  • Cosmos 0.12 major update

  • After getting burnt on the unRAID license change and the restriction on security updates, I figured there had to be a simple os that I can essentially set, forget, and easily update when I need, which also uses SnapRAID. I might just try this out.

  • Okay yeah that's very true the proctoring systems suck entire ass.

  • I do love open source, but hearing "Moodle" aged me like a decade lmao. Also nextcloud for everything? I guess having every tool you need centralized makes sense but I do wonder how well it scales across tens of thousands of people.

  • I really don't get the Chromebook complaint. It just needs to browse the internet, and a Chromebook is damn solid at that at a super reasonable price and are rugged as hell. Yeah I wish schools didn't hook into the g suite but like what, you want em on a windows machine to do the same things as on chrome os?

  • This and grapheneos were the two big reasons I got a pixel 8 after I broke my 5 on a small drop. The third was I got it for basically perfect condition for $350 on ebay which is so baller.

  • Oh my god finally found exactly the kinda thing I wanted with even more than I bargained for.

    Yeah UI could use a tiny bit of polishing but it's still very fluid, damn.

  • I agree with you, but I still hope for your sake and others that you drive relatively safe and make good driving choices lmao

  • I know it's been years since they changed this but I'm still upset. But it doesn't change much cause I also just look up everything before I watch it since there's no way in hell I trust companies not to filter reviews lol.

  • What is your job interview ritual?

  • HAHA I wonder how many people do this. Does sound kind of useful.

  • Yeah this honestly makes me hesitant to download idk why there are so many data sharing permissions. Maybe they're default?

  • Should I go with a prebuilt or custom built NAS to get into self hosting?

    Jump

  • I haven't looked very hard so there could be backup services I'm missing. So far I've found restic/autorestic and duplicati, but I'm not sure what their differences in purposes are or pros/cons between them.

    Also I've heard Unraid has a flexible storage solution which would be nice as I would like to just upgrade as I go instead of planning substantial disk upgrades, but are there also solutions for that on custom built systems instead of SHR?

  • Should I go with a prebuilt or custom built NAS to get into self hosting?

    Jump

  • My parents won't necessarily be using the NAS, I'd just be using some kind of system (maybe even just a raspi) as a remote backup solution with a wireguard tunnel to my local NAS, but if a drive fails, I'd be about 700 miles away to manage it.

    If it was a perfect world, I'd like to just ship a new drive to my parents and tell them to unplug the failing one and plug in the new one, then manage the rest automatically/myself remotely, but I assume that's a pipe dream.

  • Should I go with a prebuilt or custom built NAS to get into self hosting?

    Jump

  • The thing that attracted me most to Synology is that they have pretty braindead simple software, I assume their systems have decent power management given the low hardware specs, and Hybrid Backup, Snapshot Replication, and Active Backup for Business seem to be a solid set of remote backup options which I couldn't find simple, non-proprietary alternatives for. Plus, it would be nice to have a NUC or Optiplex separate since I don't know if running a NAS off them would be the best idea but they're also cheap and have great power management (I think I saw a 200W 80+ platinum PSU in an optiplex with a i5-7500, which seems like a great value alone). Ultimately I'm just not sure if there's a way to combine the pros of each of those solutions together to avoid the annoyances of maintaining two systems and trusting Synology's hardware and software to keep my system running smooth long-term.

    Also honestly I just picked RAID 6 cause I heard most people prefer to rely on RAID levels that tolerate more than one disk failure. Is SHR any good even though it's proprietary?

  • Damn that R720 sounds like a great all-in-one solution. Is the power draw manageable?

    Also woah! Helium filled drives? What's the lifespan/risk on those if they've already gotten their lifespan cut short?

  • Air Canada tried to cover vomit on the seat with coffee grounds and petfume, complaining passengers escorted out of the plane

    Jump

  • What do you even fly if you're in Canada, then? I've heard WestJet took a turn downward a few years back.

  • Just bought a Ryanair ticket

    Jump

  • Absolutely. My friends and I just flew with Ryanair from Rome to Barcelona, and besides almost losing my mobile boarding pass because I almost lost my phone, it was completely fine. I've heard a lot of things about them strictly enforcing luggage sizes, so I just made sure I only bought the tickets through the official website while ignoring the upselling dark patterns and got bags I knew would absolutely fit the stricter luggage requirements.

    Given the alternatives were either Wizz, Lufthansa, or Easyjet for a direct flight, I think I made the right decision.
