  • Anecdotal plug, I have had the best luck with Toshiba drives. In my current NAS I am using seagate 12tb recert ironwolf drives but that only has a month of uptime so far.

    Before those I ran Toshiba 4tb NAS drives, and before that Toshiba 2tb red drives for 8years with no issues and 100% uptime in a drivepool windows setup. My last couple of backup drives were 6th WD drives and I am 2 for 2 on premature drive failures with those.

    I also refuse to run WD online type devices since the mybooklive/mycloud security issues that resulted in significant data loss and WD refused to patch it. Instead they gave pile a $50 credit for a new drive

  • I've shifted to 7-4 and it made a huge differenc e post kids. If my company would let us bounce before 4, I would do a shorter lunch and earlier start but it is still way better than getting home at 5:30 or 6.

  • Look again amigo, I am sad to say that a huge portion of those are dead links now which exist only in your memory. It's like getting internet blueballs when you click on something you were once excited about and now it redirects to some shitty hosting service page or a 404 page with a cutsie image and caption. If you want to really keep something, you have to save the page itself or make a pdf of it.

  • I am currently getting a replacement for my old win10+drivepool setup using hand me down parts from my old main pc. I decided to go with UNRAID this time and other than a few headaches, its been pretty simple to get going. I am already a big fan of the container/docker/app setup. My setup is 3 12tb seagate iron wolf nas drives recertified/refurbished from ebay, the nvme ssd I used as my prior boot drive as a cache drive, and a r7 1700 and ab350m pro 4 mobo with a pny xlr8 1070gpu. It was mostly free since I was replacing it with a newer gaming build. I think I spent $280 on the hdds?

  • I would love to be wrong about this but I just don't see it happening.

    People in the US just roll over and take it when this stuff happens. Either its because they have been sold a line of bullshit from their preferred propaganda source about how its actually a good thing because SoCiAlIsM bAd or because they can't engage against riot police or protest because they have to work to stay above the water. There is no safety net in the US and that is working really well to keep us toeing the line.

    Its going to take something really massive for the citizens of the US to actually group up and make change, as massive as shitcanning or changing Social Security is, it impacts elderly and disabled folks moreso than the healthy and able bodied who could actually fight this if it directly impacted them at this time.

  • We ran ours in our bathroom while showering for a while because our ac was messed up and were were getting close to mold conditions. I loved having it in there during the winter because it was really warm and pleasant when you got our of the shower.

  • I love eating semi-expensive 12 month aged Manchego Cheese with Zapps Jalapeno chips, and super cheap Tecate beer. Feel free to substitute your cheep mexian beer and jalapeno chip brand to your taste but the cheese needs to be aged, good, and hard.
