When was the last time you used Linux? And what distro was it? Your complaints are a decade out of date.

When you say “impossible” does that mean even the voluntary violence is a no-go?

I know it’s an LTS version, but 5.15 is not exactly a new kernel release. It’s EOL next year. I’ve been on the 6 series kernel since switching from Windows, and have yet to have anything break on update.

Edit: also, that kernel release is less than a year after the 6800 xt was released. I’d imagine that newer kernels would have a whole bunch of bug fixes.

Like other people have said, it’s going to depend on what you want to do with the NAS. If it’s going to be a pure NAS (ie network storage only), then using onboard will be fine. If you plan on doing other things (home assistant, media server, etc), I recommend going the virtual machine + HBA route.

That’s a suspiciously specific guess.

I used a hodge-podge of chinesium parts and leftover drives to create a DAS system that hooks up to an HBA via DAC. I’m actually kinda surprised how stable it’s all been.

For future reference, there is the OpenLinkHub project that does RGB control for just about all Corsair products, and fan control if using one of the Corsair fan controllers. In my case, I needed it because RGB, but also in order to have my fan speed based on water temperature instead of CPU load.

Why? The company shouldn’t have to eat the cost just because you decide after the fact that you don’t actually want/need the item. The company should be liable for warranty claims, but not simple returns.

It says right in the article that it supports having up to 20 of these batteries in parallel, which gives you much more than 20kwh.

“International” person here. Obama was respected, even when we disagreed with his policies. Trump was widely ridiculed during his first term, and his voters have now been included in that ridicule for voting for him a second time. It’s going to take generations (if It’s possible at all) for the US to get back to the level of respect they commanded during the Obama years.

The war in Ukraine is solely the fault of Russia.

The rules of the English language have never had anything to do with making sense.

The only grammar thing that annoys the hell out of me is “on accident”. No idea why, it just really sticks out and bugs me when I come across it. I rarely mention it when I see it though, because I know that noone actually cares.

Depending on what your job is, you may never even meet the rich person you work for.

“Extensive manual reading” Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?

Maybe I’m the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don’t want my phone fast charging. It’s bad for the battery. I’ll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.

The point of USB-C wasn’t to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

Possibly out of the loop here, but what is Tabula Rasa?

Does it even matter if you wind up being a good person either way?

All jokes aside, why do people even bother with vi?

Never thought of that. In my use case, Transmission is running in a container on my server, so it only ever has one connection, and VPN and traffic management happens on my router.
