Chai and kitties, 2 of my favorite things

I’d upvote twice if I could

The OP though, lol

A loaf of wegmans rosemary bread

That’s an awful great Charlie. Looks just like my Charlie, hahaha.

What if I told you you could get another cat?

He would let you. Easily the friendliest and most needy cat we have. He won’t leave you alone until you pick him up for a hug and scratch.

I’m not sure he’s a Turkish Van, I think he’s just a regular American Shorthair. His back has large splotches of orange, he’s not all white, despite looking so.

Probably “big food dumbass”

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

Hard disks, WD/HGST.

I’ve had good luck with EMC and NetApp for enterprise solutions, Synology for SMB class NAS storage, and rely on TrueNAS/ZFS on supermicro hardware at home, which has been rock solid for years and years.

Type 1 runs on bare metal. You install it directly onto server hardware. Type 2 is an application (not an OS) lives inside an OS, regardless of whether that OS is a guest or a host, the hypervisor is a guest of that platform, and the VMs inside it are guests of that hypervisor.

I got to play Pong on one of those original, first edition cabinets. A local museum has one of the originals. It’s really cool!

Was about to say. This is pretty well known science. A dash of salt in coffee will de-bitter it. I would only assume the same goes for tea. Being a tea drinker I have yet to try it, but next time I have a bad cuppa, I’ll have a go at it.

You misspelled beans :)

So far

Hydrogen is not currently a green energy. Green means the energy is produced in a manner which causes no harm to the environment. About 4% of all current hydrogen is “green”. Global supplies are manufactured with natrual gas (47%), coal (27%), oil (22%), and electrolysis (4%). According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, at least.. Huh.

I guess I’m not really attacking a green energy, am I? I mean, I wasn’t before, but still. Discussing the difficulties of hydrogen at industrial scale isn’t attacking it, no matter how bad it hurts your feelings. It’s simply fact we cannot ignore.

I’ve never heard a single naysayer claim solar or wind were impossible. Like, ever. This is pure unsupported, anecdotal nonsense.

Unless you have factual support for your rebuttal that is relevant to the topic, you have lost my attention.

No point has been missed. I’m not mocking anybody. Look at the tech required. It’s easy to see why this fuel source has not come to fruition, yet we have fields upon fields of wind and solar tech. None of which I ever riduculed, personally.

This isn’t a personal attack. Again. Ridicule has nothing to do with discussing facts. On that note, have a great day.

I am a big proponent of solar and wind. Both need to be taken more seriously. Both are far better long term energy options than hydrogen no matter how you look at it. So no, this is not more BS from the fossil fuel industry, regardless your take.

I seriously doubt hydrogen will be a viable long term fuel source outside of very specific applications.

Even with the best production methods, we still can’t store it well long term. It causes embrittlement and corrosion to metals, and since the atoms are about as small as atoms get, it’s very hard to contain in a pressure vessel without leaks or metal impregnation. Making it and using it aren’t the big issue. Storage is.

In some cases it renders less in the game, making the game easier, too.

That name is fucking awesome.
