7:01:34 PMnoeman5 Hopefully YouTube will cooperate today.
7:02:06 PMSolbu Oh wow. he sit's behind the group desk.

7:02:31 PMSashaR Nope! But at least you can't tell tonight :)
7:02:58 PMTheFu Power wash not working?
7:03:00 PMSashaR I already miss being there :/
7:03:53 PMMarshMan Havenโ€™t really started the shopping yet
7:04:12 PMnoeman5 Tonight @RobbieF is the lonely bald nerd.
7:04:23 PMSashaR I'm done "ish"! Hi Robbie :):)
7:04:40 PMRobbieF https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/657010374297780234/IMG_20191218_190426.jpg
7:04:53 PMMarshMan Work has been chaotic
7:05:02 PMABQTKY Did he say weather?? Up there in the NORTH WOODS it could be...challenging!!
7:05:24 PMTheFu Hey - just got a $5 Kindle credit on AMZ ... for browsing a book? Didn't buy anything.
7:05:24 PMSashaR Yep.... I wouldnt have made it!
7:05:42 PMSolbu So, RobbieF is not getting home tonightโ€ฆ :D
7:06:05 PMnoeman5 Coffee is up
7:06:12 PMbp9 G'day @SashaR hope you're enjoying the couch ๐Ÿ™‚
7:06:27 PMbp9 Hi @RobbieF !
7:06:32 PMTheFu At least it isn't an airport stranding.
7:06:44 PMABQTKY Nice! And a few hours of shoveling when RobbieF does get home...hours and hours from now! 8-|
7:07:07 PMSashaR https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/657010993658069003/JPEG_20191218_190701.jpg
7:07:21 PMMarshMan Looks like lake effect snow up there
7:07:35 PMbp9 @SashaR nice!! ๐Ÿ™‚
7:07:36 PMMarshMan Beautiful @SashaR
7:07:40 PMTheFu After the plows go through and he has to dig out the drive entrance first. Hopefully, before it freezes into a block.
7:07:42 PMnoeman5 Nice pic @SashaR
7:07:48 PMSashaR Comfy and warm :)
7:08:06 PMSolbu RobbieF: When was the last time you were all alone in the studio?
7:08:11 PMSolbu โ€ฆ during a show.
7:08:23 PMMarshMan Plows probably wonโ€™t get there for quite some time
7:08:33 PMnoeman5 Ghosts of seasons past. lol
7:08:42 PMABQTKY Oh, gee. Audio static??
7:08:46 PMTheFu Anyone else hear the audio crackles?
7:08:48 PMnoeman5 Audio is breaking a bit
7:08:49 PMMarshMan Sound breaking up?
7:09:02 PMSashaR I hear it too :/
7:09:06 PMameriDroid I'm hearing them.
7:09:07 PMSolbu Yea, sound is stuttering.
7:09:25 PMbp9 Yup, here too
7:09:29 PMSolbu Maybe the tubes are freesing.
7:09:30 PMSolbu :D
7:09:48 PMTheFu No stuttering here, but cracking.
7:09:58 PMMarshMan I am waving but he doesnโ€™t see me
7:09:59 PMTheFu like a loose connection.
7:10:18 PMbp9 Sounds like his mic battery is giving out
7:10:18 PMSolbu Stuttering, cracking. same crap,
7:10:20 PMSashaR He'll check the chat in a sec no doubt
7:10:24 PMnoeman5 Edit out the meatball comments
7:10:27 PMbp9 or he's getting out of range of the receiver
7:12:13 PMSashaR I need to be there!
7:12:19 PMTheFu Sasha ... just 1 minute?
7:12:26 PMMarshMan @RobbieF sound issues
7:12:52 PMMarshMan Crackling
7:12:54 PMnoeman5 stuttering
7:13:06 PMTheFu Loose connection crackles.
7:13:19 PMSolbu The series of tubes are frozen.
7:13:33 PMSolbu โ€ฆ clogled by to much snow.
7:13:36 PMSashaR Crackles
7:13:54 PMbp9 not youtube; roku channel is also suffering
7:13:54 PMTheFu Pretty constant.
7:14:18 PMnoeman5 still stuttering, cracking
7:14:32 PMMarshMan I tried calling. Guess that made his phone ring. ๐Ÿ˜›
7:14:48 PMSashaR You rock @marshman
7:14:51 PMSolbu Hehe
7:15:02 PMbp9 I agree with TheFu, it sounds for all the world like there is a loose connection somewhere.
7:15:11 PMameriDroid You're still cutting out and crackling.
7:15:43 PMameriDroid It's also happening on Roku
7:16:03 PMSolbu Same with kodi. Sound cracling.
7:16:05 PMTheFu no video or other audio issues that I'm noticing.
7:16:32 PMSashaR Lol... What's mine is yours (in this case, literally)
7:17:02 PMameriDroid Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
7:17:15 PMABQTKY RobbieF So long as you're happy 8-| The audio doesn't bother me, I'm deaf in one ear and the other one doesn't work.
7:17:16 PMameriDroid Are you sure it's plugged in?
7:17:20 PMbp9 @RobbieF as long as your master recording is OK then I say just keep plowing on
7:17:21 PMSashaR Still so crackly
7:17:25 PMTheFu NO! ... oh - maybe. He is running Windows. ;)
7:17:46 PMSolbu that's it. We blame Windows!
7:17:51 PMTheFu Always.
7:18:22 PMameriDroid Speed test. Net?
7:18:25 PMnoeman5 Now no video
7:18:37 PMbp9 @RobbieF when you made that long helooooo, you can hear the problem clearly
7:18:48 PMSashaR Maybe the weather has everything amuck
7:18:51 PMSolbu Robbie. just to be sure, check the recording, to eliminate hardware issues.
7:18:53 PMMarshMan Seemed rhythmic when you went aaaaaaaahhhh
7:19:12 PMnoeman5 Just reloaded the page, it came back
7:19:41 PMSashaR Nope
7:19:52 PMnoeman5 yep
7:20:15 PMnoeman5 Heard the breakup during the long aaaaaa.
7:20:16 PMSolbu I am at home.
7:20:17 PMSolbu :D
7:20:27 PMMarshMan Captain, sheโ€™s breaking up!
7:20:32 PMSolbu Hehe
7:20:36 PMABQTKY Maybe it's not YouTube, not Robbie's mic, not Studio D, not the new server - maybe CANADA is messed up tonight!!
7:21:11 PMbp9 @RobbieF do you hear it in your own earpiece? Presumably if yourr master recording is OK I say keep going.
7:21:28 PMSolbu ABQTKY: Yea, Canada is protesting the new Youtube COPPA rules. ;-)
7:21:39 PMABQTKY We can call it Ontario's blizzard of the century!
7:21:51 PMSashaR I agree... If you don't hear it, keep going!
7:22:05 PMnoeman5 Just reloaded the page, says the show is live in 21 minutes. Ha Ha
7:22:33 PMSolbu the Warp engine is offline.
7:22:44 PMSashaR The "nope" was for the "is this better?"
7:23:24 PMnoeman5 Solbu, ๐Ÿ‘
7:23:26 PMMarshMan @SashaR now you see what we deal with. Lag time can be confusing
7:23:52 PMnoeman5 bath weather?
7:23:54 PMameriDroid Yay! It's fixed!
7:23:55 PMMarshMan Better!!
7:24:12 PMameriDroid Tell us what you did to fix it.
7:24:40 PMSolbu ยซToday on category5 TV โ€“ Test one two. Don't go anywhere.ยป
7:24:52 PMbp9 Oh yeah, reconnected after your restart and it does sound better.
7:24:58 PMnoeman5 The audio has mono?
7:25:00 PMbp9 Do some more long ahhaaaaaaaaah
7:25:06 PMameriDroid Perfect.
7:25:07 PMMarshMan Nice!!!
7:25:11 PMnoeman5 perfect
7:25:14 PMSashaR Fixed :):):)
7:25:31 PMbp9 Yep, it's fixed
7:25:52 PMnoeman5 You'll get home by morning.
7:25:56 PMSashaR This time I'm not the cause of the delay!
7:25:59 PMameriDroid If you have any spare blizzard, send some to us here in N. Cali. I'd appreciate it.
7:26:04 PMSolbu Communications are Go for launch.
7:26:05 PMMarshMan YT is good
7:26:18 PMbp9 @RobbieF you'll be there all night so you have plenty of time ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚
7:26:53 PMSolbu He's gonna Push the Buttonโ€ฆ
7:27:02 PMTheFu Best Xmas gag gift you've gotten someone else?
7:27:11 PMMarshMan The.Big.Red.Button
7:27:19 PMnoeman5 That case on the desk is NASty. lol
7:27:35 PMMarshMan Nyuk Nyuk
7:27:57 PMSolbu Got the target in sight.
7:28:07 PMbp9 It's so nice to be home by 5:30pm (central) now
7:28:45 PMameriDroid That's only for people who care what the video looks like.
7:28:47 PMMarshMan Anyone els have video artifacts
7:29:10 PMbp9 @MarshMan nope
7:29:17 PMABQTKY Ah, bp9, it's 6:30CST right now isn't it??
7:29:22 PMMarshMan May switch to Roku
7:29:28 PMbp9 Just lower resolution but @RobbieF already said that.
7:29:57 PMbp9 ABQTKY yup
7:30:18 PMTheFu And crackles are back?
7:30:26 PMbp9 Hey look, @RobbieF has hair!
7:30:32 PMTheFu and echo.
7:30:34 PMnoeman5 Oh oh, the audio has artifacts now.
7:30:49 PMbp9 Yup, audio is messed up again
7:31:18 PMABQTKY Ahh, we're here for techie content, not for audio aesthetics, right?
7:31:24 PMameriDroid It was fine until you switched back from the intro.
7:31:27 PMnoeman5 Now @robbie has the choice of intro's to edit in
7:31:32 PMMarshMan @RobbieF audio issues again. Snap crackle and pop
7:31:34 PMSashaR This is sad :((
7:31:38 PMTheFu Yep - intro was clear.
7:31:45 PMbp9 Again, if the master recording is good, keep on going!!!
7:31:51 PMMarshMan I am on Roku now
7:31:56 PMameriDroid Now it's fine
7:31:58 PMnoeman5 audio fixed
7:32:03 PMTheFu seems fine now.
7:32:18 PMTheFu You toggled back and forth ...
7:32:20 PMameriDroid As soon as you switched back from the intro, it was fine.
7:32:25 PMameriDroid Nope. Still fine.
7:32:39 PMTheFu Yep. Good.
7:32:51 PMameriDroid Do It!
7:32:53 PMABQTKY It's obviously RobbieF's electrostatic personality.
7:32:54 PMTheFu Keep going!
7:33:03 PMGuest_7544 Sounded like you are underwater
7:33:05 PMnoeman5 Like Nike says, just do it
7:33:10 PMMarshMan Keep rolling!!
7:33:23 PMGuest_7544 5 x 5
7:33:24 PMnoeman5 Rollin' on the River
7:33:36 PMbp9 I say keep going
7:34:03 PMbp9 Don't worry about streaming issues. Just make sure master recording is good.
7:34:27 PMnoeman5 Just had video buffering.
7:34:49 PMnoeman5 only a couple seconds though
7:35:24 PMMarshMan Roku is good. Just a looooooooooong lag
7:35:45 PMABQTKY Wait just a minute - he switched to Sasha's chair several MINUTES ago - and that just played again. We're experiencing having temporal anomalies, captain!!
7:36:32 PMABQTKY (proofread carefully to see if you added any spurious words.
7:39:00 PMMarshMan My girlfriend just joined!! Yay!!!!
7:39:22 PMABQTKY Okay, I got rid of YouTube. I'm on live.cat5.tv now. At what looks like 144p. But that's okay, RobbieF still has those specular highlights up top! 8-)
7:39:31 PMSashaR I noticed.... I hope that's the Mrs :):)
7:39:44 PMMarshMan It is
7:39:45 PMameriDroid @MarshMan I thought you were just going to tell us your Gluten Free cousin joined.
7:39:54 PMMarshMan She is
7:40:16 PMSashaR She does not contain gluten?
7:40:31 PMMarshMan Nope. No gluten in her
7:40:38 PMMarshMan No diry either
7:41:03 PMSashaR Bahaha... Me neither!
7:41:13 PMbp9 @RobbieF those hard disks will probably generate quite a bit of heat FYI
7:41:22 PMnoeman5 no we can't @RobbieF
7:42:26 PMMarshMan Will @RobbieF do the news? ๐Ÿค”
7:42:39 PMSashaR I hope so :):):):)
7:42:52 PMMarshMan So we can pick on him this week
7:43:20 PMSashaR He'll likely be perfect! (He writes the stories!)
7:43:31 PMMarshMan We shall see
7:44:26 PMSashaR I wouldn't mind a slight stumble :)
7:44:35 PMnoeman5 Writing and speaking are two different things though
7:44:36 PMTheFu apt search xfs
7:45:14 PMMarshMan Agreed TheFu
7:45:59 PMTheFu Most other file systems use the {fs}-tools package naming scheme.
7:47:32 PMTheFu xfs has been around since the mid-1990s with Irix.
7:47:35 PMABQTKY Don't even mention power outages during a blizzard, RobbieF!!!
7:48:36 PMSolbu I would use cfdisk
7:48:42 PMSashaR He is so great to be doing this solo!
7:49:07 PMMarshMan He had done for a while waaaaaaaay back when
7:49:29 PMMarshMan Back in the day of the gerbil cam
7:49:38 PMSolbu to list all drives and partitions, I would use ยซlsblkยป
7:50:02 PMMarshmanGF Hello from gluten free me. Robbie you're crushing it! I joined just to tell him that.
7:50:07 PMTheFu With LVM+ext4, I formatted a disk this week in under 5 seconds.
7:50:23 PMTheFu 4TB zise.
7:51:29 PMbp9 @RobbieF I'm confused -- how is your NAS connected to your laptop? USB?
7:53:19 PMMarshMan Wireless
7:54:18 PMbp9 How is he accessing the hard drives (mkfs, etc) without direct access?
7:54:31 PMbp9 Seems like he's working with the hard drives directly
7:55:15 PMbp9 OH!!!! maybe he is ssh'd into the NAS?
7:56:39 PMbp9 Nope, he's on robbie-laptop
7:57:14 PMMarshMan He can touch type test two
7:58:07 PMGopher hmm not sure what all that is on the mount command
7:59:52 PMTheFu man mount
7:59:59 PMSolbu Yes, you can mix a 500 GB drive and a 1 TB drive in raid, but the usable size is determined by the slammest drive.
8:00:11 PMSolbu i actually do this in a PBX, as a test.
8:00:13 PMTheFu Some file systems have specific options.
8:00:18 PMMarshMan @RobbieF How is the laptop coonected to the NAS
8:00:21 PMTheFu man mount.xfs
8:01:08 PMbp9 @RobbieF I'm trying to understand how your laptop is interacting directly with you NAS drives
8:02:25 PMTheFu So it is a DAS in this mode.
8:02:40 PMbp9 Yep, makes sense now
8:02:42 PMTheFu Direct-Attached Storage.
8:02:49 PMbp9 Thanks @RobbieF and @MarshMan
8:03:31 PMMarshMan ๐Ÿฅ“ ๐Ÿฅ“
8:06:36 PMTheFu The file systems don't care if you format using x86 or ARM?
8:06:59 PMnoeman5 I may go this route with my house NAS. I was going to use old hardware, but I think this will be much quicker.
8:07:25 PMnoeman5 Old, as in spare hardware.
8:07:25 PMTheFu So, XFS on ARM and XFS on x86 are 100% compatible.
8:07:49 PMSolbu ยซOver to you Sasha, oh, I'm alone.ยฉ
8:07:53 PMSolbu ยป
8:08:16 PMnoeman5 Hi, I'm Sasha Rickman and you're doing nothing.
8:08:18 PMbp9 @SashaR says "Good luck @RobbieF !"
8:08:23 PMMarshMan Oh please! All those grays!
8:08:31 PMTheFu noeman5 - for USB3 the ability to move bytes between the USB bus and the NIC matters. Older hardware, say 10+ yrs old can't usually keep up.
8:08:45 PMMarshmanGF @MarshMan this should get a 5 bacon review!
8:09:02 PMSashaR Haha... He'll do great!
8:09:37 PMTheFu noeman5 - but almost any hardware made in the last 7 yrs with full USB3 and GigE networking will work fine.
8:09:54 PMRobbieF Hello
8:10:01 PMSolbu ยซโ€ฆ won't be big and professional, like GNUยป
8:10:52 PMnoeman5 @RobbieF was saying "oh good, I'm in" just as 'hello' appeared on the Discord screen. Only momentary lag.
8:10:59 PMSashaR That intro will haunt me forever lol. I should make a tshirt with it!
8:11:00 PMSashaR That intro will haunt me forever lol. I should make a tshirt with it!
8:11:01 PMSashaR That intro will haunt me forever lol. I should make a tshirt with it!
8:11:18 PMMarshMan He messed up his own name!!!!!!!!!
8:11:22 PMSolbu Hehehe
8:11:27 PMMarshMan Yayyyyyyyy!!!!
8:11:46 PMSolbu SashaR: See, it's not just you having problems reading the news. :-)
8:13:10 PMnoeman5 Hi @baldricthebrave , you wouldn't by any chance happen to be a Blackadder afficionado would you?
8:13:23 PMSashaR My phone is being dodgy :/.... So I can't even participate in witty banter!
8:13:34 PMMarshMan I thought the same @noeman5
8:13:53 PMnoeman5 Got the whole series on disc
8:14:11 PMMarshMan Need to wait a few minutes before @baldricthebrave can post
8:16:06 PMMarshMan No zoom in on @RobbieF for the news
8:17:27 PMTheFu Wimped out on those names!
8:17:44 PMSashaR ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
8:17:50 PMnoeman5 Ha, Ha, now he's channeling @SashaR on name pronunciation.
8:18:00 PMMarshMan That's Eye Gor!
8:18:22 PMnoeman5 ๐Ÿ˜„ @MarshMan
8:19:04 PMMarshMan Scary stuff, eh, kids?
8:19:48 PMnoeman5 Taking a lesson from Cisco?
8:19:52 PMSashaR Names can be tricky... I'm happy I'm not alone :)
8:20:24 PMSolbu It's not that he developed it on company time, but in this parts of the world contracts can say that all coding done by workers, even on their own free time, belong to the company.
8:20:40 PMSolbu i have seen such contracts.
8:20:57 PMTheFu Solbu - I've been under contracts like that in the USA.
8:21:17 PMTheFu It was extremely common until around 2006-ish.
8:21:22 PMSolbu In my country, Norway, those contracs are legally void
8:21:24 PMSashaR Robbie... You are doing awesome!!!
8:21:33 PMRobbieF Aww, thanks @SashaR
8:21:44 PMRobbieF Trying to make all the tech go!
8:22:15 PMTheFu MSFT was known to have "anything you think about, we own" contracts for many decades. Home, work, show, gym, car ... they owned it.
8:22:33 PMTheFu s/show/shower/
8:22:37 PMRobbieF yikes
8:22:44 PMSolbu I refuse to sign such contracts.
8:23:20 PMTheFu When you are 23 yrs old and don't have work, need to pay rent or move back home 2KM away ... you sign.
8:23:38 PMnoeman5 That better be a salaried position then, or I'd demand payment for my time.
8:23:41 PMTheFu 2k-km
8:24:22 PMbaldricthebrave Hey guys... haven't watch for several weeks. As its 1.24am in the UK...
8:24:33 PMMarshMan https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/657030475168350239/Screenshot_at_2019-12-18_20-24-09.png
8:25:09 PMTheFu Companies rarely hire hourly people for software development - unless they are desperate - or the person has 10+ yrs experience in extremely specific languages.
8:25:34 PMSolbu baldricthebrave: here in Norway it's 2:25 am. :-)
8:26:03 PMMarshMan Linux Rules!!
8:26:54 PMTheFu Where's Canada?
8:27:33 PMbaldricthebrave @Solbu#0000 show off ๐Ÿ˜‚
8:27:40 PMSolbu Hehe
8:27:57 PMSolbu TheFu: Canada is drowning in snow.
8:28:09 PMMarshMan Just Barrie
8:28:25 PMTheFu Only MSFT-sponsored supercomputers ever happened. License costs at volume license discounts still are millions for 4096 nodes.
8:28:42 PMTheFu That Q was about Canadian super computers.
8:29:07 PMMarshMan I thought that TheFu
8:29:27 PMMarshMan Canada doesn't look for prestige
8:29:37 PMMarshMan They spend their money elsewhere
8:30:38 PMTheFu What does India say about his death?
8:32:03 PMSolbu At least, he kept hs customers coins safeโ€ฆ :-)
8:32:38 PMbaldricthebrave Im new to this Cryto stuff. Can it be used as real money? Or is that just a really nube question?
8:33:13 PMbaldricthebrave Well done Robbie
8:33:19 PMSashaR Wow.... You did it!!!!
8:33:25 PMMarshMan TheFu - Canada has 9 in the top500 with 1.8%
8:33:40 PMMarshMan of the total
8:34:27 PMbp9 @RobbieF You hit it out of the park! Well done!
8:34:39 PMMarshmanGF ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘
8:35:06 PMTheFu UT-Austin #5! Hook 'em!
8:35:41 PMnoeman5 Now dash for the door, so you can get home before dawn.
8:35:45 PMbp9 Nice job @robbie!
8:35:59 PMSashaR I'll be on next decade!!!
8:36:00 PMTheFu Did Robbie bring his snow shoes?
8:36:25 PMameriDroid @baldricthebrave No, you can't use it as real money unless you find someone willing to exchange it for real money. You can use paper copies of the crypto "serial number" and crypto "key" to transfer the crypto to another person in exchange for whatever they're willing to give you for it.
8:36:30 PMbp9 @RobbieF did you keep the popophone? I gave up on mine.
8:36:32 PMRobbieF https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/657033488582836246/IMG_20191218_203608.jpg
8:36:38 PMMarshmanGF See you then @SashaR
8:36:50 PMTheFu If it is snowing, it isn't THAT cold outside.
8:36:50 PMbp9 looks very white out there
8:36:53 PMSashaR Oh my.... Drive safe Robbie
8:36:56 PMameriDroid Is that your car under the snow drift?
8:37:26 PMbaldricthebrave Wow thats rather deep... guess ur walking home?
8:38:02 PMTheFu Heated seats make all the difference. Warm tushy and all is right in the world. Yes, it is stupid, but true.
8:38:18 PMSolbu RobbieF: 4 wheel drive?
8:38:22 PMMarshMan It is true. Heated steering wheel too
8:38:58 PMbp9 Go home, @RobbieF ! Worry about post tomorrow!
8:39:01 PMTheFu If you don't have mtns, 2 wheel is fine. "Traction Control"
8:39:12 PMGuest_7544 Robbie what is a good wireless keyboard for ROKU 3, Ultra?
8:39:14 PMSolbu I have antispin too. It helps a lot.

8:40:52 PMTheFu Be safe everyone.
8:40:59 PMameriDroid I really like your NAS project.
8:41:03 PMnoeman5 Yes, I'll be following all the way.
8:41:07 PMbp9 @RobbieF Can't you do your post-production stuff at home? I just hate to think you're driving home in steadily worsening conditions.
8:41:11 PMMarshMan Good night everyone!
8:41:15 PMameriDroid I dislike proprietary NAS units that are useless when they break.
8:41:32 PMbp9 NAS: Yes but what other plans apart from sharable hard drive and RAID do you have for this?
8:41:43 PMbaldricthebrave Cheers Robbie... see ya next week guys...
8:42:10 PMnoeman5 Will you be posting a hardware list @RobbieF ?
8:43:18 PMSolbu RobbieF: One question. why don't you use the ยซlsblkยป command for listing drives?
8:43:20 PMnoeman5 Good night @RobbieF
8:43:41 PMameriDroid Good night all!
8:43:51 PMbp9 and..... boom, the stream goes down ๐Ÿ™‚
8:44:18 PMTheFu alias lsblk='lsblk -o name,size,type,fstype,mountpoint'
8:44:45 PMTheFu alias dft='df -hT -x squashfs -x tmpfs -x devtmpfs'
8:44:51 PMTheFu Two helpful aliases.

8:56:04 PMMarshmanGF May the goodness of bacon bring @RobbieF home safe!
8:56:42 PMbp9 @ameriDroid re NAS: as I get more curmudgeonly (read: older) I have less desire to build systems from scratch. I have a well known NAS that I like. Certainly not using all the features, but I do like the photo categorizing app on it --- that is done all locally on the NAS!
9:08:12 PMameriDroid @bp9 As I get more curmudgeonly, I have less desire to deal with proprietary garbage when it fails and it takes all my nicely categorized photos with it on it's proprietary hardware and impossible-to-figure-out RAID format. ๐Ÿ˜†
9:09:31 PMbp9 Well yes I won't argue with that point. Except to say: backup your stuff!
9:10:57 PMbp9 I backup the NAS on three hard drives, rotating through each one for each backup. So I have current, current - 1, and current - 2 always.
