Prosecutors hate this one weird trick!

a cheap SBC w/ a big SD card

I like that idea. I have an extra Pi Zero – would that work or do I need more processing power? I’m looking at storing around 5-15GB per day.

Living on a busy street, my cameras would fill 40GB in just a few days. Ideally I’d like to have at least a few weeks if not months of retention. I’m also fiercely anti-subscription to the point of irrationality. I wouldn’t be in this community otherwise – I’d just have a Ring or Blink plan like a normie.

A big part of why I want a(nother) NAS (I already have two because I’m a maniac) is that I need a backup of my surveillance system’s footage, not only in case of data loss but also in case someone breaks in and steals my NVR – the device which would otherwise contain the only video of them breaking in and stealing my NVR.

As of last night, I have an offsite backup functioning so that problem is mostly solved, but I still wanted a redundant copy saved locally. Since the NUC is busy being a server and occasionally a PC, I was looking for something else that’s also small which I could hide from a burglar inside a wall or ceiling.

I love the idea of up-cycling but I was looking for something physically small/compact that I could hide easily in a ceiling or closet that wouldn’t also be unnecessarily power-intensive. My 10th gen NUC running Debian and a full *arr stack uses <5W at idle for example. I could end up using it as a NAS instead but I think I’d rather have it out in the open on a desk where I can still use it as a desktop as needed.

I also have a GOAT friend with a 2.5x2.5Gb symmetrical fiber connection who co-locates a server of mine for free as long as I share the storage with him. It’ll be a redundant offsite backup in addition to this NAS so I only need the most basic of features, not something with a whole desktop OS and/or entire ecosystem of available extensions and other packages.

Which model? I ordered one reliable one for a customer and another one that turned out to be a lemon.

Turbolifts move on each axis, too, so they’ll still get there from engineering when you actually stop scrolling and walk/run/bike/drive with your phone in your pocket.

Edit: We do get to stop scrolling eventually, right?

I couldn’t care less, I was just stoked to see it in the wild!

Only if the question was, “Is the President supposed to uphold the Constitution?”

Thanks for sharing my meme!

Does it work?

Sure, but we’re talking about Microsoft here. When was the last time they actually improved any of their software?

Telemetry is exclusively for internal data collection and the inevitable sale of it. Recall is also for data collection but provides a user interface to access a slice of that data under the guise of the whole thing being a “feature”.

Baby don’t hurt me

Death by snu snu? Not really how I wanted to go – unless it kills both of us.

I think this one was net+ but yeah. I was trying to find something to bore me enough to let me fall asleep and instead I found this gem.

Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…

I love being alone and I wouldn’t want a huge place either. I can keep my thermostat at 61°F/16°C all winter in the evenings and stay nice and toasty on my heated mattress pad next to my dogs. It keeps the gas bill to a minimum even in a colder climate in a house with 100-year-old windows.

Honestly, yes. Vim scary.
