Are you an animal of prey? No? Then you shouldn’t be eating lamb’s meat.

Intelligence matters. Just that IQ number is not a very good indicator of intelligence.

And the average IQ is already pretty low.

Good thing that IQ numbers are largely pointless.

I have tried this. I’m often reminded the next day that they still haven’t received a reply from me.

When people message with a “hi” or “hello” and then say nothing more till I reply.

It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can’t you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.

Close to 15% India’s energy needs already being met with solar. What do you mean “why not invest”?

I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.

The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don’t miss my flight.

Not gonna happen though. I’ll just have to book another ticket for next week. That’s the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I’ll never see again.

I needed a second number a few months ago. My phone has a physical SIM and an eSIM slot. I looked at eSIM.

This is from India, there was no clear information on switching phones and all. Since many cheap phones (the type I use) still don’t have eSIM slots, I might need move back to physical SIM later. There was no information about that either.

And lastly, regulations suck here. Every change of SIM type is treated as a new connection which comes with a 24-hour embargo on everything except incoming calls.

I just bought a cheap second phone.

Regardless of what system you use, your family members will always only have to connect to the shared folders. If they just want to backup and browse files, they won’t have to touch a terminal, ever. That’s the whole point of NAS.

So it’s really a matter of your budget and how much time you’re willing to spend setting it up. For instance, a 5-bay hard drive enclosure and an old 7th gen i3 NUC will do most of what a Synology DS423+ will do and will save youa about US $250. But the synology will take you 2 hours to setup and a few hours of tinkering if you wish whereas the NUC will take many hours of tinkering and setup, depending on your skill level. You’ll also end up with a less polished interface on the NUC setup.

So if you’re the kind of person who loves playing around with custom built system, pickup whatever you like and set it up to your preference. If you just want to get something and have it work, go for Synology.

Oh, and also, Synology shares a lot of data with Synology servers. Mostly it’s not a concern, but if you worry about that kind of thing, you might want to know beforehand.

Anybody know of a good guide for hosting this with GPU? Every guide seems to be talking about running it on CPU when one would expect the opposite to be true. I have not been able to use my RTX 3060 for this so far.
