Thanks for the reply! I have a couple USB 3.0 2-drive docks that just sit out in the open - consolidating in to a single, enclosed unit with a fan would be nice (since mine or open, you really hear the HD spin up/click when accessing it).

What do you use to adjust your drives’ spin down? hdparm? hd-idle? I have one drive that is constantly spinning/accessed so the thermal concerns with the unit do weigh on me.

Reviews on that page are kind of dodgy, but they are for all 3 products listed which makes it difficult to tell which review is for what.

Have you had any of the listed issues? Heat, unrecognized success, etc?

This is dumb. Pad Thai is not a spicy dish in Thailand.

Ask for some som tam with that text.

Not entirely. Sony has been releasing games to PC.

How old are they?

I loved Tribes. The verticality, the freedom of movement, the timing of slow moving projectiles. It’s one of the few multiplayer FPS that I sunk time in to and got quite competent at.

The only other game to scratch the freedom of movement itch in the same way was AVP2, playing as the Alien (wall walking, pouncing across the map, etc) though obviously it didn’t have a lot of the same features.

Tribes is so far behind me that I don’t remember any of the people, servers, etc that I played on, but I do remember my nick: Guy In The Sky.

As others mentioned… Mods. I frequently played Renegades, but I believe HaVoC was my favourite.

Oh, and PlanetTribes/PlanetStarsiege? F.

Oh my goodness. Thank you, checking this out.

I think “Renegades”?

Biodegradable silicone would be kinda cool.

That said, the 2 months wait and uncertainty of products seems to be a thing of the past (based on the things I purchase, not like I’m ordering skinny jeans), as most stuff arrives in 2 weeks and hasn’t made it to the trash.

Though Canada Post being on strike is likely to bugger that up.

[Edit] I stand corrected - AliExpress packages just came through, ordered 10 days ago.

I looked at ordering a soldering mat to support them, but couldn’t justify $50 when aliexpress was selling them for $3.

Having a toddler, I totally understand what dog owners go through.

Yeah I’m really curious where the difficulty lies. Nextcloud was one of the earliest, if not the first, services that I deployed on a server when learning about Linux/Docker from scratch. The evolution of my setup has mostly been through my better understanding of container management practices than through anything Nextcloud specific.

My only Nextcloud specific issue has to do with the implementation of a reverse proxy (NPM) breaking the ability for my Nextcloud and OnlyOffice containers ability to connect - and I’ve not been so fixed about it that I haven’t really sat down trying to figure a fix.

Think of all the effort you spent when you could have just waited 36 years to watch a video compilation instead.

Good looking out. Had this one on epic but this will be easier to get on the deck.

I think the CEO firing you meant that he wasn’t bluffing.

I’ve experienced this on pixel devices. I’ve found the solution is to force stop the pixel launcher when it happens.

Bit of awkward phrasing, but the commentator was not talking about Steam exclusivity - rather having it available on Steam (in addition to wherever else it was available).

Clearer wording may be “if only it had been on Steam”.

Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).

Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).

I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.

What.cd and BitGamer were the two private trackers where I really put in effort not just to seed but to contribute unique uploads.

I stepped away from torrenting for awhile and when I returned both were ashes.

Edit- what are the two good music trackers you’re referencing?
