What about Unicron, but pre-destruction? He’s basically planet sized.

Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

Could I be Cthulhu?

Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

WHAT ARE THE RULES???

Zwave uses a different spectrum than zigbee and wifi though, so as far as wireless communication, it’s probably the most reliable.

Wired is mostly impractical for outlets.

Fired and laid off are two completely different things. Quite a few folks have been laid off and find other jobs, but it’s always easier to find a new job while you have a job.

Don’t wait to get laid off to start looking, but don’t quit without something else lined up first either. It’s better to ride the job out to the end if you don’t have something else first.

Well, if LTT is involved, then I probably want nothing to do with it.

A hard disk uses spinning magnetic disks to store data.

An SSD uses flash memory to store data.

Since it doesn’t have moving parts, it can access the data faster and with fewer parts.

At current prices an SSD is more expensive for the same size storage, but most people don’t need 10TB on their laptop.

Smurfing hell… I thought I was going to be the smartass in this thread.

Damn, that’s pretty sweet. Nice job on the setup.

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

https://www.synology.com/en-global/releaseNote/DSM

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

Because no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.

I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.

I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

Interesting take. I really enjoy when artists can reflect on their work decades later.

it’s much harder to prove because the official acts part also includes all the evidence and testimony needed to prosecute.

So if you can’t use evidence from official communication to prove that the treason happened. That makes the prosecution of presidents very difficult. It’s going to be extremely difficult for a prosecution to tell a coherent story to a jury without including any “official” acts as part of the crime.

Typically there’s a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process.

Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires.

Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.
