Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.

The manufacturer can save money by not including grills and if the speaker gets damaged they will make more money when you buy a replacement speaker.

Not a lawyer, but there are lots of intricacies to this. You can own a trademark without having it be a registered trademark. Registration is expensive and then you are expected to actively defend use of your trademark. Be prepared to pay lawyers to send cease-and-desist letters to parties using your trademark for financial profit. Not to mention you have to be/become a business engaging in interstate commerce using this trademark.

The instructions for my smoke detector recommend spraying the openings with compressed air regularly.

Do you have an auxiliary power connector hooked up to the HBA? Here is the manual.

Play slowed down African elephant noises on the stereo as you drive on wet roads.

One of my favorite useless skills!

oof, nearly 3k for that model (assuming B020-U16-19-IP)

MergerFS + Snapraid is a really nice way to turn ext4 mounts into a single entry point NAS. OpenMediaVault has some plugins for setting this up. Performance wise it will max out the drive of whichever one you are using and you can use cheap mismatched drives.

Agreed, don’t do what I do if you value your power bill. To be fair, my network switch pulls more power than my cobbled together server anyhow.

Depends on what your server is running. Multiple GPUs, HDDs, and other fun items start to add up to well over 100W. I justify it by using it to keep my 3d printer filament dry.

There was a programming search engine called Symbol Hound that allowed for searching for special symbols like << and &&. It was my fallback search engine while programming if I couldn’t find something on the first page of Google. Sadly, that site appears to have disappeared. Does this search engine have optional support for special characters?

You can also build your own custom SATA power cables with some crimp connectors.

Hack is my go to font as well, I’m sure part of that is due to it being well supported and easy to remember. Plus the lack of spaces in the name makes for less escape characters or quotes when defining it in config files.

The small but critical feature I look for in a font is a clear differentiation between the characters I, l, and 1.

The technical datasheet for Loctite 404 is surprisingly detailed.

You can get PoE to USB adapters as well which simplifies wiring to random IoT hubs you may have.

A used Thinkcenter Tiny off eBay is cheaper than a NUC and has better performance than a Pi. HP and Dell have similar tiny PCs that are inexpensive used. A separate NAS would probably be best, but you could start with a USB 3 external drive and shuck it later.
