Tar lzma nuts, amirite?

I installed arch back in the day when I was at university. It was neat, but I had classes and needed to be able to get work done and use wifi, so I installed Ubuntu.

It’s a hash, not anything encrypted.

I recall having a band like that, there were two or three removable sections closest to the watch on each side, those may have been removed already if they aren’t there.

Everyone here is human except for you

You’d probably get better conversations at selfhosted I know some folks there run *bsd network appliances. NASs, firewalls, etc.

You don’t need to pop it out to DD the SD card, you can do it while it’s running. I like to pipe DD through gzip to get a compressed image as the output so I’m not sitting on 16gb file for 3gb worth of files.

Jokes on you, I’m supposed to be doing stuff.

I mean, in the sense of music history it is worth more than any other random one you can find on the street. But maybe somewhere around $500 - $1000 if it was signed by the band.

I recall jaunty jackalope being the Ubuntu version that became my full time os. It was that version that my IBM x31 had everything taken care of on install with the third party drivers checked. I feel like the LTS version following that was where you could buy a generation previous of any hardware and it’d work without much fuss.

It is said to have evolved from some sort of flying manicotti.

With my step kid I’ve basically just told him I’m not making anything else for him if he doesn’t like what I made. If he won’t eat it, he can have fresh vegetables and/or last night’s leftovers instead. I give him some options before I start cooking, so he knows and has some say in what dinner is.

The exception is if I make something that’s objectively gross. I’ve had a few frozen package dinners that looked good but were outright nasty and made sandwiches instead.

Controlling your dose

When you titrate something, you’re controlling how much of something you add to get the desired effect. A sip of coffee is a very small amount of caffeine, you’ll slowly add caffeine to your system throughout the cup. A single caffeine pill is like drinking an entire cup in one swig.

I’m driving a Nissan leaf, and it’s costing me about $180 to drive 10,000 miles (4.2ish mi/kwh average over the past year), compared to about that same amount for under 1,000 miles on my Tacoma. I charge 99% at home using a 120v charger and I back calculated using my average mi/kwh and electricity cost. There’s basically no maintenance, so the only extra cost of ownership is basically tires and brakes. My best guess at the battery degradation so far is about 2.5% per year, but the previous owner went extra lengths to keep the battery in good shape, as do I.

So far it looks like every 4-5 years I can replace the battery at the highest estimate and break even compared to my Tacoma. This is the original battery, still at about 80% capacity from 2016 and almost 50,000 miles.

I hate to admit that I love using these micro business computers, but they’re pretty awesome. Stackable, powerful, upgradeable, cheap second hand or refurbished. I’ve considered nucs, but you can find buckets of these for cheaper.

What’s worse is most of what comes up isn’t even a hands on review, it’s literally someone doing what I just did, which is type “vacuum cleaner” into Amazon and see what came up. Then they give it reviews based on the bullshit in the description.

I want a review from someone who sees these everyday and has a deep hatred of every vacuum in existence. He’s the one who knows that such and such used to be good until they replaced this part with plastic because they have a new CEO, and now it’s no better than a dirt devil.

At least with vacuums however, there’s a few guys out there with carpet swathes, children, and dogs at home that get to take vacuums from work and do youtube tests with them. Unfortunately they usually don’t try to game the algorithm so they’re pretty deep in there.

That sounds like an incredible amount of work vs just adding rough estimates together. I can add two numbers in less time than it takes to reach into my pocket.

I bet you can find a modern spec20 for pretty cheap

Not op, but a nuc idles around 5 watts, and at load can use up to 100 watts depending on specs. A raspberry pi4 idles somewhere around 3.5 watts and at load is still under 10 watts.

I second the Synology, I currently have a 2 drive version setup as raid 1 with 3TB drives. It was super easy to set up, and I haven’t touched it in about 5 years now. Set everything up how I wanted and it’s worked flawlessly ever since. Granted, I set it up for myself, not for anyone with an aversion to technology. I much prefer to have a large amount of my data under my own control, plus I get to keep full resolution photos, videos, etc. without worrying about running out of space.

Plus transferring data over a home network is so much faster than through an ISP (at least with what’s available to me).
