I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

Thank you, I love the internet. Was discussing this with my roommate and didn’t know where else to ask!

Yeah it is ersatztv, you basically need a gpu for the ffmpeg encodings though. It’s fun if you get it to work, I have my face appear every hour at the bottom of the screen like a network logo.

I host my own iptv service to mimic a real channel but with my content. It’s amazing and we all love it.

It’s usenet, everything is zipped into hundreds of RAR files

I am, this is cool, thank you!

It’s hard to say since it’s all RAIDed out but they’re not SSD’s, I just didn’t have the space on the drive. But looks like I’m in the market for a new cpu, motherboard and NVMe drive now. Thanks for your input!

Interesting, I’m using a synology NAS in order to store lots of data, it should be relatively speedy but probably not compared to an onboard SSD. My SSD only has about ~100gb of free space so even using it as a temporary download center may not be right, looks like I’m looking into a terabyte nvme. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have not, I will give it a go, thanks!

I wonder what tech we have that can measure something that slow? Wouldn’t it just look stationary?
