Oh, you are exactly right! I never used the sleep schedule for this exact reason! I need that nuclear meltdown alarm, or I am not waking up! xD

I remember adding some back in the day, and to this day, they are still available even though I switched from the iPhone 7 I had to the 13. I know you have to do it through iTunes, but that is all that I remember. :(

Hey, OP! I was recently gifted a desktop PC, with one spare drive, and 2 drives I had in storage for “bad sectors”. I popped the old ones in (because I have a backup) and downloaded and installed TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS’ web UI is BEAUTIFUL and very informative at a glance. What I was NOT prepared for, was the permissions. Like you, I started out with a Synology, because I didn’t know anything. It did what it needed to do, and that was fine. I use Plex and Jellyfin, and the new desktop had a 1660 Super in it, so you bet your ass I wanted to put that to use!

TrueNAS isn’t as easy as Synology, and like I said, the permissions thing really threw me for a loop because of how the wording on things is. To me, it isn’t in english so to speak. I learned a few tricks here and there, so if you need any help, feel free to reach out and I’ll try to help! :)

Anker. Still have cables I got in 2018. I’m not rough with my stuff though, so take it as you will.

Here you go, friend!

Sad.grl was able to teach a schlep like me how to HTML, and I have high hopes she will be able to teach you too. :)

Start taking it back by creating your own nest here and then slowly self host it on your own equipment if possible. Then it will truly belong to you.

I recommend Neocities since I’ve used it and it actually taught me a little about HTML. Now that I know how my website works, and I have backups that I can download from Neocities when I want, if Neocities ever wants to go down a shitty path, I can always just throw the files I had on there onto my own server (with a bit of finagling I’m sure).

We can have our own green pastures while the average person stays on Facebook/Instagram/whatever.

It sucks, but that’s the cost of having the internet wildly available now. :/

I’m crashing the fuck out guys. I’ve put up with these shenanigans for way too long. I am now just waiting for whatever pushes me passed the edge.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I chose it awhile ago since being awake feels like a lucid nightmare. Haha I am too, friend. It does make me a little happier to see another who feels the same.

When the general populace is agreeing with, and supporting people who have more wealth than 90% of the rest of the US, I can’t help but feel like I am insane and am held hostage by my “government”. Enough is enough man. Life is too short to sit here and constantly fight for rights that were already fought for lifetimes ago. It’s disgusting.
