I can't remember the steps (they were simple though) but when my Home Assistant raspi SD card died, I bought a 128gb SSD from AliExpress and a usb-sata cable.

I then did something to the pi that meant it can boot from the SSD, and flashed the SSD using Balenetcher or RUFUS or whatever (same program I was using to flash my SD cards basically).

Then it was just a case of plugging in and turning it on.

Runs exactly the same as with an SD card with less dying because SD cards aren't meant for a lot of read/write but SSDs do.

As a shop floor guy I identify with what you're saying and if you're not in one get in a Union.

But those guys do all the paperwork and business shit. If they don't do it right then it can blow holes in the business, which pays your wages.

For example, this week has been a shit show at work because the IT crisis happened. This has meant parts that we need haven't arrived, and lines have shut down.

Management have had their heads up their arse trying to keep shit running, sending folk home on holidays, hell lads are taking time off unpaid rather than bum around doing "preventative maintenance"

Someone has gotta make sure all that shit works out and it ain't me. I've just got to get the parts out when they're there.

All I'm saying is that in a good company there's less "Us and Them" everyone has a role that's recognised, and individuals are judged on their work rather than their position. You can have good and bad CEOs and Forklift Drivers

I used to go to a metal club in my small town in Yorkshire, England, and get drunk and dance to stuff like this.

I also used to get beaten regularly because of the way I dressed.

So when Limp Bizkit played a gig last year in my small town in Yorkshire I had to go. It was fucking mental and I loved every second of it.

This year Korn are playing, can't wait

How do I avoid Hoarding? Well I have a total of 2.75tb of space, so when it gets a bit full I go through and delete shit we watched already so I have space for more stuff

Me too, except it's Adguard for me.

Came in handy yesterday actually. I have a friend who works for a University which was recycling some Chromebooks.

He managed to grab 3 for me, one for myself and one for my kids.

Problem is that one of my kids is being supervised through Google Family Link which means for some reason the Play Store won't work.

So he is now unsupervised in Family Link just to get the Chromebook working.

So I've just given both my kids static IPs and pointed their Chromebooks at Adguard, then turned on Safe Search and adult content blocking.

Now I'm fairly confident they're protected from a lot of the bad shit on the internet.

When I die my friends will miss me like usual. Then the Plex server will go down and they'll miss me all over again.

I've passed my display through to a VM in Proxmox for transcoding and now I can't get the GUI for that VM.

Is this something that would allow me to connect to that VM on another PC and use a virtual desktop?

If so, I may have to have a play with it. I mean I'm happy away using SSH but why not have UI if I can?

Good to know, I'll turn it off when I get home from work, thanks
