That was they're slogan back in the day.

As mentioned many times I'm sure, I use my rpi's as a pi-hole/VPN. It's nice having them as dedicated devices for low power things, if my main server ever fudges up, my VPN still works and internal DNS is still resolved. If I'm not home and get complaints from the family that jellyfin isn't working, I can either fix it remotely or wake up my dev server for them to use in the meantime.

I also have an rpi 1 as a "dedicated ssh machine" that I can ssh into in case all of my other machines have gone goofy. If for any reason my two main devices aren't accessible, that one will be because if there's power to the house it will turn on. It does literally nothing else, so there's very little chance a power outage will corrupt anything. It does require that the pivpn device is working if I'm not home, but I prefer to leave that to it's own ...devices.

Apu has been largely absent the past few seasons. Now Milhouse/Jimbo will need to be replaced.

Last I heard, Apu was being removed because he's become a stereotype that's reaching into the racism spectrum.

This one gave me the confidence to post my setup, I salute your bravery (°_°)7.

The best of luck with your future insurance claim.

Uggo = uptime

• Old Synology NAS for storage
• Optiplex 7060 running jellyfin, paperless, *arr stack, handbrake, ripper, maybe some other containers.
• NUC5 running nextcloud (nextcloudpi) baremetal and an audiobiokshelf container

I've done similar as well. My work gave me a real hard time with a grocery receipt, because there was a grocery store an easy walk from the hotel and I bought some deodorant or something along with some snacks and sandwich ingredients. It was maybe $30. My choices were don't claim it or recalculate the cost without deodorant including tax from just the deodorant and write a memo detailing what meal(s) I was charging. I Also had to say why I wasn't claiming certain meals (because leftovers, etc., I even had to have a meeting with the refund person because the company putting on the training fed us and I didn't have receipts). After that I made sure I ordered as close to ~$43 as I could (meal plus 15% tip maxed out what I could claim) three times a day.

I also couldn't order two appetizers or entrees without needing a memo and/or showing it was for the next meal because we couldn't buy someone else food. Pizzas were never questioned beyond "you ate it all yourself?" though. I really like expensive pizza parlors when I'm traveling for work.

I'm pretty sure most of our medications are made overseas.

That looks like "seasoning" you'd get on baking sheets and cast iron. Seasoning is polymerized oils that end up having a high temperature breakdown point, quite a bit higher than the original oil. It's not an issue, and if you're willing to put up with it, might actually make it easier to clean since it has non-stick properties.

Otherwise, you want to use a basic (as in acid-base) cleaning agent, ammonia, oven cleaner, etc. should work; bleach might not be a strong enough base. Oven cleaner is made for cleaning this type of thing, but it's one of those cleaning agents where the precautions are absolutely required, not just a company liability thing because idiots.

In my opinion, if soap and water and scrubby pad don't remove it, it's not worth further effort.

I would think that the power led would be on if there's power going through the motherboard.

Are you referring to the power led or the disk usage led? I think on my nuc the only other led is the disk usage one, which looks like a soda can. The power led is always on, but doesn't indicate standby or operating as far as I've seen.

It's likely there's another boot device that's taking priority over USB, if USB is even enabled in the bios. I've had a few computers that try to pxe boot after internal drives, so it never went to usb until I futzed with the boot order to remove pxe. It's likely not that you didn't have an SSD in it, but that USB drives aren't high enough on the boot list, or not at all. You could try finding what the boot selection key press is on boot, then blindly picking first, second, third option etc. to see if anything gets a hit (frantically press boot key during start up then hit enter after a few seconds, then reset and do it again if nothing happens after about 30 seconds, but hit down, then enter.)

I'm not disagreeing with the overall idea of your statement, but you likely won't feel the effects of alcohol in food no matter what (jello shots would be an exception, possibly other foods absolutely drenched in alcohol). The amount added to food is so low to begin with your body will process it before you start to feel it, it works more as a flavor and fragrance enhancer.

But you're correct, water and alcohol don't evaporate at the same rate in cooking, you'd have to do some calculations that I'm not about to spend my time doing, to determine by how much. It ain't 1:1, but it also isn't 100:1.
