At first glance, it looked like that cup was filled with bright red jelly.

An Escalade is objectively more powerful than my car; doesn’t make it better at getting groceries, and it cost eight times as much.
Anyway, enjoy your thing, I guess.
- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 1 day ago:
Right, so it does basically the same thing mine does, and I don’t need an external DAS, and I can upgrade hardware, and it cost me a fraction of yours. I don’t know how much power mine uses because it’s a non-issue. My bill is the exact same as before I deployed it.
- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 1 day ago:
I wouldn’t have even thought to purchase a new Mac anything as a server. That is definitely not their target use case.
What are you running at home that requires “insane power?” I’m running a servarr stack on an old Xeon that cost a fraction of a Mac mini and it works just fine. And I have room in the case for full size HDDs.
I’ve heard of people using Mac mini as servers, and I guess whatever makes you happy. I definitely don’t see how they’re the ultimate home server.
- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 1 day ago:
The Mac Mini M4 is unbeatable as a home server imo.
How do you figure that?
- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 1 day ago:
Why not use the NAS as a NAS and pick up a cheap SFF or mini workstation for the compute tasks? Only reason I would ever consider running your endpoint as a server 24/7 is cost/availability of just adding a dedicated box.

eBay has tons of off-lease/refurbished computers for pennies on the dollar. Hard format the drive, install your distro, and you’re off and running.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. It’s malware on my computer against my will (or would have been, had I not switched). I’m not comforted that I can supposedly toggle the malware off. I don’t like it on any platform. Your dismissiveness and attempted normalization of corporate spyware is disconcerting.

I don’t care how much Microsoft tries to assure me that a screen scanning and indexing software can be toggled off. I don’t want that kind of spyware on my computer at all.

11 was fine until they forced Copilot Vision on everyone. That was the straw for me to finally bail to Linux

Yes. If we want Gen Z to rise up and do something, all we need to do is take away their social media.

I’m noticing a trend of no-context posts just assuming everyone just read/watched literally the same story as OP did.
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 weeks ago:
If you can, I’d skip the laptop and go for a used workstation SFF now. $250 or so would buy you plenty of server.

I would highly recommend a track saw instead, depending on use case. Fingers don’t grow back.

Like actually back. Popular, even. I get downvoted to oblivion for making fun of mullets. I don’t understand a world where mullets are not just here, but defended as a legitimate hairstyle.

My dude, looking at this and your other comments, I have to alert you that you might be losing it. Regardless of content, your speech is disorganized and doesn’t make sense.
