I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.

Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.

Oh boy…I also have a perfectly working bathroom fan motor. In storage for around 15 years now, and rescued from my parent’s renovation. Good to know it may indeed be useful :)

I had a flame sensor go out last year. The tech could get it going by just cleaning the sensor, but did come back and replace it when the part came in.

Sadly, I gave up my own troubleshooting when I saw the computer control was flashing an error. Would have saved me a couple hundred bucks.

I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

Sad as that is, I think you’re correct

Yes! I hope they don’t roll over (again). They need to fight on every front. Respond to flooding the zone with a torrent of their own.

Not only do the rich not pay enough taxes, they are the greatest beneficiaries of taxpayer funded programs like SNAP since it allows them to underpay their employees. So we basically subsidize their gains.

But….if someone sold a manually operated plastic extruder, that’s fine?

And if someone separately sold CAM software that’s fine too?

Just sayin’

Why are utilities privatized?

Our energy provider increased our rates, then reported record breaking profits the next year. :(

This is a good tip, thanks. I have been approaching it with a "I'll build up a ton, then sand it back to what I need" which is probably one of the many ways I mess it up :)

Now I can code in peace while simulated AI usage quietly empties a lake somewhere...

I can do all sorts of DIY things around the house.

Drywall/plaster, I am terrible at. Much respect for those skilled in the trade. Their work on a ladder above their head beats what I can do at eye level over 2 days.

(The other thing I don’t touch is plumbing. Jeez, that water really wants to be outside of the pipes. Unlike drywall, the impact of bad plumbing is much more than an eyesore.)
