What are your thoughts on the UGreen NAS? Was thinking of picking up the 2 bay model as a Jellyfin and data backup server

I think we're already there with the stock market and weapon manufacturers... Been plenty of claims (but no actions) about various congressional reps buying and selling stock ahead of world events.

Turned my car on once and Merzbow started playing automatically. Had a hard time trying to explain what it was to her. 😁

That is wild LOL. Yeah, I'm stumped. Might be worth prying up under the dryer and checking the joists for damage / load bearing issues. Weight dispersal is the only other thing I can think of

"Little Electric Chair" by Iggy Pop ends like that... checking WhoSampled... and I can't find anyone that's sampled it. Hmmmmmm, this sounds familiar, now my brain's stuck on it

Any water damage to it? Might've been to lift it above if there's a leak or the drain backs up. Maybe a poorly thought out temperature or sound insulator?

I got into so much trouble after I installed it on my high school's print server... 😅 Taught one friend how to telnet into it from the library PCs, then everyone was using study hall time to play it

I will say, one benefit to iLok is that I wiped my PC and it was nice to cherry pick in a UI what plugins I really needed to reinstall versus all the crap I've collected over the years. Wish someone had figured out a Steam for VSTs but instead it's a pile of half baked vendor apps.

Just tried to make the Linux switch... Had one issue I couldn't workaround. HP locks their laptop fan controls to their Windows app. My CPU was hitting 80 C and overheating building code and the fans never kicked on. Had to switch back to Win11.

Software dev here, the cons are enormous. People at my job are on the hype train expecting huge productivity boosts, but have no idea how much extra work it is to fix AI slop code. Thank God for human code reviews to catch the crap it adds in. And now there's open hostility to it from my peers

Was weird the first few times, but it's way better than missing out on a cool experience just because my wife's music tastes are different. My biggest issue is when the concert starts at 7 but the headliner doesn't go on stage until midnight. 😁

Kind of relieved to see I'm not the only person that does this. 😁 I've got a bunch of Pathfinder 1st & 2nd edition books that I still haven't gotten to use
