What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.

Driving to Texas. Half way there, at night, not many cars on the road, I seen glow on the left side of the road. Slowly I notice it's a fire. As I get closer I noticed it was a pickup truck fully engulfed.

I ended up just driving without stopping because: I had somewhere I needed to be and I was exhausted Anyone that was in that truck was already dead

This is a bit inaccurate. What about truck drivers? They are extra shitty then. But they wouldn't be extra shitty if they didn't deliver your Charmin to Costco for you to purchase.

Don't blame the end-user, blame the system.

Does scp resume broken transfers? If not, maybe rsync instead. Lots can go wrong for connectivity over the span of hours/days

I accidentally wiped my backup. I'm redoing my storage setup and had the backup laying nearby.

I was stunned. I immediately gave up and went to bed.

 

I was thinking maybe about trying a Proxmox cluster across 6 nodes, and using containers for the Jellyfin media streaming stack here:

For storage, I have two 4tb drives, and I'd like to have them separated across two different nodes, but mirrored and preferably auto fail-over.

Thoughts? Ideas?

So wouldn't that mean actively going around telling newbies why church is bad? Which is what we don't want religious folks doing?

I made a habit of checking out Goodwill for boardgames. Best one yet was King of Tokyo for maybe $10. Like new condition.

You can pirate books. Use Calibre and build your library. I have over 2000 books. Doesn't take much storage either.

Few reasons. One, to help me advance in my career. Two, because I like the idea of open source. Three, tech business are kind of acting evil for money, so I'm going back to being self reliant and piracy.

 

I may have the options between two Mikrotik l009 routers or a single rb5009. Which route should I go?

 

Just bought Cyberpower OR700 1U UPS (20lbs). Will I need rack mount rails to support the back or will the cage nuts at the front be enough to support the UPS?

I'm working on building a personal alternative to Spotify and YouTube Music and I've hit two roadblocks.

  1. Genre labeling in my library is inconsistent and manually updating 2500+ MP3s isn't feasible. I've tried using beets with the LastFM plugin in quiet mode but no luck. Any ideas?

  2. Where can I bulk download diverse music catalogs? I've snagged some 'top 90s/80s/hiphop/etc' collections, but 2500 songs don't go far.

What I miss about Spotify and YouTube Music is their ability to auto-play similar tunes based on my current selection. Any advice would be appreciated.
