This is normal, nothing to see here… except these wonderful ads!! - YouTube

Fan anyone that is to short, ducks have a corkscrew-shaped penis.

Its like going to the local cinema, ads before the movie.

Are you using musicbrainz picard to tag your collection, or something more manual?

But how else will I be able to market and sell my cancer treatments/drugs? /s

Just ran this on my entire music library of 73000+ songs. Worked like a charm.

Found the DHD, covered by some shrubs.

Something similar was done in Japan for walking and texting (or looking at your phone screen). Makes sense the same would translate to all modes of transportation including cars.

Though, jail time may be a little harse for communicating with people over a phone.

Got to love that double D

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?

Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

I hate building playlists, Plex offers a few different options like sonic sage, sonic adventure, artist mix builder, and automatic mixes based on past listening history.

Jokes on you, in most cases I deploy in 2-3 seconds.

Look into Rufus, it will help you create a bootable USB with windows 11 and you can use it to do a upgrade or clean install from your windows 10 installation (clean install preferred IMO), it will even help bypass the hardware requirements and you can even remove the email account and use a local account. Make sure to use or write down your windows 10 activation/license for a clean install.

That being said you could potentially still run the old wondows OS, but as time goes on new exploits could be found that can compromise the OS. If its behind a firewall such as your router its safer, but there is still the possibility of it being infected way off into the future.

Here is a video of windows XP running on a PC connected directly to the internet with no firewall. Its infected almost instantaneously. (Dont try this at home).

Can I get this shipped to my house? Or do I need Amazon Prime?

The one upside to a dedicated streaming box is the guaranteed security updates.

Netflix for example may choose to support the app on your fire stick or nvidia shield for a longer time then on a specific TV.

I do appreciat the fact that sony TVs have native android, the TV menues are also more intuative IMO

Though regardless of the TVs OS, its best to not plug a TV directly into the internet. If you can afford it, get a dedicated android box, fire stick, or any other smart dongle you can afford.

TVs, your kitchen fridge, or even cars now seem to be a privacy nightmare. Updates also dont happen often enough or the manufacture chooses to drop support leaving consumers home networks at risk.

What if you take the red pill and its just another simulation?

I would recommended people watch Pantheon on AMC. Two great seasons and it dives into some interesting “are we living in a simulation questions”.

Ding ding ding

Streaming is the new cable, just more expensive now. Each platform is like a bundle of TV channels.

Comes down to personal preferences really. Personally I have been running truenas since the freebsd days and its always been on bare metal. There would be no reason you could not virtualize it, and I have seen it done.

I do run a pfsense virtualized on my proxmox VM machine. It runs great once I figured out all the hardware pass through settings. I do the same with GPU pass through for a retro gaming machine on the same proxmox machine.

The only thing I dont like is that when you reboot your proxmox machine the PCI devices dont retain their mapping ids. So a PCI NIC card I have in the machine causes the pfsense machine not to start.

The one thing to take into account with Unraid vs TrueNAS is the difference between how they do RAID. Unraid always drives of different sizes in its setup, but it does not provide the same redundancy as TrueNAS. Truenas requires disk be the same size inside a vdev, but you can have multiple vdevs in one large pool. One vdev can be 5 drives of 10tb and the other vdev can be 5 drives of 2tb. You can always swap any drive in truenas with a larger drive, but it will only be as big as the smallest disk in the vdev.

Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz with 16gb ram 165TB of storage. Motherboard is a Asus Delux 10+ years old. And a 10gb NIC. All inside a fractal Design XL case.

The hardware is by all means not top of the line, but you dont need much for a NAS.
