not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
Says on the product page that that Beelink supports a maximum 2TB SSD, so I wouldn’t go buying another unless you’re sure it can.
As others have said, no USB drives as I’ve had a failure with one too hence me now having a NAS. I know you said you’re allergic to spending money but saving up for one was the best thing I’ve bought for a while.
Main thing is Capt, you’re here to tell us your best stories.
Tell us your most favourite food please, and how you came across it? Mine’s carbonara and an Italian girlfriend who loved that shit.
Ya know, it is kinda ironic these days with the great views 1 mile each way and the cheaper prices compared to the rest of our homeland :p
Obligatory
I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.
And it kinda rhymes.
I’d posit those numbers are much, much higher, and some guys who used to do our Megathreads over in r/Android now keep getting random bots commenting against months, even

I spotted em years ago over in their many test subreddits and reddit actually outsourced them as a QA testing.
I had to leave VirginMoney because the lady on the phone told me I needed an iPhone to reset my password (seriously) even after trying with three separate Android devices.
There’s no desktop functionality (mobile is king with them) and it amazed me that day I had to use the Current Account Switcher to go to an equally meh banking service.
Sorry state of affairs across all mobile apps to be honest and as seen by the prevalence of MDM and accessing data Vs doing the very same, on a desktop “PC”. Why the data is more precious on a mobile device to them is telling…
Having a Rasp Pi 3/4 with Tailscale installed made it idiot proof for me.
Hell, I gave a spare pi to a family member which means I have off site storage and also get to VPN straight into their network to help them out (they technophobes and have no idea what’s happening). If I can do it, you can.
I simply use Tailscale and a family members router / AP which take SDcards to have a backup of my onsite backup, off site.
And then use Mega + Proton drive for backing up the really important things so things are in three (four if you include my phones photo storage) separate places.
Never again am I falling to disks failing, and paying so much to the cloud peeps kinda irks me especially when they can just shut up shop like UbuntuOne did.
Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.
aka, the lurkers 👀
I’ve always upvoted both posts that are on topic to the community and always to people who take the time out of their day to reply.
It’s like common courtesy to me and votes are like free confetti anyways.
So I suppose the OP’s figures are, off.
I for one don’t find young people to be attractive
I’m curious where this statement came from since I don’t see any context other than you trying to call the OP names?
Could you expand please?
Hey John.
I’m sorry, but we’ve had to remove this post and you’re better trying in the dedicated community over in !askandroid@lemdro.id
Cheers!
Messaging others is not “social media”, and you conflating that with using a messaging app is fairly telling.
I don’t intend to nor use iMessage.
And I’m conveying your blind spot which seems to be that you can’t function in this society without WhatsApp, which I’ve done since its inception.
And I’m sure I will perform equally well as yourself and others going into the future without it.
That’s the thing…I do understand your qualms about having to use them even if it irks you no end because you’re ‘now not a weirdo’, and having run establishments prior to these days I find it amusing that you’re now required to indulge in sharing your contact list because it’s the “norm”.
Which is awesome because I somehow manage to keep in touch with fellow friends, colleagues, family and even talking to others on platforms such as this without conglomerates poking my metadata too as much.
edit: too > as
And that’s why if I was self employed I’d use another phone entirely or promote the usage of some other way of contacting me/us. Never would I have WhatsApp installed on my personal device (Dual SIM and all) since it’s my choice, which I can make.
Peer pressure, social norms, and even “bosses demanding you join their WhatsApp to communicate” is a non starter here.
I think it annoys my immediate boss that I use our corporate email for everything, or even simply calling them telling them the most menial of things.
It is an option, believe me, you’re just doing what your employer tells you to.
But they can’t force you to use WhatsApp unless you signed a contract of employment stating so? And if you did that the onus falls on you.
You can’t get rid of Whatsapp.
Very true, but you can also never ever give them your number and then get funny looks from friends, colleagues, and pretty much everyone in the UK.
I for one am proud of getting those funny looks.
Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.
The art of ignoring is key ;)
but I have nothing against the users.
Absolutely, and in 12+ years of using reddit the only accounts funnily enough I’ve had to block are admin accounts, and I liken the above to users from other subreddits being able to able to interact in other subs until they either
get banned by the sub /c/ mods
individual users using the block function
Tarring users from instances is like using that SaferBot bullshit which I’ve never liked.
Nah.
USB is slow, and will kill the drive if used 24/7. I know it’s hard to expend too much money on a dedicated box for storage but long term you’ll thank yourself for investing.
3TB of data I lost and paying to recover that data? Dammit, hindsight is a bitch
