I think it is because the EU listened to the people. This is what you get when elected representatives are not bankrolled by big business, and are allowed to enact legislation that doesn’t only benefit one side.

65 l/100km… Holy shit, a Bugatti Veyron running at top speed over 400km/h is consuming 122 l/100km.

That’s insane

I really don’t get it.

I’m still on Xitter, but on my own terms. I use a plugin called Control Panel for Twitter, which means I don’t get anything on my feed other than stuff from those I follow, and what they share, unless they share some bollocks then I will block shares from them. There are a bunch of Hong Kong activists, journalists and fellow HK travelers who don’t use other platforms yet, and I don’t want to get cut off from what’s happening there. There is also good motorsports contributors, who also post on TikTok and IG which I refuse to go near. In addition there are feeds and posters related to my work, some I can’t see anywhere else, then there is some random stuff I can’t see anywhere else.

I don’t have the Xitter app on my phone and use the same Control Panel plugin to ensure my terms of engagement are maintained on mobile. This plugin, for example blocks anyone who paid Xitter for a blue badge, so I don’t see any of their putrid bile in response to those I follow. It also frees you from the “algorithm” that determines what Xitter want’s you to see, I only get a chronological timeline feed. Upsells, ads, who to follow, bookmarks and other random bits of UI I never use are also gone.

Basically, it is exactly how I want the whole Xitter experience with none of elmo’s shit polluting my screen.

Get it now?

Your case has probably got enough spare space that the airflow is good, with all my drive slots filled up I was finding that the temps were getting high, especially during a parity check with everything stressed. So I updated to Noctua PVM fans and used the Dynamix fan control plugin that keeps things nice and cool.

What I love is that with 6 bays, you can potentially get 100 TB usable in that tiny little package if you go for 20TB drives, and you can add them over time, something you could not do with a NAS. The Unraid USP.

My initial setup was an old i3-6100, 500 GB nvme drive cache, and 4x8TB drives from my old NAS. The only extra costs were for the nvme drive, I had an old case as well, and a basic Unraid license, which was $50 I think. Lots of setup guides available, SpaceinvaderOne’s YouTube channel is a good start.

As long as you don’t need any heavy transcoding of media files for Emby/Plex/Jellyfin this spec is fine as a starter.

My current server is an i5-11400, Gigabyte Z590 board and I added 2 14TB drives which meant I had to upgrade my Unraid licence. I also needed a PCI board to cope with the extra sata ports and I got a nice Fractal Node 304 case so it is sitting below my TV. The drives were schucked external drives so not super expensive, total cost about $800 I think. Unraid uses parity disk(s) rather than Raid, one of the 14TB discs is setup as my parity which means my array is 46TB. The onboard UHD Graphics on the i5 can handle transcoding ok.

I run Sonaar/Radaar/Readaar/Lidaar for media, with Prowlaar managing usenet and torrent connections via sabnzbd and deluge, via a VPN.

Rather than a NAS, consider building an Unraid server, I built my first one from old hardware that I repurposed, my current one is a little more sophisticated but not over the top.

Unraid can be setup as an automated media server with all the ARRs running to manage your library.

But 10 years ago when we met it would have been outside that range.

Half my age plus 7 would have been 4.5 years older then her age then. How can it be acceptable now, but not then?

What if half my age plus 7 is 6 months less than my other half’s age? Too close?

Taobao has the same stuff but even cheaper.

My Dell 7560 mobile workstation is powered by USB C when connected to the docking station, which is rated at 230 watt as I recall.

I would ask why op didn’t use IMDb.com or trakt which catalogue every Hollywood movie?

I have a GeForce GTX 970 from 2015 that’s still doing sterling service every day in my recently refreshed HTPC, delivering 4K movies and the occasional game to my 65in Sony OLED TV. My best tech buy ever.

As a boomer, I don’t recall my parents teaching me anything about prejudice, the same at school. The only guidance on prejudice came from my religious education (I’m RC by birth) and to be honest it was completely the opposite to this sentiment. We were taught, for example, that Protestants were evil and that we should never befriend them or trust them.

I stopped going to church when I was about 11, it no longer felt relevant and the teachings were against my own personal beliefs. I had grown up with friends who were of different faiths, Jewish, Protestant, Muslim as well as Catholic, and didn’t consider them to be anything other than buddies.

Some religious teachings have value, but by promoting prejudice as well, the impact is diminished. The only times I have been in church since I was 11 were for weddings and funerals.
