Revanced is basically the same thing. Just less shitty.

It’s worth noting that Dodge (yes, that Dodge) were the ones who took Ford to court over it. If you want the reason why shareholders come first, blame Dodge.

Same here. I made them refund me. It was a small amount, but I was pissed enough that I wanted them to work for it.

Edit: the soc that they are using is worse than the feature phone soc in my old Nokia from 2008. What the actual fuck.
Oh god. They invented a TV with a phone built in.

“Oh no, an issue that will only affect an extremely narrow spread of people who aren’t already aware of it is present, therefore F-Droid bad”
If you’re that concerned about being surveilled, you already have bigger issues.

I am assuming each drive shows up as an independent drive that you can raid up however you want in software?
Yeah, each drive is shown as if they were individually attached the machine. RAID how you want (or don’t). I’ve got three 4TB drives in an 8TB RAID5, one 4TB that contains data from my gaming PC that I’m working on moving to the RAID, and then a separate 8TB external drive that everything on the RAID array is rsynced to for backup (not ideal but it’s something).
Man I was looking for something like this, but at the time I was building my NAS, I couldn’t find something similar so I just decided to build a whole new machine with enough space to contain the drives themselves. Had I known, I might have gone with this and a NUC or something.
I’m actually going the other way and building a proper server out of an ancient HP Proliant DL110 G2 that my dad gave me. Shockingly, it’s fully ATX compatible and has 8+ drive bays. I’m just reusing the case though and stuffing it with more modern components; it was originally equipped with a Pentium 4 😂 I’m not a fan of the single USB connection for all that data.
How’s the performance?
Sufficient I suppose. Limited by the single USB 3 connection. The Mac mini isn’t stressed at all, but the RJ45 connector has some fucky Apple weirdness about it that causes it to go to sleep periodically. There’s a workaround for it that I applied a while ago, but it still drops out occasionally. But, that’s an Apple-specific problem, not the enclosure. The enclosure works fine.

Drive bay I’m using is a Sabrent DS-SC4B, connected via USB3. I’m currently collecting parts for an actual tower build based on a G4560T.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this in theory, as you gotta have some reach in order to spread your message. I forget the name of the particular situation (people don’t use it because it’s not popular, and it’s not popular because people don’t use it…etc etc)
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 3 days ago:
It lives in a Geekworm case with an RJ45 port, so it’s wired directly to the router. I likely won’t use it for anything else at this point.

Only one of them is compatible with Windows 11 lmao - HP Elite G4 mini with an i7-8700T. Everything else is 7th gen or 4th gen.

Bingo! I’ve got 4 mini-PCs (does a 2014 Mac mini count?), and one SFF. The average power draw of this cluster is barely ~90W.

Portainer is too bloated. I liked it initially, but the licensing shit was, well, shit, and the way it managed compose files was garbage. Dockge is way better for my use case, since it works alongside Docker, instead of fucking off to do its own thing.

I would just mount the NAS folders via Samba into the NUC. Problem is that services can’t watch the filesystem for changes. If I add a video to my Jellyfin directory, Jellyfin won’t automatically initiate a scan.
That sounds like a config issue. I use NFS shares in a similar way, and Plex/*arr/etc has zero issues watching for changes.

If you want reliability, keep your NAS as a NAS, and run everything else in VMs. Don’t run applications on the same system as NAS stuff. If you screw something up, you’ll have to rebuild the whole thing. Run your applications in a VM at the minimum, that way you can just blow it away and start over if it gets fucked, without touching the NAS.

If I can’t easily retrieve data from perfectly good drives, it is an absolute no go.
I’ve been running the same md-raid drives through three different machines. I love that about md-raid. Pull the drives out of one system, stick them into another system with
mdadminstalled, and it recognizes the array immediately. - Comment on Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source 3 days ago:
I went with OMV because 1. I’m cheap, and 2. I could configure it how I wanted.
Glad I went that way, because I was considering “upgrading” to a Synology for a while.

PiHole is becoming a bit heavy for my Zero W, which is based on the chip the original Pi series ran on. It’s the only thing the 0W runs, which is a bit worrying to me.

Can you elaborate on this some more? I’m familiar with logseq, but I’m genuinely curious on how you went about this.

- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
Noooo lmao, I bought it because I had the means and I thought I deserved to buy myself a nice tablet for once, instead of the shitty Samsung A-series or cheap Kindles I’ve been attempting to poke and prod at… So when I heard about the M1 going into the iPad, I jumped at it. The “potential” was a bonus.
Now, it’s just a glorified youtube machine that occasionally sees OBD-II usage for my cars. Which my Pixel, or a shitty Samsung A-series, or a Kindle can also do.

I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot EFI firmware and boots Linux. Works…fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.

I can’t imagine how disappointing it must have been to shell out for an M1 Pro in the belief that Apple were about to beef up iPadOS. Then they…didn’t.
Yep. I paid ~$1200 for it and the keyboard case. First Apple device I bought for myself brand new. And it is definitely the last.

That would be awesome. With legit Debian VMs and desktop mode coming to Android, I would love to see some serious development progress in that area. But we all know the big tech firms are gonna fuck it all up and neuter it.

I barely use my iPad these days. I’ll pull it out every once in a while, like if I’m sick in bed and wanna watch youtube for a few hours without holding my phone, but otherwise, yeah, iPads are kinda useless. They even suck at filling out PDFs.
