Pirating on consoles?
  • Crap, sorry, I was thinking of RPCS3 for the PS3.. I was out and looked up what I thought it was, but I was wrong. Removed the link to keep the scam from spreading.

    You might want to give PS4 emulation on PC a try. I was shocked at how smooth and playable it was, let alone convenient and free. That being said, modding a PS4 seems possible, though I've never done it myself. I modded my PS2 and enjoyed a lot of downloaded games that way.****

  • Linux for Kids?
  • As a father of three, the best parent filter is oversight, communication, and guidance. People want plug and play automatic parenting on the devices their kids use, but the honest truth is nothing beats actually talking to the kids about what's out there, the dangers, the consequences, and guiding them as they explore. Keep an eye on what they do, and intervene if they start down the wrong rabbit hole. Good luck my friend.

    Help me with a rotating firesafe data backup

    I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home.

    My current plan is to get (2) Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID enclosures and (8) WD Red Pro NAS 16TB drives to fill them. The first would contain a full backup and be placed in the safe. The second would be attached to my machine and receive nightly backups. Periodically, I would rotate the enclosures, taking the one from the safe and swap it with the one connected to my machine.

    Are there any problems with my plan that I am not thinking of? Are there better solutions?

    Is anyone else keeping a rotating data backup in a safe? How is it working out for you?

    I printed a Homer disappearing into the bushes sponge holder on my Ender 3 Pro.

    I downloaded a model but the Homer had several model flaws and the sponge base didn't fit my sponges so I designed my own. I basically kept only the spout.

    I started with a PNG of Homer disappearing into the bushes. I cleaned it up a lot in gimp, then used adobe's PNG to SVG converter, which I'll say works very well. Brought that into inkscape and cleaned it up even more. Separated him into colors, pulled them into tinkercad at different heights, then printed him with 4 color changes.
