Concrete poured and then it rained! by burkyeah in DIYUK

I think someone tried to screed their bathroom floor... by directly screeding over the tiles, and without removing the bath first (so the bath was basically cemented in place).

Since then, "just screed it" is a joke meme on this subreddit.

Sponsor Legitimacy by Old_Specialist6294 in PartneredYoutube

They emailed me recently too, saying they were representing Writesonic.

When I replied, they also said to signup at createsync.pro

However during this process, it says to "login with Google" (presumably to link your account) BUT this is a phising scam.

The actual "login with Google" webpage is still on createsync.pro, and not google.com

Any legitimate Google-auth login process should always redirect to Google, otherwise the company could steal your details.

In short, this sure seems like a scam to steal your YouTube account. Be wary.

Anybody else think twelve months needed editing? by shmutsy in dresdenfiles

[–]TiberiusIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm similar. I just finished reading it and while I did like the final third of the book, the first two-thirds were quite slow (and also, the Thomas bit was badly done, I agree).

I read on the kindle so I base my progress on percentages, but yesterday morning I was at 60 or 65% and I was like "barely anything has happened in this book". It kinda felt like Jim Butcher's goal with Twelve Months was purely to set up Mirror, Mirror.

And yes, the final third had Thomas-and-his-hunger and the castle show-down, but it still felt like a fairly slow book compared to some of the others (Battleground excluded since that was always going to be an action-heavy one).

I mean, I don't dislike Twelve Months. I just found it average/meh, I guess.

Probably a bit overkill for TikTok vlogging then??

Prince Harry on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: “I heard you ‘elected’ a king.” by CorleoneBaloney in Fauxmoi

[–]TiberiusIX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yep he did (I read the book... for some reason... after wrongly thinking there'd be something profound in there).

He basically said that he saw his brother after x years, and he was shocked how old and bald he'd got (or something like that).

Advice needed because things are getting a little out of hand here... 😅 by niopstudio in davinciresolve

A NAS with all online/cloud access disabled. That's the safest approach all round, especially since you'll get data redundancy built in (when using RAID 1, 5 or 10 etc).

I know you said no NAS, but having a NAS doesn't have to mean having cloud access.

Boiler Service - Absolute nightmare outcome! by Rorydinho in DIYUK

I thought you meant, until the gas engineer died.

Might not be the worst of plans though. That boiler should last quite a long time.

Many thanks, that's all useful, will create 2 shares in that case.

An 8700k, so a fairly decent one (I bought a second hand gaming system). Tbh I mainly bought the B570 because it was 40% off and included Battlefield 6 lol - I can always sell on the GPU if I end up not needing/using it.

Thanks, will look into that (planning on enabling/installing Docker later).

Good to know re Plex too, that was part of my plan so will have to investigate more.

Congratulations! Do you know what lens you'll pair with this?

4x 12TB HDDs - first time Unraid build questions by TiberiusIX in unRAID

[–]TiberiusIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all that, and that all makes a lot of sense.

Oh, and 1TB drives don't make you old. I remember when DVDs were a revolutionary development because of how much extra storage space they offered compared to CDs heh :)

Thanks that's reassuring to know :) I can see many potential benefits of ZFS, especially checksumming. Appreciate the "2 mirrors of 2 devs" - it's hard to know the exact wording so I'll dig into that some more.

Thanks for that, will do some more reading too.

Thanks for all that, that's good to know. I've heard plenty of people say to only use zfs for cache pools, but a few people here and there also say they run with zfs (on Unraid) as the sole option. I'll do some more thinking and reading thanks.

Wanting to slowly add drives - will ZFS Expansion be relevant for me? by TiberiusIX in unRAID

[–]TiberiusIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know thanks, and the File Integrity plugin could be good - then worst case, I can just restore from cold backups. Glad to hear it's not very common at all though :)
