I lived a few blocks in from the center-right edge of this photo when it hit.

It was really wild to look down these streets that used to be lined with huge shady boulevard trees, and just see clear sky down for 1/2 mile straight.

Beginner here (to Linux and networking anyways), running Unraid for about 18 months now. Fully agree, it's been great for actually getting up and doing useful things quickly and relatively pain free.

Eventually I would like to try working backwards and getting things running on a more "traditional" server environment, but Unraid has been a great learning tool for me personally.

It's like... Maybe some folks learned to overhaul an engine before they got their driver's license, but lots of people just need to a car to get to work and back today, and they can learn to change their oil and do a brake job when the time comes.

I get why the map is upside down... but why is the marina logo right side up??

Right after too-salty popcorn, this is one of my go-tos when watching a movie--especially with a peaty scotch.

This was one of the first that came to my mind as well. It wasn't till a couple years ago that I learned it was a cover, and I really can't decide whether I prefer APC's or Failure's version.

There is a live recording of Thirteenth Step, where they play it much closer to the original, and it's the absolute best of both worlds IMO.

But I'm the mummer jummer baby can't you see!

(me before you could easily look up lyrics on the internet)

Honestly, as long as it's easily DIY upgradable (accessible speaker mounting locations, standard DIN panels, etc) I am all for this. Most OEM audio systems are stupidly overpriced and suck complete donkey balls compared to what you can get for a few hundred bucks at Crutchfield and install in an afternoon.

For the last 20 years or so, most factory audio systems are so integrated into the rest of the electronics that they can be an absolute nightmare to upgrade unless you are a pro, which means you get the worst of both worlds: garbage audio, AND a steep upgrade path.

What kind of weak-ass, soggy, no-meat-and-beans-having, baked-and-topped-with-bread-crumbs, bring-to-the-church-potluck, topologically-fucked-up nachos are you eating??

Just speaking for myself here, but as someone with only basic literacy in networking and almost zero prior experience with Linux or Docker, I found Unraid extremely straightforward to spin up--especially with the numerous guides floating around on Youtube. I started out with a used SFF PC that cost about $120 and a few drives I had lying around, and was up and running with basic NAS functionality in an afternoon.

I've mucked up a few things trying to do something more advanced without fully reading up, but I haven't had a single hiccup with Unraid itself.

1.5 years later, and I've got ~80TB worth of refurb enterprise drives and hosting several media and other storage services, and I don't see myself outgrowing it anytime soon.

ONLY ONE QUESTION BROTHA:

ALIENS FUCKING SPACESHIPS OR SPACESHIPS FUCKING ALIENS????

NO JUDGEMENT EITHER WAY, JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE HOG-CRANKING PREFERENCES OF A FELLOW DAY DRINKING DEGENERATE!

100%

I've tried explaining this concept to people in my life who insist on considering context when deciding whether to use their turn signal. But about half of them seem stuck on this idea that moving their fingers a few inches is a task that justifies a cost-benefit analysis each time.

I don't get it, man...

On the one hand, you're probably right. On the other hand, I also look like a doofus with a bare chin so I can't really judge him on that account.
