  Do a search on aliexpress, you’ll get 10 for the $14 linked above

  Vesectomy is the way if you know for sure that you never want children - they aren’t reversible like birth control are and shouldn’t really be considered reversible at all because there’s a very real risk of them not being so

  Yea but notably property taxes pay for schools in the USA, council tax pays for roads, lights, bins etc

  In the UK you don’t get to go to a better school just because your house costs more money

  Council tax doesn’t pay for any of the things that property taxes do. The USA also has separate taxes for bin collection etc

  I think that’s crazy

  I also think that’s crazy. In the UK we pay stamp duty, a one time tax when you buy property. It’s much more if it isn’t your primary residence

  This seems kind of ideal though, computers provide a near constant load (relatively speaking) that combines very well with nuclear energy.

  Perhaps we should be asking why we haven’t already been doing this for the past decade?

  I am surprised that they don’t provide UUIDv4’s, feels like what they provide is somewhat guessable

  You can write shares to CIDR blocks e.g. 100.0.0.0/8

  Oh I know, I had the same thoughts

  Object storage does really bad as a filesystem and it may very seriously be cheaper for you to have a 5TB storage box over 2TB of object storage

  S3 has no list operation, so any time the computer wants to “list” a directory in object storage that is expensive

  I have a similar use case and whilst I’m not quite there yet I’m intending to go with a storage box
