- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 5 days ago:
Ok. R5 3600, rtx 3070, and 4 spinning drives. Idles at 62W. 80W under normal load (2 concurrent streams). This is a hilariously over specced NAS. This is all 2nd or 3rd life pc parts (outside of the spinning rust), so financially speaking I’m happy with the result.
The long term goal is to use it as a homelab separate from anything I need to work all the time. I want to try running some LLMs locally and use it to control some home automation stuff. That’ll stress it.

At idle or under normal load? Im tempted to get the killawatt out.

Ok, im glad im not the only one that wants a responsive machine for video streaming.
I ran a pi400 with plex for a while. I dont care to save 20W while I wait for the machine to respond after every little scrub of the timeline. I want to have a better experience than Netflix. Thats the point.

- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 week ago:
Capitalism protects the capital (goods, and equipment, on a truck), and values human lives at approx $3 million (based on financial cost for the company when a life is lost).
The value of the truck and the contents of the trailer are frequently greater than the value of the driver for a given trip, and therefore justify more caution and care than any given patient in a doctor’s office.

- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 3 weeks ago:
Im upvoting as this is a valid concern imo.
However, all it’ll take is one studio to find an angle to leverage native linux support in a way that shows its value. What value? I dont know, Im not in that space. But there is a big push from valve here to show devs that this isnt the token effort is was last time, and any effort they put into such a project won’t be wasted.
We just need the killer app, and valve is holding open the space for someone to make it, for now.

I’ve personally got a lot on my plate. In trying to survive. There was a time I was more active, but its a young man’s/woman’s game.

I thought the nazi propaganda on the internet was annoying 20 years ago when I occasionally bumped into it. Now I’ll have to carefully curate the internet to not have to hear it constantly. Jfc.
- Comment on Sounds about right 5 weeks ago:
My CEO told us we need to work faster. 100,000 people and he just makes that blanket statement, like we’re all naughty children for not sleeping on our office floors every night to save commute time.
Literally said he want things that take a week now, he wants done in a day, and a 1 day turn around should now be 1 hr. Did not specify what department or discipline or was referring to. We all just lazy to him.
Of course, this company has the same employees for the last like 10 CEOs. The bulk are just jaded as fuck. Every now and then I see a new hire find the company song and start playing at meetings to lick boot. Then someone pulls him aside to let him know the company was helping the Nazis with eugenics when this was being pushed, so just shut the fuck up, we dont need to be glorifying those idiots.

Yeah, I qualified it as my opinion because I know not everyone agrees. I make sure our cats have many litter boxes, places to nap and places to scratch, and a couple cat buddies. I hope that they do not feel something is being withheld from them. Thats my goal.

They live much shorter lives outdoors. Im not sure how someone could not care about the length of life of something they care about.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 2 months ago:
I see what you mean. I have 3 cats, all girls and spayed. Our neighbor has an outdoor cat (socially acceptable animal cruelty imo), a boy and intact.
They make goo goo eyes at each other through the windows. I dont know what would happen if I let them out, but they look like they’d be friends.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 2 months ago:
I agree and disagree. If you did a large enough trial mleith many animals and people, for each of many test cats in homes, then the data might show this. I just think that even if this hypothesis is true, the reaction to every cat/person won’t be the same for a given test cat. That could be a noisy signal.

- Comment on This Plastic Mr. Fantastic 2 months ago:
I recycle when convenient. I have two can the same company empties, one for trash one for recycling. I’ll fill the recycling, and overflow goes in the trash.
My wife hates it, but the amount of plastic trash that factories produce just blows consumer household recycling out of the water. There are people whose jobs include fillling a whole dumpster each shift. No comparison. Im not bending over backward to be little Dutch boy with my finger in the dam while it’s got a backhoe digging out the foundation.
