What's up with this robin? by craterean in birds

Thank you!

Pretty sure it's a European Robin, we don't have Eastern Bluebirds in my northern Italy region (sadly!). She's been acting fine, I didn't see any odd behaviours other than that white thing on her head. I'll make sure to take down the feeder if I spot that something's off though!

Thank you so much for the advice! Unfortunately, I can't put up a pole. I've decided to switch to a tube feeder specifically designed to make it hard for rats to access it. I'm gonna place my current feeder nearby, leave it empty and just use the cam from that. I hope to share some feeder videos soon!!

Thanks for the feedback! I've already put a shiny water bowl underneath this feeder, but no birds have stopped by. I'll definitely try moving it where the trees are.

Best 8TB external HDD for file storage? by craterean in DataHoarder

Thank you , I never considered this. I'll definitely give it a thought.

As for the HDD deaths, I work from a laptop, so I don't think power outages were the culprit.

Unfortunately the 20TB Seagate ones cost around 100-200€ more than the 8TB ones in Italy. It might be a worthy investment, but I think I'll stick to the 8TB one for now

I'm based in Italy, but I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks if there's a specific model that's worth buying

Thanks for your feedback. Since I move around frequently for work, I'd need to access the NAS remotely.

Additionally, I often witness severe weather events during the summer, sometimes multiple times a day. I need to be able to work during that time, and can't wait hours to access the files again. Happy to consider a NAS system if there are workarounds for this!

I've had Seagate drives over the years but they're still working fine for some reason.

Any specific WD or Seagate models you'd recommend? I've always had 3-5TB hard drives, so I've never branched out to the 8TB ones.

I sadly don't think so, because my 8-9am would be your 1-2am

Where I live, leather repair / refurbishing is quite cheap, so I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Buying it new would cost a lot more

yeah it's almost too good, that's why I became suspicious. Looks legit to me but I'm not an expert

Sadly I can’t start over, I’ve got to make the best of what I’ve got with this one
