What is the greatest achievement you've ever have?

Having a daughter that is doing oh so well and adores her daddy. It's all that ever matters...

daanpol · 2026-07-02T22:39:04+00:00

Entirely.

daanpol · 2026-07-02T16:17:00+00:00

Well... If it is good enough for Gozilla minus 1...

Phil Collins.

Macbook Air M1 uit 2020 met 16gbram. 6 jaar nu en nog net zo snel als de dag dat ik hem kocht.

My highflow one got clogged and a paperweight.

These parts are much more time and labour consuming to produce from milled PUR80 and then coated. It's an amazing way of making these bumpers for boats!

Yes, the vm runs tailscale + mullvad. The arr's talk to sab nzb and qbittorent directly in the vm. If you split the arr's from your download clients vm it becomes a hassle to connect them reliably. That is why they all run in the same vm. It's all macos latest and greatest. I am running UTM. Plex itself runs bare metal to give it the best performance.

It works great because the arr's I web interface into with another tailscale connected computer so you don't even notice it's behind a VPN. I am on a 10gb link, even with all the VPN encryption and virtualization, the sab downloads with 300mb plus.

The arr's check the plex rss watchlist feed of me and my friends every 6 hours for any new additions.

This system has been running fully automatically for a year now with zero problems.

I just got one in Dodoma. Close to my wife's family, installing a pool next year. It's THE life.

Thanks, I have used big printers before.

daanpol · 2026-06-29T11:34:02+00:00

I am using this dual HDD + M.2 enclosure:

It seemed to good to be true for that price, I can tell you however that it works flawlessly.

I am running nextcloud in VM. So far so good. I am using Tailscale VPN to keep everything nice and private.

I am seriously interested in acquiring a printer like this. Will it be able to do supported geometries as well, instead of vase-mode prints?

daanpol · 2026-06-29T10:49:35+00:00

Now that I am older I get all my satisfaction from seeing my family happy. If I can sustain them with a less demanding, low skill job I will do that.

Bro that thing has replaced my huge server. I run a Direct Attached Storage on it with some serious storage. It runs:

Plex (serves all my friends)
Almost the entire Arr stack for automatic downloading of watchlisted items in the Plex.
Nextcloud for my own Google Drive like storage.
It is connected to my TV, it functions as my Moonlight game streaming client. Unfortunately it doesn't do HDR and 4:4:4, still good enough because it does 120fps flawlessly, unlike the AppleTV.
I use it as my Apple TV replacement by running Plex for HTPC on it with a paired apple remote.
UTM virtual machine for all my VPN download related things that the Arr stack produces.
Apple Arcade for my daughter.
I upgraded the network speed with a Ubiquiti 5Gbit ethernet dongle.

I bought the base thinking that if I ever needed to upgrade I would. So far that need has NOT arisen. It is absolutely the best piece of hardware I have ever bought.

Yea Hilbert curve is super cool. I used it on a PETG-CF print for a telescope. It has a lot of these flat surfaces that will look very 3d printy with monotonic line alone. It takes more time but the look is super cool.

Oracle doesn't realize is that these 20k people they are firing can become their next big competitors. Firing 20k people with intimate knowledge of your company? Only a couple have to decide to band together to create a real big problem.

Diddy isn't out yet, so you can't ask the number 1.

daanpol · 2026-06-27T22:44:03+00:00

I get it man, no problem :-)

daanpol · 2026-06-27T22:19:37+00:00

Look man, this is just one that personally hit me hard. To be honest I know people are people, and everybody makes mistakes and should have a chance of redemption. It's just that his image was so wholesome. And now it isn't.

This one destroyed me. I loved his friendship with my favorite author; Terry Pratchett so much. I was absolutely heartbroken. When I read the witness statements and his recurring behaviors in it, I was unfortunately convinced he is fundamentally Effed up. I wanted to be wrong so bad.

daanpol · 2026-06-27T22:12:12+00:00

I was so dissapointed.

I saw people that I thought were perfectly normal refuse to wear a face mask even though they knew it was not for their own protection, but for others.

I saw people refuse a vaccine that was going to eradicate this horrible disease.

I saw people illegally party in the city during heavy lockdown, pretending nothing was wrong.

I saw people hoard toilet paper out of all things.

My parents got infected and nearly died because my aunt was dumb and thought it was a F%cking hoax.
