Soda water. Because getting drunk isn’t on my agenda. But it fits the vibe and people think your having a vodka tonic or something

Even after you get your ideal setup with all your traffic transversing your network to a single host, you have bottle necked the whole network to the speed of that single host.

Usually in networks devices are able to talk to each other directly across switch fabrics and not interdesr with other traffic.

Say you have four devices A B C D each pair trying to send 1GiB/S of traffic to each other over a GbE network connected to the same switch. A,B gets 1 GbE and C,D gets 1 GbE. For a total concurrent speed of 2GbE.

In your model since all traffic has to hit the central wireguard node W first you can only get 1GbE speed concurrently

The 3 dollar bum guns work fine.

Sadly, and honestly, this.

Using an LLM with 4-year-old data is a better experience than digging through three pages of Google blog spam

The synology.com account, not the NAS account

Tailscale, cloudflared tunnels, nebula

I was surprised too. But a lot of the current NAS devices basically operate as hosting devices. It makes sense the hard drives are there the power is there the RAM is there the CPU is there. So for the low intensity containers and VMs you want to run like a Plex server, or DNS server, or tail scale it’s all right there

At this point, it might be easier just to buy a supported UPS. I’m glad the backups 850 is working. It’s a good data point

I followed your advice, and went through the settings, and try to enable the USB device. But it’s just not detected.

Oh the synology drive is a file system syncing utility, it provides local caching of a remote file system and then syncs the files back. It’s not the software that shuts down the computer

Right now when updates get applied to the NAS, if it gets powered off during the update window that would be really bad and inconvenient require manual intervention.

In memory caching, and the Amy cashing, well I think the file system would almost certainly be in a consistent state, you might lose data in flight if you’re not careful.

The real problem, that I need an nas for, is not the loss of some data, it’s when the storms hit and there’s flooding, the power can go up and down and cycle quite rapidly. And that’s really bad for sensitive hardware like hard disks. So I want the NAS to shut off when the power starts getting bad, and not turn on for a really long time but still turn on automatically when things stabilize

Because this device runs a bunch of VMs and containers as well closing down so that all of those rights get flushed is good practice

AND their Synology drive client requires administrative permission to install on Mac OS, and on Windows. Why? Why…

Well I’m ranting about this process, I have other complaints.

Synology.com - if you want to add a second factor to your account, requires a phone number to be the master factor, in case you lose your second factor. So if you’re worried about Sim jacking, or even just not having a consistent phone number for the lifetime of the deployment, it’s kind of a terrible practice. There’s no way to unlink all phone numbers from an account, you can only replace them with a new phone number.

Synology does actually support hardware USB keys, but only as a secondary factor behind SMS… Ai ya.

Predicting the future with 100% accuracy is difficult. It’s unknowable if physical money will completely disappear.

The one thing I hold as an absolute constant, is humans are adaptable, humans will trade and use whatever they can, whatever is convenient, to their advantage.

Can you trade today, gold for a donut? Yes, but you’re going to put a lot of effort into that trade, just to find a counterparty. And then for the counterparty to verify it’s actually gold etc etc but you can do it.

Fascist governments like the centralized power, and that includes centralizing money, including peer-to-peer exchanges. So there’s always going to be the urge to control the absolute flow of all money. That being said, not every government has perfect cell phone coverage over their whole and nation, not all of their people have phones, not all of those phones are always on the network. The one thing money needs to do is work even offline.

The device you’re thinking of has 42 decibels of sound. You should be aware of that, I don’t think it’s actually fanless

Noise is going to be a huge factor for your home lab, so make sure you look at the data sheet for whatever you’re about to buy and check what it’s rated noise level is

From a showrunner perspective, you want to have a diverse set of sets, activities, and situations you can perform in. That leaves you either with wealthy characters, who can justify doing these things in these exotic places. Or poor characters who behave wealthy inexplicably.

Ie friends where people working dead end jobs had housing better than most millionaires.

Should we examine your profile?

Your username here is blow me, how is your dating app presence?

Are you putting up any red flags, without realizing it?

No, I’m pretty f****** loathe.

Governments dictating technical standards, is fine if it’s a regulatory body that’s dynamic, but bad if the technical standard is encodified in the law itself.

In the United States the American national standards association, as well as other bodies, set standards, and the government can dictate that you need to use a standard for mainstream device. That’s fine

But a lot saying you must use USB-C, that’s crazy. USB-C has a limited lifespan. Plus they’ll be innovation in the future.

I use tinder, it’s been really good for me.

The key is to use the app that is popular in your location.

Attitude is a huge factor, think of it just like meeting random people, maybe having great discussions, maybe having an excuse to go to event with somebody, having a good adventure. No pressure no expectations. If you have a plan people love to join the plan. So the initial swipe match game is what it is. You can have a friend with a good camera take some nice photos, you can show interesting places, interesting things, let the app choose your most engaging photo for you automatically.

When you talk to people find something interesting about them, ask them questions about it, have your own agenda, invite them to events you already have planned and no big deal if they don’t go. Surprisingly most people want to go and see what this cool thing you’re doing is. And then from there you know you can build up.

The dating apps are just a meeting place of people who are interested in meeting people. If you treat it like that, just like a happy hour, you’re going to have a great time

Well it’s a good thing at the moment, I am loath for governments to dictate technical specifications. I’d much rather they say electronics devices must adhere to a modern open standard. And if you are introducing your new standard, it has to be patented royalty free for other people to use
