This is my experience. I had them on my desk in a test bay to make sure they were all good to go and the only time I notice them is when they’re doing a lot of read/write movements. While they idle they’re quiet. So it depends on your use case, where the drive physically is, and what the drive is attached to. If it’s mounted with nice rubber dampers or something you might never hear them. If they’re mounted up to a loose chunk of metal they might rattle and drive you nuts.

I just grabbed a pair of 18TB Seagate Exos SATA drives - surprisingly quiet for what they are.

I feel like I’ve seen this picture as a child and… You know what fuck this bullshit. I hated school.

I emailed my “care team” asking if they could help me figure out if I have been dealing with undiagnosed adult ADHD and they wrote back with a phone number to call.

I haven’t called them.

It’s been 3? 4? Days.

They did, and we’re really up front about it being an opt-in thing, if I remember correctly. Might have started that easy with Microsoft, too. But they can’t resist enshitifying.

And sometimes they don’t. You gotta check ahead, unless you’re going there anyway

I, too, have done blender and CAD. Did solidworks in school and then used Fusion. Both have same parametric modeling principles that make modeling work well. I’ve also used blender, and it’s… Definitely not a parametric modeling solution. It could be. Maybe. And if that was an option, that would be amazing.

Man, I’ve had a feeling that LTT and LMG’s content more generally has been less and less about consumers and more about selling things to people. I guess it’s called “advertainment” - but it’s just so intolerable now. I don’t feel connected to, or like any of the content is relevant anymore to a regular person.

When your employees are complaining that they can’t create the content to the standard they want to because of time, it really sounds like a management problem. One they Linus seems determined to ignore so that they can keep raking in big sponsorships and sales of their overpriced over hyped merch so they can buy ever bigger mansions.

The whole tone of the enterprise is off and the vibes are bad.

This has happened exactly once to me, and it was the VPN, and not the email address.

Paid plan folks can also make use of simplelogin.io

They also expand your storage every year, so it’s not like it’s stuck there forever. For reference, I’ve been on Proton for about 3 years now (paid plan) and I have a data storage cap of 540GB and I’ve never had to buy more. Also, I all my emails so far only consume 340MB - so even on the free plan I’d still have years to go before I reached even 5GB.

(Also, I’ll admit I don’t email much.)

Greetings!

Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I’ve been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.

Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.
