Re: GoFlex Home Battery Replacement - 7 weeks ago
Yes and Dollar Tree is not bad, especially if you need the item right the way at a much affordable price (US $1). If you can waste for some shipping time (2+ weeks), AliExpress and/or Chinese sellers on eBay may have the same item at a much lower price than Dollar Tree. For instance, I recently bought a strip of 5x CR2032 from AliExpress US 68¢.by habibie - Off-Topic

Re: Running PiHole (network ad blocker) on a Pogoplug Pro - 2 months ago
This is interesting. When I poke around the pihole basic-install.sh script, I was just intrigued why picking /etc/pihole as the installation logging location as shown in line #32 (installLogLoc=/etc/pihole/install.log). An installation logging is usually just a temporary data and should be placed under /tmp. Otherwise, the default logging location on a Linux system on /var/log would be more apby habibie - Debian

Currently (today only: 12/25/18), NewEGG offers the following 120GB SSD storages under US $20 + a free S/H as shown below. TBH, I really don't know the reliability of the brands.
