I’m implying it’s a more accurate comparison, or at least one worth making.

Try non-dairy yogurt, and report back.

Reminds me of the headline regarding Russia fining Google $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever crazy amount.

Shitty dictators think alike 💡

Aspen Dental. Never, ever sit in one of their chairs. If they don’t try to take your teeth, they will fleece you in other ways.

I’m not an expert, so take this as far as you’d like — reading has real benefits to our brains such as improving vocabulary, improving critical thinking skills, and improving focus. I don’t think short form videos give us the same brain benefits.

Here’s an article from Piedmont health on the benefits of reading. I haven’t seen such an article for short form videos, but am open to it if there is one.

On the other hand, the older I get, the more excited I am to greet the next day.

I also enjoy an earlier bed time than I used to, usually.

I have one that does this, too.

It usually doesn’t last super long; I get too hot with him near my chest, and he gets antsy if I’m not perfectly still. 🤷‍♂️

Ah damn, and it looks like almonds are grown mostly in California. Adding insult to injury.

California-grown almonds account for 80 per cent of the world’s commercial almond production.

It’s theoretically possible to reduce cost of food and reduce factory farming if we convert feed fields to other human-consumable options. Additionally, water is conserved, and greenhouse gasses (methane) are further limited.

It’s my opinion that we should not stick with and try to iterate on a bad, unjust, and unfavorable system for the sake of keeping prices low with our current dietary preferences.

And republicans (or, at least one, in my district) are campaigning here on how cashless bail is letting criminals go free.

Cashless bail isn’t letting criminals go free any more than cash-based bail was. I am just as safe. There is nothing to see here, except a more level playing field for all.

Why do the republicans in charge hate people so much? I don’t think their constituents hate people nearly as much as the leaders.

Please share how to run the pesticide and herbicide places out of town. Would love some good options.

3 months ago I cancelled Spotify, following yet another price increase. I went to Tidal for the 2 month trial, and another month full price.

This month I cancelled Tidal, following their deprecation of Plex integration, my finding a couple tracks with bad meta data, and some other here-and-there’s where the service was lackluster.

I’m current on Apple Music.

I like that Apple Music has lossless, like Tidal did. The Apple Music algo seems a bit better so far, even comparing to Spotify or the last time I tried Apple Music (~3-4 years ago). And, one of the things I didn’t know I wanted, music videos for my morning jam time, are better with Apple Music.

I imagine I’ll be staying here for a while.

 

I’m new to the Unraid scene, after putting off doing something other than Windows-based serving and sharing for about.. oh, about 14 years. By “new to the scene”, I mean: “Trial expires in 28 days 22 hours 6 minutes” :-)

Anywho, I ran into an issue with a disabled drive. The solution was to rebuild it. I solved it thanks to a post by u/Medical_Shame4079, on Reddit.

That made me think about the whole “losing stuff on Reddit” maybe problem of the future. While this post isn’t much, maybe it will be helpful to someone else, sometime else.

The issue? A drive ha a status of disabled, and it has a message of “device is disabled contents emulated unraid.”

The fix:

Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array in maintenance mode, stop it again, reassign the drive to the same slot. The idea is to start the array temporarily with the drive “missing” so it changes from “disabled” to “emulated” status, then to stop it and “replace” the drive to get it back to “active” status.

Looking forward to more time with Unraid. It’s been easy to pick up so far.
