Hahaha, that’s the point of a password manager. If remembering worked, we wouldn’t need any of this.

Also, I have 300+ unique logins.

Pretty much every car today IS AWD - a better version of plain old 4WD. So even your analogy doesn’t work.

I prefer Goop or PC7/JB Weld

From what I’ve read, they weren’t practical to use as keeping the laser on them was very difficult.

That’s the public info, of course. Maybe it worked very well.

Just use the OptiPlex for everything. The RPi lacks the horsepower, and storage capability.

I’m currently using a 7 year old OptiPlex SFF as a NAS, backup point, media converter, and media server. I’ve upgraded the storage drive to 8TB.

I do have another old NAS I use only to duplicate my data store locally (I keep 3 local copies of data, and a cloud backup).

The OptiPlex draws 15w at idle, about 85w when converting video. My NAS draws about 5w at idle. I initially tried serving media from the NAS, but it’s performance is frankly abysmal. Instead I run Media Monkey, Jellyfin, and another media server on the Dell, which has no problem streaming to my crappy Samsung TV (not using an app, just the crappy built-in DLNA client) It works even better with decent devices, like my phone, laptop, iPad.

Your biggest concern with that Dell is the power consumption. As I said, mine happens to draw 15w at idle - I got lucky

What are the specs on your OptiPlex? Is it a mini tower or SFF? That would help more than just telling us the model.

Depending on your sensitivity to failures (drives die) I’d get 2 data drives for the Dell and mirror them, using the current drive just for the OS.

You’ll need to direct that port for the given service in the router control panel.

For your current server you have a port forwarding for that port already. Just add a port forwarding rule for the new service.

Plus it just seems like a network cable. A bit of security obscurity.

Potential conflicts of interest, no “smoking gun” as headline implies… Yet again.

Do I trust Telegram? No.

But there’s less evidence of wrongdoing at the moment by orders of magnitude than WhatsApp, etc.

I do appreciate the conversation, but holy hell the same connect-the-dots is never made about WhatsApp. Makes me wonder who’s pushing these stories.

Good journalism would cover the issues with all the mainstream comm systems.

Welcome to the 90’s,when this was a thing.

You can do this, but why not just mount the drive inside the case? Usually there’s plenty of connections, with space being the concern. I’ve mounted drives with a single screw to places they clearly don’t belong.

By the time you fill one drive most likely the next gen of drives will be out with a lower cost per TB anyway and you could just move all to that.

Exactly.

Honesty and transparency go a long way. If we know what’s going on, we can choose to help if we have time (say it’s for a portfolio).

These days I try to do both, but recognize it’s an on-going thing that will never be done.

Sometimes folder structure can be a challenge because of extensive metadata. Where do parts of a compilation go, for example. At least with metadata, music players can show the tracks correctly.

Plus if they’re links, how many still work?

You understand the value of risk management.

You’re God Damn Right.gif

Haha, well done.

Nah, it’s 2 different things.

I could add pictures in the shopping list app, I just don’t want them there.

Instead I slowly took pictures of everything I own. And when something new comes in, I take a pic of that. I have a folder for inventory photos.

Those photos are only a just-in-case for insurance.

There’s also the insurance angle.

Heaven forbid you have a fire or flood from a water line break. Insurance companies aren’t your friend and will shaft you if they can - I’ve seen it happen with friends.

So now I have an inventory (and pictures). I have about 4x the stuff in my place than the average person in a house this size, so the defaults from insurance would make me lose lots of money. Once they see an exported spreadsheet with counts and dates (plus the pictures), they’ll cut a check and not argue.

Plus the inventory helps me keep track of what I have so I don’t buy it again.

I have 800+ items in my home inventory list. Lots of different tools, household stuff, seasonal, and cooking stuff.

I used to be able to keep track just by having a few containers, but then I started forgetting what container something was in.

Now containers are labelled with a container name and list of what’s in it, my inventory app (just a shopping list app) indicates the container name.

Edit: You’d be surprised how much stuff you actually have until you start inventorying it. It’s a tedious task.

AutoIt. Just have it play a Windows ding sound every 4min, but also set the volume to zero first.

Have the script launch at login/startup.

AutoIt doesn’t require an install, you can simply copy the script engine to a folder with your script. Been a while, but you may be able to compile your script with the engine too, so you have a stand-alone script.

Or make a silent, 1/4 second long wav/mp3, and use that to ensure you don’t hear anything.
