Something something Vegemite sandwich

Also California

California, Utah, Texas all have laws now requiring age verification to use an app store

Have been in Manhattan the last couple of days, the bikes (and especially the fast ebikes) are a damn menace. The cars at least stop for crosswalks and signals. The bikes absolutely do not. Got stuck at that big bike crosswalk near Central Park West as hordes of bikes just blew the red light, meant specifically for them in their dedicated bike lane.

It also harvests lots of data. Check your firewall logs.

The Aubrey-Maturin series, not sci-fi but just about the best novels there are.

Maybe Foundation series, original 3.

Soldered in there :) also max 8 GB memory. I only paid like $30 for this box 6 years ago including the $10 for four used drives, I’m not expecting it to run Crysis.

To be extra clear, it was released in 2010 or something. This thing is 15 years old!

Encryption slows it down a lot. It’s just a Turion II

I’ve got a N40L running TrueNAS. It is slow for mass transfers but at about 40-60mbps transfer speeds it is plenty fast for file usage (jellyfin libraries etc.) Right now it’s just a secondary but it is quiet and uses little power. You can get 3.5 to 2.5 adapters and use ssds for even quieter use.

In other words don’t be afraid to trawl around on eBay and experiment.

Having a separate machine as a NAS is good, running TrueNAS or XigmaNAS. You can segregate your backups from your daily use, you can have automated tasks run, etc.

Machine wise, I’m gonna try out a Beelink with nvme slots. Right now I’m using a Proliant microserver. Don’t get one with a hardware RAID card as you want to be able to use zfs. But otherwise they sell pretty cheap on Ebay.

Well AT&T banned the (better) international models from their network a while back. They work fine. Just banned.

Invader Zim did it first

They’re pretty well known here for low quality flashy vehicles, with premiums for luxury not quality.

Makes me so angry. Imagine the plot of the prequels but written and produced like Andor.

And don’t imagine the sequels at all.

I had not. And for free?? I shall explore it.

Is this new? I have some 10 year old ish Asus motherboards that have been really solid

Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I’ve seen.

Yes, second Talos Principal, it is excellent and the soundtrack too.

We are, Batman, we are.

I VPN to my network for it.

I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck
