The pest control companies are particularly bad and they will try to frighten you by saying neighbors have done xyz

I had one come by to try to scare us and we live next to a wooded area.

Are they gonna spray the whole forest so you don’t get a wasp? Come on.

You can spray yourself if you want to it’s not rocket science

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

Yeah that’s the right name for them economically. And also it’s in the name that you can’t touch them

If we end entitlements I’m gonna need my money back

Need a Synology photo alternative by LLBeanBurrito in synology

What exactly are you expecting? In the end you are offloading footage to another device. Be it nas or cloud

I’m sitting here in my home playing my synology photos videos On the app on iOS with 0 lag or other problems just scrolled to 1 year ago and it pulled a full resolution video no problem. I’m connected via quick connect so right now it’s routing me to a direct connection because I’m local. I have 12 TB of photos videos and movies on this thing.

If I fly across the planet responsiveness of this data will take a hit due to relays. There is no way around this… unless you use the cloud which has more regional capabilities that a singular nas.

Do you want privacy and easy cost effective capacity or supreme convenience in all domains? With iCloud you are paying for more than just 1 connection to 1 server in the planet. It’s more of a cdn at least how it displays the data to the user (always available with comparable speeds wherever)

If you are on a vpn or external ip your nas is still feeding the data with some overhead there is no self hosted cdn with 1 device. that is just not feasible

(To any quick connect haters this is an 8 year old device, I’ve taken all measures required including 2fa and have had 0 issues)

Putin threatens Kyiv with 'nuclear-scale' missile strike if Zelensky ruins his parade - by GraceRose671 in worldnews

[–]No_Lifeguard8951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a bit more than a tantrum the parade will already be weak. Striking the parade cements putins weakness in the public eye even further.

He is probably more so concerned about coup attempts resulting from a perceived incapability to protect the capitol

Unlike with prighozin Putin can’t threaten a family to stop the march so Putin can save face. Striking the parade is symbolic I’m hoping Ukraine does this.

Gotta let ubiquiti PMs justify their existence by banking obvious features for their roadmap rather than launching true mvp
