    I dream in a fashion that I “experience” the dream and remember it later, but only around the changing of the seasons. For instance, in Central America where I live, were transitioning into the rainy season soon. I’ve been dreaming so vividly for the pas two weeks, and only started feeling rested two nights ago.

    In a week or so, that will taper back to rarely remembering ant dreams, and not surface again until October or November when our dry season starts again. (Disclaimer: we haven’t had a rainy season with rain the past two Yeats, but we still call it the rainy season)

    When I lived in New England, it was the same, but four times a year, and most pronounced in the fall-to-winter and spring-to-summer transitions.

    That’s not to say I never dream outside of those times, but rarely remember, and not consecutively. Last night I had one dream from 3am to 7am. I woke up once and used the bathroom and easily returned to the same dream, albeit subdued.


  • OP asks about HDD technology, and somehow you found a way to ignore the main ask of their question, AND offer a response including a discussion about a hypothetical home renovation.

    “I see you want to know X, but I know about construction, so how about Z or Q? Eh?”

    Bravo.

    OP, WD Red NAS drives are usually 5400 with low cache and go at least up to 10TB. Might have to buy soon, as I don’t see much new stock.


  • Well as long as you’re aware of the risk and prepared for it, its not so bad to run in a volatile way like that. I ran my TN box for almost a decade on the same USB boot before I finally caved and picked up three Intel enterprise SSD for the job, with one as a cold spare. Nothing in the vox was critical or would be missed for more than a few beers of crying.


  • Thats is a very budget-friendly choice for UnRAID to accept varying drive sizes. As a backup destination, especially a cold backup, the RAM requirements of ZFS should be less impactful. I had lots of use from my TrueNAS box with 16GB, and my dedicated cold backup build is just 8GB on 5x1TB WD Blue (gasp!) HDDs. I always wanted to try other NAS platforms, but I’m away from all my tech for a few years.




  • Looks to me like you got (temp) banned for posting apparent incel comments in a hateful way. Not to mention your advice was exactly what the OP said they were avoiding from their own friends.

    Perhaps reading the room is a good start before you click reply. Doubling down when called out for hateful comments will rarely go well, and defaulting to name calling and reducing well-received advice to a “lib salad” (whatever that means) won’t either. Perhaps stop behaving like the internet is some place where manners and respect are optional, and you’ll feel more welcome wherever you go.

    I’m not trying to call you out or rehash that relationship advice here, only pointing out that you can disagree with people politely if you truly do desire respectful discourse. I hope you reflect on the ban and the comments replied to you. The world needs fewer, not more hateful incels or “alpha males.”


  • Yes! I imported 23k media files into a new platform, and the takeout process was such a pain. My destination was built to handle the zipped or unzipped media, but occasionally issues cropped up,like when files spanned archives but the json was on the previous one. That resulted in orphaned files with upload dates instead of date taken.

    Ultimately, I think I had the best experience extracting all 123GB and uploading the albums/folders that way.

    Would have been SO much easier with an API that allowed cloud to cloud.








  • I feel you. Thanks for the comment. “Right to be Forgotten” was the phrase I needed to see for that to click.

    I think your analogy is off the mark only in that, in the situation you describe in the lemmy platform, the teacher’s video disappears, but everyone can still see that they posted something.

    I do hope that in time, lemmy devs remove the username next to deleted posts.

    As I said to OP in another comment, lemmy gets a lot right when it comes to privacy, and much more right than most social media platforms. For me, I won’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
