I don’t follow what Max getting ahead of Oscar has anything to do with Max’s number choice.
AFAIU, Max always wanted to use the number 3, but couldn’t because Riciardo already took it. That’s why he went with 33 instead.
And because FIA now allows for a driver to change their number now (if the number is eligible), its only logical for Max to go with the number he wanted in the first place, because RIC has ceded his 3.

“Fuck you, I’ve got mine!”

this is, in fact, not true. Studies have shown, that there are no toilets on venus and - as a result - there is no toilet water that could swirl. [citation needed]

Sick jump, do a kickflip now!

Don’t forget about Seb. He was the first person eligible to chose between their personal number and the Champions #1 for the 2014 season (and he went with #1).

NHL will have to rename to National Blade Association (NBA), so we have to come up with something new for Basketball.

The main concern with old hardware is probably powerdraw/efficiency, depending on how old your PC is, it might not be the best choice. But remember: companies are getting rid of old hardware fairly quickly, they can be a good choice and might be available for dirt cheap or even free.

I recently replaced my old Synology NAS from 2011 with an old Dell Optiplex 3050 workstation that companies threw away. The system draws almost twice the power (25W) compared to my old synology NAS (which only drew 13W, both with 2 spinning drives), but increase in processing power and flexibility using TrueNAS is very noticable, it allowed me to also replace an old raspberry pi (6W) that only ran pihole.

So overall, my new home-server is close in power draw to the two devices it replaced, but with an immense increase in performance.

On a CFW PS3, you can use multiman to create an ISO of a video BluRay or copy the file structure off of the disc by putting it into “classic multiman mode” - This will not work on HEN systems You’ll still need to copy the result over to your PC and use software like MakeMKV to rip it to a movie file, but it works. I had to do that recently with a BluRay Disc that my PC Drive was refusing to read without errors.

If PS3 gaming is what you care about most, best get a slim model that can run proper cfw. A HEN system (later slims, superslims) work as well, but they can be quirky with a few tasks outside of gaming (e.g. trying to rip a Bluray movie for conversion on a PC), and you have to run HEN on every boot (just a single button press and a few seconds of waiting, but still).

That being said, the superslim, while feeling very cheap, can sometimes also be bought very cheap (i paid 20 EUR for a used one a few years ago), and since they use a fixed drive (i.e. no slot loading mechanism), you don’t have to worry about the mechanism failing.

Would you be interested in contributing a short guide on the setup?

I am not confident enough in my knowledge of TrueNAS apps myself to judge if my setup process is how you’re supposed to do custom apps, tbh, so i’d rather not try to contribute a guide that could potentially have other users run into trouble 😅

I bookmarked this post a few days ago, but only just had the time to set it up today. Installing it as a custom app on TrueNAS was very easy, if only I had known it would just be a 3 minute job :D

I am running TrueNAS as well, and I keep snapshots for about a week. When I set up snapshots, I noticed the same issue as you: On a Linux client there seems to be no convenient way to browse these snapshots using the file manager (like “previous versions” on windows), and the only way I was able to browse snapshots was using ssh into the TrueNAS system.

While inconvenient, I figured that’s good enough for me, I don’t really tend to accidentally delete files off my system and on the rare occasion that I do, I can just use the command line. So far, I didn’t have the need to access an earlier snapshot.

But having a convenient way to browse the snapshots using a webUI is great, Thank you for creating this application, so far it works great as a custom application on TrueNAS, I was able to successfully browse and download files from previous snapshots :)

Some things that can be useful, although I don’t know how easily they can be implemented:

• When viewing a snapshot, highlight files (and possibly folders) that differ from the current state (deleted files in red, modified files in yellow, for example)
• Downloading entire folders, that would probably require timeship to zip them up beforehand, though.

So, they duck around and find out?

You can only teleport to Tirana, not back

The text is layered on top of the “prohibited” sign, making butt stuff not actually prohibited.
Yay, butt stuff.

it’s from the makers of “Heavy Rain” and “Beyond: Two souls”. The player has to play the role of three different humanoid androids throughout the game, and make choices that heavily affect the gameplay. Depending on the choices you make with every character, their story and outcome changes their future paths. It’s a good game, and can be bought quite cheap at sales. The acting is really good IMO.

IT security issue

Was it crowdstrike again?

While both 8 and 88 have been used by Grosjean and Kubica respectively, they are available now by default. Grosjean last used the number in 2020, Kubica in 2021. F1 Drivers were free to claim these numbers for themselves from 2023/2024 respectively.

For now Perez last used his 11 in 2024 (I dont believe he used it in his Ferrari test, or at least it doesn’t count), which means it would be free to claim in 2027.

11 is not available, checo still has a right to use that, and iirc he will be back on the grid next year.

Unless he gives up his number of course.
