- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
Do that while explaining how that contract clause works!
- Comment on Need recommandations for a home server 1 month ago:
Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.
- Comment on Abortion restrictions tied to higher rates of intimate partner homicide, says study 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, they see that as a feature.
- Comment on Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform? 2 months ago:
Similar for me. I went with PopOS this time, and it all just works. I’m thinking of switching to KDE Neon, just because I’m a KDE fan. One piece of advice I have is to have your home directory on it’s own so that if you do switch distros, you just install to the system drive and you don’t affect your data.
- Comment on Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform? 2 months ago:
In my mid 50’s. I use a steam deck and my PC running Linux.
- Comment on Just a bunch of enclosures 2 months ago:
You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.
- Comment on A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions 2 months ago:
I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.
It’s definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that’s not worth the effort.

Exactly this.

I want something like this with a sas HBA and a slot for a GPU
- Comment on Nintendo Switch emulator suyu continues on from yuzu - first release is up 3 months ago:
Reminds me of the Mac sound ‘sosumi’. Apple had an agreement with Apple Records that they wouldn’t make a computer that could play music. ‘Sosumi’ was one of the default sounds and is pronounced ‘So sue me’.
- Comment on Someone call the PETA folk 3 months ago:
So is PornHub, xVideos and Playboy.
- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 3 months ago:
I’m OK with them wanting to keep making money from it as long as they update it for compatibility with newer operating systems. Selling something they have completely abandoned us not cool.
- Comment on What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method? 4 months ago:
Yes.
- Comment on Taylor Swift getting to the trade center. 4 months ago:
I stood and watched the first tower fall. One of my brothers was in 5 World Trade, another in 7 World Trade. They’re both still alive, but saw people jump. I get it’s been a long time, and people should be able to make memes like this. To this day, I still can’t watch any shows or TV shows even remotely related to the towers falling. This definitely still affects people.
- Comment on Interview: Jeri Ryan On Taking Seven From Borg To Bi Captain Of The Enterprise To ‘Star Trek: Legacy’ 4 months ago:
I think that was a familial thing, not romantic.

- Comment on Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start? 5 months ago:
OK Biff lol
- Comment on First Nas Build 5 months ago:
Here’s my advice. The most important things are that you have a free GPU slot and another PCIE slot on whatever you get. You’re going to want a GPU for transcoding when disk space gets tight. You want the extra PCIE slot for a sas card. Disk shelves are surprisingly cheap, and you can keep adding disk that way. They daisy chain.
As far as the OS, I’m partial to Unraid and Truenas but seriously, anything you are comfortable with will work.

GTA:Alpha Centari!
- Comment on What were your top favorite video games as a kid? 7 months ago:
Jumpman and Loom (Commodore 64) really stand out.
- Comment on Keep in mind that social security is set to run out in 10 years time. 7 months ago:
That’s exactly right. They did that because they don’t need it and don’t want to pay into it. Our education system is horrible, imagine if people without kids in school were able to just not pay into the education system? This is the same as that.
- Comment on Who makes those terrible sheet cake things that every Chinese buffet has? 7 months ago:
Sysco foods. Cisco is the router company, but some of their stuff tastes the same.
- Comment on A small UK software company which trademarked the name Threads over 10 years ago is demanding Meta stop using the name within 30 days 7 months ago:
Wasn’t there something similar about the name Meta and nothing came of that either?
- Comment on I Donated My Eggs to Help Pay Off My Student Loans 8 months ago:
Yes, but in this context ‘donated’ is used in the biological sense, not financial. She sold her eggs, but she is the egg donor.
- Comment on Google Fiber is getting outrageously fast 20Gbps service 8 months ago:
Before they die. Some won’t make it which is why it’s ‘most’.

From the picture in that article, those guns would blow up in the shooter’s hand.
