  • I mean, it is fair for the company leadership to decide on what is said through their channels.

    I don’t really see any issues with them limiting what can be said when representing their company.

    However, any coworker should be able to post, comment and like what they want on their own personal social media pages without it affecting their employment.

    I remember various attempts by employers to force employees to represent the brand and company at all times, that is just idiotic.

    I will only accept that my employer will have me say “no comment” when asked about company opinions or details in my free time.


  • I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.

    (I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)

    I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.

    Currently I have a:

    • Jonsbo N4 case
    • Asrock B550m Pro4
    • AMD Ryzen 4600G
    • 32GB RAM
    • Kingston boot SSD
    • Corsair SF750 PSU

    I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.









  • I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…

    Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…

    I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…












  • I am a hobby photographer, and I am interested in some photo editing software, I heard great things about DoX Photo Lab, and wanted to check it out, I am not opposed to paying for software, if I get a perpetual license for a version, ok, they have that, looks good, so I try and find a trial version, ah, sweet they have that as well!

    But I need to register to get access to download it…

    Sigh…

    Just allow me to get a trial version without registring, then I can decide later if I want it, I have bought several programs this way!

    The only thing you will accomplish with forcing a registration on me in this case is a database full of temp emails…

    STOP. DOING. THIS.
