Yepp, normally would be a bummer but it is still under warranty. That said I had no idea how long that process is going to take (Seagate has the drive atm), so I wanted to swap it with a new one then just add whatever Seagate sends back on top of my pool (only around 70tb! Need a better NAS chassis…) but 18tb Exos have shot up $100 since I bought one last year. Found a different random brand (shout out diskprices.com!) for the same as old price, slapped that in, parity(cus Unraid) rebuilt.

Just waiting on the warranty drive, then I get to rebuild parity again.

If I didn’t find that cheaper 18tb may have been enough to tip me towards decommissioning it.

I can +1 for Stremio+Debrid (RealDebrid is just one provider for those that haven’t dove in)

I would argue this is one case where FOSS shouldn’t be priority #1, unless you really want to spend the time, effort, and (most importantly in 2026) money to maintain a NAS, in which case the *arr stack + Usenet and Jellyfin are great. But you really can’t understate how much of a rabbit hole dealing with the entire thing can be. For the most part, Stremio just works and well enough I can send a guide to normie friends and they could follow along and get it running in like half an hour.

I do a hybrid approach, I own blurays of anything sentimental or low bitrate destroys (think Redline, XFiles (so much low/dim light low bitrate makes it look like a pixelated mess)), have a large collection of older media on my Unraid NAS (typically the Achilles heel of the Stremio/Debrid setup is anything that isn’t at least semi popular), and stream the rest w/Stremio. Works out to like $60/yr for Debrid/Usenet. I did just lose an 18tb drive in my NAS which really made me think hard if it was worth continuing with, but for now decided to keep it.

…your talking about what I’m thinking right? I’m not just a massive pervert right? Please 😅

I used to entertain myself on long bus ride into school watching the antiSkip bars go down when we hit bumps. Good times.

Also popping the plastic window off my cd player so I could stick a sharpie through and make cool swirly patterns on it while it played (only ever on burned discs, purchased ones were precious lol)

Israel wants to be a Jewish ethnostate, but only the Jews they deem to be the “Good” ones

Saying Hamas is antisemitic is sure fire sign of being a Zionist.

Palestinians are a semitic people.

If you want to saw that Hamas hates Jews, well, when your entire life has been being bombed by planes with stars of David on them, while jackbooted thugs with stars of David on their shoulder kick in your door to kidnap your family members in the night, and settlers with star of David necklaces show up and claim your home and land by divine right, I can start to see where you develop feelings toward the people who carry the same sign.

Maybe, just maybe, if Israel wanted the world to be a safer place for Jews they would stop associating a genocide with Judaisim as they are so fucking desperate to do.

This wooshed over your head so hard and fast I’m surprised your windows didn’t blow out from the pressure🤣

99.99999% of the time libraries don’t want donated books. Honestly don’t know if they ever want them (outside of genuinely rare/interesting ones, and even then). Their collections are usually meticulously curated and are basically the children of whomever is currently responsible for them. Libraries throw away books at a prodigious rate as they wear, or their circulation numbers drop, or because they just run out of space.

Honestly I have no real issue with people destroying (most) books. It’s 2026 we have access to printers and presses, we can literally make more books on demand, and again for the V A S T majority of books that’s more than good enough (again, not counting anything rare/valuable/interesting but also at that point they kinda cease to become just “books” as the value is more tied than the object itself than the text within)

What I have a massive issue with is them hoarding this information, and/or very, VERY, likely breaking any licensing the book may be under. And on top of that seemingly doing a fucking horrible job at actually creating something worthwhile from this massive waste of man-hours and resources.

That was the Sasha Riley thing which is full of bonkers unsubstantiated claims.

Mine used to play fetch with qtip sticks. I would pull the cotton off the ends and it was easily her favorite toy/games for years before she got fat and old lol

I hear the ocean has a lot of open building space, just drop them in the middle and watch them try and pull their Atlantian empire up by the bootstraps.

I own one of their (normal) vacBeds. Woman who runs it is a sweetheart, and she hand makes them to order.

Their expensive, but honestly if you look at prices on latex sheeting that is both wide and thick enough to handle the stress without ripping constantly, her labor is only a small piece of the price.

I can’t wait till we have videos of this fuck being pulled behind a truck before being strung up in a tree.

Yes, yes they did.

Weird way to spell Debrid but not my setup 😘

Woof, also it did happen a second time also with a Roboroc that was supposed to be able to avoid cat shit 😬 Luckily the second time just was in the wheel missed the brushes entirely!

Same. But I got half an hour into picking cat shit out of the workings when I asked myself wtf I was doing and threw it away. Granted it was a cheaper Neato.

See: The sqlLite Code of Ethics aka The Rule of StBenedict, specifically 42&43:

42. Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself.
43. Recognize always that evil is your own doing, and to impute it to yourself.

So you are not responsible for any good you do, that was God. The evil though, that’s all you champ.
