  • I've got an older AMD bulldozer platform with 16 or so tb behind it. SMB serves up all of the media to Nvidia shield platforms running Kodi. Away, I'll wire guard in to my network to remotely access media and compute as needed. I'm a big fan of not running a bunch of integrations that would fail at a time I'm just trying to watch something and relax; IT support at home after doing it all day sucks.

  • This happened to me with a good friend. He wanted to stop listening, and admittedly I was on repeat (severe depression, major life changes coming and I couldn't cope properly) - but it has the effect of drifting us pretty severely.

  • I love the idea behind this. Overall I've been burned about 3 times in my home ownership time by committing to a brand like this. The brands seem to change batteries (voltage or connectors or both) on a 5 to 10 year cycle, meaning I either have to rebuild packs (fun with newer BMS etc) or deal with China sourced minimum lifetime packs. Even bigger things do this - but I did recently bought a Ryobi ride on mower that originally had lead acid that I covered myself to a single 48v lifepo4. Their newer ride ons have large 80v "packs" that I'm sure cost an arm and a leg for a proper "official" pack.

  • The only real issue I have with zoom is how it immediately dumps you into the call with your previous settings. Sometimes (most times) I'd rather start with the microphone muted. I'm not a regular user though, just when third party meetings get kicked off.

  • I have a dual socket R620 with 256gb RAM that I never turn on (proxmox) and another box with a single xeon 1518d (esxi). Collapsing both down to a repurposed Sophos SG135 (atom c3558) with 32g ram, 512gb sata and a noctua fan (proxmox). I already use another sg135 running opnsense. I run mostly lightweight loads anymore (HomeAssistant, netbox, unifi controller) so I really don't need things turned on that have overkill horsepower. I have a separate file server that I need to upgrade sometime (old 4 core bulldozer amd) but it keeps chugging away.

  • I've resorted to a rewatch of shows prior to their new season launch. Wheel of Time is one such show I've done this with; also Arcane - there's so much to follow and my brain tends to just lose details over time for shows. I'll be watching Severance season one again soon.

  • Yeah I seriously was considering one plus back in the day when they still had a jack (flagships). Was not impressed when they dropped that... And my memory, while bad - seems to recall that they said they weren't going to remove it at one point.
