-Carry a gun everywhere because the idea of interacting with anyone they don't know is terrifying

Republicans are such big tough individuals that they:

-Have to rig the maps even worse and get bailed out by billionaires to win elections

-Completely abandon the ability to think to AI and their goons in the administration

-Absolutely shit their pants at the idea of being alone in a diverse city

A 3D-printed 12-bay ATX NAS Case? Yes, please! I 3D-printed 12-drive ATX case to use as a secondary Proxmox node in my homelab! It turned out fantastic!

For what you're able to fit in this 3D-printed case (ATX motherboard, ATX PSU, 12x 3.5" HDDs, PCIe cards up to 245mm), this case has a pretty reasonable footprint.

I 3D-printed an entire ATX-sized case that fits twelve 3.5" drives. I like this case so much, I immediately incorporated it into my homelab!

Trump to revive Presidential Fitness Test President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Thursday afternoon reinstating the national fitness assessment, which was sunsetted during the Obama administration.

I spent $420 building a 20TB DIY NAS to use as an off-site backup I implement an off-site backup using a Mini PC, a 20TB USB HDD, TrueNAS SCALE, Tailscale, and some space at Pat's house.

What's your off-site backup situation look like? If it doesn't exist, it doesn't need to be complicated or expensive. A MiniPC and an external hard drive is all you need to get started.

I'm pretty sure my son's school or school district (also in Texas) forbade its teachers from sharing lists because it doesn't reflect well on the schools.

I could be remembering indirectly. It's hard to keep things straight in a persistent avalanche of Texan dystopia.

The fact that both parties are underwater is a reflection of the fact that our political system has been corrupted by big money.

But for Democrats, who claim to be the party of labor, the pivot to the β€œcenter” has been particularly devastating. They can’t represent capital interests and workers.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Over the past 12+ years, I've had one (or more) #DIY #NAS machines running in these cases.

Which two are your favorite?

I needed to either work cleaning up my hoarded data, or I'd "need" to increase the capacity of my TrueNAS boxes.

I opted to buy new hard drives for my NAS and use those drives to upgrade my offsite NAS.

I have >100 TB of these leftover hard drives! I should put them to work, shouldn't I?

I'm 95% certain that this is a feature in DaVinci Resolve. Assuming you have audio from the camera's microphone, you could use the "Auto Align Clips" and select to use the audio tracks' waveform.
