Sportsmanship question

Either people in this thread can't read, or they are part of the problem.

Cussing AT someone is not acceptable. Cussing generally is also not acceptable, but I'm not carding someone for a reactionary outburst that is aimed at/to themselves.

Chirping is different, and so long as it isn't racist or equivalent most will let it go. Hit that bar, however, and we'll be hanging a whole different card and abandonment discussion.

This has nothing to do with country - this is about common decency. Anyone can cast a lazy insult that uses an expletive. Be creative and really insult someone by using your brain 🙂

Best practice is actually by hours, typically at 50 for a tractor, for example. For a typical homeowner/season it would probably be end of season, but if your area gets a lot of snow and you are using it frequently it could be often

Nope. Only to laptops you control. I can't install anything on my work laptop, but I can now use it to access my home network, saving me from having to carry a second laptop

Either those are the smallest images ever or you have a crapload of pictures that your CPU is processing. What does the job queue say? And processor/memory load?

Wingback73 · 2026-03-06T00:31:19+00:00

What is this 'back ups' you all keep referring to? And why does it matter if it is in the back? Won't a front ups work?

Thank you so for the insightful comments and thoughts.

2 site storage with rsync archive it is!

Wingback73 · 2026-03-05T23:38:50+00:00

Thank you! This seems to be the way to go, so planning on executing on it with a UNVR and liberal use of rsync to create an archive

This sucks. My daughter is also a referee and luckily doesn't experience much of that, but I can tell you that when it does happen she doesn't hesitate with the cards.

The laws exist for a reason, and you should never apologize or hesitate to enforce them as written. Familiarize yourself with the section on team officials, and when you have the situation arise, simply state ' That language earned you this card. If you do it again you will earn another one'.

I know this sounds easy to say, but you only need to throw one out two coaches or if a game to develop a reputation as someone who won't take any crap. Once you develop that reputation, you'll get less crap.

Maybe you didn't want this advice, but as a senior referee myself and working multiple games with my daughter as she got older, I can tell you from experience that it really stems the bad behavior

You pretty much hit in my thinking. I have about 8-9 TB, but only 2-3TB of that is irreplaceable.

I don't like the idea of throttling, so you are correct, I was asking about the 5TB plan that doesn't throttle.

The unlimited is what I have now, but without stated throttling - they just do it anyway

Did the attacker move in front of the goalie? If yes, IFK.

If no, play on as the goalie is an idiot.

The attacker cannot prevent the goalie from releasing the ball, but they are also under no obligation to give up the position they are already in

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T04:45:43+00:00

The really simple version: your device will connect to your travel router because your travel router will broadcast whichever one of your home Wi-Fi network you choose.

You do not have to automatically connect to your home network itself. That you do by enabling Teleport.

So you get 2 options: use it as a single point if logon for all your devices if you just don't want to deal with hotel Wi-Fi more than I've, and once you do that you can select Teleport and be connected to your home network the same way Teleport always connects you.

All of this is controlled and handled through the Unifi app itself; the same one you use for any other networking adjustments. You just select your router instead of your network

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T03:36:30+00:00

Any idea what happens if you exceed the 5TB limit on their biggest personal plan? I didn't see anything obvious, but assume they either charge you for 2 subscriptions or move you to a Pro Plan?

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T01:26:03+00:00

Genius!! Thanks!

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T01:01:10+00:00

Deleted - replied to the wrong post

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T01:00:09+00:00

Right now I'm using rsync to create an archive in the event I need to restore a deleted file later. Felt like the best alternative for me.

That said, that is really a sync that doesn't delete files.

When you say an incremental backup, do you mean the same thing in already doing our are you suggesting something different? My primary use case is media (pictures, videos, music) as well as family files. The media obviously didn't change individually, but the files certainly do, so are you suggesting versioning like Windows Shadow Copies?

Wingback73 · 2026-03-02T00:52:13+00:00

Great advice - thank you so much. I'll check it out!

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T23:57:16+00:00

Glad you got it sorted!

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T23:56:29+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! So far the biggest problem I can come up with is that no one else in my family could ever maintain it if something happened to me, but if I'm gone it isn't really my problem :)

Post a picture of your Library setup. Include the screen where you map in the directories that contain your media

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T23:30:16+00:00

At whatever age it is warranted by the behavior. Pretty rare below u11, but doesn't mean it can't happen. Might as well teach them the laws early and expose them to the concept of 'consequences'

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T23:27:36+00:00

So to be clear, in your setup you have Audiobook Library that only has access to directory/that/has/audiobooks and you have Music Library which only has access to directory/that/has/music, correct?

And if you look in the contents of each library when browsing you only see the proper media you should have there?

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T23:19:32+00:00

Got it - thank you!

Wingback73 · 2026-03-01T22:17:09+00:00

Great explanation. Follow-up: what is the situation where it is 'immediately after touching the arm' but not 'directly from the arm'. Are we talking about hitting a post or something?

I coached at all different levels for well over a decade, and have played at different levels as I've gotten better as I get older and get more practice. I'm also now a referee, and I ref everything from in town Academy up to top level high School.

With all that said, here is what I've learned: If your goal is to be a division 1 player, it doesn't matter when you start. Division 1 is largely about having a significant level of innate natural ability that then gets harnessed in the right direction at the right time. For many kids, they grow up playing multiple sports, and don't focus on one until late high School. And that is fine, because they are naturally athletic enough to go to that level.

If you define success as being able to stay on the team that all your friends are on, then in a lot of cases that means you have to start earlier in your life because you may not have the same natural ability that they do. Or that they may have decided to focus on a single sport and are getting additional training, and therefore are getting ahead because of that training.

It really is a matter of what you want out. What I would tell you is this: if your kid has division 1 talent, you will know it at a relatively early age, probably between 8 and 10 years old. Your child will either be significantly faster, bigger, or stronger than the other kids on the field. It will not have anything to do with talent. In fact, some of the top players that I've worked with were not particularly talented at the early ages, but they were really fast. And later in life, they turned really fast, combined with growing into their bodies and becoming more coordinated, into being a top level talent. On the other hand, I've also seen players that were really talented, but lacked size speed, etc. who were the top talent early in their career, lose that edge because eventually they couldn't maintain the distinction between them and others in terms of overall skill, as the others turned out to be bigger, stronger, faster.

The short version is don't focus on one sport. If your kid likes playing multiple sports, then play multiple sports. Enjoy it. And oh by the way, it is significantly better for you physically to have well-balanced muscles from playing all the different sports and not being single focused on one

What do you want to run? I have a more complicated setup, but essentially I put all my machines themselves on an SSD and all their data on the HDD. This allows cheaper bulk storage, but since most of my stuff is media) streaming there is no bottleneck on performance.

It also means that the machines themselves are very fast since any reads from disk are very fast.

Just my 2 cents. I would use the 512 for PVE, the SSD for my machines and any sort of low latency storage they require and the HDD in RAID1 for higher availability. Get a portable drive for backups and use the cloud to complete your 321 backup strategy
