DIY NAS build in progress
  • To people negging about the CPU being under powered:

    File sharing, media management, a couple of services for a handful of clients... It's perfectly fine.

    At 10W in with a tiny footprint it's great when you don't need any more computing power and next winter electricity bill drops.

    Not everybody needs a full racks of decommissioned Xeons and arrays on arrays of RAIDs that draw juice like an industrial fruit press regardless it's in use or not.

  • They are perfectly fine for a home NAS.

  • I may be a little late with this one
  • Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook... I'm here to get away from all of those.

    Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse doesn't have to exist in contrast to other social media.

    It can just be.

  • Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
  • Something like that, yeah. It was introduced conveniently after the YouTube Vanced crackdown.

  • I've got €6/m ad free but without premium features. YT tries to make me upgrade but this is enough for me. I wouldn't pay €12/m but I'd rather go looking for adblockers and third party apps should it come to it.

  • @ernest It would be handy to be able to block all magazines from an entire domain without having to check every single one as new ones are trending in the global feeds. In my case feddit.de - not because antagonism but because I don't understand German. I'd imagine this be a future issue as more language dedicated servers emerge.

  • Carbon filter for kitchen hood fan

    My kitchen stove hood fan needs a new carbon filter as the current one lookes pretty caked with grease from the previous owners of the place. It turns out the manufacturers filters cost €150 which I find a bit excessive. Filters seem to be the printer ink of the kitchen.

    So I'm thinking either if it is possible to clean out the current one, or reuse the casing and refill it with some bulk carbon filter material, if there is such to be found.

    I have no idea, I've never done anything of this sort before.

    Experiences, ideas, suggestions much appreciated.

    Edit: There is a metal mesh under that is washable, but also an internal filter, as the hood is recirculating the air back into the kitchen. My apartment building does not allow kitchen fan exhaust into the ventilation system.

    Think of the first music video that comes to mind. What is it?
  • @Mantising wow that's some unexpected cosmic horror right in the groin

  • Think of the first music video that comes to mind. What is it?
  • R.E.M. - Orange Crush was the first that popped up to mind. No idea why. Haven't even thought of that song in like ten years.

  • Which was your favorite console controller and why?
  • The TAC-2 joydick for C64 was the shit. Oh, boy.
