Sorry for the late reply. The optiplex is absolutely sold as a desktop, but I've been using it as a server for a couple of years. Very small, quiet, and it sips power, but it only has support for 2 2.5" SATA drives (though it does have plenty of USB 3 ports if you don't mind using external storage). TrueNAS installed on it would be similar to your Synology setup (without the vendor lock in), though not nearly as convenient as the front bays you're used to.

It's yours if you want it, but no worries otherwise.

That would be awesome. I have a Dell Optiplex 7040 Micro that might be better suited for your needs after you play around with the big server. Maybe we could trade?

Depending on where you're located I would happily pay for shipping.

If you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands. I have a rack designed for that kind of hardware and all of the infrastructure to fully support it.

I would recommend editing your fstab and use the USB drive's UUID to mount it to a consistent location. That way, even if you reboot or disconnect the drive and the reconnect it to, say, a different USB port, it will always mount to the same mountpoint.

See this page from the arch wiki for more info.

It was so disappointing, it would have been so easy to make it work with couch co-op and online multiplayer with just a little bit more effort. I was so excited when it was first announced, and then I don't think I played it beyond the first day it released after trying online play with my brother.

The original was a masterpiece of couch co-op, but it's increasingly difficult and expensive to play it on original hardware anymore. Fortunately you can get away with connecting multiple instances of m-gba and dolphin to recreate the experience on emulator for couch co-op at least.

This is a research paper and not necessarily a proposed product. I think the implications are interesting, specifically around how the robot conveys its intent and attention.

LOL absolute legend.

What about adding "in nog we trust" or something along those lines. Depending on your artistic confidence, maybe also a portrait, but with a chicken head instead of a dead president lol

Go to a grocery store and go "psst, want to buy some quality merchandise?" to random people passing by. Then reveal the inside of your jacket lined with eggs.

Ah, I believe that would be this image from a college course.
