- Comment on Anyone have a favorite NAS (for normies)? 6 days ago:
I have a Synology DS918+. Older model, but it’s still chugging along and it serves me and my Plex users well. That said, I don’t plan on getting a new one if/when this one dies. They reversed their decision on the vendor lock-in for drives, but the fact they did that at all really put me off.
I get their reasoning behind wanting to vendor lock the drives - Synology is a great chassis for amateur network storage enthusiasts, the kind of people who likely blew their budget on the NAS chassis thinking everything would work fine long-term when they slapped some cheap used desktop hard drives into the box. The shitty drives eventually die, and they blame Synology for their own bad hardware choices. That’s not an issue I struggle with, though, so I’m just thinking I’m no longer Synology’s target customer.
These days I’d recommend just building your own rig if you can swing that. And if you do go with a prebuilt chassis, for fuck’s sake don’t just slap any old hard drives in there!

I’d guess someone with that mentality started making crotch spawn at 16 or 17, perpetuating a genetic line that will continue to be about as useful to society as an indoor kite. The Stupid breed like rabbits.

Could be a Lemmy.Zip thing, then. Would be nice if the people who run instances would also consider how their personal hosting choices effect sharing across the wider internet. I get us tech nerds have our respective preferences for obscure formats for various reasons, but we really should be playing somewhat nicely with other environments if we want to attract users.

Tested uploading an image reply in browser and Voyager, and they both seem to upload in webp. Perhaps a lemmy.zip instance thing?
- Comment on I love science 3 weeks ago:
When I try to use the built-in share feature, it’s sharing it as a .avif file. Wonder if it’s specific to the app I’m using (Voyager). Something I’ve only noticed happening recently.
Either way, good content at least!

sigh Great, another format I have to wait for other apps to support if I want to share the memes. And webp was finally getting to the point where it wasn’t annoying the fuck out of me.

Never really thought about it before, but is there a reason for the distinction?

That site needs to pick a font and stick with it.

And it won’t even be the stuff that at least sounds nice like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Oh no, it’s going to be hymns sung by backwoods Baptist church choirs. The ones too small for the blended sound to make up for their hopelessly out of tune joyful noises.

Dammit Doll
Wherever things don’t go so well,
And you want to hit the wall and yell,
Here’s a little Dammit Doll,
That you can’t do without.
Just grasp it firmly by the legs
And find a place to slam it.
And as you whack the stuffing out
Yell “Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!”
- Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building? 2 months ago:
Telecom exchange. We got one kinda similar in KCMO, although I’d guess there are actual offices for people in the lower half of the building since it’s got windows.

- Comment on Who got raptured today? 4 months ago:
Occurring over a couple of days? Guess that finally answers my question in whether the rapture would happen planet-wide all at once, or go by time zones.
