I think it gets some flak but I've been super happy with Unraid.

Migrated hardware by moving the usb drive over to the new system and it didn't blink that everything but the HDDs was different. Just booted up and started the array and dockers. The JBOD functionality is great. Drive loss is just an excuse to add a bigger drive.

There's weirdness sometimes if devices don't respect your network's dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

I now deeply want to hear the call to prayer sung in English in a heavy Minnesotan accent. Any accent really. LA, Texan, Georgian (state, not country; you know what, either).

Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It's a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it's at an angle, sometimes it's not.

Generally in the west, unless it's on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.

Modern specs are complicated. I vaguely remember something about a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display.

Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck. (Still sounds like the Forum is being a dick about it though.)

Ah, fair enough. Though I'd probably swap Gideon and Ancillary.

I'm sure there are reasons but it's always seemed like a lost opportunity that the Steam app doesn't work as an app store for mobile games on phones.

~Halfway through atm and enjoying it, reminds me a bit of Ancillary Justice. Didn't know it was a series. What's your runner up?

I'd settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.

Back-feeding the grid during an outage is the main concern. One panel isn't going to hurt a line worker. A neighborhood of them might.

"Normal" installations have a transfer switch of some kind between the house and the grid to prevent this. Which means a permit and electrician.

Don't know what's different about these panels / installations that makes them safe without that.

I assume they're refering to The Watch, but that's less an adaptation of Pratchett and more an adaptation of that show runner's pet project with the names of characters from Discworld overlaid to get funding.
