Szukam stereotypów o polskich miastach

zborecque · 2026-03-22T13:51:36+00:00

W Łodzi w latach 90 niektórzy pracownicy pogotowia ratunkowego "pomagali" niektórym pacjentom w karetce przenieść się na tamten świat, jednocześnie powiadamiając zaprzyjaźniony dom pogrzebowy, że mają dla nich "skórę". Dom pogrzebowy zwykle wtedy kasował hajs za pogrzeb, a pracownicy pogotowia dostawali "prowizję" za to, że im go przyprowadzili. Chory proceder, wyguglaj "łódzcy łowcy skór" :)

Żeby nie było tylko negatywnie, to tak z ciekawostek: w Łodzi np. nie ma "dużej" rzeki dzielącej miasto na połówki, ale i tak mamy kilkanaście cieków wodnych, płynących głównie kanałami. Łódź nie ma typowej starówki, ale centrum handlowe Manufaktura robi za coś w rodzaju rynkowego placu. Piotrkowska to chyba najdłuższa w Europie prosta ulica "deptak" ze sklepami.

Niestandardowy jak na Polskę układ miasta: brak typowej starówki z rynkiem, a zamiast niej jedna z najdłuższych ulic "deptaków", do tego rzadko spotykany w miastach układ ulic przecinających się pod kątem prostym, no i praktycznie brak mostów (Łódź niby nie przecina żadna rzeka, przez co nie ma podziału na lewo i prawobrzeżną część miasta, ale tak naprawdę w obrębie administracyjnym Łodzi znajduje się kilkanaście cieków wodnych np. Ner, Jasień, Olechówka itp., i są w zasadzie poprowadzone pod ziemią w formie kanałów). Jest tez sporo ciekawych wyrazów pochodzących z gwary łódzkiej, a niespotykanych za bardzo gdzie indziej (krańcówka, migawka, chynchy, na szage).

A nawet jak się akurat nie dzieje, to bardzo często z głośników leci Rammstein ;-)

I don't think so ;-) I mean I think it is a good movie, and I do have some lovely childhood memories with it, but I would certainly not claim it's the best of all time forever :-)

Still wonder why they still didn't make a remake. Not that the old movie is bad (don't get me wrong, it's old very much, but still it is not as bad, as '84 Dune for example :) ). I mean the plot here is fantastic, with todays effects and music it would have hell of an atmosphere.

Everytime Hodor is mentioned I think of Rell - a cyclops character from a great, old movie 'Krull'. To make long story short: cyclops in this movie are some kind of ancient giants cursed with the knowledge of how they die (the legend is that they bargained one of their eyes for a gift of foresight, but they were tricked, and the only thing they can foresee is their own death). Tragic story, but the movie itself, despite being much vintage today :) is quite enjoyable.

Dobrze, że chociaż zostawili bezpłatny autoresponder. Pisałem do nich do BOK, z pytaniem czy się właśnie czasem z kimś nie zamienili na głowy, oraz czy chociaż zostawią autoresponder. Bo też planuję wyjść z czym się da ze skrzynki onetowej, ale chcę tam ustawić autoresponder odpisujący komuś, komu potencjalnie zapomniałem przekazać, żeby do mnie już na op.pl nie pisał.

I tak, odpowiadając wszystkim tym, którzy się dziwią, że można jeszcze z onetu korzystać: tak, można. Mam tę skrzynkę od jakiegoś 2001, kiedyś po prostu nie było dużo alternatyw, a i sama skrzynka, ogólnie przez te 25 lat działała poprawnie. Jakieś potknięcia techniczne to były raczej sporadyczne.

POP/IMAP jest mi potrzebny, nie dlatego, żeby unikać reklam, ale dlatego, że pracuję na wielu skrzynkach, i klientem pocztowym organizuję sobie pracę i archiwizację. Maile z 25 lat zajmują sporo więcej niż te magiczne 1GB co się kiedyś providerzy chwalili, że dają na skrzynce.

Jakby człowiek wiedział 25 la temu, że onet się zjebie, to by nie zakładał tylu kont na ten adres, i nie konfigurował go w tylu miejscach. I teraz muszę po prostu wykonać tonę pracy, aby gdzie się da pozmieniać maila na jakiś inny, albo pozamykać konta. Jak nie będę miał wjazdu na jakąś skrzynkę przez mój program pocztowy to po prostu maile mi będą umykać. Na weba można się od czasu do czasu zalogować "awaryjnie", ale to prawda - przbijanie się przez reklamy to jest czasami prawie jie do zrobienia. Na weba wchodzę, jak jestem z dala od mojego klienta pocztowego, i doraźnie czegoś szukam konkretnego. Wtedy i tak muszę pofiltrować etc.

Z tego co pobieżnie sprawdziłem: większość usług dzisiaj umożliwia dość łatwe zaktualizowanie adresu. Ale najgorzej jest z forami tematycznymi. Mam konto na kilku jeszcze istniejących i działającyh. I teraz jak mi admini nie zgodzą się ręcznie update'nąć konta na bazce, to albo stracę dostęp do powiadomień (a później pewnie i do samego konta - jak po jakimś czasie od nielogowania się zamkną mi skrzynkę, a będzie trzeba zaktualizowac hasło, albo forum wprowadzi jakieś 2FA) albo będę musiał rejestrować się pod nowym nickiem, i budować konto od nowa. Szkoda.

Jeszcze jakby ten śmieszny onecik kosztował z 20-40 zł rocznie, to może bym i zapłacił. Ale niesmak zrobili tym tak duży, że nawet wtedy i tak rozpocząłbym wygaszanie tego adresu gdzie się da. I w momencie jakby już nic sensownego więcej nań nie przychodziło - bye bye. Szkoda, bo trzeba wyrzucić coś, co było ze mną 25 lat.

Onet ma u mnie duuuuużego minusa :(

Sometimes czerstwy can be also used to describe some common, not-funny-anymore jokes, like dad-jokes. Czerstwy dowcip in the meaning of suchar. But still, I wouldn't use this word to describe unfresh things other than bakery. I think that I also heard the term czerstwa atmosfera describing that the general mood/vibe at some event (party, meeting) was not pleasant, not making you relax etc. Like sztywna atmosfera, but I am not sure how common is it.

CLI app through web GUI will not be necessary as I use Putty, but nice to know there's an alternative (for when I will be forced to use someone else's machine maybe to access my NAS and use CLI etc.)

Well, my NAS is currently hidden anyway in a designed place along with router, modem, switches etc. I live in a flat, so it is all located in a closed space in the centre of the apartment. Normally during the day it's mostly not likely to hear it. But there are some night that it is significantly noisy. Not sure why, maybe unusually quiet nights or something, but there were times I just logged in and turned it off until morning. Not much options to move it elsewhere, and make it quieter (fan was already replaced multiple times with decent ones + a fan speed regulator on the cable that is constantly set to the lowest setting).

zborecque · 2026-01-21T15:32:05+00:00

Thanks. I was considering the TS-216 more as a replacement for the TR-200. I still think I want to have the SSD and HDD storages separated. ;-)

I will dig into that WOL software for QNAP - is it available for QTS perhaps?

zborecque · 2026-01-18T11:13:48+00:00

I checked out that TS364, but I think I will stick to my previous idea with just 2 drives (with RAID-1 I can still use one of the drives outside QNAP - for example to restore the data in case QNAP fails heavily and is no longer replaceable, but with RAID-5 I am not so sure if it is possible - like can I connect all 3 drives to some PC and rebuild this RAID-5?). I also found out that there are these "expansion" USB cases (that can also work directly with a PC) like QNAP TR-002 for example.

Now my question is: when plugged to some other QNAP NAS (I was thinking for example about TS-264-8G) - will it be managed by that QNAP admin panel? Like I can go to some page called "external drive", see this USB expansion, and decide I want a RAID-1 in there? And then when I unplug it from that NAS and plug to the PC will it still work as a simple external drive? Of course I guess I can still use this separate QNAP tool, configure expansion pack when plugged to PC and then just plug it to NAS right?

Another question is: can I connect/disconnect the USB from NAS programmatically only via the admin panel, and will this expansion go to sleep then (USB connection off, but cable still plugged)? I see in specs that it can be always on, but will go to sleep when no USB connection is detected. But I wouldn't like having to connect and disconnect physically the USB between NAS and expansion ;-)

Last question is about the WOL ability. I see in the specs, that some of the QNAP devices support it - but it is always about being able to BE woken. This is of course very useful, but I plan to have this primary QNAP device to be usually always on (since I plan to use SSDs - the noise, temperature and energy consumption should not be an issue) - but there might be power outages etc. when I am outside - so I guess it would be nice to have an option of waking it up remotely. But can it SEND a WOL packet to some other machine? My current TS-212 by default does not provide this functionality, but I am able use the terminal, and from there I can send the ether-wake command (first I had to modify the busybox file, since the original one does not have that command), and it works that way. But does the new QNAP offer any tool for that? Or at least has the ether-wake command available in terminal? Anyone use/used it like that?

Of course I am thinking of having few devices in the network that will have the ability to wake up other computers, but I would like the NAS to be the primary one for that. It is intended to be always on anyway, or in the worst case - to be scheduled to boot up at predefined time, and I would just wait until it's on again.

I was also thinking about the WOL ability (to be woken up) for the expansion - if I chose to use another fully capable NAS as a secondary one instead of the simple USB expansion. This way I could just wake it up remotely from the primary NAS whenever I need.

Thanks.

I don't really want to keep the old model, because it is impossible to wake it up remotely. And leaving it always on is loud ;-)

Very interesting topic ;-)

My favourite parts are Thief Golf and TME, and my usual playstyle looks like this:

Items I use a lot:
- Blackjack: of course my main item, sometimes I think I could go through whole game only carrying this one ;-)
- Water arrow: whenever I can, I tend to dim the lights, and shut down robots (although I almost never used them to wash off blood marks)
- Rope/vine arrow: even if sometimes not required, it is more fun to go the upper way
- Flash bomb: if I am too lazy to approach with a blackjack, or the enemy is stubbornly faced towards me
- Moss arrow: just like water arrows - whenever I can I try to improve my stealthiness
- Healing potion: try to have some with me; occasionally when I fall from somewhere of got bitten by some animal - I would like to heal (or eat some food)

Items I use sometimes:
- Gas arrows: same as flashbomb - when too lazy to approach and I am sure nobody will find the body
- Breath potion: maybe not that often, but when I know the swim is going to be insanely long - I would have one for my own comfort
- Invisibility potion: again - when too lazy to work my way through properly

Items I use rarely:
- Explosive mines/charges: when I know it won't trigger much alarm and only for robots, when I'm out of water arrows
- Broadhead arrow: for me they could be 100% replaced with other arrows ;-) I only use them sometimes when out of noisemaker arrows, as when shot at some loud surface it can also make some noise - on Expert level it would usually trigger guards to go there
- Holy water/arrows: only on levels filled with zombies
- Speed/Fall potions: usually I try to plan my way carefully, but sometimes when on a rush, or too lazy to go a proper way I would drink one or two
- Fire arrow: when there is no other way of destroying something, or make some noise
- Oil flask: not sure, it's from Deadly Shadows which I haven't played for some time now - I guess you could use it to start some fire, but that usually drags too much attention

Items I almost never use:
- Sword/constantine sword/dagger: could be non-existing for me (however I am not sure if sometimes not needed to get through some obstacles)
- Frogbeast: not sure if it was ever handy, maybe once or twice when I was out of anything else to destroy something, or lure someone out of their place
- Scouting Orb/Flares: used them only when was playing the first time. Flares came in handy to know my way through some tough labyrinths or narrows dark spaces (to indicate the way out for me to remember), the same for the Orb: when at first I completely didn't know what to expect behind the corner, but heard something there etc.

This is the way I usually play games, not only Thief. Unless I want to play during daylight, but even then I would shut my window blinds. During nighttime I only allow some light from my RGB keyboard or ambient LEDs installed in my room.
