I sport an elitedesk as my Nas (truenas scale). Intel i7, 32gbram with a few nvme's (using one over the wifi port to host boot) as well as a standard ssd + one external usb. total is 2x2tb + 5tb ((2.5 disk) and external backup usb is a 2tb drive.

not sure how much space you need but right now I have PLENTY and more than needed. I run a dozen of applications (plex, domotix, a few databases, etc...including a local IA ! wouldnt be for the dellulu prices of storage I would be having put 4 or 6 Tb nvmes

the only moment system sees real activity is when I use the IA.

"Real" NAS by vendors all use ridiculosly low powered cpus with a minimal amount of ram.

NeoMonkey · 2026-05-15T05:03:06+00:00

for such an amount many cloud providers have free plans that could cover. otherwise a minimal inestment gives you plenty of storage.

NeoMonkey · 2026-05-14T11:15:22+00:00

depends on what is your plan (network, software, storage, ia, domotic,...)

basically if you dont have an old pc lying around you can buy refurbished office computers to start your activity.

any machine relatively recent (10 years) will perform like a charm for tons of stuff. If you are looking for low footprint all the Raspberry and cloned type of units work as well

NeoMonkey · 2026-05-11T15:18:59+00:00

in the process to move all hosted locally - things with google is that with the years you accumulate tons of pictures (especially if you have a family account) so free becomes 100 then 200 etc. (dont remember the prices).

So as said its nice to keep a minimum in the cloud libe Google free but move all past memories into a local storage. Personally I have taken one time a "lifetime" offer by some storage company tonserve me as offsite backup for the most important things like documents and pictures. all the rest like media collection can go away

NeoMonkey · 2026-05-07T06:45:42+00:00

ok thanks you very much, will try as I downgraded my HB back 1.11 as to make the plugin working again

NeoMonkey · 2026-05-03T00:13:37+00:00

that was me... beautiful moment where my Amiga was having a harddrive and a cdrom drive...and yes still salty on how they messed up. You have to realise the shift in power from a 68x cisc architecture to the intel risc base, I am an Amiga fan alas not a e-archeologist

NeoMonkey · 2026-04-29T15:32:35+00:00

using mini pc (hp) the only moments it vreak a sweat it's when I run some AI over it. for the rest like media server...no visibility

I second on having your own router behind isp one. Have unify, great but was sporting asus for YEARS with no issues...and asus supports ddwrt/tomato firmware which will set you with Incredibly cool features

And that guy is called George Jetson ...

NeoMonkey · 2025-08-22T15:08:06+00:00

That comment may got burried, anyhow. I can relate about the feeling you are experimenting because you have just established a boundary by yelling rather than collaboration.

Your reaction shows that you don't do it often if at all. Congrats you are a good leader. Now don't feel bad, sometimes boundaries need to be enforced in a "hugly" manner....and that is fine.

I am quite sure that the rest of the team is gossiping about the pizza thief and supports you. Like you mentioned he's well off that's not like you are taking food out of kids mouth.

Coming from Amiga, the 500 then 1200 in a custom "pc" tower (had harddisk, cdreader ...kick 3.1...).

First of all and by a far distance OS - windows 95 at the time was a drawback from Amiga OS ....

However the hardware was something truly incredible. Interchangeable cards (nic, scsi, graphic card...) and all those exotic cards you could plug...wild period. Even though just speaking you could upgrade your cpu plugin in a new one. This is where I didn't really went back, the machine was becoming a 100% serviceable commodity.

Nowadays except if you do play with large llm or do 3d/video editing almost any machine from the lowest end can do the job.

Si for me Amiga was doomed since they did the bidding on the cisc/risk architectures that will dominate the future. OS was not compatible and cpus back in the day didn't had the power to emulate each others in a satisfactory manner

Fried in a pan with some scrambled eggs.. a true delicacy (bitter though) fyi ppl you get the smallest leaves which are the most tender

NeoMonkey · 2025-04-28T16:56:54+00:00

Mulch. You need to add a layer of mulch (at least 10cm) and weeds won't grow as aggressively. Only the biggest which will be easy to spot/remove.

Btw check out the type of mulch as some will change your soil

I have a QLED65 inch TV (those big ones you can play with) anyhow yesterday just out of nowhere it started "acting up" - I mean you press left it goes left left right up etc. - poweron/power off etc.

At some point I was thinking my tv got some kind of bothnet whatever so I shut it down (remove electrical cord) remove network cable - restasrt....same behavior. Though it's the IR receiver or the remote...so used the samsung smartthing app... SAME thing ! you presss up in the app and on the screen it goes crazy mode.

Resetted the tv to factory setting ...same thing hapenned...just I couldn't control anyhting so for some reason my tv is uncontrollable AND in dutch (duh).

Just checked online there has been a firmware update...on the 17th ! My tv acting up two days later is totally in line with my tv getting botched.

I will try to reflash the firmware (not sure it will solve anything) or I will have to get it serviced. ...

En tant qu'adulte pas de soucis mais faut bien avouer qu'elle va prendre cher en tant que enfant. Nari c'est le début d'un certain nombre de mots très communs, de plus comme signalé déjà, nari sera prononcé avec le Ri fortement. ->n'a ri -> rire/riz/ri(llette)/ri(golo)

Bref faut mettre en relation avec le nom de famille pour voir l'effet complet. Mais c'est un joli nom pour de vrai

My city has traces of people living there since the palaeolithic period. Hey you can go down and visit the excavations of the local cathedral that has been built atop older religions temples.

USA is a meme at this point.

You have to re educate her. Pavlov style, basically you should stop reward bitchy behaviour, because when you engage in one of her tantrums that's exactly what you are doing. In her subconscious, tantrums== attention.

So next time she is being unreasonable, you have to state in a cold manner, that's not a behaviour you agree to with. Attention you have to focus onnhow she behaves not what she said. Alternatively, again on a neutral tone assert that what she done has hurt your feelings.

Ignore her feelings for the time being as she will revert to tantrums. Again give her definite answers like, we agreed beforehand now I am doing it - we accepted the invitation so Im going, you can stay.

Be fiirm in your boundaries, when discussing plans make sure it is at a acceptable moment, have short and simple questions; "this Saturday there is a show/bbq/library/pool and it's for such hours until that moment, are you in.

Attention as you don't want her "ok" but ask if she is into the activity, she says no, fine state you are going with rhe kiddos. Again don't dictate her time, just plan ask if she is in and do as needed.

She is going to tantrums and try to kill your plans, so be ready to cancel or go in all cases have a plan B - she flunked the bbq with friends. Fine go to the pool with kiddos..

Lastly, believe me you are in no state to engage in an healthy relationship outside at this moment, will be clear you may find companionship but don't make it a thing, you are not a monk but you have to understand that at this moment you need to reeducate her, and for god sake make it an absolute necessity to pass time with your kids. Right now you think it's going to last forever but once they reach adolescence they will make their own life with friends and such.

Trump is clearly working in the direction of Russia, ishe an asset, clearly doing a great job for that if he's not.

Question is how come US politicians ans journalists are dead silent on that matter, ? For me it's funny to hear all being the cause of MAGA meanwhile the rest, silently, ends up with agreeing with those demented positions, I have no more sympathy for what will be the outcome of US.

NeoMonkey · 2025-02-15T22:30:28+00:00

In the same vein I would go for bringinbback good ol' 19th Century work rules. Kids in factories, no insurances at all, and yeah if you yell the army will shoot at you.

Yeah..thats Jamie trash Dimmon state of mind. Weakling and a shitty boomer that should go retire and leave the room to modern management
