US power sucks plenty!
Texas is an extreme example, but outages happen everywhere. It was only a bit over 10 years ago when Sandy basically hit half the US and took power out in the tristate area for weeks. With climate change making things worse…
But even when things are running well, not including the random downed line or busted transformers, its still better to give your hardware clean power and avoid the small spikes.
If I can, I buy direct downloads.
If I can’t do that, I’ll buy the CD (as long as its direct or a small label).
If I can’t, or its one of the big labels, I’ll find it elsewhere. I’d rather buy merch to support the artist directly than buy anything that goes through the big labels.
“Hulking out”?
He made a mistake assumption, I provided info, he responded with nastiness, I blocked. I really don’t see what you’re hung up on here.
Nah, try reading through his messages in order. He gets nasty right away, as he did to another who pointed out his mistake. I figured I’d provide some supporting context, he again behaved like a dick. So I blocked him.
Doesn’t seem problematic to me at all.
Wow, you are not only unable to accept that you’re wrong, you make references to exactly what others have talked about, and then you act like a dick about it.
Your comments apparently add nothing of value, so… Goodbye.
Canonical was the early 2000s. Redhat was the early 90s. Inspire was the early 2000s. Collabara was mid-2000s. Ximiam was late 90s.
Not only was open source pretty popular, it had a not-insignificant group of companies working on it.
He’s very much correct.
Let’s see…
My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about… 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.
I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I’d say about $40-50/mo is what I’m spending on powering the servers in my office.
Definitely puts off some heat, but that’s partially because it’s all in one rack, and I’ve got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It’s about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it’s a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
To add to this, virtually all GPUs out there with DP are DP++ and will not require an active adapter.
Consumers will almost never need to consider an active adapter for DP to HDMI, as well as single link DVI. HDMI to DP will always require an active (powered) adapter. As would DP to dual link DVI, VGA, or component.
You may be surprised to know, not only does he know where but he makes some too! In fact, he made some with Muñequita Enfadada and it can be found on xnxx!
(I couldn’t resist)
Bigger number sounds better for the ISP.
I think you’re missing my point, yes.
Equality in the law, freedom of association, civil liberties, etc., etc. while technically in the US we “have” these freedoms, in reality we do not - we are subject to capitalism with regulatory capture, fines that unfairly punish the poor, so on. I’m on a phone, so I’m not typing out a dissertation.
Probably the best reference would be libertarian socialism or libertarian communism. The right wing Libertarian movement (which is dominant in the US) is really anarchi-capitalism, which is the complete opposite direction of left libertarianism (which is anti-capitalist).
Anyway, yes, there are a variety of ways freedoms are limited by simply being unable to afford things, or even being put into a position where you don’t have the time to dedicate to those things. To me, that’s fundamentally wrong.
Big L little l.
Big L is the party - and yeah, it’s just Republicans in a different T-shirt.
Little l is the ideology, which in many ways matches up with what I think, but to get there you need so many social programs to put people on even ground that we should have but don’t. Universal healthcare being only one of so, so, so many.
Edit: And just to add, I think Rand was just a precursor to the Big L Libertarians, and little to nothing to do with the little l. You can have true individual liberty without the protections and support to enable those liberties.
That’s what is enabled when you check that box.
So a few comments…
I’d second this, if only because it’s super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don’t want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.
That’s said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.
For lots of services that require little CPU and ram, I use tiny/mini/micro PCs, bought used. I get them for anywhere from $100-$400, and usually all I do is drop in an SSD. That includes Linux VMs when I’m testing distros or deployment on a distro, since 32gb ram on the host is more than enough to leave 4-8gb ram to the VM.
For some heavier applications, I also have a 4RU case stacked with drives, which I use as a third NAS (VM with drives passed through), large DBs, etc. Its just a 1700x with 64GB ram, and that’s plenty.
For most things (DNS, a few web servers, git, grafana, Prometheus, rev proxies, Jenkins, personal fdroid repo, homepage, etc) I just use the tiny/mini/micro’s. Imo, you can’t go wrong with those for your services, and a big case with spare parts and lots of drives for your NAS. Especially at the price you mentioned. Just remember you can separate your services easily, so don’t focus on getting everything in one spot, you can make your requirements (and cost) go up quickly.
Agreed, I prefer trunk with native to the vlan for services, each container that the reverse proxy will hit in its own vlan (or multiples for differing sets of services, but I can be excessive).
I’d block any traffic initiated from that vlan to all others, and I’d also only allow the specific ports needed for the services. Then fully open initiated from the general internal vlan.
I say “no”, but for your case and for your mom, I’d agree with what others have said, a standalone library.
BUT! Only the Christian movies. Put them in a library called “The Christerion Collection”.
I’d put in the remaining $5 needed for Thomas to be bought
Worth taking a look at the battery - especially an old one on a repurposed device - before considering it safe. Spicy pillows happen.
