Same as keeping a soft copy.

Tax was just as example. Maybe there’s a form somebody wants signed with a pen instead of electronic, I don’t know.

Anyway if you are going to get a printer, but only do a handful at any time avoid buying an inkjet

No, printed just to keep a hard copy

SmartOne uses Schlage locks with some ecobee thermostats and sometimes a doorbell cam. Latch locks suck and I don’t know what panel is used there.

I’m in Toronto, I do high-rise construction. Post a picture I’ll tell you what it is.

Correlates poops to your Uber eats from chipotle, serves you up Pepto ads preemptively.

What’s the brand?

literally so you can leave it unplugged in a box, and drag it out once a year to print a tax form or something. Toner should be shelf stable.

Time well spent wanking

Operating your tools and being able to maintain and repair your tools are the unequivocally essential skills for everyone in every single industry.

If you can’t, you are not a professional.

The concepts of machine logic, registers/lookups/etc are essential for every programmer. If you don’t have a clear idea about how the simplest CPU functions, you don’t have any basis of understanding the abstractions in front of you, scripting in JS. Not a professional.

What the fuck

How is he going to fix his tractor? Wait days for John Deere to send somebody? Let the crop rot on the vine?

You didn’t just punch him in the mouth?

quieter, and uses way less power.

VERY IMPORTANT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SENTENCE OP

This would only matter if they cared about facts, or had any scruples or shame.

Your asrock option should be good, you are concerned about power draw but the manual asks for 90w adaptor with 2 HDDs.

The Odroid has a more specific ask

– DC 19V/7A power adapter is recommended if you use more than one 3.5” SATA HDDs together

Your 90w may be underpowered in either case hard to tell.

Proxmox would still be useful for container management.

Does your budget include the drives you mentioned, or do you already own those? Do you have an esata dock or something already?

Magic.

Blasphemy.

Oh I never looked at the two bay specs, good idea.

Synology specifically can run a bunch of services. Plex server is in the package manager. I use WebDAV and added it as a media source on the VLC app on my nvidia shields

The thing that you will struggle with, doing a roll your own NAS is that rolling your own is only going to be as reliable as you are.

I had a seadrive Linux server set up and I had a bunch of issues with accessibility and software upgrades because it stretched the bounds of what I was capable of. If I went back to that solution now, I would not struggle nearly as much and I would probably run two concurrent instances and transfer files between them instead of trying to upgrade the one live instance.

But I need something consistent for my wife and friends, so I did pick up a Synology 4 bay and loaded it with 4x 8tb drives.

With this thing, extra services beyond the Synology apps are much more simple to configure. Authentication is more consistent, even though I am not using the Synology sign in service.

The server hardware that was hosting Seadrive still has containers and VMs for a web proxy, pihole, my security camera server, qbittorrent-nox. I have a mikrotik router that feeds traffic back and forth.

If none of those things make sense to you even if you look them up, you should use a prebuilt. If you can make a guess how I’m using the things, you might be able to roll your own.

“hot shit” used to be a compliment. The people that made up that phrase are currently in charge of the planet.

I was listening to the radio this morning and the dude was saying he’d rather have CEO shootings in the news than all the school shootings. It’s not dead, it’s just hard to find a pulse.

Here I was heavily paraphrasing.
