Just use the OptiPlex for everything. The RPi lacks the horsepower, and storage capability.

I’m currently using a 7 year old OptiPlex SFF as a NAS, backup point, media converter, and media server. I’ve upgraded the storage drive to 8TB.

I do have another old NAS I use only to duplicate my data store locally (I keep 3 local copies of data, and a cloud backup).

The OptiPlex draws 15w at idle, about 85w when converting video. My NAS draws about 5w at idle. I initially tried serving media from the NAS, but it’s performance is frankly abysmal. Instead I run Media Monkey, Jellyfin, and another media server on the Dell, which has no problem streaming to my crappy Samsung TV (not using an app, just the crappy built-in DLNA client) It works even better with decent devices, like my phone, laptop, iPad.

Your biggest concern with that Dell is the power consumption. As I said, mine happens to draw 15w at idle - I got lucky

What are the specs on your OptiPlex? Is it a mini tower or SFF? That would help more than just telling us the model.

Depending on your sensitivity to failures (drives die) I’d get 2 data drives for the Dell and mirror them, using the current drive just for the OS.

You’ll need to direct that port for the given service in the router control panel.

For your current server you have a port forwarding for that port already. Just add a port forwarding rule for the new service.

Really depends on where you are.

Sun-heavy areas, long sleeves, long pants, hat.

In low-humidity environments, adding moisture to the air can help cool, which is why evaporative coolers work in places like southwest US/arid regions.

When out boating, my friends give me a hard time because I throw on a synthetic long sleeve shirt while on the boat with a real hat.

That’s an Android thing - to get location data for the map, you need the network permission.

I know, it’s fucked up - it was made this way in about Android 12.

All I hear anymore is “Russia Russia Russia”.

Note the world “allegedly”.

Look, there’s all sorts of stuff going on, but this constant boy crying wolf just inures people to the claims.

Ahh, now there’s a twist - maybe media/power brokers playing both angles.

Global opinion?

Right?

They’re only about 15 years behind

You got the upvote for the Princess Bride quote!

Yep.

I went from Verizon ($200/mo for 2 lines) to Xfinity ($80/mo for 2 lines) to JMP.chat ($7/mo for 2 lines) to US Mobile (still about $18/mo for 2 lines). I still have JMP as my cell provider for the SMS-to-XMPP bridge (my sms comes through XMPP), and just have US Mobile for data. My current monthly is still about $20/mo for 2 lines with 10gb of data. Additional data is $4 for 2gig if I go over.

Frankly in the US now US Mobile is hard to beat. Their unlimited plan is $45/mo,and they have coverage on every carrier (my phone will switch to the dominant local carrier wherever I go, and it’s usually 5G).

This is why I buy a used phone 1 or 2 model years behind.

You’d be surprised how much of a discount you can get when someone upgrades.

I’m currently running Pixel 5, and I own three of them for less than any new phone. This gives me the ability to have a hot spare/test device.

Fine, Dad, take my upvote.

What?

Which means a leak would be “relatively clean” water getting all over the place.

Just doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Also, are we talking using this water in chiller cooling towers, like most buildings use? So essentially heating that “relatively clean” liquid to about 100° or so (you know, a temp that microbes just love), and releasing it to the atmosphere.

Yea, I wouldn’t expect to be able to kill either of those - they’re kind of necessary for the system.

Something is requesting activity from them. When did this start? Is the timing related to a new app or a change in the system?

$2700??

Cant you just find a psychologist and schedule an appointment for a lot less than $2700? Like $250?

Potential conflicts of interest, no “smoking gun” as headline implies… Yet again.

Do I trust Telegram? No.

But there’s less evidence of wrongdoing at the moment by orders of magnitude than WhatsApp, etc.

I do appreciate the conversation, but holy hell the same connect-the-dots is never made about WhatsApp. Makes me wonder who’s pushing these stories.

Good journalism would cover the issues with all the mainstream comm systems.

Ones hot, ones not

Also, if you think they’re the same, you should study world religions sometime.

Check out courses by The Teaching Company, they cover all major religions (about 20 last I checked.) These are courses as taught in major universities, about 300 level.

Plus it just seems like a network cable. A bit of security obscurity.

There are small filters that hang hoses over the side.

You’ll spend more running the filter, treating the water (and testing it) than simply replacing it.

From my own pool experience the smaller the volume, the harder it is to keep balanced. Even a 12’ pool can be a challenge.
