I've got an older AMD bulldozer platform with 16 or so tb behind it. SMB serves up all of the media to Nvidia shield platforms running Kodi. Away, I'll wire guard in to my network to remotely access media and compute as needed. I'm a big fan of not running a bunch of integrations that would fail at a time I'm just trying to watch something and relax; IT support at home after doing it all day sucks.

The older I get, the more I don't give a fuck and just let go. Interstellar - when Cooper is watching messages from his son... Gets me every damn time.

This happened to me with a good friend. He wanted to stop listening, and admittedly I was on repeat (severe depression, major life changes coming and I couldn't cope properly) - but it has the effect of drifting us pretty severely.

I love the idea behind this. Overall I've been burned about 3 times in my home ownership time by committing to a brand like this. The brands seem to change batteries (voltage or connectors or both) on a 5 to 10 year cycle, meaning I either have to rebuild packs (fun with newer BMS etc) or deal with China sourced minimum lifetime packs. Even bigger things do this - but I did recently bought a Ryobi ride on mower that originally had lead acid that I covered myself to a single 48v lifepo4. Their newer ride ons have large 80v "packs" that I'm sure cost an arm and a leg for a proper "official" pack.

Holy hell, the shit the pants statement is so on point.

I'm fairly tall; just rented a Nissan Versa sedan and I almost fell uncomfortable extending the seat all the way back. Wouldn't want a child behind me, but it has surprising driver room for being a smaller sedan.

That's especially fun for those of us on motorcycles. I found a particularly horrible road to ride a sport touring bike on several years ago and would have loved this feature on osm.

I'm not your twin am I? I had mine out right before 20...

Guessing you're a male? Similar issue here too. Gets worse as you get older I've found.

They'll just be duped again into how it's the liberal's fault. I've lost my expectation that anyone may follow a course of logic once their mind is set.

I have a dual socket R620 with 256gb RAM that I never turn on (proxmox) and another box with a single xeon 1518d (esxi). Collapsing both down to a repurposed Sophos SG135 (atom c3558) with 32g ram, 512gb sata and a noctua fan (proxmox). I already use another sg135 running opnsense. I run mostly lightweight loads anymore (HomeAssistant, netbox, unifi controller) so I really don't need things turned on that have overkill horsepower. I have a separate file server that I need to upgrade sometime (old 4 core bulldozer amd) but it keeps chugging away.

I've resorted to a rewatch of shows prior to their new season launch. Wheel of Time is one such show I've done this with; also Arcane - there's so much to follow and my brain tends to just lose details over time for shows. I'll be watching Severance season one again soon.

 

Just a few tips for installing on a Sophos SG135 (and perhaps others in the Sophos family?) using the serial build via usb

  1. Sophos device starts at 38400,n,8,1 as com settings. OPNsense switches to 115200 after bios. If you set your session to 115200 prior to OPNsense taking over, this causes PuTTY to not be able to input keyboard characters until you kill and re-open the session. Something happens in the transition on either serial interface to cause problems.

  2. Perform the auto detection of interfaces. For some reason I got screwed up on the interfaces and couldn't for the life of me get LAN to come up to configure the box. I believe this was twofold: one, the interfaces were all down when I configured them - and two, that caused them to go into a state to where even if 'ifconfig' showed active as I moved my cabling around, pings would not work (LAN). Once I redid the usb live and utilized the auto detection feature properly, no issues occurred.

Hope this helps someone who may run into similar issues.
