I used to think I could not do it. Circumstances changed and I was forced to make it work. Lifestyle adjustments were required.

Depends on the weather and location. Nice day, quiet side-street, under a shady tree, tire on left hand side, level terrain - I do it…

One Pass is on the Optus network, right? In which case - no thanks.

As many have pointed out, consider electric. It's a much better option. This acoustic will also need some accessories if you still want to…

They all work. I used to develop the device drivers and firmware for Beyonwiz, as well as the device drivers for a bout 20 other brands…

> I prefer flaxseed/linseed with yoghurt. Yuck! Linseed! Linseed oil is for staining wood, such as floorboards. Human consumption? Gross.…

This is literally the most **dangerous** way of having it and some packaging warns against that. Putting it dry in your mouth can cause…

For me Youi were a little cheaper for contents than GIO & Budget Direct, heaps cheaper than NRMA or Coles. For car insurance, on a new car…

So you keep saying in multiple comments. I've had no issues with my F4-424 Pro running several full scrubs, as well as reading and writing…

N150 is just fine for LXCs. TOS7 is not a good move for data integrity. TRAID puts BTRFS on top of mdadm raid5. The raid5 layer has no…

It took about 5 years to diagnose, but Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is a real bitch. I can be allergic to just about anything and it…

@HerpinDerp For MCAS?

When it comes to salami and other cured meats, it would be a combo of nitrites and histamines. I've had that allergy for decades. It took a…

No, there's no vendor lock-in on the HDDs. Terramaster have a list of HDDs that they test and they seem to have some kind of a deal with…

It does make sense if you have a pile of old hard drives (say 4x8TB), need more storage and are unwilling or unable to pay for two new HDDs…

Proxmox. There's no value in the Terramaster software if you are capable of using Proxmox.

The F4-424 Pro is a great little unit and 32GB RAM is a win these days. I've been running oen for a few months. I tried to persist with the…

> are NVMe drives overkill for minipc running plex etc? Yes, they are. The SSD cost per TB is obscene and for Plex you'd want more capacity…

I am using the two D4-320s I have with AOOSTAR N1 PRO N150 Mini PCs using their built-in Thunderbolt-4/USB ports. I also had one of the…

I paid $747.99 for a Terramaster F4-424 Pro. Uses N305. The SATA and dual Ethernet running in active load balancing mode are reliable…

Indeed. I was sceptical at first, given all that on-line info about USB enclosures and ZFS not playing nice, but almost all of that info is…

Very well. With this enclosure you can hot swap any drive without interrupting active transfers on any of the other drives. The drive trays…

I believe the onboard controller has enough cache to hold six to eight USB 3.2 frames. So, kilobytes!

Because the ones you link to are slower, less reliable and not suitable for 24x7 workloads. Mainly due to the internal electronics and…

This is probably the most robust / pro 4 bay DAS. I've got two attached to miniPCs and they work very well. Tested with WD and Seagate…

Bought a third one. Lowest price yet. These are great and work well with Linux / Proxmox / ZFS / BTRFS. Much better than most other brands.…

Paid $300 less for a system with 32GB RAM only a few months ago. Not a good deal.

What's your strategy for when one of your existing HDDs fails? If it was me, I'd grab two refurbs now, while you still can and keep one in…

I listed it now. It's basically a slightly beefed up Beyonwiz V2. The remote seems to be pretty good. Works with Australian free To Air…

Depends on the size of the child. If she's as small as my daughter, then a full size acoustic or a full size bass is a hurdle that may be…
