Yep, all you have to do is buy a hot swap bay for your computer, and sometimes enable the feature on your motherboard.

A sufficient amount of violence can solve all problems. It’s not necessarily the best solution for any given problem, or even a good one, but it’s definitely a solution.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 5 months ago:
That’s definitely false. Only a small percentage of people globally die while in water, while nearly everybody dies in a gas.
Plus, you are ignoring the addictive properties of gasses. While withdrawal symptoms of moderately addictive water take days to get serious, the withdrawal symptoms of much more addictive gases occur within only a couple minutes.

To be fair, portal 2 was also built when valve valued quality over profit.
- Comment on McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants’ Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456’ 5 months ago:
I don’t think you were quite grasping the scope the McDonald’s operates at. That’s only a couple hundred per location, and fast food restaurants tend to have extremely high turnover, so that’s definitely not an unrealistic number.

Because drones are expensive, and it would be a waste of money to use them on poor people.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 6 months ago:
I mean, if I was a key part of the nuclear program of the US, and there was another country specifically targeting the US’s nuclear program, I would assume myself to be at Target.

80,000/70 ≈ 1150 1 Million * 1150 = 1.15 Billion

- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 year ago:
The Android app works well. I rarely have issues with it, except when switching back and forth between the web player and and the app, when it sometimes doesn’t properly sync progress fast enough.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 year ago:
In terms of most used for me, it would be:

- Home assistant: both automated and remote control of your lights, thermostat, etc.
- Audiobookshelf: only really useful if you have an audiobook collection
- Vault Warden: self-hosted bitwarden. Not really all that important to self-host, since a bit warden’s clients are open source.
- Frigate: only useful if you have security cameras.
- Navidrome: only useful if you have a music collection.
- Jellyfin: only useful if you have a movie / TV collection.
