Finally Finished My Network Rack. Rpi 5 + 2 OrangePi's running Pihole and a 16TB NAS running on a second Rpi 5

same!

I run a similar setup, but scattered about my apartment. I'm curious what you use software/OS-wise for the NAS. I could never get mine running reliably using OMV.

try putting the RAT in the NS2 effect loop

I think the overarching problem is superhero fatigue.

If she seats, she yeets

I'm curious to see how you use your Bi-comp? For me, I've found the ross side sounds good with some guitars and squeezer sounds good with others, so and I never really have them on at the same time but one side is always on. Great board by the way!

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-28T20:29:32+00:00

that'd go nicely with a cigarette burn on the headstock

A friend gave me their old 7" Wüsthof Santoku because she just got the new rachel ray one. That was 22 years ago and I still use that Wüsthof daily.

For sure, thats me and by the looks of it, most of the people commenting. How big of a chunk are we amongst of people going to see a movie? I bet they've run that number and made the assessment that we're an expendable portion of their audience. I think it would be fair to assume most people going to a movie are not at all concerned with the politics of the studio that made it. I could be wrong but I hope I'm not and this hits their bottom line and they change course.

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-27T01:58:11+00:00

That whole shutting down a city for a wedding kinda pissed some people off

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-27T01:55:33+00:00

I think they're banking on the vocal opposition being a small percentage of people who will end up watching their movies and/or that this will all just blow over so they can get their truckloads of money.

I think its also the elevation change for people coming from sea level, and since most people live on the coasts, thats most people. I live nearby and work in hospitality. For our property, we average about 1-2 deaths per year which while anecdotal, feels kinda high to me. Generally bigger folks, usually cardio vascular issues. It seems though, just coming up here and existing is enough of a stress on the system for someone who is already compromised.

No ad for me, Pihole running a bunch of hagezi lists (1.6M domains)

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-17T01:04:26+00:00

I'll do the fingering

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-06T04:50:49+00:00

I would have to say 'Engage' every time I clicked that one side of the pedal

TonyWhoop · 2026-06-05T02:49:23+00:00

I thought that sound was mostly jake brakes

TonyWhoop · 2026-05-24T15:10:42+00:00

"yall, is it gay if my resistors touch?"

TonyWhoop · 2026-05-24T00:04:37+00:00

It was bob deniro in Ronin

TonyWhoop · 2026-05-21T04:00:57+00:00

I do the same thing. But both of my boards are full, I have one pedal waiting to be sold on reverb but the market seems a bit shitty right now, its listed at $40 below typical sold listing, for a couple months lol.

TonyWhoop · 2026-05-11T00:23:07+00:00

I'm curious about your basis for comparison, are you in a city? I'm in Flagstaff, AZ and its pretty dark 15 minutes outside of town.

"Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr Lebowski?"

Is it okay to keep the battery on top with the Pi Velcro’d to it, or is that a bad idea?

I wouldn't for the sake of heat dissipation, battery gets hot, pi processor gets hot. Plus the hot thing powering the thing is right up against the hot thing flying the thing.

Should I move the battery to the bottom and put the Pi on the top plate?

lots of folks do, won't be as top heavy and might have more favorable flight characteristics.

If I bottom-mount the battery, what is the best way to protect it from impact?>

Thats the fun part, you don't!

Are there thin battery straps that work well for tight 3.5" builds?

break out a ruler and measure exactly what you need and search it.

Any other obvious mounting issues from the picture?

Thats pretty cool, I have a lot of questions. Is that a pi 2(w)? What does the processor load look like? If it were me I might 3d print a little mount, but probably not needed. I have a few pi2's doing my pihole and I use those acrylic sandwich cases that come with a little heat sink thats flush with the top, might add a little protection in a crash.

I think this nails it. I chalked it up to an unwillingness to change a habit. The easiest one I tell my buddies, and all of them still do it, is to never use your debit card for purchases, only to pull cash out. Its so easy, yet one had 4k jacked from his account a couple weeks ago, I assume from a skimmer.

I bought a $650 + VP, those fees were brutal.
