It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.

The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.

I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.

One could argue they still haven’t

It looks like the media player is open source, but the media server is not.

I also bought the lifetime license a while ago, and am also happy with that purchase.

If the door exists, then it can be opened

Every week I find a new reason to be glad for my 2016 Escape.

Trying to stop scrapers, I would imagine.

I’ll believe Adobe made something non-exploitative when I see it.

We just got a rice cooker instead

The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.

Man, we had to replace the fuse on ours four times before we gave up on it; I don’t think ‘product longevity’ was a major factor in the brand’s downfall. It also did a shit job of cooking rice.

I also highly doubt Logitech’s ability to make a “forever” mouse with how many I’ve had to RMA due to faulty left click switches. Get your product design, supply chain, and QA in order before you start trying to tie people down with wholly unnecessary and unwanted subscriptions. Shitty ent seeking MBA vampires fucking everything up for everyone.

Likewise

Per the article, this looks to be limited to mobile internet and not traditional broadband. While I can understand the practicality of carving out unique bands of the wireless spectrum for specific uses, charging extra for it seems scummy.

Because the franchisees pay for the machines, and McDonald’s corporate gets sweet kickbacks for locking them in to using those machines exclusively. And Taylor makes bank on service fees to repair “broken” machines.

Charisma is selling salsa as a tomato based fruit salad

Went from v10 to v20 to v60. Not sure what I’ll do when this dies.

The trouble is, cable has very little to offer in terms of interesting shows.
