but in my opinion, the only people who are 100% ethical all the time are trust fund babies or fools

So never be ethical then? Never try to do better when you have the opportunity?

Perfection is the enemy of good.

Took me 10 seconds to find that link. They explain why fennec is better.

Clearly you don’t really want to know or you would’ve done this search yourself, and spent the time reading it right from the source.

No

Because it’s pointless.

It’s a “feel good” thing in a Representative system.

Also, that’s time off without pay. I can arrange that all on my own.

Or simply divided between the literate and illiterate.

The Time Machine comes to mind.

You can read anywhere from 4x-10x faster than someone can present.

It’s that simple.

Add to it, 99% of people completely suck at presenting.

I have siblings who are teachers, and I’m a technical instructor. We work hard to not waste your time.

The key to somewhere like that is to enjoy it for what it is, overlooking the “over-the-top” (or simply embracing it).

Medieval Times in the US is that way. We all know it’s not even close to any kind of real - it’s a stage play with dinner. Fun for the kids.

Hog it first

They have their place.

You pay a premium for how much power you get, but it comes in a convenient package.

Who’s arguing? I came in here for a disagreement!

Looks like bleachers (dog is facing backwards)

Hahahahaha

An alternative to Syncthing is Resilio.

I use both on Windows and iOS - Resilio does a better job syncing in the background.

Either one is a good answer though (and I generally prefer ST anyway).

Seek help

Take the rubber protectors off one/both ends, toss a thin cloth in there.

Perfectionism/idealism is the enemy of good

Yes

Yes.

It eliminates risks.

For example I have a proper NAS, a server with one large drive, and 2 external drives.

Guess what I never have a problem with? The NAS or the internal drives. Occasionally one of the external drives will just disappear from the server, because they’re not really intended to be up 24/7. So I’ll have to power cycle it.

Also those external drives don’t have any active cooling - they weren’t designed for that use case. So I’ve found they tend to get warm if I’m copying anything to them, and now have an old case fan on them. Talk about janky.

Pi is a good option because of it’s low power draw.

However I find used mini pc’s and Small Form Factor desktops to be a better value and their idle power is similar to the latest Pi (while costing about the same as a new Pi).

I replace crappy ones when I remove them.

I’ll tolerate Phillips, but slotted gets replaced with torx. Phillips get replaced if they get damaged.
