So when do I get my hoverboard?

There are plenty of NAS systems that use M.2 SSDs. Those should be pretty much silent. You might even have to sell only one kidney to afford the drives.

I second docker. Very easy to get it up and running.

OK maybe I didn’t really put that well. What I mean is that the far right oligarchy stooges have leveraged the age related mental decline of large swaths of the population into an electoral stranglehold that makes positive change very hard to achieve.

Unfortunately, the dementia is already progressed too far, to really do anything about this.

Paperless provides an export tool that lets you export all your documents. There’s no guarantee that the import will work on a higher version, but usually it’s fine. Just make sure that you have a clean install without any documents before importing from an old export.

It’s also possible to export all documents and metadata via the REST API, though that’s a bit fiddly. Then you can import them the same way. Again, this should only be done into an empty system, because otherwise your object IDs will be all scrambled up.

Using the Synology as storage and another machine to host everything else is a perfectly fine solution, especially if you have the hardware already. If you want to consolidate everything onto one box, there are quite a few options from the likes of Ugreen, Aoostar or Minisforum. But those don’t really provide much of a benefit other than having one fewer box.

There are mini PCs that aren’t much bigger than a Pi in a case.

I had the same problem when I tried to run it on a RasPi4. Now I have an N100 mini PC and everything runs great.

Having just a single drive doesn’t really provide a lot of security. I’d want at least two drives in a RAID config.

On the other hand, having one home server that does it all has its advantages. I have a mini PC with an N100 processor and two HDD drive bays. It hosts my Docker containers and holds my data. As long as you install all the software on the internal drive and keep only the data on the HDDs in RAID, you should be pretty safe. I hope. So far I’ve managed not to fuck it up.

Finland has been “close to completing” their storage site at Olkiluoto for quite a long time now. Let’s see when they finally get it into production. I wouldn’t hold my breath.

People like that are mainly driven by narcissism.

And the Western companies have just been sticking their heads in the sand and selling more gas guzzling SUVs. And when the Chinese eat their lunch they’ll keep bawling until they get another government handout. And yes, those Chinese get lots of subsidies, but so do the Western car companies. Buy those just go to enrich the shareholders.

Plotting murder is his favourite pastime.

I’ve never heard about “cultural appropriation” outside of jokes making fun of it. And it’s one of the right’s favourite strawmen. Maybe it’s time to let it go?

I’m sure putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of health care will solve all problems in no time.

Colour me not at all surprised.

Who would have thought those would be official US government policy some day.

He’s about to open a hip new coffee shop in a gentrified part of town.
