The new song is good, too! It seems that we can expect great songs from muque in the future.

I had preordered the limited edition of the new album and can recommend the included the concert. ;) The quality is equal to the Bluray of the previous album.

The song is awesome. Especially live.

Do you know “OVER”? I think you could like the song, too. YouTube: SCANDAL - OVER

This is my favorite Hanabie. song.

I prefer digital books because of the following points:

• There is a book price control in Germany, meaning that you can’t get new physical books cheaper. This does not apply to digital books.
• They take less physical space.
• I can read them everywhere with either my Smartphone that I already have with me at all times or my tablet. I do not have to plan to read a book when I’m on the go.
• I can quickly search for something in a reference book if I have it in digital form. This is not possible with physical books.

Only downside:

• I need to have a device when I want to read a digital book. And this needs to be charged. But this is rarely a problem.

Oh, no. I love bandcamp. I don’t want it to go down the drain. :c

What’s up with bandcamp?

Hey, no problem. Thank you for your impressions. I’m glad that there are a lot of songs that you like. :)

Though I have to say that the blatant pushing of their schoolgirl image in their earlier videos and concerts is a bit off-putting to me

This is my exact feeling. I like the mature SCANDAL more. And they worked hard to change their image. An example for this is the Koisuru universe MV.

You’re welcome. I’m glad that I could help you :)

Thanks, I will check them out.

I’m fairly new to MikroTik and no expert either, but I don’t think you need a second bridge. You can add your VLANs to the default bridge and handle internet access through firewall rules. Depending on your existing firewall logic, you may have to drop/reject all traffic from the IoT subnet to the internet and all other subnets. Make sure that you add the bridge also as a tagged interface to the VLAN! Else, the DHCP server and all services on the router can not reach the IoT subnet.

I would also recommend to segregate all traffic into different VLANs (WAN, LAN, IoT, …). This makes it easy to manage firewall rules because you can then use either VLAN interfaces or interface lists containing multiple VLAN interfaces for similiar firewall rules. You can simply untag outgoing traffic on specific ports if you want and add a specific tag for incoming traffic.

I have a similiar setup running. Everything is separated into VLANs and these VLANs are configured on the default bridge. Routing/allowing and denying traffic to/from the internet is handled by firewall rules. And I have defined interface lists like NO_INTERNET_ACCESS, NO_LAN_ACCESS, etc. These lists are then used by the firewall rules. If you later want to add another VLAN that should not get access to the internet you can simply add it to the NO_INTERNET_ACCESS list and you do not have to alter your firewall rules for that specific VLAN.

Take this advice with a grain of salt. If possible, do not test this on your production network but on a separate, isolated router.

Wait, the peggies split up?!

You’re right and that’s why I love them. You can feel that they have fun when you go to a concert. And when they have fun, the crowd has fun too! It is quite more enjoyable when you are standing in the crowd knowing that the band members have as much fun as you.

SCANDAL are making songs that they like and not songs that may sell well. Also, they are exprimenting quite a bit. “Ai no shotai” from the latest album “Mirror” comes to mind. In that song they added a gospel choir which is something that I do not listen to every day. It is my favorite song from the album.

Plus the fact that they have a wide vararity of styles. Every album feels fresh. This surely comes with the downside that one may not like every single song. There may be songs that are more your cup of tea and songs that you do not like very much. But that’s OK. Just listen to the songs that you like. (Honestly, there are SCANDAL songs that I can’t seem to warm up to, no matter how hard I try. And one of them is a popular SCANDAL song. But eh, they have an impressive discography. There are so many songs that I like.)

Sorry for raving about my favorite band. 😅

What SCANDAL songs do you like so far?

Oh, Ok. I hope you get some time to relax with Japanese music. “26” is a really great song, I can understand that it left an impression on you.

I will also think about some songs with happy couples in the MVs for my next posts 😉

By the way, did you decide to order the album with the Bluray?

@awdsns@feddit.de I’m sure you’ve already seen the new MV. What’s your opinion? :)

Cube 2: Sauerbraten seems to still be maintained. I haven’t played it for a long time, though.

What software did you use to make this diagram?

For my workstation I’m using a small script that packs and compresses all relevant directories with tar once a week. The resulting file is then copied to a local backup drive and to my NAS. An encrypted version of that file is sent to an offsite VPS.

For my selfhosted services (on Proxmox) I’m using ProxmoxBackupServer.

I’ve purposely build that NAS around two or three years ago. It’s a Gigabyte B360M D3H mainboard, Intel Pentium Gold G5400 and 16GB of the cheapest RAM I could find. An Adaptec 71605 card provides SAS/SATA connections for up to 16 drives and a Mellanox Connect-X3 connects my NAS via 10Gbit/s to my network. The case is an Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4424 . It has 24 hot swap bays. But I would not recommend it because the backplane is terrible. Four or five slots are not working. Sometimes, when I re-insert a drive, it is not detected.

Using cheap RAM bit me in the ass last year as one of the RAM sticks started to fail. I didn’t notice that there is a problem with the RAM at first. Only when I observed that one of my scripts was not working I started to investigate the problem. Turns out that one of the RAM sticks failed. Re-inserting the stick did not resolve the problem so I replaced all sticks with old Crucial RAM I had laying around. Some files that I transfered to the NAS during that time period are corrupt. In the future I won’t use cheap RAM anymore and I’m also currently planning to replace the mainboard and CPU with something that supportes ECC RAM so that I can be notified when on of the sticks starts to fail.

Here are some pics from building the NAS

I like your setup.

Thanks :)

Is your nas on Ext4?

Yes, all HDDs in my NAS are formatted with EXT4. I don’t use RAID because there are mostly static files stored there and the drives are configured to spin down after 30 minutes of inactivity.

MD1200 DAS

How loud are those? I’ve heard that the Dell PowerVault DAS arrays are quite loud.
