  • Sure, we could also work out the average life expectancy of a mammal.

    But, would it really be useful, predictive or meaningful, given the variety and variability of the conditions the data emerges from?

  • Ah pointless advice...
  • Often my role as a therapist

    Before we can work out how to climb out the hole, we gotta sit together for a while in the hole.

    Not forever but a while. Long enough that we got what was needed by climbing down there and to not be alone in it

  • The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil.

    Maybe god does prevent Evil and the Universe is totally just and fair. The problem is humans thinking their version of Evil is the correct one. Maybe.

    Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source

    Thanks to this community I've learned and I'm feeling inspired. I've loved having an NAS for the last few years, but it's woefully under powered for what I'm using it for these days.

    So I've ordered some basic PC parts, gonna build a basic setup using an old CPU I got lying about and try the NAS OS I saw talked about on here recently.

    TrueNAS looks like a good option with only slight fears it'll go down the well known path to the dark side like so many free options before.

    In any event, I'm looking forward to adding Nextcloud and Jellyfin, to trying out Docker and generally having more control over things.

    Thanks again to you all for informing and inspiring.

    I'll be back if I get questions!

    I can not over express how happy I am with having setup my NAS from scratch.

    My NAS was getting increasingly annoying.

    It would give error messages about not being shut down properly after scheduled restarts.

    Apps would sometimes work and sometimes not. I had to manually stop and restart my video library each time to make it work. It was slow, it was refusing to do more than one thing at a time.

    So, I finally started it up. Shunted all the data to external drives, setup the box from scratch.

    Between it being fresh, and me knowing better what I'm doing and how I want things from the get-go, it's running better than ever, better even than when I got it a few years back.

    Interesting, while it was offline and being setup I found myself realising how integral it's become to my day. So much stuff I went to do, only to discover I needed my box.

    It was intended as a file backup and server, but so much has changed since then, I've grown used to having it here!

    Still tempted to get an upgrade, maybe later this year if things workout well with the cash.

    Wanted to share this with a community who can appreciate the feeling of having something working well!
