I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

It’s our modern diet of refined sugar and plenty more that harms teeth

It’s somewhat within our control to do something about it

I expect they are using LFP which isn’t fire prone.

Fortunately energy density is not nearly the concern with boats and trains as it is with cars.

And agreed, the modular batteries are a nice touch.

I expect they are using LFP which doesn’t do that.

Fortunately energy density is not a concern with boats.

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

FYI ripping wise, FLAC is the way to go.

And there are guides to using EAC and similar ripping software to get perfect rips.

Well worth the effort to do it once and perfectly.

Seems pretty cherry picked. From the Wapo regarding Twitter:

But the study doesn’t go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.

It doesn’t examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook.

Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations. Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race’s outcome.

Lastly, it doesn’t suggest that foreign influence operations aren’t a threat at all.

Clicking through, I don’t get it. What content are they offering?

And what’s a leeching group? If they don’t see(d!) what’s the point?

Qbittorrent or Rutorrent has some kind of extension to allow single private file sharing

Or can a private magnet link accomplish this?

Yep search public libraries online and maybe get lucky

Outdoor antennas are typically pole mount. You might be able to extend the dish pole or just remove the dish and use the mount and cabling.

Roof mount would fix that

That’s why we don’t talk about it

Nice setup. Thanks for the specs.

Plex-wise, do I need plex pass to share with friends, or will the free version support that?

Enshittification getting stankier everywhere

Good call. And better than 90% isopropyl is Anhydrous alcohol.

A neighborhood laptop repair shop could probably do all these steps for you, too.

Can Chromecast source NAS directly, or what’s required? Jellyfin or something? Thx

No need to download anything, no iso creation, no thumb drives.

Just reset the current installation and select the option to wipe everything and start over. Google it or just poke through the settings menu.

How safe is adguard? DNS needs to be trusted.
