I subscribed to a usenet service. Still figuring out how to use it 🤔

Mine returns a 404, but on purpose. Everything I want internet-facing is behind a cloudflare tunnel on appropriate subdomains.

That’s totally not a massive conflict of interest

It’s meant for hot swapping, so you don’t have to shut off the whole housing. But yeah, the fact that it doesn’t turn back on after a sudden power loss is… inconvenient. Mine is stationed at my parents’ place (they have gigabit fiber).

I ran Merlin for a couple years on an RT-N66U. Eventually switched to Tomato and was much happier with it.

It died a couple years ago. Replaced it with a Unifi Dream Machine. No ragrets.

I don’t know what your budget is, but I recently bought a Sabrent 4-bay housing for ~$230:

It’s got USB-C 3.2, so transfer speeds are plenty quick, and each bay has it’s own locking door and dedicated power button for easy hot swapping. The only downside is that if there’s an unexpected sudden power loss, you have to manually turn each drive bay back on, and there’s no way to do it remotely.

A man person of culture

I just logged onto my Evernote to back everything up due to this news, and this is what I found after I logged on and it pestering me to “unsync” my existing devices (not a bad idea honestly, it’s been literally 6 years since I’ve used Evernote):

That’s right, you can only unsync your devices TWICE A MONTH. If that’s not the absolute trashiest shit behavior, I don’t know what is. Deleting my account once I get my info.

Edit: I have one whole note and I don’t have the equipment it refers to anymore, so say goodbye to my Evernote account. Enshittification goes on.

How is that a bad thing? Genuine question.

I have an Optiplex 7050 SFF that I dumped a few hundred dollars worth of upgrades into for shits and giggles when I ran it as my daily driver; then I built a beastly Ryzen system to daily and shunted the Optiplex over to server duties, replacing the previous server (14 year-old HP Elitedesk 8100 SFF).

The Optiplex runs everything I can throw at it with ease, far better than the HP could have ever hoped to do.

As for using old laptops that a big ehhh for me. Find yourself a used NUC instead.

Yes, but that costs money and I already have the laptop in my possession. Which is the majority reason why old laptops are used for this kind of thing.

Mother fucker

I just moved my .dev domain to Porkbun. Why couldn’t I have just waited another couple of days 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
