  • Am I missing something here? The first 4 in your list are petroleum refiners and separately gas stations with the same names. Most gas stations are independently operated businesses under franchise agreements with a particular brand. Yes they are required to use fuel from their own brand. QT is just a convenience store that also sells fuel and isnt in the refining business.



  • I’m assuming you’re in the US, look up the prices for vinyl fence on home Depot or Lowe’s website. They have pre build items for that type of fence. I would 2-2.5x your material estimate to account for labor, markup, and misc items that are needed. Removal and haul away of a chain link depends on what it looks like now. All in I would guess $4-5k if there isn’t much custom work.

    I would say that if you are physically capable and have the time, fences are pretty easy to DIY with a shovel, level, and drill. there are plenty of resources online showing you how. And make sure to call your local dig safe number.


    1. Looks like that NAS was originally sold with up to 40tb capacity so it shouldn’t have any issues with larger drives. Seems like the “my cloud os” is based on Linux so unless WD built in some weird limit, it should work with 20tb drives.

    2. I don’t have an answer here, never had to rebuild an array. You might be able to use clonezilla which can do a block by block copy of disks and then expand the volume in the OS if it supports it. This is just conjecture, I’ve never done it with a raid array.










  • Yes I read the whole thing. This is large company A being mad at company B for cutting off their way below market rate service and company B being a dick about the situation. I did some more digging and 4m monthly users seem to be around 1/3 of Fanduel (Flutter entertainment). This guy is probably working for a company with over $1b revenue per year. Any company that relies on their website for all of their business should have had contracts in place with CF to ensure they were fully within the ToS or contingencies in place to pivot off of CF should CF decide you aren’t in compliance.

    CF said their account was flagged for domain rotation activities which is against the ToS. “This also means that if a country DNS-blocks our main domain, a secondary domain may still be available. This could arguably be seen as a violation of the Cloudflare TOS, as they wrote above.”. They had 2 weeks to stop doing that or upgrade to the enterprise account. Instead they didn’t do that and as soon as they said they said they were looking at alternatives, CF stopped giving them grace on the ToS violation in the most malicious compliance way possible.
