Don’t get me wrong: You’re 100 % entitled to your preferences and your definition of a hobby.

It was just unusual for me to equate a hobby with putting effort and perseverance into something. For me a hobby is something you simply do for your enjoyment in your free time on a more or less regular basis.

But hey: Definitions differ.🤷

Since when is “mastering it” part of the definition of a hobby?

I get that but why is traveling not a hobby?

Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

That’s a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!

This is particularly directed at my wife 💋

I’ve read that you’re trying for minimal resource overhead.

Is lighttpd still a thing? Back in the day I used it to deliver very simple static Http pages with minimal resource usage.

I found a docker image with like 4 mb size but being two years old I don’t know how well maintained lighttpd is these days.

Interesting. Do you know how Cosmos handles storage and especially RAID?

Black Swan is about a ballet dancer who, driven by the demand to perfectly play the lead role in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, descends into madness.

It’s with Natalie Portman and a truly amazing movie. I absolutely recommend watching it, even when you’re not into ballet.

Edit: To be honest just watch Joker too. It tells the story of Joker becoming the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job playing the role. It’s completely different from any DC / Batman movies and probably not what you’d expect from a movie that plays in this universe.

Both movies are great psychothrillers.

Although the mentioned tools are great I don’t know how your comment applies to OPs problem. They are asking for a tool to manage their server and not for a tool to automate their torrenting.

CasaOS is great for very simple (basic!) container management and easy creation of basic shares but it doesn’t offer any tools for RAID management and is only single user oriented so it doesn’t have any access control built in to it’s Samba shares. These features might come in the future though.

I don’t know Yunohost but I’d recommend you Openmediavault. It’s Debian based, offers tools for managing RAID, Docker, Shares, Users, , Access control Lists, Updates and much more.

It’s actually amazing and in active development.

How is this a technical issue? Seems like your hard drive is working fine?

I am more worried about whether Topton can build a functioning motherboard than about whether they spy on me.

Thanks for your reply! Which board do you have?

Exactly! In the past, I would have chosen the red pill to change decisions that I made in the past. But today there are some things in my life that are not directly the result of conscious decisions, but that I would not want to miss.

Hmm maybe I had bad luck but I won’t dare to try again because the experience was so bad.

For me it’s toner for printers: I have a Brother laser printer at home that is not heavily used but at least once a week. I thought I’d save some money when I bought some cheap ass toner from Amazon that cost about half of what a original Brother toner costs and promised something like double the capacity.

Oh boy… I had the worst mildly infuriating two years of printing you could imagine: always disappointed of the printing quality but not THAT disappointed to replace this shitty but still at 2/3 capacity toner. I paid money for that toner so I’d squeeze every last page of shitty quality prints out of this fucking toner!

Last week I gave up and bought an original Brother toner and it’s a bliss. 🙄

Which movie is it?

Wow that’s a really amazing answer and you sound like a great prof!

Can you tell us a remarkable example where you learned that students today have different need than you had in the mid 2000s?

Is it some kind of generation gap or were you just an extraordinary student when you were studying?

Hey, of course I don’t know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.

I don’t know where you’re located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called “Kleinanzeigen” (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.

Also on our big instrument online shop “thomann.de” you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.

Long story short: Don’t give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.

Do you honestly not have a single dollar or euro to spend on an instrument? Instruments don’t have to be expensive and you can find beginner instruments that are exceptionally cheap.

What instrument would you like to learn and how much could you realistically afford to do so?
