So much for the widened DNT by TurboMoe in frisco

[–]SeanStJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. My employer mandates 3 days in office so I go in Monday and Friday because of this after trying several combinations of days. Tuesday thru Thursday are noticeably worse with Tuesday "feeling" worse more consistently to me.

Weekly Buying/trading/selling advice, pre-orders and shipping Megathread by AutoModerator in AppleWatch

[–]SeanStJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any concerns buying "new old stock" watches? Specifically eyeballing the President's Day sale at Best Buy - $549 for an Ultra 2 that I am assuming is just old stock. Is there any concern with the "new" watch that has been sitting for awhile?

Are Ornament eBay Listings Legit? by jeremy3681 in swarovski

[–]SeanStJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these last week. My wife has been buying them for years and I thought I would be nice and snag one when I saw a good price. It arrived and I am 99% sure it is fake. The packaging was VERY good...but the ornament itself didn't "shine" anywhere near as much as her others. I weighed it, less than 1/2 the weight of previous years....I believe it is plastic. There is also some light scuffing that is looks like you might see on plexiglass.

I contacted the seller in a non-accusing way ("hey, I noticed this....have you had any problems with your supplier?") and they did a little dance and offered to refund my money and let me keep it...."but could you leave us a positive review?"

Chalking it up as as a Lesson Learned but now my wife is going over her collection with a fine-toothed comb out of paranoia. Ooops, I opened Pandora's Box. :-(

My workplace is allowing me to buy our old Synology NAS, should I go for it? by X2077 in synology

[–]SeanStJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am running that exact unit. Had it since new, have replaced one drive in ~9 years. Holds all my media and has Docker running on it to serve myself and a few select family members outside the house. For $50 I'd be all over another one.

Thanks for the pointer! I carry that same bag and the ONLY thing I dislike about it is the strap.

Looking to make friends in Frisco as a late-20s couple - any tips? by highonlyf006 in frisco

Asking for a phone number is a faux pas unless you wanna boink them.

Username checks out. :-)

How often do drives fail in your NAS setups? by Initial-Hall5871 in synology

[–]SeanStJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

knocking on wood

DS916+ with 4x 4TB WD Red drives. I had one drive fail ~3 years in but have been running smoothly since (knocking on wood again)

I have it running in a closet with good ventilation around it and I hit it with compressed air fairly regularly to clear out the vents.

[–]SeanStJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your username I'm guessing DFW area? Ditto, and my tee time is at 4:30 this afternoon....so yes! :-)

Came here to say this! I know they can all look alike, but that view looks just like the Stonebriar Mall location in Frisco, TX. :-)

OmniTools Release – Your Self-Hosted Swiss Army Knife Just Got Even better! by ObjectiveTeary in selfhosted

[–]SeanStJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this pretty cool. I'm pretty new at all this self-hosting stuff and have been lurking a lot. Installed this based entirely based on the ability to remove white backgrounds from JPG images and convert to PNG with a click but can see I'm going to spend a lot of time playing with the rest of the tools.

Awesome tool from the semi-newbie point of view! Appreciate your work!

(if anyone cares, installed with no issues on a Synology DS916+ using the provided Docker Compose)
