First time setup a OpenMediaVault for my friend on his 12th gen NUC. With one NVMe disk for both boot drive and data, it's a fairly risky setup. But the progress went smooth: install system, replace the apt repo to a local one, install plugins to share root fs, install podman, set up proxy, figure out how to make podman use proxy, and finally install tailscale and plex.

I'm amazed how this system is flawless. It's community work, I thought it would be junky, expecting to deal with sneaky command line hack, but everything (other than podman) can be done in the web ui. And it's based on Debian 12, which means if OpenMediaVault didn't offer any plugin for the app I need, I can just install it for debian.

There are so much OSes that requires special care, for example, synology, true nas (the bsd based one), and unraid (you don't even get a package manager). I mean, they do have their good side, but they does need some workaround to work with.

With OpenMediaVault, in the end of the day, it's just a debian server. Lovely.

A quick question.

Just found out that both the president of the US and China are pretty old. Biden is 80+, and XiJinping is 70+. I didn't check other countries' leaders age, but it looks like we are letting old people rule the world?

Not familiar with the US, but for China, a 71 years old man is simply too old to lead the country. I think this country needs more energy from a young (not younger, but young) leader.

Moderate rain but 39C?

Is it raining hot water?

@trinsec also a interesting observation: according to the seller, this model has a VFD inside, I don't know what it does, but according to what I read, that thing allows the unit to change the power based on need. So if I set it to 16C, the unit will work on full power to cool the room, so the toilet will be super hot, but if I set to 25C and let it work for a while, the room is cooled and not much work is needed, then the toilet temperature can go down to 35 or even 33 during the night. But I'm not sure about the noon and afternoon.

@trinsec yeah, I have to do it quick, lol

Looks like either the seller gives the wrong dimensions or I measured wrong.

Anyway, this unit is wider than I thought. And all of my windows won't fit, so I set it up using the toilet.

Room temperature: 25C
Toilet temperature: 40C

Eight years of waiting, S03E12 is all we deserve? Kumiko strived for three years, and in the end of the day, a transfer student that never show up in the first two season, a nobody, just denied all her efforts and throw her back to the bottom?

What's wrong with you?

I don't know anything about music and performance. And I don't care. I came to anime, I came to KyoAni for getting the peace, the warmth, and the strength from the beautiful stories so I can facing my f*cking hard life. Now what I got? Disappointment, sadness, anger. Also insomnia.

This is the biggest failure in Asia. They should call Steven He for failure management.

I express my feeling in English because I don't know much about cursing words. If I said in Chinese it gonna be the most cursing toot on qoto.

KyoAni, we're done. Hanada Jukki, go fuck yourself.

My Disappointment Is Immeasurable And My Day Is Ruined.

When I saw this number of citations, I know someone is serious.

The web ui is kind of weird for this: I saw the citations first, then the main content... And it's too much English for an Asian in a weekend, LOL

the seller is actually very nice. It's so nice that I think I have never seen such a nice seller in the past several years.

Today, when I was about to continue the negotiations about the details, like which post office they want to use, who to pay the fee, etc. One thing I care a lot about is when the replacement shipping will be shipped. If they only ship out the replacement once they got my current unit, that's unacceptable. It will at least cost another 7 to 10 days before I can get the current one I ordered. However, they sent a tracking number before I started typing, and later, I found out that is the replacement unit they sent out to me. My unit is not even being picked up.

I hope we can have more sellers like this one in China.

Update: I got the window unit, but the seller sent the wrong one.

I ordered a 48 cm width unit, but the seller sent me a 60 cm wide one. This one simply cannot fit in the door.

*Indescribable frustration*

Just read the history of King To Nin Jiom. Might be one of the earliest open-source movements in China?

It's said the recipe was created by a famous doctor when a man tries desperately to find a cure for his mother. The recipe works so well and totally heals the disease that the mother sighed after surviving the disaster: When I was ill in the past, I was in unspeakable pain and just wanted to die quickly. Unexpectedly, I took this ointment, which cured my chronic illness and allowed me to enjoy life again and live out my life. The work of the celestial being is like giving me a new life. You should make more of this ointment and give it away so that people with the same disease in the world can help them overcome their suffering. This will be a way of repaying my kindness. (This part is translated from ancient Chinese by Google. I can read ancient Chinese, but google Translate will make things much easier)

Of course, the man followed his mother's will. The man set up a temple in Beijing, that's where the King To part of name comes. The Nin jiom is the name of the temple, which means to commemorate the loving mother. The man gives the medicine for free, along with the recipe.

Later, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the son of that man decided to give both the trademark (the name) and the recipe to Xie Zhaobang, the owner of Zhongzheng Pharmacy, to prevent the recipe from becoming extinct, which would go against their ancestral teachings. And that pharmacy becomes the company now who produces it.
