Obligatory "TrueNAS is free " comment

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Thats is a very budget-friendly choice for UnRAID to accept varying drive sizes. As a backup destination, especially a cold backup, the RAM requirements of ZFS should be less impactful. I had lots of use from my TrueNAS box with 16GB, and my dedicated cold backup build is just 8GB on 5x1TB WD Blue (gasp!) HDDs. I always wanted to try other NAS platforms, but I’m away from all my tech for a few years.

Don’t need or want a hosted password manager when I use Keepass.

Been using simple logon for about five new aliases a month, but can easily move to a duck email (or a competing service) since I don’t have a use-case for custom domain. I will keep using SL the way I do until I’m told I can’t though. RN I like some features of SL over DDG slightly more. I like creating custom aliases rather than accepting the fully obfuscated DDG ones, but the tracker removal of DDG is a bonus. Meh.

If they take what I want away, I’ll use a different service. I’m not using Proton Mail to get locked into anything. I used it to move away from vendor lock-in. Its the last thing I want after working so long to migrate away from almost fifteen years of Google. I’m willing to pay for my independence, but I’m in no hurry to be a captive user.

And nothing at all changed to prevent it from happening again…

Looks to me like you got (temp) banned for posting apparent incel comments in a hateful way. Not to mention your advice was exactly what the OP said they were avoiding from their own friends.

Perhaps reading the room is a good start before you click reply. Doubling down when called out for hateful comments will rarely go well, and defaulting to name calling and reducing well-received advice to a “lib salad” (whatever that means) won’t either. Perhaps stop behaving like the internet is some place where manners and respect are optional, and you’ll feel more welcome wherever you go.

I’m not trying to call you out or rehash that relationship advice here, only pointing out that you can disagree with people politely if you truly do desire respectful discourse. I hope you reflect on the ban and the comments replied to you. The world needs fewer, not more hateful incels or “alpha males.”

Not temporary.

No interest in engaging with you further. Good luck, comrade.

Yes! I imported 23k media files into a new platform, and the takeout process was such a pain. My destination was built to handle the zipped or unzipped media, but occasionally issues cropped up,like when files spanned archives but the json was on the previous one. That resulted in orphaned files with upload dates instead of date taken.

Ultimately, I think I had the best experience extracting all 123GB and uploading the albums/folders that way.

Would have been SO much easier with an API that allowed cloud to cloud.

You just haven’t met anyone like my partner. She pauses movies and TV to point out how my neck “is sexier” than the actor’s. “Yours isn’t little and thin like his.”

“Thanks!”

She is definitely obsessed. Maybe not a fetish, but certainly a point of interest.

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Yes, I’m clueless with regard to others liking or noticing me. My partner sees it and points it out for my benefit. Usually with, “Poor man, never knew he was hot until he met me!”

Everyone should be so lucky to be adored like I am now by my partner. And for things like, “your hands are perfect!”

“They… are? Thanks!”

This comment seems to imply that at least some titles won’t function after the delisting, perhaps related to servers, perhaps not.

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Thanks for the reply.

This is the drive I picked up. It’s a bog standard tiny M.2 drive that will fit in my laptop.

I have my controller set to AHCI mode. The drive is seen, as I can install MX Linux or Mint to it, but it won’t boot. Same with Clonezilla or dd, which can see the drive just fine to copy data to it. The option to boot from PCIe/M.2 is enabled. Toggling it changes nothing in any case.

When I press F9 for boot options after removing the 2.5" SSD, I can see the boot option named as “MX23” or “Mint” (depending on which I’ve just installed or cloned), but selecting it does nothing, unfortunately.

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Thanks for that insight. The hard thing is that getting things from Amazon or other web stores in Central America where I live is not easy. I ordered this drive in November and received it two weeks ago. I was sure it would work, as my G3 laptop came from the factory with a M.2 Kingston drive, so I assumed NVME was a no-brainer.

The real kicker is that this was planned as a gift to my partner who has the same laptop, but with a Toshiba HDD. Boot time >2 min, vs 17s on my SSD, and even faster (theoretically) on this M.2. Sigh… poor prep on my part.

Thanks again for the kind help. I had no idea.

I may go down that road, but the main push was to remove the almost ten year old platter based magnetic drive. Maybe I’ll look into placing the ESP on a flash drive until I have a better solution. Bummer. This secret upgrade to breathe new life into my partner’s laptop isn’t going well at all.

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

I’ll do some research on this front to see what I find. Thanks

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

I think tlp-ui can do this, but only on specific devices. IIRC, you set the charging thresholds in such a way that the battery will not charge. For example, configure to prevent charging until below 40% and as long as the battery is above that threshold, no charging should take place.

However, this likely means that as soon as your device goes to sleep or powers off, the battery begins charging again.

Same

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Have you tried this?

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

Now I want to try it…

s38b35M5, 2 months ago

It worked for me without problem.

I think you entered the word “protondrive” instead of the number that corresponds to that remote type.

<span style="color:#323232;">54 / Zoho
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    (zoho)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">55 / premiumize.me

</span><span style="color:#323232;">Storage> 40
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#This is where you need to enter the number, not the string name of the remote type
</span>

My version is slightly newer than yours, but I think this should still work

<span style="color:#323232;">rclone version

So give it another try, and I think you should have the same success as me

Oh…

I saw what I interpreted as a failing condition and assumed.

It turns out the card doesn’t display any video during POST in this slot.
