Fucking nosy ass neighbors, man.

I think this is the root cause. Anecdotal evidence to support:

I’m white, my parents are white, and they lived in a posh neighborhood outside DC. For 3 years, Dad was working/living in England, so my sister and I would check on the house and/or I would go up to DC for a long weekend (I was living in NC at the time).

I arrived on a Friday night, unloaded the car, and was cracking open a beer to relax… And there was a ring of the doorbell. It was the cops. They said a concerned neighbor called, I told them my parents were currently living in England and came up for the weekend. I ended up digging through paperwork of my Mom’s looking for something tying me to the address. While the cops were waiting, they saw multiple pictures of me and my sister hanging on the wall. They said “this will suffice. Enjoy your weekend.”

The neighbor apologized the next day and asked if I had bought a new car.

Looking to make the switch

Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any...

Did you encrypt your whole drive during Pop installation? If so, I’ve never found a good way to dual boot with an encrypted drive other than refind.

That looks an awful lot like what I have. I’m using the Lian Li PC-D600. I think I’ve managed to get my hands on one of the last ones in the wild. They aren’t even available used on eBay anymore.

What I like most about it (and the Tower 500 that you linked) is that the motherboard is on one side, and the drives are on the other. Keeping the drives cool is easy, I just upgraded the fans on my SATA backplanes and the case, and even under load the drives run very cool.

You can have this case when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

For Corsair - I’ve been very happy with ckb-next. github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next

It is pretty robust, allows remapping of key/button bindings, changing of RGB, DPI, etc. Their goal is to replace iCUE. Very robust for mice and keyboards, but they also list other hardware that it is known to work with in their wiki. Might be worth a look.

I use Cryptomator. Does exactly what you describe.

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

I might have to downvote you. After all that, you could probably afford one. Forget a RAID though.
