You haven’t said who you’re actually buying from

You must not have actually read the post.

Parked state doesn’t mean much when the box the drive is in is launched 20ft during the shipping process.

And there he is, the douchebag shines through.

What you’ve purchased are OEM drives. They are shipped in big boxes with other drives, slotted into foam slots. Generally a good packer will bubble wrap the shit out of the bare drives when they ship them to you. Retail box drives aren’t shipped like this.

You must be pretty young, because back in the dark days of spinning HDDs a computer would take 5+ minutes to boot.

Those storage freezers are doing nothing the vast majority of the time. Not really a fair comparison.

Are you a bot?

cloudflare + the dynamic dns plugin for opnsense.

I do this with the dynamic dns plugin in OPNsense. It really is set-it-and-forget-it.

If you aren’t willing to give the OP the information he was requesting, why respond at all?

I 100% support this initiative.

This will never be “solved” by hotel staff.

It really is a wonder how Linux is able to recognize floppy disks immediately…

As is Windows.

Pretty much any of them.

VaultWarden is a damn godsend.

Cat 5e

The fact that your old cable was cat5e has no bearing whatsoever on you getting shit speeds before changing cables. The gigabit spec was codified and products were on the market before the cat5e spec was ratified. Gigabit ethernet was literally made for standard cat5. I bet your previous cable was terminated incorrectly, and was only using two of the four pairs, limiting you to 100mbit.

How is it not a fork?

OpenWRT is pretty user friendly, in my experience.

No, it actually isn’t. TRIM doesn’t erase data.

Trim marks blocks for deletion. It doesn’t delete anything.
