You said you added the Tailscale network, but how wide did you go? By default when you load the plugin and activate the interface, it just gives its own IP as the network (/32). If you added that, then only traffic with that specific origin will hit your route. It's crazy, but for my firewall rules (not routing) to work, I had to define the network as a 100.0.0.0/8, which is gigantic. You may have to do that with the route as you can't otherwise set the gateway on the interface as it's not hosting the DHCP server.

Thank you. I do try and take it that way. I was mostly joking and dovetailing it with our trope to overthink social situations.

Yeah, I need to do this. I wonder if it matters.

 

The ad has this person sitting in his room talking about how frustrating it is to have a low-to-no productivity day and how he has made this revolutionary discovery that it has to do with his executive function 🙄. He continues to briefly explain his solution but not before INSERTING HIS ENTIRE LAPEL MIC INTO HIS MOUTH and then apologizing and blaming his lack of control over his executive functions.

He doesn't specifically mention ADHD, but especially with the highlighting of Executive Function stuff, I think it's meant to target us. The combination of the "lol so random -- squirrel!!" trope and the claim that it solved all of his problems feels very reductive. Usually, I am not one to get triggered by people misunderstanding ADHD, common-knowledge/media has done us dirty, but this is a planned advertisement and I think it should be held to a higher standard.

Personally, one of my fixations are planners and organizing solutions, so this ad may have actually interested me before they resorted to stereotype. Pretty fucking aggravating.

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestion that I shouldn't be seeing Ads in the first place if I was living my life right, ha. Trust that I know what Ad-Block is and what DNS-filtering is. The point is that I managed to get this Ad and that it left a poor taste in my mouth.

I am still trying to figure out if calling me {my name}-ipedia was purely in jest or if they secretly hate my voice, face and presence. You know, just a tuesday.

Damn no reason for you to get on here and call me out so directly. Also I still have wobbly windows and the modern version of desklets. No shame.

Hunters. You hate hunters. Hunters are the worst. Like good on the devs for making a low-tier enemy that challenges a player when they swarm or if the player turns their back on them, but at the same time, fuck hunters.

My family and I really like it. I invested in a small, physical scanner capable of network file sharing that we have plugged in and always ready to scan. When we get documents or receipts, we scan them and they're immediately added to the database. I also have it checking an email address (mine is custom, but you could really have it check any address) and any time a PDF or such is sent, it gets consumed and that email them gets sorted.

There are a few downsides, however. As mentioned in other posts, turning your physical stack of documents into a digital stack of documents is just trading one pile for another. At least with a digital pile, you can sort a little quicker, but you still have to sort the consumed documents and check them to make sure the engine, which is supposed to be learning, has elected to sort the documents correctly.

The compose stack is pretty easy to use, but it does benefit from a little knowledge in Docker/containers. Especially when the main container decides it's not healthy. I wouldn't recommend it to a first time Docker user, is all.

Additionally and also previously mentioned, if you're keeping important documents in it, encrypted storage with encrypted back up is important.

Adding on to this:

These are all great points, but I wanted to share something that I wish I'd known before I spun up my array... The configuration of your array matters a lot. I had originally chosen to use RAIDZ1 as it's the most efficient with capacity while still offering a little fault tolerance. This was a mistake, but in my defense, the hard data on this really wasn't distributed until long after I had moved my large (for me) dataset to the array. I really wish I had gone with a Striped Mirror configuration. The benefits are pretty overwhelming:

  • Performance is better than even RAIDZ2, especially as individual disk size increases.
  • Fault tolerance is better as you could have up to 50% of the disks fail, so long as one disk in a mirrored set remains functional.
  • Fault recovery is better. With traditional arrays with distributed chunks, you have to resilver (rebuild) the entire array, requiring more time, costing performance and shortening the life of the unaffected drives.
  • You can stripe mismatched sets of mirrored drives, so long as the mirrored set is identical, without having the array default to the size of the smallest member. This allows you to grow your array more organically, rather than having to replace every drive, one at a time, resilvering after each change.

Yes, you pay for these gains with less usable space, but platter drives are getting cheaper and cheaper, the trade seems more worth it than ever. Oh and I realize that it wasn't obvious, but I am still using ZFS to manage the array, just not in a RAIDZn configuration.

Where we're going, we don't need have fuses.

[–] BobsAccountant 2 points 2 years ago

It was the former. This unit had 8 12v batteries VERY snuggly placed within it. I didn't pay attention to all the leads and their locations when dissembling the old batteries. I'm professional IT and hubris was nearly the end of me.

 

I see this as an absolute win. Be careful, folks. Just because it's DC doesn't mean it won't cause serious damage.

Edit for Clarification: When done correctly, the batteries should not arc. My problem is I did not wire the array correctly the first and a-hem second times. It only cost me one battery, which is a lot cheaper than a trip to an American ER.
