Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices
I own a Synology NAS. It’ll be the first and last one I buy. When I need an upgrade I’ll go back to building my own again.

YSK: In China, a growing number of people are avoiding Starbucks. Many prefer local owned brands. Starbucks corporate executives are angry about it.
Starbucks coffee is shit anyway. Support your local roasters and shops, or roast your own if you have the means. It’s a great and delicious hobby.

I don’t get what’s so wrong with paying for a service he finds useful. If everybody sailed the high seas, there would be zero content for you to watch.

I disagree with you. The story is amazingly written. Dialogue, character motivations, their fuck ups, everything is fantastic.

Coincidentally when I saw this post I was in the middle of roasting a batch.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

I’ve personally seen ads in the start menu. It was my last straw, convincing me to move to Linux full time.

Anyone else dealing with this, hiring freeze for new devs but more work/projects?

I haven’t touched an 850 or 856 EDI document in years and I‘m happy for that 😂

Comic Book Collection Manager?
I use komga for comic books and manga/manwha. It’s solid and syncs to tablet reader apps as well (I use tachimanga)

Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?

Constantine and Minority Report don’t belong on the list tbh. And I say that as a fan of the Hellblazer comics, and someone who doesn’t care for Tom Cruise.

What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

I host foregejo, but I have a small problem. I can’t get my ssh keys to work for cloning repos. I can’t only use https.

What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?

You forgot the Fastmail killer feature. Masked email addresses.

It’s not too complicated but you don’t get some things for free like with Synology. It require work to setup scripts for offsite backup for example whereas Synology has a backup app with a UI.
For storage, I used to run ZFS in a raidZ2 configuration. If you do this then I suggest having a cron job running a script that can alert you if the pool is unhealthy. This is again something that Synology does for free.
You could also look up trueNAS core and see if that’s something that fits for you.

That assumes the person using obsidian is a software dev or a sysadmin. Most users aren’t going to want the extra hassle, or they might be unable to do these things.

Wouldn’t pyre be the worst by sales numbers? I think your bias against roguelike’s is showing here.
Hades is massively popular and well liked by a lot of people.

Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN
Reply in thread
At least Sony had some justification. A new and expensive cell architecture. It was ground breaking for its time but cost too much.
Nintendo is giving us something the steam deck and other pc handhelds can do, and trying to charge $80 for games that will almost never go on sale. I can buy old steam titles for less than $10, show me an old Nintendo title that can ever sell for that amount. It’s just not a good enough proposition just to have access to a handful of $80 Nintendo titles.

Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything
Reply in thread
Software engineer here. You’re completely wrong. The amount of work it takes to maintain and extend functionality to existing software is even bigger than the original cost of building it.
Get some time understanding how software teams work and you’ll understand. There’s a reason C Suites are hoping AI generated code can replace developers. They can’t hire enough of them.

Which password manager to use?
Most here won’t like this answer. 1Password.
I’ve used it for years and it just works well for me. Finally convinced my spouse to also use it a couple of years ago. Switching is not an option since it took years of convincing to make that happen.
