Newer TerraMaster models also come with an internal USB port and flash drive that can be replaced. They’re basically an Intel NUC with a storage controller. I’ve got the F4-423 on my shopping list for when my Synology DS-415+ finally dies.

This I never understood. I have 3 different RPis running since they were available to buy. A 2, a 3 and a 4. All with the OS on microSD and no optimisation like writing log files to tmpfs or similar. It’s plain Ubuntu Server for ARM. And in

And watch out for weird pseudo-USB-C chargers. I’ve read about some cheap power tools being sold with “USB-C charging”. But they merely used the plug as a selling point. The AC adapter was a bog standard one and always sent 12V to the USB-C

Download the app “Mimi Hearing Test”. It allows you to do a quick test using your AirPods. And the results you can upload in your iPhone’s accessibility settings. So the phone will increase frequencies you don’t hear well. You can also set

Tapatalk was/is great to heighten the experience in that regard. But I’m not sure whether it is still supported with recent versions of forum software. Also many admins didn’t like it as people using Tapatalk didn’t produce ad impressi

This! I hate when an app's GUI is following Windows-principles (if at all) and the macOS version is basically the same with a macOS theme slapped on top of it. About 10 years ago I've experimented with an early version of appceler

For Python programs, a mere FUSE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libfuse-t.dylib is sufficient. For other binaries, overwriting the libfuse*.dylib with the libfuse-t.dylib should work in the same way.

An “instance” here being just a walled-off process running inside its own chroot environment. IIRC Lemmy needs 4: frontend, backend, database and imagestore. It doesn’t need much resources when running, though.
