- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 3 weeks ago:
It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.
The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.

I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.

- Comment on "Fry" is an ambiguous word in English 4 months ago:
“cook well in a cold oven” at least makes sense in the context of the time. Ovens then were not supplied continuous heat - instead, they were fired up to a high heat, and then as it slowly cooled food was baked in them according to the current temperature. A cold or slow oven would be at the low end, and a hot or quick oven would be shortly after it was first heated.

It never required a 3rd party launcher, just a PSN account to link to a Steam account.

- Comment on ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say 6 months ago:
Per the article, this looks to be limited to mobile internet and not traditional broadband. While I can understand the practicality of carving out unique bands of the wireless spectrum for specific uses, charging extra for it seems scummy.

Because the franchisees pay for the machines, and McDonald’s corporate gets sweet kickbacks for locking them in to using those machines exclusively. And Taylor makes bank on service fees to repair “broken” machines.
