The real reason men grow beards
  • Exactly. My lazy ass shaves every 2 to 3 weeks when it starts itching. In the summertime more often since a beard sucks when you try to wipe your sweat off....

    I copied 2TB of data on an exfat disk from a dying Mac. Then on Windows this data is (almost) missing
  • Not sure about mac drives but I'd rather do a bit-for-bit image from the drive if possible and work from there. If you find some data has been missing from a regular copy attempt you still can resort tot the image to extraxt it from there.

    An attack of the vapours: Tennessee bill endorses chemtrails conspiracy theory
  • So... I haven't read the bill, but would that mean that flying, emergancy landings, driving and breathing would be illegal?!

    I mean flying, driving and breathing produces CO2 and to do an emergency landing you have to dump fuel....

    Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft has crashed into the Moon, Roscosmos says
  • Although Russia can go kick rocks and gargle some deseased old mans balls for invading Ukraine, it still sucks that they crashed the lander. On the other hand, I kinda hope for some sort of new space race where hopefully something good comes around, not just the old nukes-in-space shit...

  • Hi!

    Originally, I just wanted advice for an NAS to host my videos and tv-series I aquired in the last couple years but whilst researching, I found a couple things that I think are neat, but have no idea how to start.

    First things first: I wanted originally a QNAP TS-364 to host my movie/series collection to consolidate everything and don't have to switch between drives any more. After finding this community, I'm toying around with the idea that I could build something myself, and use it to fix some things I want to fix some time now.

    But for this task, I could use some help/advice to where to start, hardware, software, the works.

    For latency / up- & downloadspeed, I'd like to have the server at home, fairly quiet, low power consumption and able to "stream" everything (movies / series) over LAN to my TV(s) or PC, maybe music to my mobile sometime in the future.

    I'd like to use pi-hole for adblocking, host some non-media-files to get rid of Dropbox but keep its funcitonality to sync these files between two/three physical locations, including one mobile device (android) and sync passwords for my accounts. I guess a VPN for syncing would be benefitial.

    In the future, I may want to add a usenet downloader but I'm not sure about that. Also, i just flew over the "awesome-selfhosted software" resource and my mind is kinda blown, so I may want to add some software to the list later.

    Storage requirements: currently at least 12TB for media, upgradeable, no RAID needed ATM, JBOD would suffice but you never know.

    To cut to the chase:

    • What hardware would you suggest? Off the shelf or DIY (I'm no stranger to building PCs and installing OSes. (Bonus points if sub 250 Euro without storage)
    • What OS would you recommend?
    • What software would you recommend?

    Thanks in advance Andy

    While technically POSSIBLE, how viable is it to run Adobe apps, especially Premiere and After Effects, on Linux
  • I thought about dualboot using two SSDs, one for linux, one for Windows and a VM on linux using the physical Windows SSD. Don't know if it is really possible though...
