Yeah I totally missed that.

Well TIL … I subscribed to the first two but the last one didn’t work for some reason.

One think I miss from reddit… /r/datahoarder

These were my people. I probably have 100TB but it certainly isn’t in my home directory. I’m not sure if I should be immpressed or freightened.

Yeah I’d bet this. Had my keyboard set to GB something once and backspace and tilde were all messed up

I have seen the temporary->permanent happen so many times even in enterprise IT.

I’m not a windows hater per se, but I am for using the best tool for the job.

And in my opinion windows is not the best tool for self hosting. There are things windows does work well for that meshes well with self hosting and that’s docker. Honestly I’d focus on that for a lot of reasons but primarily because it’s a very easy to deploy self contained way to provide services. And the differences between docker on windows and Linux is almost negligible.

I’m wondering if you could create a VM with it (like in PCIe pass through) and use it more like a traditional GPU for streaming?

This probably doesn’t help you much right now but I have a QNAP as well. And I too despise the QTS software. But I found out that TrueNAS can run on it pretty easily. I have an NVME drive on a usb-c enclosure that I installed trueNAS on and it boots fine into it. If I ever wanna go back it’s just a remove the boot drive and reformat (the ZFS pools are compatible unfortunately).

Man I love geek humor!!

👍🏻

Edit: I hope that doesn’t sound sarcastic because I really do

The outside the box thinking this requires amazing.

Well in his defense, that language was sorta AI generated. Very glad the project isn’t. This looks like something I’m very interested in.

Sorry….

I’m 55 and I share the sentiment. The difference is I’ve been in IT for 30+ years and I still get giddy when I’m setting somewhere and can access my own servers that I run.

Isn’t that the good thing about a laptop … essentially built in UPS?

It’s all about time management. I have lots of requests from family/friends that I don’t want to have to do lots of work on. My stuff I want I tinker with. I’ll transcode and optimize and make sure the naming is what I want. Other stuff… don’t care. If it’s watchable it’s fine.

So Robot Wars - Mad Max sponsored by GTA?

Same here. This is gonna bug me all day….

Yeah I don’t get it either… autocorrect?

Well my university just sells them. It’s all in person so there is a lottery to determine place in line because it’s popular. And for us it’s piece meal, not 900 iPads all at once. Might have to do some research to figure out where but I’d suspect most universities do this sorta stuff.

For example I’m in NC so there is this: https://www.doa.nc.gov/divisions/state-surplus-property/retail-store-locations
