Don’t feel sad about downvotes. It’s too bad it happened, but this is a great opportunity to tell you that the Eric the God Eating Penguin exists!

Who is the comedian looking like the Corinthian in the thumbnail?

What makes the difference? I mean I get it, better results somehow, but I am not ready to go sign up yet rather than just use whatever search engine I pick besides Google to work behind my address bar.

Yep. My home assistant production deploy is on a separate rpi, same as my pihole, and I’ve promoted out a few other services out of unraid. As an almost 40 father of 2 with a full time gig, I don’t want to dick around with experiments that interrupt the rest of the family and I also don’t want to spend a year of “30 mins before bed” to figure out how to deploy a service I’m not even sure I want to use long term.

Exactly. I like doing clever scripting and neat one off projects, I don’t like having to become a networking expert, a containerization expert, a hardware expert, and an integration expert so my wife can reliably watch law and order.

I can roll a custom arch build no problem, but I can not set up custom vlan or nat rules or easily swap to a new file system with baked in snapshots or tell you anything about how my GPU compares to anything on the market or how to make it reliably perform hardware acceleration. I would be happy to learn those skills, but sometimes it’s all just too much.

If I’m gonna do it, I want to do it. If I need to verbatim copy someone’s YouTube video where I use proxmox to use someone’s Ubuntu KDE VM to set up couch potato, I’d rather just use unraid and not pretend I’m a FOSSing haxor :).

Already bought the lifetime license. It’s great, I don’t miss rolling my own bare metal arch servers.

(Because I still do that too)

Edit:

Unraid is stupidly point and shoot. It just works for whatever weird configuration of hardware you have and the provisioning is extremely intuitive, fast, and it just fucking works. Why yes, I will have a paperless server and have it auto update and sure here let’s make this space a samba drive to receive docs. Paperless is not brain surgery in arch, but man 5 minute setup for stuff is nice. Ive got maybe 10 containers running that I set up the first time I launched Unraid more than a year ago and I otherwise haven’t touched it. The upside and downside is that I didn’t have to learn anything to do it. Esp if you get your stuff from the same maker/provider the latest versions all hang together and updating can just be automated.

The 42U rack in the basement will be… hard to steal.

I only use 3U of it for compute and all of it came from my university salvage for less than… $350 total (switch, rack, 2 servers).

Instead of totally effectively not doing anything at all, including vote or show up.

Idk

Half of everyone is dumber than the average person

I’m part of everyone.

I wonder which half of me is the dumb half…

Nice! This comment brings your total of my up votes and down votes back to exactly zero. Very Thanos. Very cool.

Man I really thought his steam play history (specifically power washing simulator) was going to reveal some radical left links!

Especially if more than 100 hours

Yo ho, yo ho

I bet some lies in there too

What?

Maybe Kirk was one of his horcruxes

“fuck this guy in particular” - to everyone

Continuously?

“Liver is in, Bob, go fetch the next one. I’ll take this one out.”

Bro I’ve been foot-longing people nonstop. The media just won’t pick it up.
