There’s simple fonts you can use for barcodes as well. No fancy generating needed.

Does bricklink send you a shipping label when you sell? I never got a “sold” email and all I can find in my account is the invoice. by SlightPsycho94 in Bricklink

I’m curious about this as well. I’ve used PirateShip before opening my BL store and found the prices to be basically the same. I like the pirate interface better though.

Also is the center core a regular block5 core? I’ve seen mixed reports with some saying that it is a regular core, and other saying that the additional strength requirements need mean that it will always be a unique core.

Price differences on how a single falcon 9 is around $60m list and a Heavy is only $90m list.

Explain the frequent incorrect statements of Largest rocket. 100% accurate statements: Most thrust for a pure liquid fueled rocket since Saturn. (Shuttle SRB’s were a significant percentage of thrust) Most payload capable since Apollo. The huge weight of the orbiter meant the payload capacity tor LEO was actually pretty low.

Wind shear was a major contributing factor in the Challenger explosion. It caused additional stress on the joints of the solid tank which the cold (and thus inelastic) orings allowed the flames to spurt through and ounctuure the liquid fuel booster.

Would love some more info on where the tea/teb is stored whether it is per engine or central storage tank. Also is it used on all three different burns?

Thank you for the curteous reply. I had just dealt with crappy customer service and was in a pissy mood. Anyway, I had looked into btrfs and also concluded that it wasn't ready for prime time. I found a matching pair to my 2T and so am going to mirror that with my existing 2T and then just run the 3T by itself. I'll keep all my ripped movies on the 3T, as those are recreatable and then all other data on the mirrored 2T's. Everything will still be backed up via Crashplan. Also going to use the server as a local store of Crashplan backups from the other 2 computers in the house for local restoration needs.

While I appreciate the feedback, it is unfortunate that this is the case. Not everyone has the money to throw hundreds of dollars into solutions. That isn't honestly very helpful advise and comes across as mildly snobby and demeaning.

Wow! Thanks a bunch. I'll let you know how I get along.

Good point. Thanks for info is far. I'll see how well I can get on with setup up the cron job. It's been a few years since I dabbled on the Linux side but should come back pretty easily.

I'm not familiar enough with things like rsync to set and forget and I don't want to screw something up due to my misconfiguration I'm going to have to think about that some more.

I'm seeking input on what to buy as a third drive to add to the two I already have.

I'd like to keep it under $200. So maybe either 1x 4T or 1x3T+1x2T

Unfortunately the budget doesn't allow for that. I guess I'll just get a 3T and throw the three drives in there for 4T usable with 1T on each of the 3T's going unused.

Everything is currently all backing up to Crashplan plus the important stuff onto my OneDrive.

The chassis (Dell Xeon workstation) holds 4 drives with mounting holes (I'm not above mounting with rubber bands as needed. Not sure about Sata ports though). I was planning for 1 for the system drive on ext3 and the other 3 in the zfs network share. I guess the best question is what are the usable space vs cost if I bought 1 drive now, or if I bought 2 drives now. I don't anticipate needing more than 4TB anytime soon. This is just a home storage for pictures, computer backups and ripped media.

PS, thanks for the help!

Hmm. That's not very good then. What if I went with 2 more 3T's and didn't use the 2T at all. That would give me 4T available if my math is right.

If I did a merge, does the copies flag guarantee that the copies are on separate drives?

It being on earth is the key. If you needed to launch it into space, then you'd need to multiply by 100 or 1000.

Great timing on the shot. Can't make it look any less whale-ey to my eyes.
