  I agree that single HDDs are terrible, but once you raid multiple of them together, it becomes much better. And now with zfs even better still

  You know the greatest part of this seeing a Canadian get angry, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

  Who needs align right when you can just hold the space-bar till it’s there, or if you are a pro tab then space for perfect alignment

  I forced it on our office over maybe 15 years ago, I’ve finally just about stopped receiving complaints. The vast majority of the push back was document compatibility, but not in the way you think. The problem was the original document was created by a fucktard or opened by one, so many people don’t know how to correctly format a document using styles, know how to use page breaks, line breaks, etc etc. that’s us recieving documents and creating documents. To be fair I didn’t initially fully understand this as well, but it literally took me 4 hours to read the manual.

  Other problems include Microsoft’s fuckery using a supposedly open standard and allow proprietary code/content within the same open standard.

  The only reason I can see to be against this is because of religion, as long as safeguards are put in place it should be a non issue. Switzerland has been doing it since 1942

  Yeah assuming young means below 16, you can’t expect babies to know how to do online piracy, give them until they at least 10 or so

  I can recommend the nanopi r4s, supported by openwrt, ipfire and I think opnsense. Ive been using it as my main router for almost a year now on a symmetric 1Gb connection. Best part is it’s super cheap and tiny
