I read they knew about steam power for a long time but couldn’t make the engines / containers / doohickies strong enough to contain the pressure.

Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.

I think we all assume that any actor with a decent recurring role in a hit TV show is earning thousands an episode. I often look up actors on IMDB while I’m watching something where I know I’ve seen them before, and it’s amazing how many times you see they have gone years without being in anything. Some may be doing theatre, but a lot of familiar faces are often only in 1 thing a year, or go a couple of years without being in anything then have 2-3 episodes. I really feel it’s not a viable career for most. Yet the execs make millions. This actor - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2895488/?ref_=tt_cl_t_12 - Susan Park, for example. She was in the first Fargo TV series in 2014, 5 episodes, which is where I remember her from. Then between 2014 and 2020 she was in a total of 29 TV episodes. Let’s be generous and say she earned $10000 per episode. That’s only $48333 a year on average. And 11 of those were 2016-2017, so between 2017 and 2020 she was in 6 episodes. She then was cast in Snowpiercer in 2020 and has been in other stuff since (High Desert most recently). She also did some minor film roles, I doubt the pay was much for those. So this is an actor I recognise who has been in some major TV shows, yet is out of work a lot.

I just bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q Mini Tiny Desktop PC Computer i5 6400T 1TB SSD Win 10 Pro from Ebay for $289 AUD and plugged in some oldish external SSDs and HDDs and now have 10TB of storage. I’m really pleased with it, it took about half an hour to install Proxmox and I’ve now got 5 VMs up and running.

I wouldn’t recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it’s not a NAS as such, it’s a bit limited; I’d go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.

Thanks for the responses; it seems I can’t really do it. I looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB. I’m using the VM for a media server and thought it would be better to have 1 4TB space instead of 2 2TB disks. At the end of the day it isn’t a big deal, I just thought I’d be able to present both disks as 1.

I use uptime kuma for monitoring - really easy to set up and very versatile

But I can see this embolden racists / homophobes. They are generally dumb, and will probably refuse to serve people citing this decision and will either end up in court or get away with it.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I think Tailscale is the way to go, it didn’t take me long to set up and there is a client for all my devices.

Adding my 2c - I think it depends on if you want something that just works out of the box, or if you want to tinker and play with a DIY solution. I have a Synology DS220+ that just works, is easy to manage, has loads of apps etc. I also have a Raspberry Pi with Openmediavault installed and 3 SSDs attached which required a bit of setup, is more complex to get things working, also has apps (plugins) but is more of a project.

Can it do legs?

I’ve lost count of the docker containers / hosted stuff I’ve spun up, only to realise I don’t use it. It’s fun though. Bitwarden, Owncloud, NextCloud, Openmediavault, homepage, Jellyfin are just a few I can remember.

That’s a pretty good response from the subs.

I was just thinking about Doom the other day, and how mind-blowing it was when it came out, and being able to play on the network with friends.
I’d really like someone to make a movie / documentary about it, I’d be fascinated to know how it was developed.

MS Flight Simulator (Xbox Gamepass) - I often fire it up, pick a place in the world I’ve never been but would like to go and fly around. I never take off or land, just get low to the ground and buzz.
