Unfortunately with the US EV incentives gone the Slate is way overpriced for what it is. 150 mile range and manual crank windows and no radio or speakers at all on the base model for $28K. I can understand wanting a low tech vehicle but I think they might have gone a step too far.
My most recent run in with these fuckers involved one building a nest in the BED OF MY TRUCK and then stinging me after I drove to work and got out. Bastards. I respect most insects but wasps get the death spray without question.
Because other chains don’t say “my pleasure.”
Real talk, at least in my area CFA’s service is still head and shoulders above any other fast food restaurant. I will often choose them over other locations because I know I won’t be waiting around for 10-15mins for my order.
YouTube and social media drive a lot of it. I call them bandwagon distros.
My cat always has to come and loudly check on me when I get out of the shower. “DON’T YOU KNOW IT’S WET IN THERE?? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!”
Too new. I’m running Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I do not understand this but maybe it’s because I’m a guy and keep my keys in my front pocket. I keep literally the BARE MINIMUM of things on my key chain. So far as I even have separate keychains for separate vehicles instead of having one key chain for all of them. My SO on the other had has 2lbs of trinkets on her keychain.
Morning shower people are weird. Do you shower before bed and then in the morning as well or do you just get into bed with the day’s filth all over you?
Lol, she looks like a blowup doll to me.
Has anyone stopped to consider how the grass might feel about this? I didn’t think so.
Unfortunately manufacturers are starting to get wise to this as well. I recently bought a new Vizio smart TV with no intentions of connecting it to the internet and during the initial setup it kept very persistently insisting that it needed to be connected and after setup it constantly bitches at me that it’s not connected.
That’s sick! I ran a precision workstation 390 all the way up until 2016 before I finally decided to build myself a PC after years of building them for friends.
That’s interesting. I checked my logs and I only see a few hits for insights.navidrome.org but nothing for demo.navidrome.org. I’m on version 0.59.0 so I’m a little behind.
EDIT: Here’s some information about what data they collect and how to opt-out: https://navidrome.org/docs/usage/admin/insights/#what-will-be-collected
Completely disagree, but I suppose it’s a matter of preference.
I grew up thinking I didn’t like rice. It turns out I just didn’t like rice cooked like this. Do not drain rice. It ruins it. Cook it with just enough water for it to be absorbed by the rice. roughly 2:1
I mean, if you want a full mirror, rolling your own backup target is going to be the cheapest option even with the current high price of hardware. Other options are cloud storage, or using another media like tape. Cloud storage is of course an on going cost which rules it out for me, not to mention privacy concerns. There are certain “cold storage” options from cloud storage hosts which are considerably cheaper but they have limitations on how the data can be accessed and how often. The tape route is possible but it’s not really viable for home use due to the high upfront cost of the drives. Outside of that, backing up a subset of your storage as others have suggested is the only other option. Creating viable backups without breaking the bank is a challenge as old as computers, unfortunately.
So you have 56TB of total storage, but how much of that 56TB is actually used? Take the amount of storage used and add 10-12% to that figure. Now you create a new NAS (preferably off-site) with that amount of storage and that becomes your backup target. Take an initial backup (locally if possible to speed up the process) and then you can use something like rsync to create incremental backups going forward. This is the method I’ve used and so far it has worked out well. I target 10-12% more than the amount of used storage for my backup capacity because my storage use grows reasonably slowly. If your usage grows faster you might want to increase your “buffer” a little more so that you’re not having to constantly add drives to your backup target.
Stay away from the “bandwagon” distros for your first time. Bazzite, Pop_OS, Cachy, etc. There’s nothing wrong with them, but a lot more people use and have been using the more established distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc. So if you run into any weird edge case issues it’s much more likely that someone else has already been there and discovered solutions. Once you’re comfortable with Linux you can start exploring the more niche distros that are better tailored to you. Have fun!
Gnome and KDE both suck but in opposite ways. Want to change a behavior in Gnome? Well you better hope there’s an extension for that. Want to change a behavior in KDE? Sure. Good luck finding the fucking setting for it though. XFCE and Cinnamon are where it’s at. We also give a pass to MATE.
NOTE: These are my personal opinions and not a personal attack on you if you enjoy Gnome/KDE. Freedom of choice! 😁
Don’t get me wrong, I really love the idea as well and really hope for Slate to succeed and make the v2 even better. All previous EV pickups were targeting the full-size truck crowd, but I think a compact EV truck makes wayyy more sense!
