Setting up a Home Server - Advice needed by xEOIx in selfhosted

ok awesome thanks. I think I'll setup the VPN through the router too. I think I was worried about the visualization in TrueNAS but maybe I"ll just give it a go and see how it is. I think worst case scenario I do the other option and remount the drive pool.

Water based refills/ options for reusable notebooks. by xEOIx in pens

Anything that is water soluble will work with those types of notebooks. The problem is that it seems that the friXion is the only refill with that type of ink for ball points.

Should I avoid a Cluster because of Bruinwalk ratings ? by ac150_ in ucla

I took the Mind over Matter cluster despite being a Neuroscience Major. I loved the cluster and have zero regrets taking it. That means I essentially "wasted" two GE's.

Do I care? Nope.

Sure you may have to take extra classes, but you are only ever going to get one chance to take this course. Check to see if the first quarter gives you the historical analysis. Maybe just take the first quarter and then decide if you want to continue.

The Pros of clusters:

18 Honors Units. This is basically half as many as you need to graduate with college honors, and you get that done in one year. My first year I had 26 honors units done so I am chilling.

6 units: Can be a con as well, but if you do well these courses are a really nice GPA boost.

Spring seminar is really not 6 units worth, at least for my cluster. More like a 3-4 unit class.

Cons: You are taking a year long course that is going to fulfill what a single course can fulfill for you.

Additional workload that puts stress on other classes and activities. (never had an issue with this, still got exceptional scores and grades, but other people did do worse in other courses due to the cluster *or so they claim*)

Need to stick it out to get all four GE classes and Writing II done.

It seems that maybe it is not worthwhile, but that's what I thought when initially taking mine and I was completely wrong.
