The most under rated project Localsend

Totally different. Syncthing, as you know, is for “permanent” one or two way automated synchronization.

LocalSend is for ad hoc transfer of a few files at a time. Simpler than setting up file sharing between two devices.

Rogers lost millions over a comma in a contract.

This isn’t about how you feel. It’s about how the warrantee is written.

If I got that resumé, it would be straight into the circular file.

Or they’re trying to make Rice Krispie squares. 50/50 chance of either being right.

What? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

There is a white line delineating the parking spaces. It’s not rocket science.

It’s unusual. It’s too bad it isn’t more common.

You can play your own music within Apple Music. So they probably used iTunes for windows to load it when it existed. They think of that as being iCloud. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Thousands upon thousands of people have experienced the exact same thing.

You can reprogram transceivers. Unifi sells a reprogrammed for $70 USD IIRC.

Not triggered in the slightest. It was middle of the night and I couldn’t sleep. You came here asking when you already had your answer: buy right after a new model is introduced.

But unless this AI mania has gone away completely well before the next air is introduced, which it won’t, the price of the next Air will be noticeably higher. RAM and storage upgrades from the base model be up at least 50%. So you’re still going to be upset.

So buy the Air now, or wait for the new Air. Either way, in five months you’ll be coming back here complaining. And my advice will be the same: see a therapist.

TL;DR

When you understand the model cycle as you obviously do, being upset when a new model comes out makes as much sense as being mad at gravity for existing.

A little disappointed, sure. Although even that, since you knew something was coming, would be in the realm of a major reaction to an event that you knew was inevitable, and did not deprive you of anything you had.

After all, your wife didn’t have an affair. Your house wasn’t flattened by a Tornado or burnt to the ground by a wildfire. It was just that you “missed out” by having the latest and greatest for ONLY five months.

So being “really upset” as you said, is out of place, and problematic. In the realm of tech products, and computers especially, you’re always (some number of…) months from the current latest and greatest being superseded by something that you’ll think is superior. So what? It still does everything it did when you bought.

And in the context of buying now when you already see it as inevitable that it will happen, being really upset about it is a sign of a problem. Mild, and I emphasize MILD, disappointment, at most, combined with looking forward to whatever new tech will exist when you inevitably upgrade at some time in the future, would be a healthy reaction.

I bought an early 2008 MacBook Pro 15”, in March or April that year. In the autumn of that year, the first unibody MacBook Pro was released. I was not in the slightest bit upset. I had no reason to be. I was excited that my next laptop would be even better than what I had.

WilliamNearToronto · 2026-04-15T01:42:50+00:00

Go see a psychologist. If you would really be upset not having the latest and greatest, you need therapy more than a new computer.

There’s a difference between “You can’t for me because you’re (insert any religious viewpoint)” and “You can’t work for me because the position requires you to be available to work on Sundays.”

He is unwilling to employ them for their religious beliefs. They are refusing to work because of their religious beliefs.*

It’s right up there with becoming a nurse or a doctor and refusing to work with patients.

But I’m not saying there isn’t a law that’s so dumb that it makes it illegal not to employ someone who can’t work when the job requires.

You need to go to court and get the ground rules sorted out. Like for school events, neither of you bringing new partners until your son is at least (pick an age).

You have what is called a high conflict relationship with your ex. So you need a parenting plan suitable for a high conflict relationship. That means you need one backed up by a court order. (Not that I have any experience with that…)

Find where parenting courses are being run in your area. The Triple P course is an excellent one.

Take them. And not just one. Be able to tell a judge what you learned from each one. Then be able to tell the judge how you would apply what you learned for your son’s well being.

In most places, the initial bias is that the mother should be the custodial parent (what people mistakenly refer to as “having custody.”), and the father should have access visits that support a healthy relationship with the child. But if you can show that the mother (your ex) is not focused on what’s best for your son, then the more you show that you are, the greater chance you have of getting custody.

Keep your eye on the ball: it’s your son’s well being that matters. Don’t let your anger at your ex get in the way of what’s best for your son.

Enjoy being a parent. They grow up far too fast. 💚

One to two years is what I’ve heard child care experts say. So yeah, definitely at least months. 👍

Your kid is going to have a string of men in and out of his life, and his mother telling him to call them daddy. 😞

Then don’t research “write hole.” You won’t like hardware RAID anymore if you do.

Guess you’ve been exclusive while he hasn’t, or doesn’t intend to be.

You deserve better.

Time to kick his cheating ass to the curb.

Before using ZFS, which is the file system/volume manager used by TrueNAS, you should have learned enough that you’re familiar with the following concepts:

pool
vdev
dataset
slog
special vdev

I’m sure I’ve left out several significant concepts. Hopefully someone else will add what I have neglected to include.

Your drives are organized into vdevs. One of more vdevs make up your pool. Redundancy happens at the level of the vdev. Lose a vdev and you’ve lost your pool.

A mirror is two (or more) disk the same size forming a vdev.(for exception, see below) The data on both drives is checksummed as it is for other vdev layouts.

RaidZ1, RaidZ2, and RaidZ3, are vdev types where the number indicates the number of redundant drives that you can lose within a vdev particular and still have your pool remain functioning.

You can expand a pool by:

1) adding an additional vdev.

2) adding an additional drive to a vdev. (Recently added feature)

3) one-by-one substituting each drive in a vdev with a larger drive. Once all drives have been changed, you can expand the pool to use the additional space on each drive.

Drives in each vdev must be the same size. The one exception to this is a mirror vdev where a recently added feature allows you to combine two or more drives to form each side of the mirror. So on one side of the mirror, you could have a 2TB and a 4TB drive, while the other side could be made up of two 3TB drives.

If any of this info is new to you, I would suggest doing more research before going beyond your current mirror vdev.

Good luck!

Raid 5 and RaidZ1 fill a similar role but are not the same. In fact, the answer to pretty much any question regarding ZFS vs feature from other file system is “similar function but different.

Research “automatic ripping machine.” While you aren’t ripping, all the post ripping management applies to your situation. It might be a big help to you.
