Some videos show it appears to be a ballistic missle launch failure from a nearby launch site. The videos have not been verified. We likely won’t know for sure until after Iran’s regime falls.
Either way its a war crime, either the US/Israel struck a school, or Iran placed offensive missle launchers dangerously close to a school/city.
They need to make (most favoured nation status) illegal. Sellers should be free to set the price they want on any platform. If a seller can offer it cheaper on their own site, or on another platform, they should be allowed to.
Its that way with many technologies. The lead time on such research is long enough that market factors alter the viability by the time it is ready to get commercialized.
Quite often innovations from prototype technology can be transplanted into existing tech for part of the benefit, without having to build new production capacity. So the new technology does not commercialised, but the learnings from it does.
To be fair, Ubuntu is using older kernels than Debian these days. Ubuntu has become the old man of distro’s
You can still break your /etc folder. But many other folders are safe.
Personally I do both.
This is why you should setup daily snapshots of your system volumes.
Btrfs and ZFS exist for a reason.
I remember a time, when organization responded to such allegations with something like:
"We take the allegations very seriously, are conducting an investigation and will respond in accordance with out policies and laws.
These days everyone just goes directly on the attack and blames everyone.
This is exactly what Israel does when people are critical of them. They shout and call them anti-Semitic.
Its almost impossible to have allies with that attitude.
I am referring to voltage drop consistency over distance.
Say you are running two 15m cable runs for rear surround speakers. If you run very cheap cable, the amount of voltage, and thus volume, will not be the same across the two channels. In short runs, not enough to notice, but on longer runs you can.
But there is no need for super expensive cable. You just need something durable and consistent enough.
Spite is the only reason I would.
Or grind a slot in the screw and you can use a flat head screwdriver.
Be sure to upload the process and tag BMW with a FU.
The only reason for reasonable quality speaker cables, is so that you get consistant volume between left and right channels if the volume is the same. That and so they don’t break when you pull on them.
In my case, I setup a ZFS pool of my disks in my old desktop PC running Proxmox. Then I allocated some storage to an LXC container running Debian and Samba for file sharing.
In your case, since the QNAP already runs Samba, it would be best to run it directly on the NAS.
But if you want to do it for the learning experience, you can setup an NFS share on the QNAP and link it to the Proxmox. The Proxmox can then use the NAS for storage and you can have VMs or LXC contsiners use for virtual disks.
I am quite satisfied with the unifi ecosystem so far as networking and CCTV systems go. They are cloud enabled without being cloud dependent. Since the early 2025 networking update, their routers are pretty good now. The UDM SE is a pretty compelling router/POEswitch/NVR in the home context.
Their NAS ecosystem is still very new and I would not it a viable option yet. They are also leaning towards the vendor lock-in direction with drives. Its the same reason I would stay away from Synology and QNAP.
Personally, I run a old desktop as a NAS/homelab running Proxmox(FOSS based hypervisor). I run ZFS on it and its “fine”. It performs fine even with a mixed bunch of disks, provided you have them in pairs or groups of 3 that perform close to identically. I just run a Debian container on the Proxmox as my fileserver and a few VMs for homelabbing.
One player that works well in a home environment is UnRAID. It a Linux distor that runs on commodity hardware and handles redundancy with “just a bunch of disks” better than most. The UI is friendly to non technical users. The catch is that UI is commercial software. Many consider it a fair exchange for the convenience it brings.
Its was also Epsteins priority for his clients.
Maybe the US should lose it Veto power until it settles its outstanding bill.
I think 50 inch is about the upper end for what can fit on a desk, but a 42 inch is the upper limit for most. I used to have a 42inch 4k monitor ($400), but it broke and got discontinued. It was basically a 42inch IPS TV display.
I still miss that display.
Gaming would be done at 4k. It’s 8k for productivity.
Its a step in the right direction.
Not quite the aspect ratio I am looking for and the price is too eye watering.
What I want is an 8k 16:9 or 16:10 display for around double the price of a 4k display at the same price as a high end 4k TV (OLED or mini led)
Not on desktop use. Which is a market segment that is under served.
Would love to replace my 4x 1440p monitor setup with a 50 inch 8k TV setup.
While Naive, I think most Israelis would like to see a democratic Iran emerge from the death of the Theocracy.
