  • Metallica copyright strikes U.S. government

    Jump

  • Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.

    99% of bands didn't make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.

  • It's no contest

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's an interesting difference.

    There was a lot of pop culture references in IT Crowd, all the music posters, the retro computers, etc. but the cast didn't even acknowledge it.

  • Musk melts down as Tesla stock price plunges

    Jump

  • He was calling the cave diver a paedo, which was a weird insult at the time. But it much have just been the projecting.

  • Tesla's sales plummet across Europe

    Jump

  • Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They'll break down in transit!

  • That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They'll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

  • Thats fine if it works for you.

    My comment on all of this was purely that Bitwarden password was a single point of failure. Now we can shift that single point of failure somewhere else!

    I'm not sure what the solution is.

  • Microsoft 365 sees 43% price hike thanks to Copilot — existing customers safe until renewal

    Jump

  • They don't, but by providing a "classic tier" they get to kill anyone's argument against it by saying "just don't get it", until they then discontinue the "classic tier" due to a "lack of demand", and force Office users to have AI and pay for it too.

  • Those who live outside Europe. What are things Europeans are not ready to hear.

  • Weird. I haven't.

  • Opinions about using a mini PC with a HDD enclosure as NAS

    Jump

  • That's weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.

    However it doesn't use it and takes junk (I just used a@b.com which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.

    But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to "downloads" which also has the guide but doesn't appear to require any email.

  • Opinions about using a mini PC with a HDD enclosure as NAS

    Jump

  • I just did a websearch and first result was a download link on their US website too which didn't require registration.

    There seems to be a lot of nonsense on here.

  • Update your DAS? What are you talking about?

    The brand that runs their OS off of a USB stick inside the device

    Are you alright?

  • If you use a reputable brand, such as TerraMaster you'll avoid all of the scare stories you hear.

    Almost everything bad seems to be along the lines of

    I bought "off brand" XzzYyG from Amazon/EBay/Wish and it failed

    Something like this:

    It'll be faster than your spinning rust anyway, as long as you have high speed ports on your mini PC.

  • I've had "trash controllers" in Orico units which rewite the drive details which makes them annoying to work with but I've never heard of

    your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves

    That sounds likes its underpowered and when the draw is up the supply can't handle it, which could happen for internal drives if your supply isn't up to powering enough drives.

    Use a reputable brand like TerraMaster and you'll not have those sorts of problems.

  • Opinions about using a mini PC with a HDD enclosure as NAS

    Jump

  • This is completely untrue.

    You can get plently of performant arrays over USB. You do know how much USB 3.1 or 4 can transmit?

    Enclosures often don’t cool as well so heat may degrade your disks faster as well.

    DAS enclosures can do a great job of cooling by separating and not sharing the air inside a single case.

  • Thats an interesting position.

    I dont keep my credit card information on the load balancer that holds my certs.
