Once an OS boots there’s not really a lot of need for ssd. Save ssd for the apps.

It offers some other features like hybrid access to data,If my nas isn’t available I can access it from their cloud. There’s also some identity services.

I think testosterone has a lot to do with it. Anyone that started taking T can tell you that.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 3 days ago:
Backup to 2nd nas.
Important stuff gets backed up to cloud storage. Whatever is cheapest.
In my case Synology c2 cloud was cheapest.

Microsoft will take its name.
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 1 week ago:
Expanding the seats of supreme justices, executive orders to undo Trumps, replace every person Trump assigned, then instructing congress to put some laws down to fix all the holes the GOP used and abused.
Put the DOJ onto prosecuting a number of people that were performing illegal activities.
He can also instruct DHS to rake the forest instead of doing much anything else.
- Comment on Thoughts about my (potential) first server? 1 week ago:
Servers are just expensive hardware. You can accomplish 95% with a consumer grade desktop without all the extra power/heat/noise and dependencies on specific hardware.
- Comment on How long and how hard would it be to get a star removed on The Hollywood Walk of Fame? Asking for a friend. 1 week ago:
Harbor freight sells battery powered hammer drills and masonry bits that are cheap and powerful enough to drill a few inches into concrete in under a minute.
They also had saws and saw blades used for cutting up masonry.

This was before iCloud and iMessage.

Here’s a fun story about Russia.
Years ago I was the BlackBerry server manager. BES was unique in that it created a tunnel between the device and the BES, and the admin was in complete control of the encryption and authentication. The way it worked is you put your BES next to your email server and give BES an admin account so could read all of the mailbox info and sync what it needed to the device.
As the company expanded into Russia we looked into putting a BES and email server there to improve things for them.
That’s when we found out that BES was not allowed to be sold directly to companies in Russia. Instead you could buy it from their mobile phone providers , and you would give them that admin account.
The only reason for this that I could come up with is that Russia could not break BlackBerry encryption, so instead they made it impossible to even use BES if you were a Russian company.
We ended up letting the Russian employees travel to the us every few months and return home with 3-4 devices, powered off, with activeSIM cards we were paying for even though they weren’t being used. The roaming charges were impressive.
Side note: Russia didn’t care about imap, active sync, android or iPhones. Only BlackBerry. I wonder if they had those hacked already.

You should buy both. Don’t mess around with VIP UAT.

Reolink might be another to consider.

- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 2 weeks ago:
orb.net monitors your internet performance.
tailscale.com access your home internet or devices when you’re away from home. Usually only helpful if you have a NAS, but I’ve used it to stream tv shows without having to get bothered or blocked because the service can only be used in the US. I watched some NFL over youtubetv while in Germany for example.

OpenVAS is a vulnerability scanner that appears to be open source.

This sounds like leasing renamed. Not unusual in the enterprise space.
- Comment on What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear? 3 weeks ago:
True but it’s designed to be on networks that don’t have internet.
- Comment on What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear? 3 weeks ago:
Tplink Omada doesn’t need a cloud connection. There’s plenty of other reasons to not like Omada but it’s something to consider. It’s also dirt cheap.
- Comment on Am I doing this (networking) safely? 3 weeks ago:
If any service has only username and password instead of mfa or password less then it’s not safe.
You also didn’t mention if you have automated patching or immutable backups enabled.

Plenty or horizon fans would be fine with another full price dlc.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 3 weeks ago:
Amd is arguably more affected. Intels CPUs have memory built into it, and intel bought about a years worth of memory.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think a newcomer could do it, but a company like Intel is posed to be in a good position. They don’t have much market share but they have a good product.

Someone is going to make bank by catering to consumers. Will the market accept nvidia back with open arms if/when the ai investments fall through?
- Comment on TrumpRx Denounced as Corrupt Scheme to Line Pockets of Big Pharma—and Don Jr. | Common Dreams 3 weeks ago:
I experienced the Singapore system first hand. They apologized for charging me around $30 usd for an urgent care visit that was walking distance from the apt complex and 30ft away from the pharmacy that charged me $5 for Rx sinus medicine.
My partner at the time had told me I didn’t need to buy “travelers insurance” for this trip.
That’s when I figured out the us healthcare system was a giant scam.

It’s sad that the GOP will do anything to avoid improving US healthcare for their constituents.

Yikes. Hope this doesn’t kill the horizon brand.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 3 weeks ago:
Even large streaming services drop their servers close to the users to make the experience good. They just do better at scaling.
You could federated authentication so only one ldap service is maintained. You could also sync media from one device to the other so you don’t need to manually update both.
