Relatively easy fix though. Get away from advertiser supported platforms and use community supported ones.

Afaik its always going to have some parts of uranium right? 50% after one half life, 25% after two half lives and it will keep on halving practically forever (or till the last atom decays). In the end it comes down to when you consider it a negligible amount.

If you aren’t worried about power costs, yes, go for it.

I calculated the energy cost of running a 100w PC 24/7 for 2 years, covers the cost of a new mini PC + 2 years of its own energy cost. So I just bought a NUC which draws 7-8W. Less noisy too. Laptops usually draw less than desktops though so you may be good there.

I do it in nano over ssh. The shortcuts suck but it gets the job done.

I once went on a role playing server and it had really nice people on there. Everything was civilized too, they had police officers walking around lol.

And it’s a valid point. Services like audible and Netflix offer something that can not be matched by traditional storage, that’s why they are profitable to begin with. Streaming content instead of downloading it to each device is a good selling point, one which is covered by self hosting this stuff.

If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.

This is how I live now.

This is what it means to be old.

I’m 34.

Good old Maslow. This is correct. The first two require money. As a single person without children, I’ve generally got the first two covered. I can not cover the third and I also feel like any amount of money will not help me either. This is why people with money say you cant buy happiness… because it is presumably at the top of this pyramid when you achieve it all.

World of Tanks huh? And Hearts of Iron, I see… In my observation - 30% they a nazi, 50% a commie and 20% just casually enjoy these games. And by nazi and commie, I mean what that word meant in 1940.

Devils advocate time: Windows does this because users are stupid and will never update their PCs if they don’t have to. I’ve met too many people who never update their tech. Operating systems and the software they run is far too complex to be 100% secure so we mitigate that by updates. They are a necessity. The vulnerability responsible for EternalBlue was patched and pushed with a windows update before the ransomware attack, how many users ignored it? Windows is so annoying with its updates because it has to be.

Not sure I’d prefer the easy internet of the past though. I hope no one forgets websites used to store your password in plain text and just sent it to you if you forgot. Oh and password length? Any 4 characters will do! Buying online? Yeah just need those super secure 3 digits on the card please. There’s a lot of unneeded fluff today like the promos and cookie disclaimers could have been handled at protocol level. But what is there for security is generally good change, even if it makes the process more complex.

Charon is such a slut. He’ll do anything for money.

So whats the scam?

Imo too high power consumption for 24/7 operation so I wouldn’t use it that way. If I only had this machine to work with, i’d probably use it as a media server or NAS but turn it on only as needed. Wake on LAN to turn it on and configure it to auto turn off.

My google history hits for powershell for loop is is in the dozens.

Not op, and any Marxist feel free to step in, but 100% tax is technically communism. And I mean full final stage communism where money no longer exists. If income is taxed at 100%, then money no longer needs to exist since… well you never really see it. The tax is spent on everything. You work if you can and everything that can be, is provided for you. Purely from an economic point of view. This is though an ideal and something that would need to be worked towards over long periods of time.

In fact, you should delete the terminal altogether. On a related note, powershell access is considered taboo in corporate environments by IT departments. When security audits are done, you lose a point if powershell can be used. It is in fact considered a hacking tool.

Get a job in the forest industry and you’ll be: exercising daily and getting ripped. Sisyphus has a job, it is pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity. Personally, I’d go nuts because I crave mental stimulation.

I recently discovered, the “next track” button on my steering wheel is not actually “next track” but “skip 30sec” in the podcast app (AntennaPod). Absolute game changer. I skip all sponsors now! YMMW depending on the app.

Oh yeah, this is the stuff business dreams are made of.
