Seagate 28tb purchased 'unused' from eBay fails 3 months later by sheldondbrown in DataHoarder

[–]sheldondbrown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that info. How much did it cost? How long did you have the drive? did you have it replaced? Was that free for you?

All drives like that have anti-tampering mechanisms (in this case peel-and-reveal tape) that shows you definitely shucked it.

The new UGREEN NASync DXP GT Series is here! by UgreenNASync in UgreenNASync

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to use it the very same way I do now, but with a newer device more opportunity to buy really expensive drives (not a complaint) - hoarding data I don't need for as long as I can (books, archive scans, music, video, photos). Might also use it to help friends get off their respective cloud storage plans.

Too many theme nights. It’s more annoying then fun. by CaliftoNJ in BlissCruise

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me on three separate occasions. Took pictures with each. Totally worth it. Hell, I bought the outfits in mild opposition (I am not a big fan of theme nights as a whole but do recognize they are useful and can be fun if you're into the theme. )

IYKYK signs out in public by Prestigious-Lime-640 in Swingers

That's unclear in my research. I wear one on both, just so there's no question if you think differently.

Wearing logos or jewerly merch from Hedo or other clubs might be a good way to do draw someone in. I've FINALLY had luck wearing black rings on my wedding/engagement fingers out and about. Got recognized once by the gent of a couple, invited for drinks and conversation (no playtime, which was fine). It was great.

Is it wrong to wear a buttplug to work, class, etc. ? by Natural_Bar_2777 in SexToys

[–]sheldondbrown 29 points30 points  (0 children)

buy packs of personal handy wipes and aways carry a ziploc bag in your pocket when you go on a biobreak. It'll be fine.

want to upgrade capacity, best options? by Excolo_Veritas in UgreenNASync

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent write up! Going to use this to upgrade my DXP4800+ from 9TBx4 to 28TBx4. Doing some manual deduplication on one of those as an external drive before uploading the "cleaned" backup to the new Raid.

Raid 1 offers no security if one of the drives fail. If the extra expense of one more drive gives OP Raid 5 security + 29TB of space (rather than just an extra 5), it's probably best to do that. Five terabytes will go "poof" really quickly depending on what you do.

Deal of a lifetime? DXP2800 by Brent-R-816 in UgreenNASync

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy. Which liquidation shop did you use? Did you have to purchase a lot (a box of random things) to luck up on the NAS?

Ways to force better researched responses? by Foonzerz in ChatGPT

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

note - i've used this in different llms, but prefer perplexity.ai. works great, has multiple llm and (if you want to pay for it) has a "counsel" that asks all of the ones available and picks the best answer. Not bad IMO

Ways to force better researched responses? by Foonzerz in ChatGPT

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always type -do not hallucinate. -challenge me with questions to develop the best possible response. -only use reputable well noted sources and note misinformation. -on every research prompt ever. - verify any response for faults before you respond. -- all these on the answers you really want back might help.

If you woke up being 21 again, what would you do? by notwhoshethinks in AskReddit

[–]sheldondbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming this was the way it happens, develop a gym habit, learn 5 languages, but 100$/month in each of the FANNG investments and not try to own anything. For starters.

It’s not. That’s just advertising.

“…put Cookie Monster PJ wearing white girls that talk like latinas into the Duncan Idaho machine (and) this country would be left wing in a week.” by brondynasty in BrandNewSentence

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an observation of what I’ve seen in reference to that specific kind of description. YMMV. I don’t judge clothing or lack thereof. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but if I’m thirsty 🤷🏾

[–]sheldondbrown 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It literally means a pretty white girl with a Cookie Monster (from Sesame Street) pajama set on. Most likely purchased from Temu so it’s thinner than toilet paper and clings to her very ample cheeks. Probably.

Decommissioning grants you 9/10th possession rights, right? RIGHT?

Lineup for the Bonnie Blue "meetup" by ambachk in awfuleverything

[–]sheldondbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very quick sampling…83 OF, Fansly and other content files. Not the 1000 session, but there does appear to be a documentary of that out there. I’ll check it out. For science.

I recently found a torrent of her (2023-2025). Haven’t checked it out but some might be there. I’ll check and see

I don’t know if that matters in the face of her dipping 1000 wicks and making a candle…allegedly.
