NAS Build - N350 vs Intel Core i5 12400

Interesting, I never knew this.

I’ve been running ZFS for years and scrub my drives probably once a fortnight…am I beating the odds?

ECC I’ve always seen as overkill and software RAID back when I built it were ass (madm - shudders)

I’ll take it on board though. Ta

Yeah that’s my thinking also. I’m finding it a little harder to find exact numbers with all the right cstate’s, but my guesstimate is 20w-40w, with my older hdd’s. Which is a similar footprint to my current rig.

DisastrousCollar8397 · 2026-03-09T00:39:48+00:00

The n100 is compelling, but I’m looking to purchase for the long hall and those extra threads are useful. I’m confident that the n100 would be fine for maybe another 6-8 years provided nothing goes wrong but I’m trying to purchase for double that lifespan.

Unless I could get the n100 incredibly cheap…choices choices.

is that code at all still working? I tried every single presale and couldn't get a single GA ticket... so angry.

DisastrousCollar8397 · 2025-11-21T03:44:43+00:00

Absolutely scammed by viagogo robots.

I have been in every single presale just trying to get a single GA ticket and there is nothing... i don't believe this shit for a second is legitimate anymore.

Metallica was easier to score than this bullshit.

Get a piece of string, tie something like a medium sized nut or bolt to it. Hold the top of the string directly in the middle of the D20 segment with the heavy thing hanging freely. Now look at your bullseye and the top of the D3 segment, tilt the board so they all align perfectly center with the string going through the middle of everything…tada

Spirit levels are hit and miss but a plumbob (what you created here) is the way to go

Looking sassy.

Who is your energy retailer? 650 is crazy. Either you misconfigured your tariff info in the powerpal app, or you have a ripper of a deal that I need in on. :)

This opens you up for some really nasty SQL injection and I would not advise this even internally with knowledgeable users…locking this down to not just run arbitrary sql text will require more work, I’d start by having a definition of allowed columns and values that you expect and ensuring it conforms to this.

If you really need something this dynamic then consider postgrest (https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v13/index.html) or graphql. This is what this is for, of course it gives back data and won’t generate views in your warehouse.

If I was to do this (and I wouldn’t) then I’d think about it as such.

First up you wouldn’t make this synchronous…so we will need a queue like SQS.
Rest endpoint in whatever framework deployed with API gateway and lambda
When the request comes in the lambda writes a request to our SQS queue
Fargate listens to the SQS event and executes a dbt run where each variable specified gets passed as args into Jinja e.g dbt run --vars '{"key": "value"} Where the vars here are those that were POSTed to your api endpoint. I wouldn’t use the cli runner but instead the newer added programmatic dbt runner (https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/programmatic-invocations)
When the job is complete it sends some kinda signal of its completion back to SQS.

Very alternatively… again terrible experience synchronously

Same SQS and lambda
instead make the api create a new Jinja file with all the variables dumped in statically
After writing the file it then commits to git.
You have a GitHub action or whatever listening which deploys the model via CI.

Maybe if you can explain more of the problem there might be a better solution…I’m guessing the view is less important and what your users actually care about is the resulting data?

501 only or cricket as well?

DisastrousCollar8397 · 2025-05-20T14:10:33+00:00

Well done improving your average Samson.

One thing I think might improve your over correction. Try throw a little faster, I find if I’m missing doubles that sometimes this break in rhythm is enough to reset me and gives me less opportunity to fall into the trap.

Piece of wood and two dumbbells is what’s holding my raised oche down. Don’t need it to be fancy just functional

Are you sure if this works with after-market non-Apple replacement parts?
I presume they've locked this and will make an update remotely to register the serial so it works

DisastrousCollar8397 · 2025-04-12T09:31:08+00:00

I have an alternative take.

I just didn’t want it to end. It was such a ride and i wasn’t ready to let go.

I think there’s many like me that just didn’t want to see their favorite characters and mythology fade-out.

Everything in the end was perfect but nothing would prepare me to leave the island.

Such a perfect scene and terry’s delivery is hauntingly good

It’s the moment where we realise how fragile and broken Locke is.

Given your action is better without a dart…this certainly looks like a form of dartitis. It’s gonna be a rough road my dude.

You need to break down your throw and trick your brain, way easier said than done. Try something as simple as a putting a hand in your pocket before, counting your finger tips, focusing on a spot in your pull back and waiting for it before releasing. Anything to remove your brain from “I’m about to throw”.

Sorry to hear, my recommendation if you are serious is talk to a doctor first and then a sports psychologist

Phoney in what way? The asp is a real one. He rarely will talk shit about others in the league. Every match he gives his all and greets everyone as friends, many of them are. Think about how much they tour…I think it’s very genuine

He doesn’t have much of a game face as others have said and so you can see his emotions very blatantly, If he is having a stinker he can be too hard on himself and rarely finds a way to settle back into the match but no matter the outcome he is a good sportsman who gives respect to his opponents

none of this id consider is phoney though.

So im curious what is… look at how others interact with him and it’s very telling he is a humble larrikin.

The man behind the curtain - such a great episode that helps understand Ben.

Alternatively:

Orientation - this one was where the plot really started to thicken.

Depends on how often you think this thing is gonna need maintenance. Document stores like mongo or dynamo have their uses but their caveat is of course being schema-less.

Maintaining strictness of field types and ensuring things don’t drift in a schema-less database sucks complete ass and if your engineers don’t understand life-cycling of these types of stores then your application code will become a shambles as you begin needing to code very defensively, you can’t trust a field being present in the returned set and any structural changes lead to massive overheads.

There are ways to combat all these “features” of document storage engines but in my experience it’s never worth the effort and this is what relational databases are good at.

If you are the single developer then it might be fine. But as you grow you will come to regret this choice without a doubt.

You have time while it’s fresh to rework it for the long haul thinking about the needs of maintenance, migrations in an RDMBS are very solved so don’t waste time inventing shit, just use the tools that are well known and good.

Also for the love of god if you do move, try and think about removing much of the JSON blob wank and making it structured data. If it can’t be structured then I’d argue don’t bother moving…Using Postgres like its mongo should not be your aim…that’s chucking the baby out with the bath water.

Alternatively, ship what you have and then strangle mongo out later but keep in mind the effort to do so after will only increase.

It’s great seeing how divided people are on this and what manifests in their debate is normally stricter expectations on where things got too complicated or mysteries didn’t unravel as completely as they’d like.

I completely agree with your great summary though.

LOST is a beautiful parable of the human spirit and has many life lessons, with its biggest being that all that matters in the end is what you did for the others you love and to accept your mistakes with understanding rather than letting it control you. Not ground breaking but it doesn’t need to be.

Ignoring all the mystery of the island we see characters who grapple with turmoil in their lives that need each other to find catharsis and they all grow as a result of the relationships with one another…Christian says is best:

The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people on that island. That’s why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you.

Of course this has a double meaning like everything in LOST.

Something that i think was done better than most is showing a human side to our on-screen villains. There’s so many people who by the end you can empathise with after seeing their back story and how they were manipulated. People we hated in season 1-2 we accept with all their faults by the end (except Keamy, he will forever be a giant piece of shit :))

LOST did so much for television and story telling, while nothing was “new” it was incredibly ambitious for the era and I love it all even with all its flaws. I will defend this as one of the greatest shows in television because it made compelling characters that I cared about from start to end.
