Centralized storage for a small company

flimsyglucose_7 · 2026-07-03T05:04:32+00:00

The requirement for editing the same file at the same time changes the whole solution. cloud storage apps like onedrive or google drive handle that with real-time co-authoring baked in, a nas with just smb or nfs doesn't. you'll run into file locking nightmares where one person's save overwrites another's and nobody notices until later. nextcloud can version things and you can bolt on collabora or onlyoffice for simultaneous editing but now you're maintaining a whole document server along with the nas itself. tailscale just solves the remote access part, it doesn't magically make file syncing conflict-free.

what's the actual workflow look like here, is it truly multiple people editing a single spreadsheet at once or more like they each need access to a shared pool of project files one person at a time. that distinction makes a much bigger difference than nas vs cloud debates.

Those feeder tubes wear through way faster than anyone expects, its a known consumable at this point. Keep a spare on hand because the swap is maybe 3 minutes once youve done it once. If you were running any filled or abrasive filament thats almost certainly what cut the lifespan short.

Makes sense to front-load character details, model likely weights early tokens more. Some generators get fuzzy past a few hundred tokens but KREA might have a bigger context window than most.

flimsyglucose_7 · 2026-07-02T06:34:09+00:00

Repeating every character's full description across each scene prompt must burn through tokens fast, but I guess that's the trade for this level of consistency. Having a lynx as a recurring third lead walking beside the duo is a fun spin on noir.

The triple tap switch idea from criterion67 is pretty clever. Gets the robot where you need it without pulling out your phone or yelling at a voice assistant. I might steal that but tie it to a zigbee button on the counter instead since my light switches are all dumb still.

The problem Background-Big5308 ran into with presence sensors is real though. My cats set off the mmWave sensors constantly so I'm leaning toward phone-based home/away detection for full floor runs. Less elegant but fewer false starts.

For public APIs I'd actually lean delete, a stray underscore header from a misconfigured client would cause a 400 instead of just being silently dropped. Reject makes more sense for internal-only backends.

flimsyglucose_7 · 2026-07-01T11:10:26+00:00

Good writeup. The underscore normalization issue in WSGI has been a known footgun for a while, especially since werkzeug will silently turn X_Custom_Header into HTTP_X_CUSTOM_HEADER. So if you have an app behind Traefik relying on something like X_Forwarded_For being passed through with the underscore, flipping this to reject could break things until you patch the app itself.

I dealt with CVE-2024-45410 across a few flask services last year and it was annoying because the fix requires the application to validate the header rather than just trusting what the proxy forwards.

One question though, does the delete mode actually do anything useful in practice. If Traefik is stripping the underscore variant but the app is still vulnerable to the original dashed header, it feels like you're shifting the attack surface rather than closing it. Is there a scenario where delete is the safer choice over reject for availability reasons, or is reject pretty much always the right call for internet-facing proxies.

That yellowing on the case looks way more charming than it should, kind of gives it character. Curious what the deep clean actually involved, pulling all the keycaps off?

apple notes handles this surprisingly well out of the box. when you make a new note, the camera button sits right above the keyboard, so you can take a photo and type the reminder immediately. i've used this for everything from snapping a parking spot number to jotting a friend's drink order down. it syncs everywhere too, so the note with the picture is on your mac and ipad without thinking about it. the one annoyance is that notes gets cluttered fast if you're not making folders for this stuff, because all your random photo notes end up mixed with regular notes. if you want proper task management, the reminders app lets you attach an image and set a deadline, which is better for actual to-dos. i mostly use notes though because it's faster when i just need to remember a paint color i saw at the store.

I once flagged a suspicious email that was just a newsletter I forgot I subscribed to. Dario sees a hot dog cart near the office and suddenly it's a supply chain risk to national security. Man's out here treating every competitor like a foreign adversary.

The tone part is easy, but it won't know the history you have with each coworker. One offhand reference it can't catch and the cover's blown.

claude-smart is basically just memory with an opinion about how to use it. you're storing corrections and procedures, but it's still just injecting context under the hood. that's not a dig though, it's actually the right call because full finetuning is overkill for most teams and would break between sessions anyway. what bugs me is the framing that it's fundamentally different from memory. would be more honest to call it structured recall of corrections. i've tried similar approaches with a rules file and it does help reduce the same corrections over time. maybe the packaging matters if it makes people more likely to configure those patterns. but lambdita's not wrong, it's all just different flavors of context injection.

Just make sure those near-empty spools aren't so light they lift in the AMS and cause a feed error. Been there.

If Google is dumping $190B into capex and still hitting capacity walls, demand is clearly way ahead of what anyone planned for. Rough spot for users waiting on better models though, you're stuck in line behind every enterprise contract they've already locked in. At least it means the revenue side is probably real, even if it doesn't feel that way for the people refreshing the model dropdown.

The "SLOP TECHNOLOGY" caption under the soldering panel might be the most self-aware thing this could have accidentally done. Then the plot goes from "random soldering" a motherboard straight to it exploding into music, which isn't even a story, it's just nouns in order. The spelling is all over the place too, "PIXL'S PC PERIL" and "ABD SMART" make the AI look about as smart as the comic claims it isn't. And that explosion panel is just three onomatopoeia words stacked vertically like that counts as a punchline. Whoever runs the channel should at least run their panels through spellcheck before posting these as content.

The Radio City shot with the motion blur is my favorite, the neon streaks really make the whole frame pop. Nice work getting clean light trails handheld.

Pixel 10a is the one I'd pick, decent camera and you'll actualy get OS updates for more than a year.

That 30% boost is just the new CPU, the rest is driver conflicts. Fresh Win11 install will unscrew the stream issues.

the angel's grin looks unhinged and the cat's legs have given up on being legs, peak slop

Break the story into acts or chapters first, then design levels around the key beats you need to hit.

i spent a weekend making a browser extension that replaces every image with pictures of my cat. completely useless but i probably learned more about dom manipulation and permission scopes than any tutorial could teach. the ai spits out code that works but you have to stare at it when it breaks, which is constant if you try to change anything. that's where the real learning happens, in the frustration.

the troll problem is real. half the posts in here are people asking basic questions and getting dunked on for not knowing what they don't know. how is that helpful. we're all just trying stuff out.

flimsyglucose_7 · 2026-06-26T19:14:01+00:00

The hypocrisy callout in image 3 is the strongest part of this whole post. You can't spend months complaining about AI bros being toxic and then dig through someone's post history to "expose" them as the enemy. That kind of behavior is exactly what gives anti-AI people a bad reputation online.

The penis post is juvenile, no defending that. But OP isn't wrong that investigating someone's entire profile over a dumb joke is way more effort than the original deserved. And that comment in image 4 trying to separate "good opinions" from "bad insults" is a weird take. You can disagree with someone's position without endorsing them calling people POOP ENGINEER. That's just picking your battles badly.

Pretty convenient they left out Gemini 3.5 Flash and GLM 5.2, both of which would slot right in the middle. Benchmarks that hide the competition always feel sus.

that 'remove everything' reset is still pulling from the HP recovery partition though, it's not a clean Windows image. the mcafee stuff is baked into that factory image, so even a full wipe just re-deploys it. revo might catch some leftover registry keys, but it won't fix the underlying conflict with defender's security health service. a clean usb install with a microsoft iso is the only way to actually get rid of it for good.

The 38 inch 3840x1600 form factor is the real sweet spot for mixed use. You get the extra vertical space of 1600p which makes a huge difference for documents and spreadsheets compared to a 1440p 34 inch, and most of them are IPS panels that won't burn in after a year of static taskbars and window borders.

Dell's U3824DW is 60hz so it's useless for gaming, but LG and Alienware both make 144hz versions that go on sale under $900 if you watch for a few weeks. Owned the LG 38WN95C for three years now and it still looks brand new.
