    Budget 0-20k New to NAS, looking for a cabinet

    Saw someone mentioned the CM K380, just wanted to say that that's what I used for my NAS and it's been mostly fine, though it does let dust in through its open back slots (which may be my fault, I may have punched them out by accident, don't remember). My primary concern was number of drives for...

    Think twice before buying from dBrand again.

    If I call you an idiot, and someone else robbed you of everything you own, do we both deserve the same punishment? Since they're both "offenses"? From what I understand of the free speech laws in the US/Canada, this would get laughed out of court unless they could make a reasonable case for...

    Think twice before buying from dBrand again.

    "Professionalism" would never demand monetary compensation if it was anyone else in this situation - the only reason money was involved here was because he was Indian or "PoC" as the white people call it. I'm not defending what they did, I'm saying the response to it is massively overblown. You...

    Do you understand the difference between "group A can be X" and "group A are all X" or "group A are mostly X"?

    Think twice before buying from dBrand again.

    Are we saying this is a good clapback? Because anyone who thinks flaming someone online is comparable to IP theft hasn't thought about it very hard. Honestly, I don't know why they gave him money - they should've just apologized for making fun of his name and moved on, maybe give him a free...

    Am I the only one here who doesn't think this is racist? You may think it's a dick move, and that's fair, but these guys make fun of literally everyone - that's their whole schtick and what makes their marketing so effective. Don't get me wrong, I think making fun of someone's name is pretty...

    search text file for lines present in another text file and redirect output.

    Something like this might work (on mobile so can't test): diff -u -d -c 0 input1.txt input2.txt This should give you the lines in input1.txt that don't exist in input2.txt and ignore the ones that have been "modified".

    Customs duty when buying from Amazon Japan

    How common is this? I've ordered from overseas quite a bit both in and out of India, and I don't think I've ever been charged customs by the site themselves - in fact, many of them explicitly say in their terms and conditions that they don't pay and are not responsible for the customs that your...

    Customs duty when buying from Amazon Japan

    On top of that, they used to pay the difference themselves if the amount came to more than they estimated. Don't know if they still do that, but it used to be mentioned on the checkout page for an eligible order, so if it does say anything on the checkout page, they probably don't offer it...

    User Review Flac vs Premium streaming services (Alac, Spotify etc)

    I believe foobar2000 has an ABX plugin that you can use for this, but I've never done it myself. I feel the same. There's a lot I don't know about this stuff, but what I do know has made me skeptical of many in the space.

    Need help in port forwarding (Airtel Xstream with Static IP)

    I've done this exact thing at work recently using Tailscale - main server behind a CGNAT, connected to WireGuard mesh, VPS also connected to mesh, and Caddy as a reverse proxy between the two. As for hardware requirements, it obviously depends on what your load but I've seen benchmarks of Caddy...

    User Review Flac vs Premium streaming services (Alac, Spotify etc)

    This may be a controversial thing to suggest in this thread, but to everyone saying they can hear the difference between FLAC/ALAC/WAV and 256/320kbps AAC/MP3: have you ever done a blind ABX test? This one here, for example - I don't think I've ever seen anyone pass it, and this includes people...
