thanks for picking up the slack @Cypher!

I have an older version, without that snazzy red handle.

9+ years old, absolute workhorse.

thanks for the recommendations!

forwarded them to the boss for approval.

when people start using the “don’t question them; they know what they’re doing” argument…I become even more suspicious. If they knew what they were doing the results would be apparent and spectacular to everyone; no one would question it…

the fact that trickery and forced adoption are required for the technology to succeed is very telling about the competence of the technology itself.

right?

we had pizzas unrefrigerated for 2-3 days in college, with no ill effects. fridge was full of beer…

or to Musk? it is a fact he lied on his naturalization documents regarding his studies and employment. nothing will be done.

idk…all those questions give them too much information about the potential disanswer. I think they should just say, “do you have any evidence to support the claim you just made?”

I hope, one day, we can turn it into low income housing or a dog shelter… one can dream.

came here to say this and I’ll raise you

oh lord, he’s made of wood

this statement along with people telling me to “make up my own mind about the causes”… is infuriating.

the civil war WAS about southern states rights…to determine which human beings they could enslave and how many. any other reason given is incomplete, not truthful and completely misses the point.

big ol dookie on Canon…💩💩💩

one of the worst technology purchases I ever made.

I bought the laser brother for scan and documents, which is awesome.

but I needed something for photos… found this “highly rated” Canon photo only printer… hot garbage.

bump. my brother multifunction worked flawlessly. scanner, printer…I assume the fax would work if it was hooked up.

Mac is 85-90%

Windows, I just completely uninstall/reinstall for each use because it is more reliable than trying to use it otherwise.

oddly enough, the Canon I got will only work properly from the phone, which pisses me off everyday. that thing is a POS.

I think it would’ve been more impactful if instead of mentioning the lone org that will comply in the text, they made a list like the other one to show how outnumbered they were visually…🤔

does not exactly answer the question, but…

I’ve been buying last gen Intel Macbook Pros off eBay because nobody wants them. you can put a variety of server oses on them.

I followed one of the many guides for installing proxmox on Rpis. 3node, 4gb rpi4s

I use the cluster for lighter services like Trilium, FreshRss, secondary DNS, a jumpbox… and something else I forget. I’m going to try immich and see how it performs.

my recent goto for cheap($200-300) servers are Debian + old Intel Macbook pros. I have two Minecraft bedrock servers on MBPs… one an i5, the other an i7.

I also use a Lenovo laptop to host some industrial control software for work.

my two bare metal servers are the file server and music server. I have other services in a pi cluster.

file server because I can’t think of why I would need to use a container.

the music software is proprietary and requires additional complications to get it to work properly…or at all, in a container. it also does not like sharing resources and is CPU heavy when playing to multiple sources.

if either of these machines die, a temporary replacement can be sourced very easily(e.g. the back of my server closet) and recreated from backups while I purchase new or fix/rebuild the broken one.

IMO the only reliable method for containers is a cluster because if you’re running several containers on a device and it fails you’ve lost several services.

I think of it like a non-cursive &…

you should watch the OG Cowboy Bebop! it’s anime cowboy bounty hunters… in space!

pretty much a Western set in the near future/present… many direct homages to old Western movies throughout.

beans. I’m set to get the last one tomorrow.

you going to be in the area again?

distro without controversy seems like a unicorn to me…

liking a distro is highly subjective and i’d recommend trying as many as possible to find the one that suits you and your workflow not the opinions/workflows of others.
