This Eliezer Yudkowsky. He wrote a bunch of nerd fanfiction, and is apparently mostly famous for his takes on AI. He is a public figure.

You completely missed the point there, damn. He's saying those things are very likely to be bad investments.

If you're really worried about power use, you could switch to an itx motherboard with an soc laptop chip in it.

The last time i got drunk was two months ago. The time before that was back in January.
- Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic 11 months ago:
Only acoholics actually need to try to convince others that they aren't alcoholics. Nobody goes up to a person on the street to start aggressively asking if they have a drinking problem.
Any serious questions about how alcohol is affecting your life will quickly demonstrate whether it is is or isn't a problem, without you ever saying that you don't have a drinking problem.

- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
And it wouldn't have gpio, would require at least a square foot of floor/desk space, and it would cost more to run. Price. Size. Gpio. Nobody is running their remote controlled car with a cabled desktop sat on it.
- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
You're funny. That makes the total 77$. Still not the 100$ + required accessories that a desktop needs.
- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
Oh his point stands,
No it doesn't. The power supply is 8$ and the case is 10$, from the official store. That's 72$. Stop lying.
- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
Not really. It's made to run headless, and isn't always used for compute tasks. I use mine for running servos. But accessories for the desktop are also not included, so your point doesnt stand regardless.
- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
100$ isn't cheaper than 55$. That's 200% more than the pi. If someone is looking for a pi because of the price, a 100$ computer isn't an option.
- Comment on Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi 11 months ago:
Is it $60 or less? Everytime one of these alternative boards with an assload of more features pops up, nobody bothers to mention the price. Obviously we could spend more money to get more features, that's what spending more money does. You can't replace something without actually offering an alternative. The pi's biggest selling point was that it was cheaper than a steak dinner. If you dont match or beat that, you aren't actually competing with the pi.

Similiar amounts for the literal absolute best. Most people don't spend more than 1500 total though.

- Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running? 1 year ago:
The entire purpose of my inquiry is to not sit here and waste each others’ time going back and forth for hours on end over text trying to figure it out. It’s for us to be able to have a discussion and so that you can see what I’m doing as I’m doing it.
I only post on forums because if everybody used discord and other non-searchable communication mediums, the internet would be a complete failure, or about as available as peoples secret mushroom spots. I promise you that the issues you face are not original. Everybody else who comes across this thread looking for a good place to start is going to be pissed because there's only one or two listed, when there could have been an entire thread full of good places to start, with commentary about specific tutorials and why they suck or what parts a new person could get stuck on.
These forums are not just for you to use as a dump to vaguepost and hope someone will spend several hours of their life cheering you on while you figure out how to do stuff. They are for everyone in the thread, and everyone who comes after while looking for similar solutions. Trying to take whatever support you end up getting away from everyone who comes after you is called pulling up the ladder after yourself, and is the exact opposite of why forums exist in the first place.
If people had actually been rude when you asked a basic question, it would be different. But it isn't. You're not trying to engage with the way this forums actually works and it really shows. As far as I can see, most everyone here is trying to help. You just don't want the great help that is being offered. You want an unpaid private tutor who will cheer you on and sometimes give you a tip to make things easier, while you avoid doing things like reading the manual, looking through tutorials, or heaven forbid, googling what aomething is.
- Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running? 1 year ago:
We know. What you're asking for is the wrong to thing to ask for, here in these forums. Aint nobody got time for walking a strqnger through thw entire install process of five or eight different self hosting programs. My own personal process has taken several months and is still ongoing.
- Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running? 1 year ago:
You said that you have an issue with some software (you did not even bother to specify which)
Actually I did.
You didn't. You very specifically asked for someone to commit to helping you personally with nonspecific issues rather than asking for help from a general group for a specific issue (which would have been more likely to get help).
posted what I’m trying to achieve
I did.
Maybe, but what youre trying to achieve isn't getting a helpful answer for a specific question. You're trying to get someone to commit to helping you for an unspecified amount of time with an unspecified amount of problems. CriticalMass is telling you that is a bad way of obtaining help for a problem anywhere except in school and a job classroom. This is neither of those.
why I’m unable to do it so far
Did that also.
Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.
No, he read your post just fine. You just don't like the answers you're getting. Asking for help with a specific thing is exactly what these forums are for. Asking for help getting started is even okay. We love sharing a good tutorial for getting a new user started with a specific software.
You aren't doing any of those things. You're asking for someone to spend hours of their time, in a call with you, to walk you through a process that has hundreds of online tutorials already out there. You're also getting mad when people tell you that what you're after is not what this discussion forum is for.
Maybe try reading more carefully before calling someone out for some bullshit.
- Comment on how to repair a RJ45 cable? 1 year ago:
There are also connectors that let the cable through the holes in the end, completely removing the need to try and get the strip length exactly right. It's worth looking into if you have to do this more than a once or twice. As a quick example; https://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-80024-Racheting-Installation/dp/B09FWH5RFF/

It's funny, i had the opposite idea. The beginning / middle was very mid, but the ending managed to pull the movie from a c+ to an a-. The emotional climax that tied it all together was the only thing keeping the movie going.
