When I was moving from a Windows NAS (God, fuck windows and its permissions management) on an old laptop to a Linux NAS I had to copy about 10TB from some drives to some other drives so I could re-format the drives as a Linux friendly format, then copy the data back to the original drives.

I was also doing all of this via terminal, so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds. I’m shocked I didn’t loose any data to be completely honest. Doing shit like that makes me marvel at modern GUIs.

Took about 3 days in copying files alone. When combined with all the other NAS setup stuff, ended up taking me about a week just in waiting for stuff to happen.

I cannot reiterate enough how fucking difficult it was to set up the Windows NAS vs the Ubuntu Server NAS. I had constant issues with permissions on the Windows NAS. I’ve had about 1 issue in 4 months on the Linux NAS, and it was much more easily solved.

The reason the laptop wasn’t a Linux NAS is due to my existing Plex server instance. It’s always been on Windows and I haven’t yet had a chance to try to migrate it to Linux. Some day I’ll get around to it, but if it ain’t broke… Now the laptop is just a dedicated Plex server and serves files from the NAS instead of local. It has much better hardware than my NAS, otherwise the NAS would be the Plex server.

Make sure you count those windows backed kiosk things. Also, assuming you’re the techie of the family, no tech support this month.

I could be wrong, as I’m no expert, but cloud flare’s proxy limits file uploads to about 1GB. I had to disable it to upload larger videos to immich. For other services, probably decent advice.

Just wanna say thanks for posting something OC and interesting here. All of the other things I’ve seen have been shitty “memes” that should’ve stayed on Facebook.

I used the wrong lugs on the OEM winter wheels on my RSX. At first I didn’t know any better (conical vs ball seat), but once the damage had been done I kept using them. The OEM wheels were already fairly rough when I bought the car. Oops, but at least I know better now, and at least I was doin’ better than this guy.

I don’t want to fight the biking horde, I just want to be a gearhead.

I agree with a lot of what the Fuck Cars community has to say (the name sucks though). Cars are often not the best solution. Good public transit means only the people who want to drive are on the road, which means less morons. Oh no - they might shut down some city streets, the worst place to drive anyways.

Cars are loud, it’s a fact. As a gearhead, I don’t like generic road noise. Cool engines with tasteful exhausts? Yeah. A corolla driving past making nothing but tire noise? Nah. I’ll take a quiet downtown please.

Being a public transit/bicycling enthusiast and a car enthusiast is very possible. Public transit and good bike infrastructure make driving better, and no one should be forced to drive if they don’t want to, just like you aren’t being forced to take public transit or bike.

This community is very odd. The only posts I see getting traction on here are awful things like this. This post isn’t for car enthusiasts, this is for Facebook.

Take good photos too, it helps more than you’d think.

I rarely find a situation where I need a feature that doesn’t exist that’s important enough to me to implement it myself. It’s a heck of a lot easier to just, for example, purchase things that already work with an existing home assistant integration.

I suppose I could contribute with bug fixes and such, but I have a lot of hobbies that I’m already busy with, and I do development work as my main job.

That’s a gatekeeper-y take. I tried Linux a few years back, so I guess I became a “real” tech geek a few years ago. Never mind the fact that I was 3/4 the way through a CS degree, I’d built my own computer, and was the go-to tech guy in my family. But nope, not yet a tech geek.

Yeah, I’m not sure what OP is on about or how they get away with it. I’d get phone calls for how to use outlook and MS word. I’m fortunate to have a fairly tech literate grandma, but she is old, which means set in her ways. She probably could use Linux, but she would not see the point in putting in the effort to switch habits.

Very helpful link, appreciate it.

If I did this they wouldn’t be my loved ones for long…

Buy the board game and play it over a video call is the only real solution.

That’s easy to figure out. There are speedometer apps that get your speed via GPS. They aren’t good for 0-60 times, as their refresh rate isn’t great, but they’re awesome for setting your cruise where you want it or checking accuracy/offset of speedometers. My favorite is digihud pro for a one time fee.

That is normalish, from what I’ve seen. My grandpa’s GMC truck from the early 2010s displays differently on the gauge and the digital readout. I think my Uncle’s late 2010s buick is the same.
