I stopped buying current releases around 2020.
- Comment on What do you host on your backup servers? 3 weeks ago:
My backupserver is a VM.
The host also has VMs for Homeassistant, an MS AD DC based on Windows 2022, - Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 weeks ago:
What Intel makes up for in GPU, they loose in CPU.
What AMD makes up for in CPU, they loose in GPU.Now we need Nvidia to see whether it will be a full blown flop or full-on dominatiom.
At that point (with Nvidia) you’d only need a CPU, RAM and a MB to make a nearly all Nvidia PC.
An Nvidia case exists already, GPU, networking (NIC, Switch and cabling) - Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 weeks ago:
As I work with HP and HPE at work:
Just don’t buy anything below ProBook and EliteBook. They are trash.In fact, don’t buy anything you see at an electronic retailer without looking and inspecting the product very intensely.
And buy the business-line. They are usually better than consumer product lines. - Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 3 weeks ago:
Do git :)
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
Basically the US equivalent.
Afaik they (try to) have their own IDs, car license plates and many more things.
But they are also dangerous folks as they like to arm themselves with guns (which are obviously uncommon to have as a regular citizen). - Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
I’m not one for conspiracy theories but I could see where some come from that TikTok is made to dumb down the generation and make them even more addicted than local versions (FB, IG, YT).
And with how much weight is behind Tiktok they are probably a very good entry for outside adversaries into local networks.I mean how many have installed AliExpress or WeChat on their phone? Not many have gizmo apps from China (like DJI) but TikTok? Oh boy a fuckload of people have that.

You know, in Germany there are some (we call them Reichsbürger ~ Empire Citizens) that believe the allied installed a puppet government in Germany and we are actually a GmbH (equivalent to US LLCs according to Wikipedia) called the Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH and a kind of proof should be that are ID cards are called “Personalausweis” which could be taken as Personal (eng. Employee) and Ausweis (eng. Identification).
The US basically does all of the Corpo things those conspiracy nuts see into the German government.
From the BS corp politics down to the office rumors. - Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 3 weeks ago:
Yakuza 3. Probably for the 3rd time as well because there was too much time since I played and lost track of the plot.

Don’t really have a feel it needs a movie on top of the show The show was neat though.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 2 months ago:
Even better :D

- Comment on Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting 2 months ago:
Had (and probably have it somewhere) a 2TB Toshiba drive for +5 years in my desktop as a games and programs data grave. Never once had an issue.
My current NAS drives are also Toshiba helium filled drives and though loud are okayish under light read operations. - Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 2 months ago:

my pleasure if I can help :)
- Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 2 months ago:
Many (most?) residential internet service providers do not allow self hosting websites on their network and they’d be dynamic IP anyway though you could work around that somewhat with dynamic DNS since you’re going to need to purchase a domain name and point it to somewhere anyway.
That’s what I already do.
cloudflare-ddns, own domain and done. Except for reliability at night where the ISP reboots my DSL connection at 4am. - Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 2 months ago:

What we usually do is using an SMTP relay.
Plus points on having a spam protection service included and in front of the mail server. - Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 2 months ago:
- 2 servers for reundancy, preferably 3rd one laying around for a quick swap
Overkill for a small startup. We sell to medical practices and they get (at most) a small tower server from HPE (ML30). Backup servers can either be a small 2 bay NAS or a microserver depending on the needs
Pretty decent UPS setup, again multiple units for reundancy
If they can afford that. Most are already good by just using a decent online UPS.
Routers, network hardware, internet uplinks and everything at least duplicated and configured correctly to keep things running
Not a multi million company.
Routers: BS.
Network: Maybe 2x 16 port switches but too much overhead. 1x 48 Port if you really need that.
Internet uplinks: If you have a satellite office and need the S2S-VPN to be constantly up.
Btw: You didnt mention a duplicated phone line ;P- A separate backup solution, on at least two different physical locations, so a few more servers and their network, power and other stuff taken care of
Again overkill.
Backup on the server with something to a 2-Bay NAS and a secondary job with rotating external USB disks to take or somewhere external with you.Monitoring, alerting system in case of failures, someone being on-call for 24/7
Monitoring: Yep
Alerting: Done by monitoring in the best circumstance
On-call 24/7: As this is a small company: LOL - Comment on Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business 2 months ago:
Not fear but you need to have the respect it deserves.

- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 months ago:
Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.
How will you handle competitive matchmaking? I agree for casual matchmaking though
A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking
Maybe moderm in relative termy but notnreally. One of the articles I could find on the quick is from 4 years ago: ign.com/…/cod-warzone-cheaters-are-being-matched-…

Probably because of this?
Distribute third-party app stores as apps, so users can switch app stores by downloading a new one from Google Play, in just the same way as they’d install any app; Allow apps to use any payment processor,
