Does anyone have experience with building a NAS for their Mac?
  • Some good options here. I’m a fan of TrueNAS from iX Systems. Very easy to build your own but I’ll admit my last box I just bought their mini and put in my own disks.

    I’d avoid QNAP although they’ll do the job.

    What do you do with a dated iMac?
  • This is a bit bogus. I just retired a 2012 iMac because I needed a new version of macOS to match my other devices. The only thing I ever did to the iMac was replace the original fusion driver with a SATA SSD (Samsung). It ran faster - boot times well under 10 seconds from the Apple chime.

    Replace the HDD with an SSD . Update it to the latest macOS that hardware supports and it will be fine for web, email, basic office duty stuff, if you are sticking to Apple. I could also Bootcamp and run four instances of EVE Online with no issues.

    There are a bunch of other things you can do with it outside of macOS but it really is getting up there in age.

    Desperate or just business as normal?
  • This payout has got to be fractions of a penny per 100 gold or something similar to the low rates artists are paid for Spotify plays or YouTube views.

  • I was not sold on Yuki but I’d like to see him in top tier car. I think we can agree: no way for Danny. I think that would be a bad look.

  • I’m a Redbull and Checo fan so the season has been equal parts ecstatic and not. I’m also a fan of the sport so itself and generally cheer for many drivers/teams.
