  • you have no idea what depreciation is I guess. and idk where you’re finding an apartment for 900$ a month that doesn’t want first + last + security deposit.

    is it possible that our situations are different? that not everyone has the same needs, is in the same location, or has your braindead math? or perhaps things have changed since you last moved?

    (in case it’s not obvious, that last paragraph is dripping with sarcasm. youre an idiot spreading misinformation at best. kindly go fuck yourself and enjoy the rest of your day)


  • I just moved. it was hella expensive.

    security deposit + first + last month: ~5k

    movers: ~850 (and don’t tell me movers are optional - my wife is disabled and I have a lot of chronic pain).

    uhaul rental + moving supplies: ~300

    so total that’s over 6 thousand dollars. that’s the same amount as if they increased the old rent by 500$ and we lived there another year.








  • take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

    faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

    when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.








  • well, of course it’s a problem. no one here is saying anything otherwise. all we’re talking about here is whether the typical “americans voting for known genocide supporters” applies here. and this is one of the rare cases where no, he genuinely wasn’t that person when he was elected.

    of course it’s a problem that we vote for people and people change. in a better world, we’d vote for ideologies, not people, because people change, but you’re arguing up the wrong tree in this particular case. in general, I really do agree with you, but that’s not really applicable here.





  • not the commenter your responding but yes with proper setup travel is no issue.

    I’ve never tried to host in the cloud so I have no input on that, but locally + tailscale is very doable and pretty dead simple to setup and manage.

    I would highly recommend the linuxserver.io docker image. with a modern cpu and the docker image, transcoding won’t be too much of an issue with most titles and only one or two users. my server has media only in hevc, so some clients need transcoding. my 3700k is perfectly fine with it.

    if you want to expose it to a domain you gotta be a little more careful, reverse proxy + an external auth provider like authentik at minimum is what I would suggest. fail2ban and anubis are also great ideas.
