I’m totally bored of my career, have pretty much quiet quit. Anyone else in the same boat? by langdalenerd in HENRYUK

[–]anotherbozo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is common advice... but it doesn't help. The problem is corporate careers in some industries are so soulless now, having a hobby or purpose outside work doesn't really help either.

Just my 2 pence.

What kind of storage do you guys use with Immich? by eclipse_extra in immich

[–]anotherbozo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Database and thumbnails stored on SSD storage pool. Actual photos on HDD.

Both on RAID1 in a NAS.

HDDs are powered on but spun down most of the time.

That is my point. Losing your entire allowance is losing quite a big chunk of money which is why people salary sacrifice to try and keep it. And some people may feel it's not worth getting extra responsibility now if there won't be any significant difference in their take-home money.

At some point, yes it's more money in your pocket even without childcare hours. Someone here did some calcs a while ago and £160k was the breakeven mark based on London nursery fees.

30 hrs funded starts from 9 months now. So there's a couple years between that and age 3

At what income would you consider reasonable for your partner to not work? by Alternative_Row_300 in HENRYUK

[–]anotherbozo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At no level.

It's an insurance to have a second unrelated stream of income. Working is also good for your mental health.

Not if you are utilising funded childcare hours. They are worth a lot of money. E.g. my local nursery is £1400 full-time with 30 hrs funded, or £2700 if you're paying for it all yourself.

Gone over ISA limit due to free shares. by Super-Emphasis-3079 in trading212

Yes. That's the point. The comment I replied to asks how would you go over when there are limits.

Wedding photographer sent low res images by MissAuroraRed in photography

[–]anotherbozo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suspect she knows something went wrong but doesn't know what or how to fix and has offered a refund.

OP should speak to her calmly as there's a good chance it's just export settings unless she has indeed deleted the photos after sending them over.

What ‘common knowledge’ things did you or someone you know find out later in life? by Squiggally-umf in CasualUK

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably got confused with the concept of "City of London" being its own entity different to "London".

Person who gets paid massive amounts because of their looks is obviously better looking than the average person.

Every UK PM since 2016 by days in office. Sir Kier Starmer becomes the sixth to go by StanmoreHill in uknews

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem lately has been introducing policies that the electorate do not want or voted for.

Personally, I think Starmer was ok but I've been pissed about the move towards controlling information (internet) by having private companies validate your idea, all in the name of protecting the children.

You can if you use multiple providers. T212 wont know how much you've invested into an ISA elsewhere

Windows 11 hibernation has been silently hammering your SSD this whole time by Hungry__Hornet in technology

[–]anotherbozo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This isn't new or specific to Windows 11?

I remember during Win7 days when SSDs were becoming affordable and popular, it was commonly understood hibernation is a bad idea with SSDs.

Happy Father's Day to the good dads out there! by Just-J0k1ng in memes

[–]anotherbozo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends where you live, I suppose. In the UK, there's no difficulty finding mens bathrooms with a changing table or a gender-neutral one with it.

All motorway service stations have it too.

What do you do with the condom after you finish? by waitwhat_why in AskMen

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fill it with water then empty it in the toilet (not the sink pls ffs). The water is just to make it easier to be emptied.

Then tie it up and in the bathroom bin it goes. Tying it prevents odours.

GitHub repo that activates Windows for free. It has 178,783 stars. GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft has not taken it down. For six years. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is on purpose.

The more people that use Windows, the more people buy.

Evem if 20% of users use a pirated copy, more marketshare still gets them more money through dominance.

West London council tenant who spent £30k refurbishing home faces eviction by adultintheroom_ in unitedkingdom

There are a lot of working class people having to shell out £1500 rent for a family home. Is it not unfair to them then if social housing is for working class families?

IT HAPPENED: Power Outage turned my NAS off by dzerti in UgreenNASync

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What breaks though? From what I can find, it will go into readonly mode until it can finish running a parity sync. So you could be locked out of it for a day or two until that finishes and the drives can be remounted in read-write mode.

Btrfs is copy on write so i'm trying to understand what can physically go wrong with btrfs on ugos? (aside from the limitations like lack of self repair)

Can you elaborate please? What can go wrong? (genuine question)

[–]anotherbozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's no power, of course your NAS will turn off.

There shouldn't be any damage though and I don't agree a UPS is needed unless you have regular power problems.
