Well I am running a Mesh network with Gh.n powerline, and it’s very stable. Of course the Ethernet backend would be faster, but I don’t want cables running down in my corridor.

It took me like 10 min to setup rsnapshot (installing, and writing systemd unit /timer files) on my servers.

Rsnapshot. It uses rsync, but provides snapshot management and multiple backup versioning.

So Pro Piracy argument … So no more patents or copyrights

You think Americans can’t change, just look at German Automakers. They are stuck in Perpetual denial. VW only moved electric because of the massive diesel scandal, otherwise they also would have been like every other car manufacturer.

I am already running Snapraid and machines do spindown after sometime, but it’s still around 50w.

Thank you, this is what I am thinking too. I don’t wanna create e-waste, and apart from power consumption, the nas is very handy performance wise and tackles all load.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. I thought n100 (similar to what dedicated nas has 6-10w) would bring power down considerably, and thanks to you, I now know it’s not the case.

I actually have an extension cord with IoT chip. Can measure power consumption via home assistant.

Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it’s one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it’s not much, I would rather keep my PC.

It’s 6th gen i5 processor with gigabyte motherboard. And Qnap is ts-531x.

It will never get solved. Kashmir stayed in conflict and bloodshed, favors both India and Pakistan. The latest escalation gave Modi justification to continue sidelining Muslims in India, pass authoritative measures and push the dissolution of waqf assets to be seized by govenrment, while on other side, it also allowed hugely unpopular Pakistani military, to gather public support and clamp down on political opposition and undermine any remaining democracy in the country.

don’t hold your breath

Thanks for setting expectations

Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities

I am thinking of deploying a RAG system to ingest all of Linus’s emails, commit messages and pull request comments, and we will have a Linus chatbot.

Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn’t afford an iPhone.

Just because you married the daughter of someone dumb, the rest of us should suffer? Due to this walled garden approach, the big companies are carving pieces of once open Internet to create their own secluded corners which only stifles competition. I always liked apple as a technology company, but their transition into a lifestyle brand only emboldened their gatekeeping. I am glad they were forced to adapt to USB-C, and I hope that in future, they be forced to open their AppStore.

Pakistani Military has been doing groundwork for months to ensure the election results. Forced abductions of politicians and journalists, threatening peoples families with physical and sexual violence and forcing/buying judges to disqualify and reject nomination papers for election. These elections are set to compete with 1965 general elections which were rigged beyond belief to ensure a win for military backed Ayub Khan. They tried to do the same in the 1970 general elections, and even though they initially didn’t succeed, they didn’t let the winning majority party to form the government by illegal arrests and violence and forcefully dismantling them, which resulted in riots and eventually allowed East Pakistan, aka Bangladesh to get independence from Pakistan.

There was a simpler time when anti-trans meant you opposed both autobots and decepticons.

There is a crackdown/entrapment going on, and many people who took part in Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are then ID and catalogued. Palestinian flags on apartment windows and student dormitories are taken down by police. Not to mention, Palestinian flag that was painted in a shop’s garage next to my house and has been there for literally 10 years, was painted over by the city government today. There is a concentrated effort to silence any Palestinian voice, and Germans are just as “clueless” like they were back in the 1940s.
