You could also argue that if even if you're not self-hosting (i.e. renting server hardware from a 3rd party), your data is still in a siloed environment. While it may be accessible by law enforcement if you are targeted specifically, it's unlikely to be dragnetted like the data collected from popular apps.

We have two full baths, but the master bath has two showers which is the fucking bomb if you live with someone you’re cool being naked around.

Sure, but many people in the US have only one option for hardwired internet. Starlink and 5G options are the only other option.

I pulled down 100mbps and was able to FaceTime just fine. Maybe too much lag for serious online competitive play, but I never measured it.

And no bandwidth caps from what I’ve seen.

We got one for our camper. Works really well though we only use it in the summer months. What are your complaints?

Install Ubuntu.

Just built a gaming pc for my wife. Installed Ubuntu. Everything just…worked? Even wireless drivers.

Install steam. Go through menus to enable Proton. Install Hogwarts Legacy. Works fine.

Most I had to do was edit a single text file to get her 8bitdo controller to work.

Seattle used to have a combination laundromat/bar that was called Sit and Spin.

Never had a chance to go. I imagine it was a very horny place. Also at the time median age in Seattle was like 23.

Tons of amazing original content, and very cheap.

 
 

Per my previous post, I’m working on updating my server that’s running a J3455 Celeron with 16gigs of ram.

Goals:

  • Support at least six hard drives (currently have six drives in software RAID 6). Can move 7th main drive to nvme.
  • Be faster at transcoding video. This is primarily so I can use PhotoPrism for video clips. Real-time transcoding 4K 80mbps video down to something streamabke would be nice. Despite getting QuickSync to work on the Celeron, I can’t pull more than 20fps unless I drop the output to like 640x480. Current build has no PCIe x16 slot.
  • Energy efficiency. Trying to avoid a dedicated video card.
  • Support more RAM. Currently maxed at 16gb.
  • Price: around $500
  • Server-grade hardware would be nice, but I want newer versions of quicksync and can’t afford newer server hardware. Motherboard choice is selected primarily because of chipset, number of SATA ports, and I found one open box.

Hoping to move my main drive to the NVME and keep the other six drives as-is without needing a reinstall.

Thoughts?

 

Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?
