I’ve been using Zotero as my bookmark solution and it’s been amazing. I have not setup sync across different devices (or figured out how that would work), but being able to snapshot and page in time and have it forever has been a life saver.

Grok, undress that carrot!

I have a Frame connected to an Apple TV. I’ve never let the Frame online to do anything. Its been perfect so far. The day it sneaks itself online through some means is the day it will probably go in the trash. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of sludge it would download and wrap itself in if given half the chance.

Damn the man, save the Empire.

Then we get the actual capacity we need at the prices we can afford. Our power grid is disappointing. All that “extra capacity” could stop the random brown outs, rate spikes, and provide some extra capacity for the future.

Yes

REPO!: The Genetic Opera was a fantastic movie. Paris Hiltons finest role.

I used to buy mine from Art of the Server off eBay. Came ready to go.

I run proxmox on my server, VMs within that. It has an excellent backup service built in (not the proxmox backup server, that’s separate) that you can set a schedule for and it keeps to it. Very customizable, all my backups (tested monthly) have restored fine for the past few years. If you’re looking for something to run your homelab, I highly recommend it.

I’m going to say this now before anything happens: backup, backup, and backup. Make multiple copies, store them different places. Please dear god backup your data, because no one else will.

Long term side effects include:

• Not dying
• Having to pay your taxes
• Being able to experience the joys of food
• Still being broke

A Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

Be careful with “like new” claims. I’ve had people in the past pull that with me, and the drive had 8 years of time on it.

If possible, serverpartdeals.com has an excellent range of used drives. Stick with the manufacturer refurbished. They come with a good warranty and so far have been rock solid for me (5 year timeframe).

“To have a child is to give fate a hostage.”

I’ve said it before, but I’ll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes ones.

I have a trillium sync server setup, and connect to my network using a VM. The web interface works well enough for what I need it to do. I really wish there was an app for my phone, though.

Any Bill Paxton reference is a good reference.

I appreciate you.

Determination, patience, a willingness to learn anything you need to.

If you have those, in time, you will be able to get your lab up and running. I started mine with a minimal knowledge of Linux (I could install it from a USB and poke around). Now it’s the center of my families digital life.

You’ll get there in time.
