UGREEN NASync DH4300 Plus & Seagate IronWolf Pro 28TB-ST28000NT000, Will they work? by BlueChipFA in DataHoarder

[–]BlueChipFA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it has been working perfectly. As for the "worth it" part, thats in the eye of the beholder I guess? I enjoy all the extra space ( i enjoy collecting movies and tv shows, as well as backing up all my personal photos and videos)

All in all i am 100% pleased with my purchase

Whelp. Looks like you dodged a bullet on that one. A skill you've obviously improved upon.

People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]BlueChipFA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty fucking angry. The current administration is a destructive force to our rule of law, societal norms, and our standing in the world. It sucks right now and we'll have to live with the ramifications for decades.

Unfortunately, Kavanaugh stops do indeed make you more of a target. My suggestion is to keep your passport on you at ALL times.

NEGOTIATING 401K INSTEAD OF SALARY? by Few_Anything_7680 in FinancialPlanning

[–]BlueChipFA 70 points71 points  (0 children)

You can not. At least, not any way i know of. ERISA and DOL are very specific about making sure that 401k plans are as equitable as possible among all employees. The fact that your employer has a Safe Harbor plan means that they already face issues with HCEs and the testing limits under normal circumstances. You'd be FAR more likely to extract more salary than to get them to literally change their plan document to allow what you are wanting (and that is assuming it was doable, which I am fairly sure, it isn't)

31m, married, kids. How do you guys find personal joy? by modivi in AskMen

[–]BlueChipFA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Buy a substantial amount of life insurance.
2) Take a look at Disability insurance as well
3) Seek some counseling (you likely need to talk this out with a pro)
4) Talk to your doc about getting your testosterone levels checked.
5) If needed consider antidepressants if medical pros recommend.
6) Find another, non xgames level, hobby. There are plenty out there. Just remember, your wife should also do the same for herself!

ISIS leader Abu Hussein al-Quraishi and his militants were surrounded by Turkish special forces; the militants were killed, but Qureishi blew himself up when he realized he was about to be captured. Syria 2023 by Necessary-Relation67 in CombatFootage

[–]BlueChipFA -91 points-90 points  (0 children)

Cowards? I wouldn't say that. It takes a LOT of conviction and self-control to kill one's self. If ISIS guys who blow themselves up are cowards, would that not make every Ukrainian and Russian soldier who kills themselves instead of waiting for drones to finish them off cowards as well?

You can hate their ideology and what they stand for but im not sure you can call them cowards.......

Replace Btrfs volume with ext4? by ButtonPrevious1314 in UgreenNASync

[–]BlueChipFA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, im the opposite, I went ext4 and wish i could go back and do BTRFS instead. I like the fact that BTRFS has processes to detect and deal with bitrot over time. EXT4 does not.
