I’ve owned them for a while but agree. I’m also going to pick up 1 or 2 rack chassis models soon for free, which I would recommend over paying for a qnap.

Slap your knees , say “whelp…” then stand up and walk away.

I answered the 2nd part of the question.

Pay up.

Off the shelf NAS like Synology or qnap both have this feature.

No I don’t think that would work.

I went with a nas since I needed storage and barely any compute, and I wanted it on all of the time. I also wanted a cloud sync service.

Keep in mind that SMB and NFS work fine across any network but iSCSI needs a reliable hardwire network with decent buffers on the switch.

Attaches storage uses USB which isn’t that great. eSATA is better. External drives start to add up too.

It’s a backwards compatibility issue. MS has been telling people for years that defaults are not secure. I have enterprise grade equipment in production that doesn’t support smb signing by default.

Shit is crazy.

How did Novell mess up netware? If anything Novell should have teamed up with IBM or Apple to take on end user productivity.

Wasn’t 4 still a flat directory? I’m talking about 5 when it got serious.

Novell solved directory services 25 years ago. It took MS 10 to catch up.

Whenever I hear about invasive plants or animals I always wonder if it’s geo-politics.

• Invasive bees.
• Invasive mollusks and fish in lakes and rivers.
• Invasive plants that are a lot more flammable.

A different domain name won’t fix the issue you’re describing.

Can you explain the connection issues? Dynamic dns services aren’t much different than a normal domain name.

If the problem is with your ip address changing then you need to get a more permanent ip.

In fact you can usually get a domain name from the dynamic dns provider and they can update it.

A way around this is to use a service like Tailscale. Their ip address for your host won’t change. The downside is you need to be on von to access it. There might be other options.

If you want to really tinker there is a uConsole kvm project.

If it’s an intel cpu you might have vapor, which is a native kvm. If you have AMT then I think you get kvm to the bios but it won’t give you kvm once the OS boots.

I’ve known two people that sleep very little. One was a guy from google that managed a team and also taught and did other stuff.

I was doing the math and it didn’t make sense so I asked him about it and he said that he only slept 5 hours a day and it’s stressful on his family life, and that his dr keeps telling him it’s not healthy.

The other person was someone that ran the company I worked for. I could tell by the remote access logs that he was going inactive around 2am and then would be back on by 6am. It didn’t seem possible and as a security concern I talked to him about it. He said that he barely sleeps. I verified it by talking to his assistants.

Both of these people were extremely successful in their careers. I think it’s some sort of OCD that they’ve harnessed.

Honestly how did two wires on old phones power the phone, got it to ring, hold a two-way conversation, and also dial out? Only two wires?!?

I took a class at college on it and the mystery was revealed but I’m still convinced it’s magic.

Upgrade to 200A panel if you’re already going through the hassle of significant wiring. You’ll be able to run more circuits to that room.

Tracking inventory is literally one of its primary use cases.
