Not specifically, no. When I did change to building my own NAS, I cracked open my older 4TB backup drive to use as a spare.

I’m lost with what I’d need to do to access my server from outside my local network, and terrified of doing something wrong and leaving a hole open so any hacker can access my server. I’d like to do it some day, but I’d rather have a safe local network than screw and get my data stolen or deleted.

Setup a VPN via Wireguard or Tailscale. I personally have not done that but I have VPN setup through OpenVPN which I did not find that hard and people say that is significantly harder than Wireguard.

The other (less safe) option would be to setup a DMZ on your network for stuff you want to self host. That is a bit more involved though. I went through it for fun and setup a public Nextcloud instance along with DDNS and a reverse proxy. I was just messing around though and shut it down after testing performance.

If they are up for that, I’d be happy to part with mine for cheap. They’d need to get an E5-2650 (v2) to meet their 16 core requirement but a pair of those are pretty cheap.

You can usually find HPs for cheaper although they are pretty picky on what they work with. For some reason, HP decided that it will work with stuff they have not certified but the fans will constantly be at 100%.

You can find HP Proliant dl360 G8s and G9s for about that price if you want enterprise grade.

Because SQLite is slow as balls. Use MariaDB and redis:

The lazy ones drank 7-Up.

I think the last game I bought on release was Fallout 4. I’ll still enjoy a game just as much of it is two years old and only $20.

Depends on the state.

Libertarian originally (way back in the early 1900s) was always immediately followed by socialism to basically mean anarcho-socialism. The term was later hijacked to be shorthand small state capitalist and now closer to fascist.

My parents in rural Washington pay $70/month for 10Mbps down. I’m not sure the ISP bothers with a cap.

I have CenturyLink 940/940 here in Seattle with no cap for $65. The alternative is Wave which has a cap and you have to deal with introductory price bullshit.

Mediacom is an American telco.

To be honest, I would not be great at naming German states. I can get Brandenburg, Bavaria, and a couple others.

My friend used to work for Cascade Bicycle Club and they host a Bike to Work breakfast fundraiser. My friends were giving me shit for not biking to it but there was no way in fuck I was going to bike downtown (I took the bus). At the breakfast one of my friends mentioned that someone was killed while biking on 2nd the previous night.

It is better than it used to be and cars do seem to be more aware but it still needs to get a lot better. Painted lines and those stupid flappy things are not infrastructure. I was in Missoula recently and downtown (or whatever is makes for a downtown there) had a designated bike lane on the sidewalk. While that comes with its own issues, a bike hitting a pedestrian at 12 MPH is a hell of a lot better than a 1 ton vehicle hitting a bicyclist at 25 MPH.

What we really need is two bike lanes on one side separated by concrete curbs. I can’t imagine that would be significantly more expensive than those dumb flappy pieces of shit.

I don’t think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.

They used to give out awards to gift daily to encourage people to use the official app. You could also give out gold if you got several gold. I never spent any money but did give out awards.

I did not know economics at the time. I also grew up in a conservative household but never understood the opposition to gay rights and legalized drugs.

You can in clover or creeping thyme though. It also does not get real tall you do not really have to mow.

Get clover and creeping thyme. Neither grows tall and both stay green without really any watering.

Nobody waters their lawn in Seattle. The only green you will find in the summer is from clover or maybe creeping thyme.
