I had one from Sony a long time ago. It even had a cable you could attach between two of 'em (600 CDs!) so that it could seamlessly start playing another track while loading the next song. I dropped it during a move and the next time I opened the door, it spit gears at me. I had intended to fix it some day, but started watching Hoarders and decided it wasn't worth it.

What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server?

I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge R730 at a killer price, and intend it to be the cornerstone of my home lab. I plan to use it as both a NAS and a container server so I can set up whatever I want with it. I'm a bit unsure of what a good setup here looks like, so I'm hoping for a bit of guidance....

Anonymouse ,

Can you elaborate on the scenario this is solving for? Isn't software RAID a performance hit?

Push button transmission? It's been done before.

Of course back then distracted driving was digging through the box of 8 track cassettes.

You're 100% correct on the tactile difference in the buttons. I didn't think of that. A similar complaint is every feature is a "button" on the infotainment screen. I saw this on a Dodge. My current car has no touchscreen and I have driven it long enough to just know where all the buttons are without looking. In my opinion, distracted driving should include these types of things that take your attention off of the road.

Thanks for the reminder! I just replaced the gallery. I still have Simple Draw, it appears that there's no replacement, but I'm not tied to it. What do others use for a drawing/photo editing app?

Anonymouse ,

I don't know what your criteria is other than privacy. This guy's post looks interesting.

Anonymouse ,

I'm just speculating here, but I've seen where app developers pull in a framework for a feature and it comes with all sorts of hidden gems since the framework was developed by a large corporation. The small development team now needs to consider writing their own framework (an established anti-pattern), find another (that may have the same problems or be less mature, etc) or include the privacy invading code and plan to replace it in a future release (which never happens because users want new features and the privacy concerned users have left).

Anonymouse ,

Well, that's unfortunate. I've seen this happen way too many times.

Anonymouse ,

I would love to give this a try. Did you follow any guides? Which Pi?

New York Bill Would Require a Criminal Background Check to Buy a 3D Printer ( gizmodo.com )

I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it's pointing at.

Anonymouse OP ,

A self replicating 3D printer? I like it.

IPv6 for home lab

Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are "invisible" to everyone (I'm looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, "why not disable IPv4 instead?" I'd have half as many firewall...

What can we do to keep the web open?

Anonymouse ,

There's a lot of good comments and suggestions, but the one that I'm not seeing is, "tell others".

Do you perform support for friends and family members? Explain why it's not in their best interest to use Chrome (and Google products in general), then ask and help them to install and use alternatives.

Have a laypersons response to why they should avoid Google for that person you're chatting with on the bus. Have a response ready to the awful, "but I don't have anything to hide" counterargument. As an aside, being the tin foil hat wearing guy/gal doesn't help the cause, explain it in plain language.

Anonymouse ,

Am I supposed to upvote this because it's awful advice or downvote it because it's depressing advice?

It seems like this person either had success with their advice or had nothing to say, but felt the need to say something.

My favorite advice for clinical depression is "just snap out of it."
