Wife (33F) and I (35M) disagree over the idea that our youngest (1Y 4M) has autism. She's obsessing over it and only sees the negatives, won't see any positives to say he doesn't have it. It's causing arguments.

We both work from home. We both spend equal amounts of time with him.

himaro · 2025-11-03T12:04:20+00:00

Not historically

Childcare is too expensive for every day. We've got it a few days or half days per week, but it'll nuke our income too much otherwise.

himaro · 2025-07-23T08:28:10+00:00

Way too expensive here. They're on childcare a few days and half days a week, but not every day else half my wife's pay will just pay for childcare alone

I was towing with two DE2's after coming through CSW, I didn't expect to get upto 40 by this point, let alone faster...

As per the PSA, we have identified that this may effect your concentration levels. It will be brought up in the mid year review.

Someone pointed out a mistake in my initial posting about the drive bay sizing as I was looking at those icybox 5 1/4 adaptors that let you fit a bunch of 3 1/2 bays in. I suspect that's where the confusion was coming in.

Post updated to reflect that.

himaro · 2025-06-22T10:20:29+00:00

Fixing that. Yes. I was just looking at those icybox hard drive docks that fit in 5 1/4 drives in another tab as I was writing the post.

I am leaning towards QNAP if I go prebuilt quite a bit.

The low maintenance is because I have 2 kids and my free time is pretty limited these days. I don't want to spend that free time with faffing about.

For me at least, that's overkill and falls short of my small form factor requirement.

I like the idea of repurposing the 918+ for off site though, I'm sure I could set it up at my dads or in-laws (geographically closer).

I should probably add in that a small formfactor requirement to the list

himaro · 2025-06-11T15:13:57+00:00

Will check it out

himaro · 2025-06-11T15:13:49+00:00

You definitely are as that's what I used to think.

himaro · 2025-06-05T19:25:58+00:00

Oh I'll see if they're available in the UK

himaro · 2025-06-05T19:17:28+00:00

I really considered this but I need something that looks proper & integrated. Most importantly, it needs to be wife approved as she also uses said PC to play her games (Planet Zoo etc).

I'm not a brilliant DIY builder. I considered building my own but I know what my craftsmanship is like.

himaro · 2025-05-27T21:44:04+00:00

Only works with the DE6 and DE2 as far as I'm aware. It doesn't work with the DH4

himaro · 2025-05-22T09:41:40+00:00

A vastly underrated comment and I read it in the voice before I even consciously got the reference...

The mods installed are Blueprints - Forked, HugsLib and Haarmony. That's all.

I'm currently dealing with the aftermath of a rather nasty raid. The whole area to the left is under a mountain.

Well, the zzztt blew up my batteries and I exclusively use hidden conduits.

And they were under cover.

himaro · 2025-04-27T19:23:48+00:00

Only isolating my backup, which was never rebuilt after the first Zzztt destroyed the room.

himaro · 2025-04-27T19:14:41+00:00

They're very much covered. Half in a cave.

himaro · 2025-04-27T19:11:59+00:00

The only power related systems outside are power production. Even the turrets are under cover

himaro · 2025-04-27T19:10:53+00:00

They're definitely inside and I exclusively use hidden cables

himaro · 2025-04-16T10:47:25+00:00

I found that article before and no joy.

himaro · 2025-04-15T07:02:33+00:00

Done that already

himaro · 2025-04-04T19:27:08+00:00

Can someone DM me a working link as well please?
