The Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC ram I got on eBay pulls 15 watts from the wall streaming 4k video on Plex.

It didn’t have 6 bays but if I needed it I could move the guts to a bigger case

I bought a used Coffee Lake era Xeon 2224G workstation with 32GB of ECC RAM to use as a NAS. It uses 15 Watts at the wall measured with a killawatt while streaming 4K with Plex.

When a British tourist visits the Louve, who pays whom?

How is the JavaScript in a svg different than the JavaScript in every web page on the Internet that makes it a security risk?

It doesn’t even make economic sense. How much are those missiles and bullets vs the cost of sending a few customs agents to impound the boat?

They’re certain it has drugs, right?

Disabling JS is itself a very rare thing for someone to do so doing it helps fingerprint you.

As if you’ll have a choice in 20 years.

Didn’t work for me with Verizon. They do not care. They want you to quit. Comcast wants you to quit too. By switching between providers every year, the Sales Executives of competing companies get to show big numbers of new customers and get a bigger bonus.

My explanation for this is the sales department only gets bonuses for new customers. So they have an incentive to get you to quit because the Sales Department at other companies also get bonuses on new sales.

It’s game theory. The opponent sales departments get the biggest reward by being the worst business as long as their competitors are also bad. If you don’t switch back and forth every other year, they don’t get a bonus.

I know you are asking about Synology but like the other poster suggested, build your own.

A coffee lake Xeon server like a 2224G uses shockingly little power (15 watts streaming 4k plex), has ECC ram and are available on eBay for ~$200. I bought several used Lenovo Xeon servers a couple of years ago and they have been fantastic.

He’s not talking about people who actually switched but those that publicly say, “I’m switching.” But never do or immediately backtrack.

What is on my mind right now is why you care so much.

He wants to hear about those that tried it and stayed and those that tried and went back. It’s very important to know both despite his hostile phrasing.

I haven’t been an avid user of generative AI when it was first released and decided against using it at all lately. I tried to use it in niche projects and was completely unreliable. Its tone of speech is bland and the way it acts as a friend feels disturbing to me. Plus the environmental destruction it is causing on such a large scale is honestly depressing to me.

Isn’t that exactly the answer you are looking for?

That means less than the Budapest accords.

Members of the security council constantly engage in acts of war without approval from other members.

Why split physical and data link when they are so closely related?

100 mb Ethernet can be run over cat 5e, Cat 6, etc. You can even have Ethernet frames running over coax. (Not just the original standard which was coax but there are modern bridges for using cable TV coax in your house to reach rooms where you can’t pull cat5.)

I know you should separate the art from the artist but fuck Kelsey Grammer. Watching his shows directly gives him residuals.

He’s promoting Trump even today.

That such a proposal is even considered is a failure of the international community.

It wasn’t a failure of the Internation community. This was a Trump surprise with no input from anyone but Putin.

Well sure Nascar. F1 was the first motorsport that came to mind.

but both are equally bad.

Asphalt, petrol, oil, and tires are equally bad to watering grass so old men can drive electric carts around?

I didn’t say it was great. It’s just an odd one to single out when there are sports that are far worse.

Golfers

I’ve never golfed but there are far worse sports.

F1: let’s pave over the green space with asphalt ( petroleum) and run cars that shed tire rubber (petroleum) and sometimes leak engine oil until the surrounding land is dangerously contaminated.
