Something i have thought about for some time. Do we only have one consciousness? Like if you literally split your brain in half via operation suddenly you got two brain halves tha’t can not communicate with each other in any way. Do you now have 2 personalities and consciousness? If yes, why don’t you have them before? Maybe you always have two but they are just in agreement. And why stop at two? There are some interviews with siamese twins (the teacher sisters for example) and it’s so interesting to see how they talk. They finish each other sentences which is natural i guess but they also say “ehh” when the other one doesn’t know a word. It’s like a single person talking. I am not arguing they are distinctive persons. Just some random thoughts.

In a student flat i once visited they had to hit a switch when using the stove and after i believe 15 minutes it would turn off and you would have to hit the switch again.

I would argue, that the reason why the cat choose this spot is partially because it is the deepest spot, eliminating the uncomfortable slope it would have if it sat 1 meter to the right. Thus there is a causation, the roof shape causes the cat to sit at this spot.

does that mean that we have a proper linux native build, ir will Linux towers still rely on Proton? (Which works excellently so there won’t be much difference for me i think)

Why? Seems like a reasonable amount. In the boxes i used there was place for i believe 80 tips so when i had to pipet something in a 96well plate with multiple components that where not able to be mixed before i sometimes got through multiple boxes in a single session. (And yes i wish i had a digital multi pipet but even then it would not have alwqys been possible to use it.

8.5 is 21cm, 47cm would he 18.5 inches. I really hope he didn’t have 18.5 inches, that would not stab my cervix but my heart.

It’s obviously some smoothed Z-DNA

Actually the immuncompromised status makes me think of toxoplasmosis, these yellow cotton like atrophy can be seen in ocular toxoplasmosis. But not an eye doctor so what do I know.

Edit: on 2nd thought i think it might be virus, herpes zoster to be specific. Ocular herpes zoster is rare but immuncompromised makes it much more likely.

In Germany you essentialy have the choice between a debit card or a Girocard, why anyone would choose a Girocard instead of a debit card is a real headscratcher for me. So many disadvantages for only a few advantages. Especially if you consider that many banks without a debit card also have fees just for having an existing account and often times you can‘t even get money from every atm without fees. So while i underdzanf your points i don‘t think taking a credit card is US centric at all, it is just the superior card.

Yes, all I2P addresses are only available from within the I2P network.

Iirc DDG had a feature that allowed you to save its settings without cookies as a url. So you might be able to bookmark it with ai disabled and then it should also work in Librewolf

Yeah seems to be that self built is a viable alternative, currently looking with PCpartpicker what i am planning to buy unfortunately the N100 MBs are not on there.

I read some more about it and yeah ZFS seems like a great solution. Do you happen to know how easy it is to upgrade storage with ZFS? E.g. i start with just 2x4TB but later I add another 2x4TB, would that be easy or would this result in a total rebuild?

Is that viable? I read that doing it with proxmox can be problematic because it doesn’t offer such great NAS and Raid options out of the box, making it harder to maintain.

I was also thinking about getting a DAS but found several opinions that recommended against it because the hardware RAID is more expensive and software raid with DAS is supposed to be a PITA.

Ahh okay, nice to hear. I will think about using both.

Did you connect the expansion drive via USB or how are you doing that? AFAIK the G3 only supports 2.5 HDDs which are not available with 10Tb, are they?

I will use the server for photos, videos, backups from my PC via borg and as a media server so i wanted to start with approximately 6TB. Budget without the harddrives is under 500€, currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T as a miniPC for server usage and then some used NAS system from Terramaster. Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn’t seem really cheaper compared to buying used/refurbished.

Ahh i see your point, okay i will probably start with something easy then.

Is it really that much data? I mean I can’t seed faster than my upload speed anyways and that is a lot lower than 1gigabit so i don’t quite see how the network will get saturated.
