I’m a carrier for USPS, I have a guy on my route who often orders Volkswagen parts from all over Europe. One day he got a replacement subframe for one of his VW’s from Estonia and it arrived at our office pretty beat up. When he needed to sign for it he saw the condition and I told him that’s how we received it. The shipper sent it by just sticking the subframe in a box, no padding, no supports, just a cardboard box for a trip around the world. He obviously was upset and had another one sent as a replacement after filing a claim.

The replacement was packaged exactly the same, and luckily only slightly bent on arrival. The old one is still sitting in our office in limbo.

If you’re gonna ship something overseas or across town package that shit properly

The absolute bliss

Same with me when I was in Brazil, it was chugging along just fine back in New England

Funny, just installed EOS on my new system and it’s been great! Only had a few small hiccups with setup due to the strange setup I have.

Ryzen 1200/GTX 960 small build running Linux Mint. There’s a UHD blu-ray drive in it as well with the custom firmware to rip disks. Media is stored on my NAS that handles Plex and transcoding. The parts were mostly old extras I had lying around, just needed the case, blu-ray drive and boot SSD. Oh and the like $20 wireless Logitech keyboard/track pad combo for control.

El Camino SS. I’m flexible on the year, I don’t mind the boxy look of the 80s models I just want that sweet ute style.

There was a very good condition one for sale near me a while back for $4,500, but it seemed too good to be true so I passed on inquiring about it. Plus I don’t really have the place to put it or the spare cash to spend, but once I get a place with a garage you bet your ass I’m buying one.

Eventually when I retire to Brazil or decide to just abandon the US I’ll get one of those Fiat Strada’s and put a better motor in it. There’s tons down there.

Same here, had Firefox installed since I got this phone in September and it’s still off (also just checked)

Interesting, I haven’t had any issues with things loading with mine, maybe it’s your adlists causing issues? Try disabling some, there might be false positives in there giving you issues

10400F running my NAS/Plex server and raspberry pi 5 running PiHole

This is truly what you were eating in this soup as a kid, WAS IT WORTH IT???

I learned that from this video years ago

Mines nothing special, i5 10400 with 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti for video encoding. System runs TrueNAS Scale for Plex and Immich and has 44TB of drives running through a Dell H310 PERC SAS card. I desperately need more storage but I’ve been lacking the funds for new drives, I’d also need a 5.25" drive bay converter to hold the 2 additional drives I need in this case since all the bays are full, and another SAS card since this one’s used up.

I’d like to move to Jellyfin but from what I’ve read it doesn’t do as well for streaming from outside the network compared to Plex and half the users of my server are outside my network. So it works for now.

Also have a Raspberry Pi 5 running PiHole

Also a buddy 3D printed a fan mount for the H310 to make sure it doesnt overheat when doing file transfers and I slapped a Noctua on it

I drink coffee daily, it gives me zero energy. I drink it for the taste and in the winter for the warmth. I’m exhausted at all times 😎🤙

I went to a Savers (local thrift store chain) about a month ago and they had a boxed Wii console in the glass case. It was used, not sealed, and they wanted $350 for it. I asked the guy if that was a mistake and he told me it was indeed the listed price. “I know for a fact this will never sell at this price because it’s been here for over a year.”

Some of these employees are just putting crazy prices.

Funny thing is, I don’t own a printer, so when I need documents printed I go to the local library. Their computers run Linux, and of all the times I’ve gone to get a print done it’s been an extremely flawless experience. No fuss, no hassle, just load up the document and print it.

Funny how today is the first day we’ve gotten any political fliers in my office, and the same day I see this. Didn’t take very long at all for a Magat to assault one of us over the election, and I guarantee it won’t be the last.

I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

Onya, Wade, bring more people to Linux.

Yes, and that was actually what I wanted from them. They’re open enough where I can hear through them at work without having to turn on a transparency mode. They’re just my work dirty buds so I don’t really care how they sound, just that they work (and they actually work better on Android than native iOS in my experience) and they take calls. Plus they’re not built like cheap crap.

Only if you’re a fan of his lobster
