Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

It seems it has a single widget, “status widget”.

I’m not sure how to read the Plexus entries, and they don’t seem to be clickable. Would you mind explaining how to use the site in a meaningful way?

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Do I understand it correctly that I’ll be able to add more drives later in JBOD mode, but I’ll simply have to power it off before adding or swapping drives?

I’m in the same situation as you, more or less… I have three new 22TB drives that need an enclosure, preferably for JBOD (no hardware RAID needed) but I can’t figure out which ones are actually good products… I don’t mind using a random-brand product if it’s actually solid.

I find it very difficult to figure out which ones will support my 22TB drives. And for some of them, it seems, it’s impossible to add new drives to empty slots later (because of hardware RAID, I guess?), which has made me hesitant in buying one with more slots than I have drives, in case they can’t be utilized later on anyway…

I was looking at the QNAP TR-004 which was mentioned by someone else somewhere on Lemmy some months ago, but IIRC it would be impossible to use the fourth slot later if the drive isn’t included in the hardware RAID configuration…

EDIT: I have also been looking into so-called “backplanes” as an alternative, since they seem to do the job and are cheaper, but I’m unsure if I’ll need a PC chassis/case/tower for that to actually work?

If you find something good (products or relevant info), feel free to share it with me.

I think that’s just their code…

But basic internet permission is given to all apps without asking.

But it really shouldn’t be! And GrapheneOS, at least, always asks the user when installing apps that want network permission. If the user doesn’t plan on using any network-based features of the app, they can simply decline.

CalcYou seems great, and it’s on F-Droid.

Kodi/LibreELEC + JellyCon add-on works great!

I’ve heard it mentioned as a “fly swatter” in my mother’s tongue.

Millennium Editions ruin everything!! 🤬

It’s the Danish word “pungen”.

In my native language, our word for scrotum translates to “the wallet”.

Buy the phone used and/or with cash. And never put any SIM card in it that can be linked back to you or someone you know.

When looking up my static ip, the location I get is the one of my ISP, not my address. Do you happen to live nearby some central infrastructure of your ISP? (If it seems otherwise, I’m not trying to debunk what you said - I’m just asking curious questions!)

Got any recommendations for a good DAS with a fair price, either new or used?

I’m looking for something to place three 22 TB drives in, eventually to be expanded in the future, so I’m looking for a DAS with at least three 3.5" bays.

Spend some time finding a few good searxng instances. Also, the language setting affects the results a lot, so make sure to change it based on what you’re searching for. I mostly use “english [en]”, but for local searches I change it to my native language, or to the language of the relevant country.

Yeahh, those guys invented the phonetic alphabet back in the days, didn’t they? Bravo, Papa Queef!

How much frame would a Framework work, if a Framework could work frame?

-Linux Mint: […] not the best […] if you have multiple monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates.

I’m thinking of installing Mint (Debian Edition) on a 2013 MacBook Pro with an even older external monitor connected through DisplayPort, while using the internal Retina as the secondary monitor.

Do you think it’d be a safer bet to go with a different distro with better multi-monitor compatibilities, or do you think I’ll be good using this hardware+software combo?

Any related advice will be appreciated!
