Which is almost enviable from a certain perspective… but only if you don’t think about it for more than a fraction of a second.

And here I thought Jardiance was bad.

But how did they know that?

Have you tried becoming a digital illustration?

SVG is a vector image format that probably isn’t compatible with every Lemmy client. Here’s a rasterized version from a screenshot:

Whew, that’s a relief.

I have no idea, I blocked everything I could by keyword just like I did with Reddit. I don’t even get news here unless it’s tech-related, just dogs, memes, and shitposts.

Thank you for your service.

I like that idea. I have an extra Pi Zero – would that work or do I need more processing power? I’m looking at storing around 5-15GB per day.

Living on a busy street, my cameras would fill 40GB in just a few days. Ideally I’d like to have at least a few weeks if not months of retention. I’m also fiercely anti-subscription to the point of irrationality. I wouldn’t be in this community otherwise – I’d just have a Ring or Blink plan like a normie.

A big part of why I want a(nother) NAS (I already have two because I’m a maniac) is that I need a backup of my surveillance system’s footage, not only in case of data loss but also in case someone breaks in and steals my NVR – the device which would otherwise contain the only video of them breaking in and stealing my NVR.

As of last night, I have an offsite backup functioning so that problem is mostly solved, but I still wanted a redundant copy saved locally. Since the NUC is busy being a server and occasionally a PC, I was looking for something else that’s also small which I could hide from a burglar inside a wall or ceiling.

It’s a Ubiquiti UNVR with a four bay backplane running RAID 10 on 4x6TB drives for the primary/default storage but they recently added an archiving feature to the Protect app that can push events to cloud storage providers or local/offsite SMB file shares. This NAS will be one backup stage while another will be offsite at a friend’s house.

I love the idea of up-cycling but I was looking for something physically small/compact that I could hide easily in a ceiling or closet that wouldn’t also be unnecessarily power-intensive. My 10th gen NUC running Debian and a full *arr stack uses <5W at idle for example. I could end up using it as a NAS instead but I think I’d rather have it out in the open on a desk where I can still use it as a desktop as needed.

I also have a GOAT friend with a 2.5x2.5Gb symmetrical fiber connection who co-locates a server of mine for free as long as I share the storage with him. It’ll be a redundant offsite backup in addition to this NAS so I only need the most basic of features, not something with a whole desktop OS and/or entire ecosystem of available extensions and other packages.

Which model? I ordered one reliable one for a customer and another one that turned out to be a lemon.

What’s the OS situation? I like Synology’s proprietary stuff but it’s a like little too proprietary for some tasks and they seem to be getting greedy with these new OEM drive requirements. I like the idea of bare hardware even better where I can install whatever I want.

The thing that gets me is that it was simultaneously way too long while also finding a way to be too short. Obviously years of history have to be compressed to fit into three hours of cinema, but they distilled what was originally months worth of conversation down to one or two lines of dialog in some cases. It’s more off-putting to me than a two-hour film would have been if they had just skipped some of the details.

I wish they had just taken some creative license and done what the writers of the miniseries Chernobyl did with the fictional Ulana character:

Land of the fee and the home of the slave.
