That’s the thing, when people hear the term micro they still (for some reason) assume its something they can see with their naked eyes. Kind of like those plastic pellets put into handsoaps a while back that are now band.

In reality microplastics are everywhere there is plastic, and they are released all the time at a microscopic level. Meaning you actually need a microscope to see them. Its like a fine dust.

Now think of all the plastic items you use and come in contact with.

Toothbrushes for example, each time you brush your teeth the brisels break down at a microscopic level and are released. The plastic utensils you use either in the kitchen on your pans, or the single use ones for food, they all slowly release plastics. That plastic cutting board, or boiling water in a plastic kettle, yup they all also release plastic.

Pretty much everything breaks down at a microscopic level, that is how knives become dull, or how items show wear and tear over time.

This just in, water is wet!

Got to love that double D

Downdate - The practice of dating someone that is a number lower then you. Carly is a 10 dating a 7. Carly is downdating.

And on 1 transistor there are 3 pins. When you put 1 and 3 together you get 13. Coincidence?! I think not!

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?

Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

I hate building playlists, Plex offers a few different options like sonic sage, sonic adventure, artist mix builder, and automatic mixes based on past listening history.

Jokes on you, in most cases I deploy in 2-3 seconds.

Look into Rufus, it will help you create a bootable USB with windows 11 and you can use it to do a upgrade or clean install from your windows 10 installation (clean install preferred IMO), it will even help bypass the hardware requirements and you can even remove the email account and use a local account. Make sure to use or write down your windows 10 activation/license for a clean install.

That being said you could potentially still run the old wondows OS, but as time goes on new exploits could be found that can compromise the OS. If its behind a firewall such as your router its safer, but there is still the possibility of it being infected way off into the future.

Here is a video of windows XP running on a PC connected directly to the internet with no firewall. Its infected almost instantaneously. (Dont try this at home).

Can I get this shipped to my house? Or do I need Amazon Prime?

Comes down to personal preferences really. Personally I have been running truenas since the freebsd days and its always been on bare metal. There would be no reason you could not virtualize it, and I have seen it done.

I do run a pfsense virtualized on my proxmox VM machine. It runs great once I figured out all the hardware pass through settings. I do the same with GPU pass through for a retro gaming machine on the same proxmox machine.

The only thing I dont like is that when you reboot your proxmox machine the PCI devices dont retain their mapping ids. So a PCI NIC card I have in the machine causes the pfsense machine not to start.

The one thing to take into account with Unraid vs TrueNAS is the difference between how they do RAID. Unraid always drives of different sizes in its setup, but it does not provide the same redundancy as TrueNAS. Truenas requires disk be the same size inside a vdev, but you can have multiple vdevs in one large pool. One vdev can be 5 drives of 10tb and the other vdev can be 5 drives of 2tb. You can always swap any drive in truenas with a larger drive, but it will only be as big as the smallest disk in the vdev.

Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz with 16gb ram 165TB of storage. Motherboard is a Asus Delux 10+ years old. And a 10gb NIC. All inside a fractal Design XL case.

The hardware is by all means not top of the line, but you dont need much for a NAS.

I personally run truenas on a standalone system to act as my NAS network wide. It never goes offline and is up near 24/7 except when I need to pull a dead drive.

Unraid is my go to right now for self hosting as its learning curve for docker containers is fairly easy. I find I reboot the system from time to time so its not something I use for a daily NAS solution.

Proxmox I run as well on a standalone system. This is my go to for VM instances. Really easy to spin up any OS I would need for any purpose. I run things like home assistant for example on this machine. And its uptime is 24/7.

Each operating system has its advantages, and all three could potentially do the same things. Though I do find a containered approche prevents long periods of downtime if one system goes offline.

Maybe just in terms of their electronics, such as updates and extended services.

I do wonder if things like heated seat subscription in EV’s and ICE car’s will keep functioning after the company disappears.

It would help if the politicians entertaining these ideas knew the difference between a link and a complete summarization of the article or content on a secondary unaffiliated website.

Websites survive by generating traffic, links to these site help increase traffic, the increase in traffic means higher ad revenues. News agencies wanting to double dip is only hurting theselves.

You need to do your own research! That aligns with my point of view!!!

All jokes aside, the amount of misinformation on social platforms is mindbogglingly.

For example parents used to tell us when growing up TV would rott our brains. Now our parents have gotten older and they believe everything online is 100% true and fact.

Parts of the internet like TV are for entertainment.
