Oh sorry. I haven’t been getting much sleep lately. Everything feels like a copy of a copy of…

People are always asking me if I know you

And to you as well!

A Møøse once bit my sister … No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”.

A plastic razor blade scraper may help keep you from scratching your stove top. They’re easy to find on Amazon and other online stores. I’m not sure about physical store availability though

That’s ridiculous. I’ve never had optical camouflage, advanced weaponry, and I’ve never hunted a human.

Thank you. It’s been three months, and although it hasn’t gotten much easier yet, I’ve been thinking about adopting another rescue. My last dog saved my life in multiple ways.

I’m sorry, friend. I lost my beloved dog on New Year’s unexpectedly. It’s the worst.

Wow that’s crazy. One sick day should not require a doctor’s note. I question the legality of that requirement.

I used to buy external drives when they went on sale, and I’d shuck the case off of them. In my opinion the quality of the drives in those externals went downhill sometime in the last several years. You might get lucky and get a drive meant for a data center, but I’ve stopped playing that lottery.

These days I just buy retired but warrantied data center drives from sellers on eBay. They’re big, tested, reasonably priced and the seller will replace them within their warranty period if they do die (I usually see 3-5 year as the warranty time). So far I haven’t had any of these die in the last couple of years. Seagates used to fail me constantly thought. I’m now down to only one Seagate still working.

Open Media Vault is another good choice that has a web management interface

This was going to be my answer!

Thank you for that article! He’s a truly good writer, and I read a couple more of his entries before I bookmarked his site.

Are you literally here to proclaim that Windows is the better OS because Linux gives you the freedom to screw it up?

My brother in computing, that’s on you if you’re having problems with fixing problems you’ve caused in Linux. As a former professional system admin, I’ve run into issues with Windows that Microsoft’s own support team could not figure out and had to refund their fee. I have never, not once, had an issue in Linux that I couldn’t fix or find someone who knows how.

So basically this is where I’ve landed on this after rooting, moding, etc. all of my electronics for the last 30 years: for devices where I want to customize everything, it’s going to be done with a Linux computer to begin with because there’s absolutely nothing standing in my way. For other things that I just need to work reliably and not become yet another chore, I buy some product. So I would buy a thermostat, but build my own NAS (with a 3D printed 7-bay case).

I’m beyond sick - as I think you might be too - of all the extra stuff I have to keep up with whenever I jailbreak/root/whatever a device just so I don’t fuck it up with some careless action or update. I just don’t have the same amount of free time and mental energy to dedicate to this stuff anymore. I wish I did though.

I can relate. I’m getting tired of having to do this kind of thing for all my devices just to make them work. I’m even probably going to switch to iPhone because at this point I just want my phone to work reliably, and my OnePlus 8T never has.

My advice is to go to the XDA forums and find your device there. You should be able to tell from replies and view counts of the threads which of the ROMs and mods are the most popular.

With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That’s not the fault of the OS.
