Power consumption is the 2nd thing i look for in my IT devices (first is “do I need internet/cloud services to run it” … Yes is an absolut disqualifier)

Nice post. Recognisable too. I have an old server from work at home, but came to the same conclusion: with that power consumption it’s no fun running it 24/7 at home.

My wife only said “Don’t you dare”. And now i’m confused. The words imply a dare, her tone sounded like a threat

He could not find back his porn and needs AI so he can ask to find the right clip?
- Comment on First file server 2 weeks ago:
Bit broad question but Sounds like a nas can be a way to go. Read up on raid and think about your backup strategy first.
(I use a synology nas with 4Tb disk at home that backups to an offsite readynas with 4x 4tb disks in raid config and encryption)

if it works it’s not stupid

even when you were kid? Or teenager? not 100% sure but started age 12 or so (but it’s guessing, been a while). I’ve never been living completely alone
- Comment on 7 for me 2 weeks ago:
neither can I (and if I would, I think my wife would want a word or two)
- Comment on 7 for me 2 weeks ago:
but what do you do if there’s a fire or some other cause for rapid evacuation? In that case, my appearance is the least of my problems. But jumping out of bed and taking the duvet with me will do don’t you think ?
- Comment on 7 for me 2 weeks ago:
20 for as long as I can remember, and i’m convinced it’s the best by far
- Comment on all year round outdoor kitchen 2 weeks ago:
True, but in my defend, most are sliding panels 😜 , so half-outdoor-ish. Looking fo a kind of “best of both worlds” approach. Just want an outdoor kitchen I can use year around, not limited by the weather (cold doesn’t count, just the potability of a bit of rain and snow protection (and maybe a bit of wind which is good during long smoker sessions)
- Comment on [Weekly thread] How is everyone doing with their home improvements? 2 weeks ago:
I’m becoming more and more a fan of automated lighting. Partly motion detectors, but also home assistant that is monitoring the light levels from a nearby weather station and turns on the lights in the living room (and turns them off 22.30). The same goes for my home office. HA turns on the music when I start my laptop and turns off the music and desk (docking, monitors etc) 5 min after I turned off my laptop.

Guilty too. There are names on router- and switch interfaces. Servers get fixed IP from dhcp so is in the note field there too. That’s about it
- Comment on Meta is making users who opted out of AI training opt out again, watchdog says 3 weeks ago:
I used the one-step process to opt-out : <delete-account>
No, I don’t have the illusion the data will be gone, just as I don’t think the opt-out really works. Meta just don’t get more data and advertisement revenue out of me.

And please no bloatware!! Oh wait, before anything else : NO, and I really mean NO AI and/or VR shit. Just none. None A T A L L
- Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons 1 month ago:
Long time ago I left Windows and went to linux. Yes, there is a learning curve, but once past that (digital)life became so much faster/better. I even changed my wife’s pc to linux. She knows nothing about pc’s and only said 'it looks different now" but she has much less issues on linux (elementary OS) then she had with micro$oft.
So, as I read it, you feel like you have some time left to decide. I suggest to take a live-distro, put it on an USB stick and boot from that. Yes, it’s sometimes slow/sluggish but it works and you can get an impression of the distro. Take an other one, try that too, and one more and… Ah well, just play with a couple and see which one you like best.
Once you have chosen (remember, it’s not a life-time decision (!), switching distro’s is relatively easy) install it by making your PC dual boot. That way you can have windows as a sort of back-up in case you need it.
hint: take a look at distrowatch.com

It’s not just them. I live in Sweden and I can’t understand why those from the middle east-area in the (men only) dressing room wrap themselves tightly i a towel and hide in the toilet to change clothes.

Taking one for the team. Much appreciated ! If it had those powers you’d receive much help & support. Hell, I even think people will fight you for it!

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 2 months ago:
Never started buying from amazon. The stories on Reddit where enough to turn way. I admit having searched the site now and then, but you get the same prices elsewhere, Especially in Europe there is no need for them.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 2 months ago:
Probably not here, probably none at all. They blindly follow Trump. And proud to be blinded too I might add: Before I left reddit I wanted to ask a similar question in the republican subreddit. However, they where so loud and proud they found liberals on the subreddit and banned them for life I never bothered to put out any questions there.
