@decryption yes. have grabbed GFX sample files online a few times and been blown away by the quality. Was working in cameras when the first GFX dropped. Incredible shit.

    @decryption A little update — the 2012 series Suzuki Swift Sport is currently at the top of my list. In my budget, fun to drive at sensible speeds, cheap to service and insure, enough of them for sale to shop around and get a decent deal.

    Need to make a little log of some kind on all the research I'm doing haha.

    jac_kie_co,
    @jac_kie_co@aus.social avatar

    @decryption Yeah totally. I'd be eager to look after it at that level, but not knowing how it was looked after before I got it would be the dealbreaker. Worst case scenario with them is just too risky I think. I think something that size would be great though

    @decryption Pretty awful reliability stories on used Polos, but that might be the right kind of car to look for

    @decryption have been looking at volts! if only there were some in AU without the awful white interior parts. Looks so much better in black. One of the better range exender hybrids from the videos I’ve watched

    @decryption had been considering an EV on a novated lease, but it'll make things tricky also getting a mortgage for a home around the same time so buying something cash would make more sense

    ultimately just want a sub-$10k car that doesn't cost much to refuel or service that's fun to drive and isn't a pain on the highway! is that too much to ask!

    Was thinking maybe an early 00's Corolla Sportivo with the 144kw engine that redlines at 8k that only came with a 6spd, but most of them have been modified heavily so that's a no go.

    Looked at the Volt for a bit but servicing is a bit of a grey area and they're all $16k minimum so would need to really bank on saving money on fuel.

    Maybe a used SP23 Mazda with the manual... but most examples are pretty worn out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Idk, but whatever I do end up with it'll be very heavily researched lol

    jac_kie_co,
    @jac_kie_co@aus.social avatar

    @decryption ok ok, I’ll stretch to $15k ha. But it’s still tough!

    Shucked my first hard drive on the weekend! Had a 10TB Western Digital desktop drive sitting around, so popped it in my 8-bay QNAP DAS while installing a 2TB SATA SSD that arrived this week.

    Now have 4x 10TB ex-server drives in RAID5 for plex and archives, the shucked 10TB with APFS for daily CCC backups of my work machine, and the 2TB SSD for my iCloud Photo Library. Prettttty goood. Pretty, pretty, pretttttty gooooood.

    I've finally gotten around to trying out Tailscale after @decryption dropped many hints about its awesomeness. He wasn't wrong!

    Access to all your devices from all your devices is quite the game changer. Also means I may be able to dump a few paid services that give me remote access (Home Assistant's Nabu Casa and Octoprint Everywhere), though I may keep Nabu Casa just to support them.

    Super easy to get set up and not nearly as complicated as I initially feared.

    @decryption is there a colourful “hello” that’s flat and not faux 3d? Otherwise looks perfect!

    ahh here we go - $50 to keep going - not a subscription so that’s alright. I can’t find anything better to be honest and building my own seems like a rabbit hole I don’t need, so I’m gonna buy it

    @decryption definitely hit up the “report a problem” refund form. I have a pretty good success rate with BS third party app pricing. Almost never get a refund on any apple service charges though. Gotta get that services revenue up I guess.

    @decryption +1 on the 65” C845 TCL, bought one last year for a similar price and have been very impressed with it. Quelled my OLED TV pining without breaking the bank.

    jac_kie_co,
    @jac_kie_co@aus.social avatar

    @decryption I think that’s the one LTT imported and did some videos on. Honestly, wouldn’t be a bad way to go. And way less finicky than a projector setup I’d imagine.

    jac_kie_co,
    @jac_kie_co@aus.social avatar

    @decryption and SO bright! So much TV for the money. If I had to replace it tomorrow I’d get the exact same model, maybe just bigger.

    My little holiday project! Added short text-only entries to the home page of https://blog.wolfjay.com

    I wanted something that could sit in-between posting on twitter or mastodon, and a longer self-hosted blog post. Like little notes in the margins of my longer pieces.

    What do you do when you want to use your old iPhone for continuity camera, but also use a Xiaomi LED monitor lamp? *and are on a budget

    Cable tie your iPhone to the monitor bar, add a broken toilet roll holder so it stays in place, and strap a can of beans to its mount to counter balance lmao
