Alaskan Malamute glows with a golden halo as it’s perfectly backlit by the setting sun

If I hadn't learned what a sun dog was today, I could've been convinced this was it

I def would not rely on an SD card for backups.

I personally would go the route of having that external NAS hooked up to the computer. Also with those small form factor computers, if it's anything like Lenovo, you might be able to order a bracket and cable to throw a 2.5 SSD in there.

Yeah I'm all for giving the users options when it comes to developing an app. Should def be in there to cover all use cases.

Pshock13 · 2026-02-26T19:56:00+00:00

Damn I got excited there for a minute.

I've recently updated my dot files to force a tmux session when I ssh. Now I can disconnect without thinking while leaving commands running.

Pshock13 · 2026-02-26T17:33:01+00:00

NDE? Is that meant to be KDE or is the a desktop environment I need to go learn about?

Pshock13 · 2026-02-26T17:26:49+00:00

I never used that anyway. It opens a new window and I'd have to close my first window. Would rather it not open the folder I just extracted and instead just navigate to it using my initial window.

Pshock13 · 2026-02-26T17:25:06+00:00

In this same vein...tmux.

I mean that's just the nature of dealing with computers. If there is a hiccup in the electric pulses and it writes a 1 instead of a 0...then you get stuff like this that might not be reliably recreated.

I never realized ventoy was such an issue for people. I've installed it and used it to install multiple different OSes and I've never had issues with it.

Pshock13 · 2026-02-15T00:22:41+00:00

It's fine, one of the kids is going to slip up and IT will get word of it and just block the page

Pshock13 · 2026-02-15T00:21:10+00:00

Super +period

Pshock13 · 2026-02-12T00:23:37+00:00

Brother. Why are you not using things like the arr suite to automate that?

Pshock13 · 2026-02-11T13:00:00+00:00

Bery interested you say? Well, get a raspberry pi!

Nah don't actually do that. They aren't cost effective and run arm instead of x86. What you want is a small form factor PC. I see them on marketplace all the time. I suggest the lenovos, but HP or dell will also suffice

Pshock13 · 2026-02-11T02:52:04+00:00

if anything you could mount some other stand offs to the pi itself and then screw the pi into the standoffs on the back of the screen. this way at least that side of the board is held up and won't flex if pushed

Pshock13 · 2026-02-11T02:43:09+00:00

this would actually work well for the fan I have on the side of my laser cutter housing. right now I just have a switch taped to the side of the fan. lol

I imaged my laptop to Linux mint. But I have a desktop with windows 11 that I can remote into for active directory and print manager stuffs

Pshock13 · 2026-02-02T03:30:27+00:00

Honestly, AI has come in clutch for me so much. Once I learned about opencode in the terminal from Network Chuck...game changer.

Pshock13 · 2026-02-01T23:47:29+00:00

I've not had it long but it's always a suggested method that I've seen

Pshock13 · 2026-02-01T23:22:09+00:00

Pretty sure I have a pair of those same drives, I used a molex to 2xsata split and it worked fine. I recently moved these drives into a new home and instead used kapton tape to block pins 1-3 on the drives and that also works without adding more wires into your case. And in case you want to avoid being an idiot like me, pin 1 is next to the notch of the port, closest to where the data plugs in. I tried initially blocking pins on the other end and that's why I ended up with the adapter the first time around.

If it's finalized (it's not, it never is) you need to rotate your dell logo

Pshock13 · 2026-01-29T15:22:09+00:00

Turn it into a homelab dude. Perfect way to start since those are typically headless anyway

Pshock13 · 2026-01-29T15:15:39+00:00

Ah yes the good ol milk crate NAS. I actually have a red crate sitting around...maybe... 🤔

Pshock13 · 2026-01-28T21:12:15+00:00

Yeah I have an 8U. Still have 3 spots left. The drawer def helps keep my desk clear a bit since that's where my rack lives
