That’s just the plot to Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Depending on how old your group is, it might be nostalgic, or novel.

I’m using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.

All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I’m using 50watts +/- 5.

It does everything I need, and I feel like that’s pretty efficient.

Talk to a lawyer and figure out what is legal.

Who owns the house now? Cause it sounds like your grandmother wanted to give it to your mother and then dictate what your mother does with it after that. That’s not legal everywhere.

You don’t know what you should do until you know what you can do, and what your mother is required to do.

Also, having a lawyer help draft the agreement between your sister and your mother is very important.

What about Unicron, but pre-destruction? He’s basically planet sized.

Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

Could I be Cthulhu?

Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

WHAT ARE THE RULES???

Zwave uses a different spectrum than zigbee and wifi though, so as far as wireless communication, it’s probably the most reliable.

Wired is mostly impractical for outlets.

Well, if LTT is involved, then I probably want nothing to do with it.

“leak” design. See how the Internet mocks your design. Redesign and repeat as needed.

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

There’s a saying you might want to get familiar with

“If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you’re the asshole.”

Unless some numbers are opposite of a gap, then it could never land with that number facing up.

Each side needs an opposing flat part, and I don’t think that can happen with a die with an odd number of sides.

D) Move manufacturing and other dirty processes off planet and live here.

The D&D dungeon gridfinity sets are really cool.

According to a US Army study, Iron and Tungsten could create galvanic action, causing both materials to degrade if in contact.

So at first glance, it seems like this combo wouldn’t last as long as it could with just Tungsten.

Stardew Valley/Concerned Ape has a policy of fixing saves personally.
