    After plenty of rather frequent upgrades in the vehicle department for myself I figured it was about time to upgrade the wife's decade old Honda Accord. Picked up this brand new 2017 last weekend for her. Considering she's the type that sticks to a vehicle for a long long time, pretty happy with the purchase.

    Glad to hear it. Pretty much exactly what we were looking for in a vehicle for her. Something that can be used as a family vehicle down the line as well when kids are involved and what not. She doesn't know anything about cars other than simply like Audi because of the logo lol. So we didn't really look at any other options at all other than looking at them on the streets and her shaking her head against all of them. It's an extremely comfortable ride so far but only driven 700 km's so far. I quite like the interior as well. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    Decided to move my PFSense router from a VM to a mini computer, so I don't kill internet access when I'm making changes on my hypervisor.
    This little box works pretty well

    Well now that I've looked up and learned what a hyperviser is, I am left wondering what one uses a hyperviser for in one's home?
    Will fuck off, again.

    It lets me run multiple operating systems on a single box. 1 big pool of memory and disk, handed out among the VMs.
    2 Linux boxes for email server and spam filter, a Windows box for SAN/backups etc.

    Hehe. It's funny you say that cause I had been using a Xiaomi Mi Mix for a couple of months after swapping my iPhone 7 Plus but got bored of it and just purchased the Red iPhone 7 Plus.

    I've got those tires and I love them. Pretty quiet as far as more aggressive tires go and great grip in the snow. They left a little to be desired on the ice but they are way better than the stock garbage that comes on our trucks.

    yeah, i wanted something with a bit of an aggressive tread for light off roading, and still have a quiet ride, and these K02 fit the bill pretty good. Sold off my stock 18s that came on the truck, put 18" studded winters on the stock rims, and then these will be my summer rims and tires.

    Yup, great tires, love 'em. Use them on the truck I take for work and they handle anything I throw at them. Plus they're pretty decent in the snow so if you get a freak late/early snowfall and don't have your winters on yet you're not in for a ass puckering ride

    Where did you get it from and how much?

    I've been thinking of getting one too but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    You know there is a new Q5 coming this fall, right?

    Yup. Wifey didn't like the shape of it and preferred this body style. As for engine differences, that's hardly a concern to her.

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/QOTO...608.0.0.7nG81C

    I got the Celeron J1900 4GB Ram 32GB msata SSD.
    No fan, 4 NICs. Draws about 10 watts, and hovers around 26 degrees.

    There are other flavours, and 2 case sizes. The S02 case is big enough to squeeze a standard 2.5" ssd in.

    The J1900 won't do much more than 500Mbps thoughput, but I don't need more than that for now, so it's good enough.
    Came to $199. U.S. With shipping, plus $19.00 fees from DHL, but got here really fast.

    Don't forget to enable TRIM on the SSD, BSD/PFsense doesn't do it by default.

    Actually pretty cool! Can you post a pic of it in your car? Interested to see this not in the sales photo rendering... For $100 on amazon, pretty sick!

    Yup agree on all those. A couple years ago when my mom was in the market for a similar sized SUV I tried my best for to go this route but she ended up with the GLK. Which is also a nice vehicle but I didn't like the looks of it compared to the Q5. Fast forward to now, wife's turn and the fact she liked Audi's to begin with it was a no brainer.

    We did buy it from Glenmore Audi, for service most likely take it to Southgate in Edmonton, at least for the warranty period. I did get Audi care so service is included for a while.
