Tangentially related, The Office fans jokingly asking if I’d ever been to “Scranton” and then being surprised to learn it was a real place.

Same thing happens to me where I’ll start emulating local accents. The result is no one can accurately guess where I’m from, even people from my own country. The general answer is “northern Europe” but not from the country of whomever is guessing. But it’s the same reason… something is up with my accent, but no one is able to place it.

Grew up NEPA, went to school on the main line. Moved away almost 20 years ago, but this brings me back.

While I would be open to a trade, I’d be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I’d like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

Huh, I’m also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it’s a bit too much for my needs, and I really don’t have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it’s as loud as people are saying.

Uff, I wouldn’t even know how to ship that without it costing an arm and a leg
