I’ve had the misfortune of posting on Craigslist Forums and then having at least 1-2 people shit on me or call me a moron

For now!

That list is no longer accurate. See cybenetics labs.

Yeah… I’m not sure anymore that pre-builts are the best NAS machines. Looks like I’m buying piecemeal.

Picture I linked looks like it will fit.

Actually…

I think Deep Glacier is cheaper if you’re backing up less than 8 TB, so I think I may have to go with Backblaze if I end up using up all 12 TB. Really depends.

Thanks, I’m saving this. I’m very unacquainted with plumbing / carpentry so I wouldn’t have thought of this.

yep, that one. They claim it has a 2tb hd in it so the 3.5" is most likely populated, but good catch! I also have extra cables lying around, so cables won’t be a worry.

I hope not too creative. I think there’s some standard adapter online.

Amazon AWS Glacier

Edit: I was downvoted for this, but it’s genuinely a more affordable alternative to Backblaze whose finances are questionable.

I guess I do.

I’m not going to be in a relationship for the foreseeable decade

I’m graduating a year later too.

ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.

If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.

There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.

These are small potatoes to the real problems.

I worked at Dollar Tree a year ago and got a letter saying my SSN and birthday was breached by Lockton. This is the second time this has happened and it’s ridiculous they’re still holding on to my data even though I never consented.

If simply functioning in society is going to require me to buy lifetime identity threat protection then I don’t know how privacy isn’t a luxury.

min-maxxing my sticks

It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.

Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.
