Are those 3D printed replacement caps or something?

I love it! I use a Model M daily for work and remapped my RAlt to a windows key.

My grandfather lives in the south, and for a number of years after Tesla became a big name, he genuinely thought it was “Tesler” because that’s just how everyone he knew was pronouncing it

It reminds me of the time someone dropped a camera on a skull in the ATM cave in Belize. https://www.7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=22514 People are stupid…

(And for the record, the skull was not fixed when I visited the cave in ~2014, despite what the article said. Hopefully they fixed it after that).

It’s got a large booty, whether you think that looks good or not isn’t on me. I personally think it flows really nicely! And it fits a surprising amount of stuff in it

I’ve got an ‘07 grand Cherokee that I’ve had for years and years (bought at 94k and it’s right around 150 now) and it may very well be the only Jeep in existence that hasn’t absolutely exploded horrifically.

I agree on the style-side of Hyundai. Reliability-wise I honestly can’t say all that much; my brother’s got a Veloster and that car has broken down on him way too many times, but it’s only one example so to be fair I can’t just base my opinions off of that. But style-wise I think the new cars are trying too hard to look futuristic. And the rear end of the new Santa Fe looks absolutely awful, to be totally frank. But that’s probably gonna buy me some flak; I know a lot of people love what they’ve been doing with their styling recently.

Oh… and don’t buy a Nissan. I had a 2012 Rogue and to be honest I didn’t hate it, but those CVTs are just about the least reliable thing in existence.

I’ve got a Mazda3 hatch (2022, carbon edition) and it’s one of my favorite things. The interior and exterior both are stylish and feel very upscale; imo more so than comparable Toyotas and Hondas (my girlfriend bought a Camry the same year I bought my car so I’ve got a good point of comparison).

That’s incredible

Tbh I’m surprised you know what a glockenspiel is but not a xylophone, lol (For the record… it’s pretty much just a bigger glockenspiel, yeah)

We’ve all got those plants that just love to die no matter how much we want them to stay alive… keep at it! You’ll find a friendly one someday :)

Alright, this may be a bit of a loaded question. But I figured it may provide good insight to both myself and to others. I just came into a pretty beefy server - dual Xeon E5 2699 v3’s (18 cores each), 768 gigs of RAM. Ten front drive bays, 6 of which have 7.68T NVMes and 4 of which have 15.36T SAS drives. I’m thinking the NVMe drives will go into a single RAID 5 or 6 (thoughts?), and the 15360s I plan to use for more sensitive stuff so I’m planning dual RAID 1’s there. Boot drives will be a hardware RAID 1 of dual 1920G SATA SSDs. So again… pretty beefy. I believe this server would cost me ~$100/month to run, although I may try something where I keep it off 6/7 days of the week and only turn it on if I need it otherwise, I’m not sure yet. Thoughts on that are welcome too.

All of that said. I’ve got the power & the storage for some pretty neat projects. But I’ve not delved into anything of this nature before. I’ve heard of Plex, I’ve heard of Jellyfin, but I don’t really know what it all means past that. And I think it would be pretty neat to be able to dump some streaming service subscriptions and make up for a bit of the coin I’d be dumping to power this thing (may also host a Minecraft server with it, lol).

I’m very familiar with Linux/console, so that’s not really an issue. I’m erring towards either Arch or Ubuntu (fight me, I like both).

Thoughts? Ideas? I figured this was a good community to post this in but can remove if it isn’t.
