Unfortunately not all theives understood the difference, so while your car might not be stolen, you could still end up with a smashed window.

Asking for myself.

I don’t know why you’re trying to protect your perverted friend with such a transparent ruse.

Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.

That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.

The casino takes them.

I’ll trade you as mine all seem to be made for someone several inches shorter than me.

They’re slowly upgrading our work machines and I’m not looking forward to finally being forced to use it.

Any smart TV can do that if you don’t connect it to the internet.

You gotta level strength and dexterity with the Firekeeper first. What did you pick as your starting class?

It’s pretty bad, though I do like the console and game library otherwise (and in spite of Nintendos shenanigans). Trying to play two player minecraft with my kid is a sure-fire way to get it to freeze completely.

Wasn’t the rest of that season them showing how the people lived after they left the island but before reaching the church? It has also been years for me.

Let’s all meet at the church and kum ba yah.

As a character literally named “Christian Shephard” leads us into the gates of heaven. 🤮

I think you guys are looking to deeply and it was just a joke about the burnt hedge being replaced with a flammable fence (vinyl).

Bud, if you got hired, you’d have to delete this account, so I think you really need to ask yourself what is most important in life.

And your Thanksgiving turkey will never look at you the same way again.

Yeah cause then you can fire her for drug use and you don’t have to pay any unemployment!

I would (read: does) keep it that way. When your server inevitably goes belly up because of a misconfigured firewall or whatever you’ll thank yourself when the lights still turn on and your robot vacuum keeps going.

I have considered that and am not 100% decided either way but would love the convenience of having everything in one place though this can also he a drawback like you mentioned and “in one place” is just a matter of opening a new browser tab even if it’s on a separate machine, so maybe not really worth it. The Pi actually boots off a SSD since I’ve been burned by faulty SD cards in the past so it should be solid.

What’s wrong with keeping your old hardware?

I would actually love to reuse as much as possible since a primarily media server doesn’t need a lot of horsepower. I am wanting to go to an Intel CPU with an iGPU so that I could ditch the 1080TI and I can get them for a discounted price, but another user suggested the 5700g which would allow me to keep the mobo and RAM. The case is actually fantastic for being quiet, and the PSU is a decent platinum grade from when it was originally built. So all is looking good here except for the data transfer aspect since I need an intermediary machine to transfer from but I do have a few SFF PCs, micro PCs and laptops sitting around collecting dust that might be up to the task.

As for the OS. “Not Windows” is probably a bit intimidating at first but you seem to be pretty technical so it isn’t really an issue as long as you can read and process information.

This is going to be another challenge as I have played around with Ubuntu in the past and have a basic understanding of CLI, but struggled with random issues and getting myself into trouble and not knowing how to get back out of it. “You don’t know what you don’t know” was really in play after stuff like an update would cause everything to come crashing down and not knowing why. With my hobbies, it seems like something I really should learn but have really struggled with. I’m sure a lot was hidden with editing magic but the video I watched on TrueNAS made it look easy to pick up with a nice GUI so that I’m not spending all my time pasting esoteric commands into a terminal.

I wouldn’t mind a mini rack but don’t have anywhere to put it. Maybe when we move to a new house someday, that’ll be one of the first things I get.

How’s transcoding on the 5700g? I know Intel is praised for their iGPU and recall AMDs being less universally compatible but this was with discrete GPUs and may be several years out of date.

I actually do have a couple Optiplex micro PCs sitting around so maybe I’ll try one of those out for my general PC needs. I had considered using them as the brains of a server in the past but there’s no logical HDD storage option outside of a NAS and I’m not going to drop $2k on a box to hold and control some HDDs. DAS boxes and other external drive enclosures just seem pretty risky and unreliable.

You’re right that the migration is going to be the biggest hurdle, especially without adding some new machine in the mix. If anyone wants to volunteer to come hold my hand while I fumble through it, let me know 😅
