- Comment on Skype was shut down for good today 4 weeks ago:
It’s sad… Skype saved my butt when I was stuck in Peru and needed to call for help in my home country. I had found out 1-800 lines didn’t use call credits

Sorry about what you’re going through 🫂
From what I understand you avoided the worst of it, and for that you can be proud. It’s not an easy road.
The clip wasn’t meant as a reference to your life, but to other people who get stuck in a moment for decades.

There’s this line in that new show I watched. The guy just gets dumped by his wife, goes like: « He needed to sit a minute…. He sat down 20 years » The scene hit like a brick

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment… financial one 🤣
I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.
So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.
I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.
Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

I like the style of the Mass Effect texture pack, and it’s fun exploring the included map.
