Same here. Tried it out and it's been great for a few months. I was just about to get some family members set up using it.

I appreciate your hill. But several sources disagree with you.

Wikipedia: "In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid."

Oxford: "1. vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear."

Webster: "1.c: mechanical radiant energy that is transmitted by longitudinal pressure waves in a material medium (such as air) and is the objective cause of hearing"

Cambridge: "something that you can hear or that can be heard"

These don't seem to require the ear for the vibrations to be sounds in and of themselves. Only that it would be detectable by an ear if an ear were present.

Upon what do you base your assertion that it is the hearing of the thing that is the most essential requirement? (And given the thread I think it's perfectly reasonably for the answer to be something like "because it's my hill dammit!")

That's a great point. Water heaters heat hot water much more often than cold water. Maintaining the already elevated temperature.

That SATA port is what you need. You can use that to connect an external eSATA drive enclosure (external jbod).

For a clean install, get a SATA to eSATA adapter - the kind with an expansion slot plate. Something like a STCESATAPLT1LP. Unscrew the eSATA end from the plate, cut a matching hole in the PC case and mount the port to the hole. This is better than going straight from the internal port in my opinion.

It looks like you have a mini-PCIe slot as well, probably intended for WiFi. That may work with an mSATA to SATA adapter to give you a second port. Or it may work with an mSATA SSD. I would test with something cheap or get confirmation it works from other users of this PC before investing in an expensive SSD.

LibreNMS hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's very good. It does take some setting up, but its use of SNMP for data collection means that it's easy to collect data from a wide range of network hardware as well. A wide range of alerting is available.

The WiFi icon with good connection+ exclamation on Android means the connection to the access point is good, but you don't have a path to the internet. I would start by connecting a PC, wired, directly to your router. Make sure that's working. If not, get some specifics on what's failing and troubleshoot.

Then connect to the switch. Repeat. Then connect to an app, repeat.

Part of his Slav Epic

http://www.muchafoundation.org/en/gallery/themes/theme/slav-epic/object/221

It's a huge canvas (~6m x 4m), and makes a massive impact when you see it.

From that foundation page:

"The Slav Epic' cycle No.10: The Meeting at Křížky. The Magic of Words: Sub utraque (1419) (1916) Following his death at the stake for his teachings, Jan Hus became a symbol of the Czech fight against the immoral conduct of the Catholic Church. Increasing numbers of Czech clergymen began to turn their back on papal rule and to deliver their sermons in the Czech language. They were declared heretics by the Papacy and the Council of Constance ordered that they be removed from their parishes. Charles University in Prague was also closed to ensure that their teaching ceased. Riots ensued and Hus’ followers began to gather in remote places outside the city walls in order to mount their rebellion.

Mucha depicts the most important of these gatherings which took place at Křížky, south of Prague, on 30 September 1419. Koranda, a radical preacher, called on Hus’ followers to take up their arms to defend their faith. He stands praying on a makeshift pulpit facing the throngs of followers as they arrive at Křížky. The dark sky above announces the imminent devastation of the Hussite Wars."

Native speaker here. I agree with the others that "many" is correct.

Also, I only get 43 results for your first search, and 3,100,000 for the second.

AT&T is the same. And the last time I looked they don't give you enough address space to host your own subnet. You get a /64 instead of a /56. And it's slower than ipv4.

Every few months I try it out, complain and then switch it off.

I tried draw.io, but ended up liking LibreOffice Draw better for hand-drawing.

If you want to get a live map of the connections on your network you may want to check out netdisco.org or librenms.org. Both are open source network management tools that have mapping.

Went through a lot of playback apps over the years, and Plexamp is definitely the best of them all. Reliable downloads, good quality, eq settings.
