  • one of these days I’ll write it down.

    Do it now! The internet is so unreliable these days, one day you wake up and - poof - your favorite recipe is gone. You try to find it, then you try to remember the correct ingredients. But it is gone forever. Like a beautiful dream. And every time you cook it something tastes off. Because I didn’t write it down!





  • AEG LR7fl841ex (dschörman), old one was a Bauknecht from ~2005.

    It has some nice features, is very eco friendly and super quiet for the price range. It’s a middle-class machine with only 42l/cycle, the lowest I could find in store. Plus 10 year warranty on the motor.

    I think at least in Germany you can’t go wrong with any of the white goods sold by the 4 or 5 big firms, they all produce in the same factories (at least Bosch and Siemsn do). And a washer is a washer, it was already over-engineered 10 years ago. The most important part for me was the energy efficiency and water consumption.




  • That is a nice NAS, when I got my Terramaster F4-420 I immediately upgraded RAM, put a SSD in the hidden 5th slot and installed TrueNAS. Almost overkill since I only need it for some NFS shares now, but in the beginning I was experimenting with iSCSI partitions and that was real fun. Also the firmware back then allowed for full virtualization, so I was running a homelab for testing and education.



  • Can you still install an OSS alternative instead of their locked OS? I am using a F4-420 with TrueNAS for more then 6 years now, as I remember they changed something in their firmware so you are not able to install another OS anymore. But I can be wrong, my Terramaster runs just fine on TrueNAS (community edition). It’s an awesome and trouble free NAS.
