Just saw your edit - sounds like you’re recommending instead of having one 4 bay NAS, to have 2x 2 bay NAS’s to back each other up?

Hey thanks for the warning about the redundancy != backup - that is part of the plan in the future to build a smaller NAS off site, or even move this particular NAS off site if I find a willing host. Good point too about the wrong 2 drives failing stuffing the whole thing up. The process you’re describing does sound doable but complicated. Is there any alternative setup you might recommend, or is that it if I go with RAID?

Ah JBOD is new to me, I’ll have to look into it. Is there a free or FOSS recommended alternative to UnRAID?

Yeah good point, I guess the key is having the option to set default behaviours. Which I haven’t found in windows

Not sure if I want my applications to open other applications in a semi hidden way, if it does I want it to be obvious

A Pixel phone?! In this economy?!

Hey Framework, how about sending some laptops down under? I still am not able to buy any from the website here in NZ

Welp…Slay the Spire is apparently 1gb installed, so it’ll probably be that

Clearly that’s Outer Spain

Waymond?

Well yeah… Its just called normal coffee

If you’re doing any work on cars or bikes, they rip 10 minutes into your work anyways so you get a vent and blackened fingers

I’ve had good results removing the coating with armor etch, but be warned that the uncoated plastic lens are now more prone to scratches. I was able to extend the life of my glasses about 6 months before I got annoyed with the microscratches building up, was able to save up for a new pair.

Same here, CS6 PS+LR was the last one I bought.

I’d argue that there is, but we are just too used to the Lightroom or Photoshop way of thinking/workflow. We don’t entertain other programs because it is difficult to learn a new way of doing things and return to a place of competency. And the less people use a piece of software, the less there will be documentation to help others learn.

I’m not sure if its a conspiracy theory or verified, but I do think that Adobe were okay with people (amateurs) pirating their software. We didn’t have the money to pay for it anyway, but it got us to become proficient at using Photoshop so that when we eventually had money, we were locked in.

Don’t forget darktable as a lightroom alternative

Or… How about using a different program instead of Adobe’s so that we van eventually change what the “industry standard” is?

I just picked up Steam world Quest because I like Slay the Spire, its fun but I do miss the ability to really break the game like in StS, different genre I guess. Also UI is so cluttered, a lot of clicks to find important information. Glad it was on sale

That’s just chasing with more steps!

How I mine for fish?
