Not gonna lie. Had me until the Cucker Tarlson and Zodiac Killer cameo.

The only thing I hate more than a leftist news channel using conspiracy theorist language in a 3 hour video

Is copy pasted AI break downs.

You want me to watch this but you didn't even bother to give me your own breakdown?

Is this a not account?

He's a libertarian who is, self admittedly, hard to work with. He's also petty and a pedant.

Great for right to repair and digital sovereignty, but there's a lot more arguably real issues in the world than making sure my tech is upgradable. Like I'm pretty sure he talk about supporting RFK Jr in 24 [citation needed]'. I don't follow him as closely since he made a 20 minute video trying to argue that AOC is wrong about there being no such thing as unskilled labor by explaining the exact point.

I really don't wanna know his thoughts on trans rights or the mass racist deportations.

And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

There's also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

I knew a guy who did actually make method in his apartment bathtub.

It was in part to make clean up easier and also had ventilation!

Although that guys was an odd duck and chemistry genius. He's a PHd student now and was actually making them meth so he could try meth he "trusted"

I doubt your average method manufacturer cares that much about safety though.

To be fair, IF tumblr had added the tipping feature while porn was huge on the site, it might have became Onlyfans.

OF wasn't always a porn site. It was trying to be a Patron that allowed adult content, but it became just a porn site.

I argue something similar would have happened to tumblr

I checked for you and good news!

Tap for spoilerHe isn't involved in much except investing in mobility aides and was apparently on the Planned Parenthood board for a while.

Quick search showed his most recent activity was being the single largest donor to Mark Kelly's 2020 senate campaign.

Completely normal progressive liberal stuff.

Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's basically what I'm going for.

How are you connecting the mini PC via SATA and how are you powering the BOD?

Its probably a parent company situation.

Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

Capitalism baby!

Probably why they didn't do it in the first place.

They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That's when I used it.

What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?
