But it’s not just the cat. OP wants to track the foods the cat is eating and the allergens in the food, and then look for correlations and trends. You could manage most of that with a spreadsheet, but you’d have to update reference tables every time you add a new entry. OP wants something user friendly.

Perplexica? What sort of sauce goes with that?

For a minute I legit thought Italy had dropped a new pasta shape.

It’s also a strong indicator that companies are not doing enough to protect their own infrastructure. Production servers shouldn’t have third party software that auto-updates without going through a test environment. It’s one thing to push emergency updates if there is a timely concern or vulnerability, but routine maintenance should go through testing before being promoted to prod.

I remember learning that 3.5" disks were still called “floppy” disks, despite being rigid plastic. My teacher took apart a disk and showed us how the inside was a film, but all that did was encourage us to take apart the disks and make desk toys out of the springs.

Man, I remember when Zip Disks were a big deal and a GB was a lot of storage.

That’s a lie that assholes tell you in order to exploit your competence and effort.

You’re probably not the biggest asshole in the room. In my experience, the person making decisions (and the most money) is never the most qualified, most competent, most efficient, or hardest working individual. They are just the biggest asshole in the room. They’re willing to be loud and belligerently wrong, they’re willing to take credit for the accomplishments of others, they’re willing to shift blame onto someone else, they’re willing to demand everyone else work harder than they do, and they’re willing to demand far more than their fair share of the profit.

And they will be mollified by the rest because nobody is a bigger asshole. Most people just want to do their jobs, and don’t want to rock the boat. Competent people see opportunity to ride in the wake of the biggest asshole in the room.

If you ever watch Shark Tank, you’ll see they are masters of the craft.

Wait, who expected the acquisition to change the world?

I love that this exists, and thank you for introducing me to the site as well.

Good point, but let’s say you download 20 new movies, meaning rewrite to every block on the drive each week. That’s barely 1,000 write cycles a year, and we’re still talking about a hundred thousand write cycles, which would take 100 years. Even if you start seeing bad blocks at 10,000 write cycles, by the time the drives are wearing out, the cost of replacement drives should be considerably lower.

Yep, and it used to be free for personal use, although I don’t know if that’s the case anymore. Either way, I will highly recommend it.

The write cycles shouldn’t really be an issue for a home NAS because you’re not erasing and rewriting over and over. For commercial projects, where logs, security video, or rotating data needs to be stored and erased hundreds of thousands of times.

Is ngrok still a thing?

What do you use the Pi for now?

I had a bunch of Pi 3Bs sitting around, so I made piholes for a few friends and family, I made a dedicated MAME emulator that I never have time to play, and I gave one to each of my kids to learn about computers and linux. I also use one for work as a linux test environment for our software, but the 3 hardware doesn’t really keep up.

I would be very interested to read this in an article format, but I have zero interest in watching a video about it.

I haven’t done it myself, so I hesitate to recommend a specific project. But Carpi and OpenAuto are good places to start.

Why risk it? Build your own with a raspberry pi and a touchscreen.

Wait, I feel like I missed something important. Hannah Montana Linux?

Edit: It’s real. It’s really real.

17 Orangutans isn’t software, it’s just a bunch of apes I’m hosting in my basement server room. I trained one to answer level 1 trouble tickets, but manager said we need highly available maintenance processes. So, I got another container and put an orangutan inside it, and kept doing that until either we hit our KPI or we exhausted the budget.
