Piggybacking on this, is there an app that will easily download your emails from Gmail and MS for backup purposes? Something like a pop3 frontend that will archive with folders and tags.
One of the few manufacturers that have the 3.5mm jack and SD card. The only other one I can think of now is Motorola.
I'm going to go against the grain a bit and suggest studying for a certificate. Find one that looks interesting, and just prepare for it. You don't necessarily have to get the certificate, but training for it will give you a good foundation for running your systems.
I know rebuilding containers is trivial, but updating a service in the UI is more trivial than that. I'm just trying to make my life as trivial as possible 😁. It seems like containers may be worth the little bit of extra effort.
Copying a response I wrote on another comment -
Thanks for this - the one advantage I'm noticing is that to update the services I'm running, I have to rebuild the container. I can't really just update from the UI if an update is available. I can do it, it is just somewhat of a nuisance.
How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

Docker on VM vs bare install on VM
Currently I'm running some services though Docker on a Proxmox VM. Before I had Proxmox, I thought containers were a very clean way of organizing my system. I'm currently wondering if I can just install the services I always use on the VM directly. What are the pros and cons of that?

As we've seen recently, there are things that individuals can do to make a difference.
I see it as a sign of health that people working with vaccines only use them when they are beneficial, and don't use them when there are reasons not to.

Remote adb (I think?) was a lot easier than I expected. I recommend changing these tv launchers as quick as possible.
You seem awfully upset that people are criticizing Tesla. Are you okay?
How many?
Also, the bigger issue is not being able to escape the fire because you can't find the manual releases. Pretty horrible death. Probably done that way to save a little bit of extra money to line Musk's pockets.
Perhaps the closest term is "cognitive dissonance." I don't think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.
https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html
Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.
While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).
There is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don't know if it's refers to popularity like OP wants.
Why not husband/wife?
I've seen the argument that it is actually better to cripple the bridge than take it out completely. As it is, Russia still has to expend significant resources to protect a symbol that has very little strategic military value. Once it's destroyed, those resources are freed up to use elsewhere. I think I agree with that. It can be destroyed later as a final triumph.
Apparently the people don't care enough to stop their soldiers from burning kids alive. Why should I care what happens to them?
After burning those kids alive, honestly, I've given up caring what happens to the people in Israel.
Stop enabling the genocide? Please?
Thanks, that's a useful description.
Pretty ingenious.
There was the question of why Vance would work for someone he had called Hitler. His public statements are they here was convinced after Trump's first term that Trump was a good president.
In fact, there are private texts stating that Vance believed Trump's presidency was a failure. This was new information. It made it clear that he wasn't convinced by Trump's presidency.
It probably doesn't make much difference to most voters, but it is significant information.

newatlas.com Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report
A new report has assessed the feasibility of deploying small modular nuclear reactors to meet increasing energy demands around the world. The findings don't look so good for this particular form of energy production.
[T]he report's executive summary certainly gets to the heart of their findings.
"The rhetoric from small modular reactor (SMR) advocates is loud and persistent: This time will be different because the cost overruns and schedule delays that have plagued large reactor construction projects will not be repeated with the new designs," says the report. "But the few SMRs that have been built (or have been started) paint a different picture – one that looks startlingly similar to the past. Significant construction delays are still the norm and costs have continued to climb."

Verifying -arr Downloads?
I found an av1-labeled version of a TV show on Sonarr, so I downloaded it, replacing my previous 264 version. I started to play it and realized it was a smaller 264 version.
Is there a way for Sonarr and Radarr to verify if a download's version matches it's label? Do I just need to stick with trusted distribution groups?
New Unraid OS License Pricing, Timeline, and FAQs
Unraid has come out with their new pricing plan.
I have mistakenly said in some comments here before that they were doing away with their lifetime plan. They still have it, but it is just more expensive. They have introduced a couple of cheaper annual subscription plans.
If anyone is still on the fence about buying Unraid, you have a week until the new pricing plan comes into affect.
After seeing so many examples of companies really screwing up their pricing changes, it is refreshing to see Unraid do this so well.
Proxmox vs. TrueNAS Scale
I'm in the process of migrating my system to some new hardware. I was curious on everyone's thoughts about Proxmox vs. TrueNAS Scale.
Here is some background - I'm currently running a mini-computer, with Debian, attached to an external hard drive. I host Plex, -arr suite, PhotoPrism/Photo backup space, Syncthing and some other apps. It runs fine, but could probably use some more memory. I also haven't had a lot of luck backing up all my family's data (on and off different cloud services) in one place in a way that avoids duplicates. My 4TB HDD is at about 80% full now. I have an offsite synology that I back up to using Syncthing. Syncthing has been having some problems lately, so I'm looking at some other options for that too.
I've been wanting to move my storage to an internal HDD, so I bought a larger used computer and a hard drive so that I can clean my setup a bit. It has an i3 8100, 500GB M2, 256 SSD, 8TB HDD and 24GB ram. To experiment, I've been running Proxmox and set up a fe

When Pi-hole is down?
I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.
I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn't access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?

Chromecast with Google TV is now serving some users with full-screen, auto-playing video ads for physical goods on the home screen. Read on!
Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

GIANT stands for Goddard Image Analysis and Navigation Tool, and it is basically an optical navigation software. That's right, it uses images snapped by cameras, lidar, and other sensors to find the best way forward, kind of like we humans do when we use our eyes to see where we're going.
Simply put, GIANT only needs a picture of the target to be able to determine distance, the mass and center of a spinning object, and even identify landmarks on the surface of a celestial body. Three-dimensional maps of potential landing zones can also be generated, complete with potential hazards.
