- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 1 month ago:
Until they start to force you to connect to “finish” setup. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
For now my new LG turns on directly to my external device and isn’t connected to the Internet. I did have to change a setting to turn on to the last input used instead of the useless home screen.
- Comment on Where to buy server replacement hdd to match existing RAID configured drives? 4 months ago:
Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not as knowledgeable as someone else. I’m hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can’t at the moment.
- Comment on Where to buy server replacement hdd to match existing RAID configured drives? 4 months ago:
Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I’m pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn’t get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.
Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you’d get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.
I’m any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

I’ve used freetaxusa the last couple of years. If the IRS one isn’t available, then I’d recommend them.

Another thought. Try the warranty.
- Comment on How do I fix this? 8 months ago:
Looking at the picture, a regular piece of wood should work as long as the thickness is the same. Otherwise the front will sit a bit proud if thicker, or there will be a gap if thinner. Though you could trim the dado back on the sides if it’s thicker.
It looks like that particle board is nailed to the face. Hopefully it isn’t glued as well, otherwise it’ll be a beast to get off. Those screws are just for the handle and likely have no structural qualities.
- Comment on How do I fix this? 8 months ago:
I agree, that piece on the back of the face got pretty mangled, and glueing it up honestly wouldn’t be enough long term.
- Comment on How do I fix this? 8 months ago:
You could try clipping them off instead of pulling them out. Just use a flush cutter (or as close to flush) and cut them down to the wood. This is what most do when taking our trim, as it can cause more damage to get the nails/staples out.
- Comment on Are there any genuine benefits to AI? 8 months ago:
While not AI. That’s my goal with my home automation. To augment my life to make certain things easier and/or more efficient.

I agree. I saw the list of social things on the bottom and was like, “no rss feed?”. I was going to feed it into my reader later and see, but that was my initial thought. Then I came back and saw it in the post.

Definitely a note and later. I had one a few days ago leftover from Halloween. I did this exactly. Yes, I did eat the paper because why not.

I have a feeling they’ll make it difficult to use. Then when people do it accidentally because of they’re shitty UI, they’ll point to that and say, “see?!”

In my experience it’s always new apps that ruin the existing experience.

Oof, you weren’t kidding about the price. Seems like a pretty solid piece of software though.
- Comment on New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions? 1 year ago:
This is 100% my experience and setup. (Though I run Debian for my docker VM)
I did run docker in an LXC but ran into some weird permission issues that shouldn’t have existed. Ran it again in VM and no issues with the same setup. Decided to keep it that way.
I do run my plex and jellyfin on an LXC tough. No issues with that so far.
- Comment on New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions? 1 year ago:
That was one of the things I got wrong at first as well. But it totally makes it much easier in the long run.
- Comment on New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions? 1 year ago:
I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.
The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.
I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.
