It’s called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

Probably bandwidth. You download a game or five and then you’re good for a few weeks, whereas if you are streaming media you could run through several gigabytes a day of data per customer in perpetuity.
Obviously, with streaming media there is a continuously refreshing pool of money to cover those costs as compared to games being a one-time purchase, but even with that it would still take quite a while to expend the entire revenue of the purchased game in download expenses and storage overhead.
Jack is minimally lossy. It would change the audio just from the DAC operation and the noise floor but otherwise be pretty good.
It’s kind of like in the 1800s they believed that human beings could never generate enough pollutants to actually affect the Earth. There are intelligent opinions statements saying that the Earth was simply too large for anything a mere handful of 100 million humans could do to leave any lasting impact on.
Of course, they had no idea that we would swell to 8 billion humans or that the industrial revolution would take off quite so well as it did, but even today there are many people who believe that nothing that they individually do can leave any type of lasting ecological impact, positive or negative.
And because of that you have bum fuck HVAC technicians venting refrigerants into the atmosphere willy-nilly and assholes driving down the street throwing lit cigarette butts out in the middle of a drought and people just dumping their trash wherever they find an opportunity to dump it.
I said all of that to say that it’s probably likely that even minor usage of drugs cause effects that are at best difficult to quantify. I don’t think getting high one time is going to be the differentiation between a homeless bum and a Nobel Peace prize winner, but it might be the difference between someone who works a career and earns at their best $250,000 a year and someone who works a career and earns at their best $80,000 a year.
I could have sworn nicotine was technically a stimulant because it has vasoconstrictive properties.
And I don’t know anyone who has ever put off going to sleep in order to take more depressants.
Your powers of deduction are sherlockian and uncanny
I only have four fingers and a thumb but I have three penises and two vaginas and six titties.
I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.
She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn’t find it.
It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.
Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.
To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I’ve never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.
Yeah that’s literally getting to leave with a parade and arriving to being an instant celebrity.
This human being was around 3,000 years ago! They’ve traveled deep space through hypersleep! What mysteries do they have of the long forgotten and ancient past to reveal to us?
Also, here’s all of your space credits from the $1.67 you left in your savings account. You’re now a multi-trillionaire.
I’m in a similar boat, maybe a few steps further down the line than you but not that far.
Something that is really fun is getting a dynamic DNS set up with duckdns, and then put a certificate on it from certbot and then give all of your containers and self-hosted servers am SSL certificate and name using nginx reverse proxy.
If you do that and your Wi-Fi router has a VPN option then you can easily get rid of all of the certificate errors on your locally hosted stuff and navigate directly to them with a name rather than typing in IP addresses.
For me this was daunting but once I actually got it up and running it all made sense.
At $0.13/kwh 100 watts 24/7/365 will cost you $113.88 a year, or roughly $10 a month. Little things add up.
Mine is roughly 300 watts, much of which is from using an old computer as a NAS separate from my server server.
However, I put the whole thing in the basement next to my heat pump water heater which sucks the heat out of the air and puts it into my water, so I am ameliorating the expense by at least recapturing some of the *waste heat.
Since we are talking about cheap ssds, what do you guys think of netac?
Apparently it’s compared to the all powerful God brain in orbit around Saturn.
I vaguely remember reading that terms of service that violate basic rights are not going to be upheld in court.
I’m not a FUNimation subscriber but I hope that the people who are take Sony to court
Proof?
I read 15 different sites about DNS and not a one of them claimed anything like this. They universally all stated that your network attached devices would use the 1st one unless it didn’t respond and only use the 2nd one if the 1st one did not.
So once again, I ask “Can you send me some more information on this” and not just claim it without any backup information?
I apologize if I am coming off rude, just my BS meter is getting close to the red zone and I would really appreciate some reliable evidence.
Yeah, looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The second ipv4 DNS address is for redundancy and every network connected system will use the first one as long as it responds.
It’s perfectly fine to have a single pihole and use something like quad9 as a failover in the unlikely event that your pihole goes down unexpectedly.
Can you send me some more information on this because this is the first I’ve ever heard that it would not automatically pick the fastest closest and most responsive DNS system available.
No remote DNS server will ever be as fast as one that is local
If you’re router has a failover DNS option, usually listed as DNS 2, I would set something like quad 9 as your backup DNS. Address is 9.9.9.9.
If you don’t want to do that, then having a second instance of pihole running as the secondary DNS is pretty much your only good option
If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.
