  • Not really much, tbh.

    Decent quality door locks
    Clear line of sight from the street to likely entry points
    Loud alarms so if they do break in they’re not likely to stay long

    If someone wants to get into a house, there isn’t much you can do to stop them unless you’re rich and can afford exotic shit like bullet proof glass windows and thick metal reinforced doors.
    All to can really do is discourage crimes of opportunity by making them seem like bad opportunities.





  • Man, this whole post has been embarrassing for you. Oof.

    I can’t help but notice youve once again failed to address prefix and postfix notations.
    And that you’ve not actually made any argument other than “nuh uh”
    Not to mention the other threads you’ve been in. Yikes.

    We can all tell you’re not a maths teacher.

    To a “maths teacher”

    Yeah sure
    A “teacher” who doesn’t know that all lessons are simplifications that get corrected at a higher level, and confidentiality refers to children’s textbook as an infallible source of college level information.

    A “teacher” incapable of differentiating between rules of a convention and the laws of mathematics.

    A “teacher” incapable of looking up information on notations of their own specialization, and synthesizing it into coherent response.

    Uh huh, sounds totally legit




  • Wikipedia

    In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of conventions about which arithmetic operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression

    What’s that? You don’t trust Wikipedia?
    Ok, you’ve yet to explain why notations like prefix and postfix dont need these “rules”.
    If they were rules of mathematics **itself** how could they only apply to certain notations?







  • I’ve been going through a similar journey, and I’ll tell you want I did:

    I ended up just getting a low-end 2 bay Synology NAS, because it is cheap, and easy to set up shares and backups, and 12tb mirrored is all I needed. I was too intimidated by the prospect of configuring trueNAS correctly, and Synology walked back their requirement of using their own branded drives.

    If you want open source NAS software, then TrueNAS and OpenMediaVault are the main options. Truenas has the better pedigree afaict, but it has pretty significant requirements that mean you’ll need expensive hardware. In the end, I decided it was way more than what I needed, I wanted my NAS to be purely a NAS, and I’d do my server/cluster on different hardware.
    I almost got a HexOS NAS (fork of trueNAS SCALE with a front-end written by a bunch of ex-unraid folks to be much easier to configure and admin), but it’s still beta and I didn’t wanna wait a few months for GA, and also it has the same requirements as trueNAS, so it’d be expensive and you also have to pay for a license.

    If you go with a traditional OTS NAS, then you probably want raid 1 for a 2 bay or raid 5 if you have 4+ bays.
    If you get something like truenas that uses ZFS then you want raidz1 (which is like raid5 with one parity disk). Current there are limitations with raiz if you wanna expand it later, but HexOS folks are sponsoring a ZFS feature called Any RAID, to make expanding raidz more flexible, which will presumably make it’s way to all ZFS NASes when it is finished.

    I’m pretty early in my self-hosting journey, but so far I have a 2 bay Synology with cloud backup and a couple of shared volumes, a rasppi 5 running home assistant, a beelink ser5 running Ubuntu server for portainer, and a cheap VPS for pangolin.
