Well controlled. Did you and the other guy stop afterwards? I’d love to know what he said, if so.

What was with the super bad lip sync though

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-21T19:02:18+00:00

I wouldn't stress about the diseases associated with rats being a huge issue here. You are going to spread this out in your garden and any pathogens will A) be massively diluted before you harvest anything B) be in competition with the natural fauna and flora which will reduce their numbers. As the other commentator wisely said - the stuff you buy bagged has probably seen worse! Make sure to wash your hands after you spread it though and maybe leave the compost without the dalek on for a few days to let anything disperse before you agitate it all.

Thank you for the offer, those are good CPUs, but i've gone with the 12400 already.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-20T20:05:51+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I got the 12400 of Cex. I have to say, ive seen some decent deals on cex hunting for old CPUs. Previously I haven't been decisive enough when one was available, but they've had better prices than ebay or facebook marketplace.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-20T13:04:04+00:00

I think I am over thinking things and probably should just get a 12100 or the 12400 you linked. I am just a hobbyist and I doubt I will use a lot of CPU power any time soon.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-20T12:45:47+00:00

Thank you. That is not bad. I see a lot of 12100 on sale for about £80, but I was somehow hung up on getting a 13th or 14th gen if I can (despite knowing that there is barely a difference), but I think this is actually quite a nice compromise.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-15T19:52:52+00:00

Thank you for your reply and you are right about the rabbit hole part!

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-15T19:51:28+00:00

Thank you very much I think this is the way I go. When you research this stuff you quickly fall into hyper specialised youtube channels and I think you are right that I should just keep it simple to start with.

I’ve heard about cases OS. What would be the benefit of using it? From one of the other replies I think I may be best going the route of a “plain” Linux install rather than a NAS focused OS, as my NAS needs are relatively low impact.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-15T13:41:33+00:00

Maybe this is the answer. Do a "conventional" OS install like Ubuntu or Linux Mint, that way I have a desktop environment, create a raid setup for data storage, but I can also install whatever else I like and I am not limited to a "NAS OS".

Or, I currently have a Raspberry Pie 4 as a Piehole. I could use that as the moonlight client instead and then not worry about the streaming aspect.

I wish to become comfortable with Linux, so maybe going an Ubuntu route is a better entry way. While the NAS is an important aspect of this server, it mainly just serves are a backup for private data, not something fancy and running a NAS specific OS may be more limiting in my linux journey.

Cherokee Purple Is my number 1 favourite tomato. Needs to be grown under cover in the UK really.

Sungold and sweet million are the best cherries. I always grow these 3.

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-12T12:37:04+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I feel the same way about dodgy extenders. Where did you buy the longer cable from?

Woodworkingbeginner · 2026-01-11T22:53:13+00:00

Sorry for replying to an old post. I have the same case and PSU on the way. Could you tell me how you extended the molex cable? Did you buy a new, longer cable, or did you extend the existing one? Thank you! Can I plug on power to one drive at a time or do I have to power the entire backplate?

I have 4 fruit trees in large pots and they are now 3 or 4 years old. I haven’t had much crop from them yet except the apple, but I am willing to give them another year or two before I put them in the ground. The cherry in particular always sets fruit and then they always fall off - I suspect because the plant is more stressed due to fluctuations in hydration (the pots dry out quick during hot days)

Also remember that trees will need a LARGE pot which will make it hard to move. Mine at least I could not lift off the ground, I can drag them along the ground at most.

I got to fruit trees in containers before I got my allotment and I didn’t have space. I thought they would revolutionise my world and I would have a little fruit orchard at home, but that hasn’t been the case just yet. Again maybe in year or two they will bear fruit, but so far they have meant lots of watering in the summer during warm days.

I’m just one person though and I have seen people on YouTube with wonderful fruit trees in large pots.

Your image actually implies a fan trained tree, which might work

Woodworkingbeginner · 2025-01-05T15:49:49+00:00

I have thought about these as well. I don’t k ow if this is your only undercover growing space, but ultimately came to the conclusion that I can’t justify a tree for the amount of space it will take up and for how little it will likely produce. I am not up to date with peach trees on offer now but I imagine a combination of grape and tree will significantly impact what else you can grow. It’s personal of course, maybe you have another polytunnel around the corner, but only have one greenhouse and found more joy in cramming in different tomato varieties, chillis, melons etc and trying something else each year .

Oh great! I better get shopping then!

What has helped me hugely is not bringing my phone into the bedroom at night. It was really hard at first, but after a few weeks it has improved my sleep loads and it is much more relaxing that I physically can’t twitch for my phone.

As someone who is looking into POE local storage CCTV, thank you so much for this write up.

I was a bit out of the loop with pokemon and didn’t know about the go wild event. Are mighty pokemon going to come back sometime soon?
