This is about four hours after we brought him home from the RSPCA. A little over 2 years old, and is the goodest boy.

We are in the planning stages of setting up an aquarium. I last had fish about 25 years ago in another country, so I’m having to catch up on what’s happened in that time along with figuring out what brands/suppliers are available.

Planning to start with about a 60L tank, tropical aquascape-ish with tetras or rasboras and some shrimp/corys/a pleco/whatever. Eventually we’d like to branch out into saltwater/reef, but that’s well into the future when we’re firmly committed to making that leap.

We’ve visited Aquarama in Stafford and liked the shop. Do you have any preferred or recommended shops that might be better?

But it’s worth the drive to go stay at SeaWorld for a few days.

Good thing we got the annual pass.

So, I had to go nuclear and I’ve ended up with only a singular cloud backup of what was a Synology DS 412+.

The backup itself is through the Synology Amazon Glacier app.

I’m looking to ultimately move the data away from both Amazon and Synology.

My question then falls into two parts:

1. Am I able to extract said archive from Amazon without using the Synology app?

2. If the above is not possible, am I able to run the Synology os on hardware not from Synology itself?

I do understand the data extraction can end up being pricy even at a mere 12TB. I’m okay with that. That’s the price we’ve accepted for making it easier to move across the world.

So, I’m notoriously bad at exfoliating my face. I’ve never really been a fan of the mechanical scrubs, and I normally have facial stubble. I intermittently use one of the green Korean exfoliating cloths on my nose and forehead.

I’ve been seeing enzymatic exfoliators here and there, and was curious if they’d be worth a try.

Any commentary, recommendations, etc?

A blast from the past.

Cyberdyne Systems, Wayland-Yutani Corporation, Tyrell Corporation, or Arasaka Corporation? Something else?

Was a fun special shape to see.
