- Comment on I'm at a loss on what server to buy 2 months ago:
Rack mount server class machines at home generally aren’t great options. Definitely stick with tower/mini designs.
That said, for a home server a general workstation may be best. I personally have a System 76 Thelio. I added a second drive and installed proxmox with a ZFS mirrored pool.

- Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 5 months ago:
How about putting all app data in storage0 so it can be easily backed up. The thing I care about most if my phone is stolen is being able to build a new one and not have to spend the next day reconfiguring every damned app.

- Comment on Congress’s push to protect kids online is at a crossroads (KOSA, US-focused) 6 months ago:
If these fuckwits really wanted to ‘protect the children’ they’d have a .kids tld with regulation. Then parents and schools can choose to filter everything but that tld, or not.

- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 6 months ago:

So as far as content is concerned, yes he invented it.

Needing a credit card just to use Roku has always been nonsense. I bought a gift card, spent all but $1 of it, and registered with that.
But I’ve since moved to Nvidia shield on the theater and onn on bedroom, office. Much better experience all around.
- Comment on Fucking finally! 8 months ago:
All of this iot shit, and all we really need is the ability for everything to just use an ntp server.
