Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

Also, not all races are contested by both Democrats and Republicans. Sometimes the third party is the only one running for a position, sometimes it’s just one third party vs the Republican.

Local races are significantly different.

Because no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.

I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.

I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

That’s half the plot of Armageddon (1998)

The mechanical iris was a later addition, before that there was a stone cover. Without either anyone can come through from the other side.

A little irresponsible leaving it unguarded with the iris open.

it’s much harder to prove because the official acts part also includes all the evidence and testimony needed to prosecute.

So if you can’t use evidence from official communication to prove that the treason happened. That makes the prosecution of presidents very difficult. It’s going to be extremely difficult for a prosecution to tell a coherent story to a jury without including any “official” acts as part of the crime.

To be fair, what if the entire skeleton drastically changes once you die? You can’t prove it’s NOT the case without an MRI.

Tho… What if an MRI causes the same changes as death…

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

Let me translate that statement: practical sets dramatically enhanced by CGI, with some, maybe all scenes having majority CGI.

NOTHING is pure practical, and it never was. It’s always enhanced by in camera, or post processing. If it wasn’t, it would look awful.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

Stardew Valley/Concerned Ape has a policy of fixing saves personally.

You misread, I specifically said that Earth doesn’t have enough mass for that.
