  • Because team mentalilty.

    Many people will instinctively disagree just because you happen to be on the other team.

    Let's take political ideologies, they all want the same thing:

    Good schools, good healthcare, good geriatric care, good infrastructure and so on.

    Where they differ is how they get there.

    The left want the government to provide these services, the right want the private sector to do it.

    To have a productive discussion on how to solve society's problems, I find it better to talk about the issue itself and avoid branding yourself as a part of a particular movement.

    Also, I can't have my car play map in my instrument cluster, I use that constantly to get a general overview of the local area without looking at my infotainment screen, as it is quicker

  • We were friends for a short while...

    But during the time we went to the same school, weird behaviors showed themselves, they told friend R that I would not play games with R unless R did what they said.

    This turned me off them completely.

    Anyway, I googled their name one day a few years back, and found that they have completely flipped out.

    They have seemingly lost all control, and they and their family are have been bullying their neighbors and other in the community.

    They have been to prison for stalking and assulting people, there have been reports of them even driving agressively towards random pedestrians.

    They will latch on to other people and can make their life a living hell.

    I am being deliberately vauge here.

    What motherboard should I use for a DIY NAS?

    I posted last week about building a NAS, and on friday I saw that the Jonsbo N4 case I had been eyeing for a while was in stock at a good price.

    So now I am looking for a motherboard to base my system on, which seems to be a bit difficult.

    I need an mATX or ITX board that can handle six SATA drives and also have an NVME slot for a boot drive.

    Performance, I value power efficiency more than super high performance, and am on the fence between Open Media Vault or TrueNAS, I like the familiarity of Linux, but I do value the features of ZFS.

    If I end up on TrueNAS I may run a VM in the hypervisor from time to time, mostly just for testing.

    The NAS will not be an HTPC, but will serve media through SMB and possibly NFS later.

    Cooling could be a bit of an issue as the case does not have a lot of space for a cooler

    NAS build at home

    I am sorry if this the wrong community to ask in, while I have been on Lemmy for more than a year now, I am still learning my way around, and this seems like a relatively active community in a relevant area.

    Right, on to my questions!

    I am planning to build a NAS over the summer, at the moment all of my personal photos are stored on a single mechanical 2TB Seagate drive that is about 4 years old.

    I have other media on another drive that is older but larger, all in all I expect that I have about 8TB of data that I care about.

    I am working as a 365 admin, and have been the main Linux admin at my last place of work, I am also a hobby photographer in my spare time.

    Currently, I am looking at using either the N4, the N3 or the N5 from Jonsbo, the N4 is a beautiful case!

    I am thinking of running four 6TB drives in a softraid like this:

    Linux > MDAM (raid 5) > LVM > ext4

    My thinking is that I will probably need to migrate to new drives every X years or so, and with the LVM, I can just

    Change the default mouse cursor!

    After decades of using the standard mouse cursor in Windows, and loosing track of it more and more as displays and resolutions grew, I have finally changed it to black and increased the size of it one step.

    I find it so much easier to locate my cursor across my 1440p monitors, it is just clearer what is going on.

    In the office I use a turqoice cursor, and at home I use the black cursor, it is a slight annoyance to get used to it, but wow, it is fantastic!

    Min parkeringsgranne kör med punkterat frammdäck, kan jag anmäla detta till någon?

    Jag såg att parkeringsgrannen hade punkterat framdäck för några veckor sedan, sen dess har jag sett att bilen körts vid flera tillfällen, och stå parkerad med punkterat däck, grannen verkar inte bry sig.

    Det känns inte fantastiskt säkert, finns det någon jag kan anmäla detta då det känns som en trafikfara?

    Youtube blocking Pixelfed links?

    I just watched a video from Extractions&Ire about Yttrium, and since I live close to where it was discovered I asked in the comments if I should go there and take a photo, which was heavily upvoted, so I go there and took some photos, upload them to my pixelfed and post the link in the original comment.

    And YT immediately removes the entire thread including other comments.

    Any one know if Google/YT has a particular beef with pxlmo.com?

    Question about amplifiers

    I am about to take delivery of a new monitor, a Dell Ultrasharp U2724D, and I have a question about the audio....

    I know this sounds confusing, but hear me out...

    I built my computer a few years ago, sadly the audio broke a few days later, I first the rear output stopped working, then I used the front output and a few days later the cable I used caught my chairs armrest and my computer fell on it's side, during this the headphone jack broke.

    I currently use the headphone out on my Philips monitor and run it to a generic noname analog amplifier to my Roth Audio OLi RA-1 speakers, this works fine, but there is an issue with the new monitor.

    It does not have a headphone out, but a line out.

    Would you expect a generic amp to work with that?

    I bout the amp seven/eight years ago at the Swedish chain store Kjell & Company, it is labelled "Roxcore A32" and has two RCA inputs at the back.

    I have no idea about this.

    [This is at least the final part of this series, I have gone through the thread from beginning to end, there is plenty more content in the thread, I have only taken one story per post, even when there are multiple funny stories in the same post.

    I may get back to this later, in the meantime, I hope you have enjoyed these posts and please enjoy this last part as well.]

    Fyraårsåldern: Fest på lantstället och jag och min kusin klättrade in i en parkerad bubbla, lyckades krångla ur handbromsen och rullade ned ekipaget i grönsakslandet. Kommer inte ihåg hur de fick upp den.

    About 4 years old, there was a celebration at our vacation home, me and my cousin climbed in to a parked VW Beetle, we managed to disengage the handbrake and the car rolled down a hill into a vegatable garden. I can't remember how they got it out of there....

    [Hello, this has been a shitty day, and I am truly pissed off with the result of the US election. I started the day thinking that it would get better, but it didn't, so I decided that since I have this week's part ready now, that this is when we all need to sit down together and poke fun as some stupid things from the thread.]

    14 år. Det är vinter och jag och en polare är ute och går i ett område med höghus. Det finns grymt mycket snö så jag och polaren bestämmer för att lassa in en massa snö i en av höghusens hiss. Sagt och gjort så börjar vi fylla famnarna med snö, och det är inte lite heller. När vi har tryvkt upp en redig hög mitt i hissen kommer vi på att vi har varit lagom högljudda så vi drar därifrån fort som fan och hoppas på det bästa, kom inte tillbaka på några dar

    Jag och min 2 år yngre bror var ute och skjöt luftgevär. Vi hade var sitt, och vi var 10 resp 12 år ungefär. Jag tänkte att det vore häftigt att se när två avfyrade diaboler träffade varandra i luften, jag föreslog då att vi skulle sikta väldigt noga på varandras mynningar och sen avfyra exakt samtidigt. Som tur är var jag så smart att jag bara 10 sekunder efter att ha sagt det, kom på att det kanske skulle vara farligt.

    Skolbus som var jäkla kul, hade lyckats kommit över en kopia av huvudnyckeln till alla elevskåp, skåpen stod i en stor hall 3 på varandra 20 i varje rad. Jag kunde inte motstå att jäklas lite så jag såg till att bli utslängd från lektion 1 timme innan lunchen, denna timme öppnade jag alla skåp och vände alla böcker så att de lutade mot skåpdörren vilket innebar att om man öppna skåpet så skulle alla böcker ramla ut, ni kan nog tänka er vad som hände när det ringde ut till Lunch. Det var full rusch till skåpen typ 150 elever som öppnar skåpen samtidigt hihihihi. Uj vad ja garva när halva lunchen gick åt för att plocka ihop rätt böcker.

    Hello again, I have decided to try and make these posts on fridays, to celebrate the end of the week!

    Here are some more stories from the amazing thread "Dumma saker ni gjort" on the Swedish forum Flashback!

    Just a clarification, you may have noticed that I include the post ID of the stories, that is just for me to keep track of what post in the thread I am currently using, I may not be using all of the post in my compilation, this is both to make it easier to read, but also to make it quicker to make these posts as I make them on my phone.

    Finally, I claim no copyright of anything in these posts.

    "Stupid things you have done" - Part 0 - Introduction

    Hello, this is the start of what will hopefully be a series, of translated stories from the greatest Swedish forum thread I have ever read, it requires a bit of an introduction though.

    First things first, dear mods, if you feel like this breaks the rules, let me know and I'll end the series. That being said, I plan on only making one post/week to not spam the community.

    Ok, so what is this series?

    Flashback is a huge Swedish forum which has existed on the internet for decades, they brand themselves as providing "real freedom of speach", you can discuss anything there, and people do.

    These days Flashback is home to a lot of racism and sexism as people can post without a filter, I will not be reposting that here.

    The thread I will be posting from is called "Dumma saker ni gjort", and is a thread that was active for years in the early 2000s, it contains posts about the idiotic things kids did when they were young.

    Now as this is a Swedish forum the entire thread is in Swedish I will
