  • And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

    Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

    That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

    There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

    Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

    I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3




  • Literally had a show about it

    Which was quote meta considering he literally had a show about it.

    Man I wonder what Tim Allen’s been up to. I wonder if he did another show literally about performing masculinity where he literally has a show about performing masculinity in the show.

    Man that’d be wild.

    To me, Art is a catalyst for discussion, reflection, and expression.

    So yes, I view internet trolling as a form of art. Maybe not capital A Art, but is it not the art of a sub culture? A way to catalyze discussion, debate, expression? A well crafted message that in often a hundred words or less that sparks endless debates and reactions?

    Is the art the catalyst or the consequences?

    Is the art the banana or my feelings about it?

    To me I think its all art.


  • Its probably a parent company situation.

    Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

    The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

    Capitalism baby!
