part of the deal only streaming 1 team. I couldn’t watch any other team so why stay subbed?

I was subscribed to paramount+ for Star Trek, and occasionally I’d pause to catch Easter eggs or read something on the screen, get a better look at a ship, etc - but all I could see was a shirtless man selling me old spice. It was actually really frustrating.
