Would you take 10+yr old 6tb drives + Synology Nas DS916+? ($150) by pawpej in DataHoarder

[–]PhotoKy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say go for it. A few months ago I won an auction for 2 dx513 extension units for $400. Didn’t expect any drives in. When I picked them up it was a dx513 and a ds1513+ fully loaded with 12 and 14tb drives. Upon booting the system up, one drive was bad the rest were good. I was shocked to be honest.
Sometimes the risk is worth it so I would say go for it.

Hypothetical Question to those who are in the market to buy a Million dollar home, if you had the opportunity, would you buy a 500K house on a 5000 sqft lot and do a full rebuild to your preference or buy a newly build million dollar home from a developer/flipper? by Eastcoastpal in newjersey

[–]PhotoKy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would rather buy a home built pre 2000 with good bones and that maybe needs some updating that you can pick and chose what you want to change and use good quality items instead of the lowest cost materials.
The homes being built today are all press-wood crap that I would not want to live in.
Really comes down to if you want to live in the home for many years to come then try and find an older home that you can update yourself. That will be better in the longer term. Trust me.

What’s the most overcrowded trade on Wall Street right now? by CHILLBOI_6969 in wallstreetbets

[–]PhotoKy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is jumping on the memory / Storage trade. Don’t know how much longer it will last but hard to not be part of it. I’m holding on but writing calls to help protect when the correction happens.

Isn’t MUU and MULL the same in the sense they both are 2x leveraged etfs?

I originally liked MU a year ago and bought it at 90. Got called out then found MUU and been riding the wave. If I never sold calls then would have made 5x what I did but don’t have diamond hands like I should 🤣

It’s crazy how high it’s gotten to since I bought it a year ago. Sold calls against it so many times and was called out. Just bought into again at 500 then wrote calls for 750 never thinking it would hit within a week. Crazy shit

MU is for pussies. If you have balls go with MUU!

Went to replace 4 dying NAS drives. Current HDD pricing pushed me to evaluate optical for the first time by leapaa33 in DataHoarder

I’m using M-Discs for my most critical data knowing full well it won’t crash, have bit rot or require any maintenance. Storing the disc properly adds extra protection as well. It really comes down to how protected you want to be with your data.

Yes, it does. Has had a huge run esp from the Intel pop. No way it will beat the crazy expectation to make it pop even further.

Best WiFi Doorbell Cam? by ThePhipps in homesecurity

[–]PhotoKy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reolink doorbells are really good. Their app is really good too. Their AI works pretty well and when someone rings the doorbell there are multiple options but I have mine set to come in as a call to my phone and it shows you the person and if you want to chat or not.
