RCS was a dumpster fire for years. Only in the past couple of years has Google stepped up to be the centralized force in making it work as envisioned.

quick edit to say I agree this could’ve been avoided if Apple had made iMessage for Android, but I just wanted to point out the blame is shared by poor implementation across the board.

Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.

Not a lawyer, but there are lots of intricacies to this. You can own a trademark without having it be a registered trademark. Registration is expensive and then you are expected to actively defend use of your trademark. Be prepared to pay lawyers to send cease-and-desist letters to parties using your trademark for financial profit. Not to mention you have to be/become a business engaging in interstate commerce using this trademark.

dedsec doesn’t appear to be a registered trademark in the US at this time.

Do you have an auxiliary power connector hooked up to the HBA? Here is the manual.

Modular ports would be great. I’d love to have two USB ports on a phone rather than a USB and headphone jack.

Snapraid to a single drive works well if you are fine with daily snapshots of up to 6 drives.

no clue, mine doesn’t seem to vibrate. just one of the things that popped up when I searched for why they used to warn against it. was hoping to get a “back in my day” comment explaining why.

Great setup! I’ve heard that it is best practice to keep a little distance between servers/drives and the UPS just to be safe from vibrations or EMI. Does anyone know if this is still something to worry about?

oof, nearly 3k for that model (assuming B020-U16-19-IP)

MergerFS + Snapraid is a really nice way to turn ext4 mounts into a single entry point NAS. OpenMediaVault has some plugins for setting this up. Performance wise it will max out the drive of whichever one you are using and you can use cheap mismatched drives.

It really is. I have every possible ISO I may want and even a win10 bootable environment on a single usb drive.

Agreed, don’t do what I do if you value your power bill. To be fair, my network switch pulls more power than my cobbled together server anyhow.

Depends on what your server is running. Multiple GPUs, HDDs, and other fun items start to add up to well over 100W. I justify it by using it to keep my 3d printer filament dry.

I’ve always wanted to be able to get information about landmarks as I drive. If I drive by something that has a Wikipedia entry my car should offer to read the summary to me. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will probably be saturated with hallucinated information for a fraction of the minor landmarks I inquire about.

There was a programming search engine called Symbol Hound that allowed for searching for special symbols like << and &&. It was my fallback search engine while programming if I couldn’t find something on the first page of Google. Sadly, that site appears to have disappeared. Does this search engine have optional support for special characters?

Washington Post is currently $4/4-weeks or $40/year USD for unlimited articles.

You can also build your own custom SATA power cables with some crimp connectors.
