  • “Bon Jovi for Goth Dads” is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, that’s just Ghost.

    It’s very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.



  • Boston has a whole road that is the physical manifestation of Chaos.

    Storrow Drive. Runs along the Charles and is basically the northern border of the city. It has many underpasses, most of which are low enough to munch moving trucks. Every year around late Aug early Sept when college kids are moving in a few trucks get Storrow’d. It’s refered to as The Storrowing. It’s a fun time to need to get around the city.

    Honestly Storrow is one of the scariest roads in New England, and I used to drive every day to and from work almost the entire length of Memorial which is on the opposite bank of the Charles which is a NARROW four lane road (2*2), with a speed limit that is both probably too high and completely ignored, on top of being almost eternally congested. How I didn’t see a horrible wreck every day confuses me still.

    tl;Dr: Don’t drive in Boston unless your ready for some fun (I love the chaos)

    Sounds like my Unifi experience with the old CloudKeys that liked to brick themselves if the wind blew in a way they disliked. Everything still ran fine, but I couldn’t manage any of it till I factory reset it all. I think it ran like that for 3mo before I could be bothered 😅





  • QNAP at least used to make pretty powerful NASs. I had one with an older Xeon in it that I bought in like 2015 that at the time crushed Plex streaming. Not sure if they still do, I also moved to Unraid and will never look back, it’s exactly what I need and none of what I don’t (literally, raid. Don’t care about IOPs).

    Actually ran Unraid on the Xeon QNAP for a year or so before building my own box.



  • Can confirm Amon Amarth 100% not white supremacists, they have spoken out about how much they utterly despise they appropriation of their cultural heritage for racist purposes.

    Buying their merch is super tricky as a white dude who lives in New England. Was at their show recently and most of their shirts have giant Mjolnir on them, and YOU and I know it isn’t being used by racists, but a random on the street wouldn’t 😅. Did end up with a rad hoodie with stylized Geri and Freki though.





  • When adding/removing disks you do have to rebuild parity, but it’s not the end of the world and it handles it automatically. I run parity checks pretty often anyway (every other week) and it takes the same amount of time.

    I just like the Unraid UI and Docker implementation tbh. I used to run everything off Portainer/Compose on my QNAP which was great, but these days I am lazy and having an Update All button is 🤌
