That list is no longer accurate. See cybenetics labs.

Yeah… I’m not sure anymore that pre-builts are the best NAS machines. Looks like I’m buying piecemeal.

Picture I linked looks like it will fit.

Actually…

I think Deep Glacier is cheaper if you’re backing up less than 8 TB, so I think I may have to go with Backblaze if I end up using up all 12 TB. Really depends.

Thanks, I’m saving this. I’m very unacquainted with plumbing / carpentry so I wouldn’t have thought of this.

yep, that one. They claim it has a 2tb hd in it so the 3.5" is most likely populated, but good catch! I also have extra cables lying around, so cables won’t be a worry.

I hope not too creative. I think there’s some standard adapter online.

Amazon AWS Glacier

Edit: I was downvoted for this, but it’s genuinely a more affordable alternative to Backblaze whose finances are questionable.

I highly recommend the man pages versus what is on Google. Type ‘man’ or ‘man -k’ to search them. Also available on the web for your particular distro.

Also you might wanna increase the block size in dd. And, it might be faster to use dump and restore, since that isn’t copying empty space.

There’s no story. I mean - I’ve been disciplined a few times to be honest usually from adults that shouldn’t be teachers and from my parents who didn’t like me writing mean things in invisible ink.

To be honest I only asked the question because growing up sucks and I am imagining what it’s like for new adults to have the fun sucked out of them and to become boring and contemptuous adults.

These are small potatoes to the real problems.

I worked at Dollar Tree a year ago and got a letter saying my SSN and birthday was breached by Lockton. This is the second time this has happened and it’s ridiculous they’re still holding on to my data even though I never consented.

If simply functioning in society is going to require me to buy lifetime identity threat protection then I don’t know how privacy isn’t a luxury.

One thing I will agree with is to stop using SCP.

It was deprecated a while back and older, but more experienced Unix wizards still suggest it. SFTP is an alternative, but rsync also works.

Skip Fedora and leap straight to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Carrier pigeon, anyone?

Email that aligns with our values of privacy, freedom and respect of our users. No ads, no selling or training AI on your data – just your email and it is your email.

That sentence calms my concerns with Mozilla, though it’s a little confusing given the stance they tried to posture.

Ffs finally. “Experimental” my ass, also - it’s not a new thing, zypperoni has it.

On old Plasma versions (Debian) the Lock Screen manager would crash pretty much every week until I upgraded to the latest release.

“Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.
