I know absolutely nothing about hosting a site like this, how much does it actually cost? It doesn’t seem like a particularly resource intensive application?

12TB plan is €50/month though without a promo, which IMO is really fucking expensive.

But a simple visual inspection is all you need to see if there’s rust on the discs requiring action before the safety inspection. And it’s this check many BEV owner’s don’t do, so it’s not caught until they do the actual safety inspection.

If you have play in the movement vertically and horizontally, there will at least potentially/occasionally be similar play in the actual steering

No, they are two completely independent mechanical systems. Failure of one does not have a causal link to failure in the other.

That’s probably because AFAIK there is zero play allowed in the steering wheel. It’s not enough that the column is OK if the rest isn’t.

The thing is, there isn’t any play WRT turning of the steering wheel, it is only horizontal and lateral movement of it. The law doesn’t specify this unequivocally, which is why they’re arguing to figure out how to interpret it.

This is probably some drive by wire shit

No, none of the model 3’s use drive by wire, it’s a classic steering column like other cars.

however there is a case running between Tesla and the FDM because the bushings that the steering wheel adjustment mechanism is mounted with has some play in it, which is supposedly what the inspections are rejecting them with as play in the steeringg column, even though there is not any play in the actual steering column itself. Shitty quality, absolutely, but not an inherent safety risk like play in the steering column.

Other brands have mandatory service to maintain warranty, so they likely replace parts just before inspection rather than just after.

They do, all BEV and PHEV suffer from this. For most teslas it’s probably not getting corrected before inspection because there is no service requirement from Tesla to maintain vehicle warranty. Since other manufacturers require service to maintain warranty, they discover and fix these before inspection.

In Denmark a car will fail with brakes as the cause for simply having rust on them, even if the actual braking performance is good enough to pass. This is causing a lot of BEV and PHEV to require brake replacements even though they’re not worn and still work just fine.

Running a media server with bulk storage from an external HDD is just a terrible experience and recipe for issues, and doesn’t give a nice experience with a full library to select from at a whim anywhere in the world (like what streaming provides). Also, depending on library size, not even possible.

I have ~20tb of media on my server, which isn’t even that much, no chance that’ll run well in that configure you mention. It’s by no means a beefy server either, it’s a small ITX mobo in a case with a shitload of HDD bays.

Pirating is not really much cheaper TBH…my media server, including power, has to run for something like 6-7 years without upgrades or repairs to break even with what Netflix would cost in that same time frame. It’s not about saving money, it’s about not giving it to them.

Definitely go for prowlarr. you select the indexers you want to search through when you set it up the first time and then you just search for whatever you’re looking for in the searchbar and prowlarr will look through all the indexers you’ve selected and give you the result.
