You’ve been sitting in the drive through for 10 minutes how do you not know what to order?!

Me, 16 years old, on the other end of the speaker

Yeah it’s pricey, very pricey, but the risks are just too high for a home not to be properly grounded anymore. Homeowners have had 50 years to do it, it’s time to get it done.

I know that the answer is yes

I mean, there you go, and all of the above. I’d add in a pretty large fire risk too. I hear my battery backups kick in regularly, and we’re talking about enough power to equal a large appliance (at least in my case). It’s 100% worth it to move them to a grounded outlet.

They are, but I’m still disheartened. Googlers tried to take a stand last year and they immediately paid them all off

Literally relevant XKCD!

Enjoy, friend, it’s one of the longest running and best webcomics. https://xkcd.com (His books are great too)

That’s great! Unfortunately for every one of them there’s 4x more who gladly would

I really like the GPL license for that reason. Take it, use it, be merry. But don’t you dare use it in a closed source project, and you have to give me credit

Oh man if you don’t recognize xkcd… You’re in for a treat reading through them all

Nothing proves a backup like forcing yourself to simulate a recovery! I like to make one setting change, then make a backup, and then delete everything and try to rebuild it from scratch to see if I can do it and prove the setting change is still there

Exactly right there with the not worrying. Getting started can be brutal. I always recommend people start without worrying about it, be okay with the idea that you’re going to lose everything.

When you start really understanding how the tech works, then start playing with backups and how to recover. By that time you’ve probably set up enough that you are ready for a solution that doesn’t require setting everything up again. When you’re starting though? Getting it up and running is enough

I love that you reversed it, when it should be “how terrible do Americans have it where we have to commute so far just to get to work”

Red 8TB+ are CMR, OP said they’re using 14TB drives, they’re fine

WD Red has always been my go-to, and in the last 8 years of homelabbing I haven’t had a single one fail. Blues and Greens are not build for NAS operations, and you’ll see them fail. Toshibas I haven’t had a single one make it past a year, except for their gaming drives.

If you want the shortcut, the WD Elements usually go on sale at Best Buy regularly, and they’re always a WD Red or White, which will also work. All of my drives have been one of those. You just shuck the internal drive out of the enclosure

Unfortunately both 0.19.4 and 0.19.5 are hanging for me when spinning up my containers, getting some weird issue with inbox timeouts. Opened a bug here

Implication was that you stayed there overnight, and didn’t have to worry about needing clean clothes

Fully agree with it, but they’re still extremely popular, and people will gladly keep handing over their money.

For me, I say “Ok” to them wanting us to get used to not owning our content - followed with “Then I’ll pay rental prices. Which means I’m not buying at $60+ dollars, if all I get to do is rent it then I’ll pay <$15 going forward.”

Big companies will constantly work against open standards.

I’m sure they will be slightly inconvenienced for the duration of a single meeting
