Yeah… I’m not sure anymore that pre-builts are the best NAS machines. Looks like I’m buying piecemeal.

Picture I linked looks like it will fit.

Actually…

I think Deep Glacier is cheaper if you’re backing up less than 8 TB, so I think I may have to go with Backblaze if I end up using up all 12 TB. Really depends.

Thanks, I’m saving this. I’m very unacquainted with plumbing / carpentry so I wouldn’t have thought of this.

yep, that one. They claim it has a 2tb hd in it so the 3.5" is most likely populated, but good catch! I also have extra cables lying around, so cables won’t be a worry.

I hope not too creative. I think there’s some standard adapter online.

Amazon AWS Glacier

Edit: I was downvoted for this, but it’s genuinely a more affordable alternative to Backblaze whose finances are questionable.

These are small potatoes to the real problems.

I worked at Dollar Tree a year ago and got a letter saying my SSN and birthday was breached by Lockton. This is the second time this has happened and it’s ridiculous they’re still holding on to my data even though I never consented.

If simply functioning in society is going to require me to buy lifetime identity threat protection then I don’t know how privacy isn’t a luxury.

It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.

Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.

In that instance maybe run docker with gluetun and qbitnox. It’s a bit difficult to setup but will sort of achieve what you’re looking for.

Can you set the interface in qbit to tun?

I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.

AirVPN is great. I got it during the Halloween / Cyber Monday sale. 3 years for $70

OK. I think I get it. So people enable uPnP on their routers and then open Minecraft’s port using uTorrent (or any other program that opens a port with uPnP). And they do all of that instead of just logging into their NAT routers. Honestly, sounds like something I would do before I knew networking concepts, though if it were explained to me it would be a million times more confusing than just learning how to configure NAT.

Can you explain this? I have so many questions.

This is hilarious because I can attest to this. I took a class where we were partially graded on security - part of that was proper SQL parameterization. Half of my team couldn’t / wouldn’t be bothered to do so. It was just impossibly hard to get them to do so, almost as if I was asking them to do 10 pushups for every line of code.
