Asking for myself.

I don’t know why you’re trying to protect your perverted friend with such a transparent ruse.

The Washingtonians that you want to attack don’t live anywhere near your border and rarely travel outside of the trailer parks of Centralia, so I think your anger is misdirected.

If the stock market crashes and doesn’t recover, that money will be worthless regardless of where you store it.

Imagine how many American citizens are sitting in these camps and will be deported to some other country as Trump tries to eliminate due process and rob them of their day in court.

The black cylindrical piece with the blue cap at the bottom in the front right of the extruder assembly that looks like it’s hanging lower than everything else due to the perspective.

Ah yes the filament. I totally didn’t think it was a close call with the bed probe crashing into the print until reading the body of your post.

Where are you finding it for so cheap? It’s $60 in American dollarydoos.

I’d say all those EU (and Canada) countries aren’t striving to be the economic powerhouse that Japan is and China already has 1.5 billion people compared to Japan’s 125 million. Plus most countries rely on immigration to make up the difference while I’ve heard (but maybe not true) that Japan is hard to immigrate to due to the disapproving culture toward foreigners.

I think you’ll want to look into Wake On LAN to do this. I can’t give you instructions (tried once unsuccessfully on a Windows installation) but that should be enough to get you started.

Yeah, this is all a big conspiracy, and I’m in on the take. 🙄

Your data is only half the story though. What would your air quality meter be reading if you were cooking with an electric stove?

It’s literally all explained for the whole line in a chart on half of a single page. What are you even talking about? It’s broken down by data speeds and charging wattage. How much simpler can you get?

They’re already doing that. The USB consortium released new naming schemes and labels to fix all the bizarre naming conventions.

I remember the aisles of proprietary phone chargers in Best Buy and Walmart all sectioned off by device name and the Medusa like adapters that had 14 different plugs coming off of a universal barrel connector.

Water to Seattle? Is this legit because Seattle has no shortage of precipitation or water AFAIK.

I think most people like it because it’s similar to professional sports but with fewer primadonnas and marketing. I think they think it’s more “pure.”

Plus they’re easily cleaned and changed.

I think this is what I’m leaning towards as I have very briefly played around with Proxmox on an Optiplex micro and was impressed with it.

After some more research I realized that TrueNAS probably won’t work as I have drives of various sizes pooled together so maybe UnRAID, OMV, or something else. Do you know if Proxmox’s native NAS can handle that or does it also require you to have multiples of the same drive?

I would (read: does) keep it that way. When your server inevitably goes belly up because of a misconfigured firewall or whatever you’ll thank yourself when the lights still turn on and your robot vacuum keeps going.

I have considered that and am not 100% decided either way but would love the convenience of having everything in one place though this can also he a drawback like you mentioned and “in one place” is just a matter of opening a new browser tab even if it’s on a separate machine, so maybe not really worth it. The Pi actually boots off a SSD since I’ve been burned by faulty SD cards in the past so it should be solid.

What’s wrong with keeping your old hardware?

I would actually love to reuse as much as possible since a primarily media server doesn’t need a lot of horsepower. I am wanting to go to an Intel CPU with an iGPU so that I could ditch the 1080TI and I can get them for a discounted price, but another user suggested the 5700g which would allow me to keep the mobo and RAM. The case is actually fantastic for being quiet, and the PSU is a decent platinum grade from when it was originally built. So all is looking good here except for the data transfer aspect since I need an intermediary machine to transfer from but I do have a few SFF PCs, micro PCs and laptops sitting around collecting dust that might be up to the task.

As for the OS. “Not Windows” is probably a bit intimidating at first but you seem to be pretty technical so it isn’t really an issue as long as you can read and process information.

This is going to be another challenge as I have played around with Ubuntu in the past and have a basic understanding of CLI, but struggled with random issues and getting myself into trouble and not knowing how to get back out of it. “You don’t know what you don’t know” was really in play after stuff like an update would cause everything to come crashing down and not knowing why. With my hobbies, it seems like something I really should learn but have really struggled with. I’m sure a lot was hidden with editing magic but the video I watched on TrueNAS made it look easy to pick up with a nice GUI so that I’m not spending all my time pasting esoteric commands into a terminal.

I wouldn’t mind a mini rack but don’t have anywhere to put it. Maybe when we move to a new house someday, that’ll be one of the first things I get.

How’s transcoding on the 5700g? I know Intel is praised for their iGPU and recall AMDs being less universally compatible but this was with discrete GPUs and may be several years out of date.
