- Comment on Of all the ideas to get workers back in the office, TikTok's employee surveillance is the worst 1 year ago:
catching a car fire in the parking lot […] notifying […] employees so they could move their cars, preventing the loss of hundreds of cars.
sounds like a really bad idea. there is a reason everyone needs to leave the office when a fire alarm happens.
- Comment on Solar and wind energy could fulfill energy demand 10-fold, Oxford study finds 1 year ago:
if it’s to cheap, the market wont be able to profit enough, so I’m pretty sure they will find a way to squeeze us dry anyway
- Comment on I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app. 1 year ago:
Oh cool, thanks for providing the source

Everything that’s normal between age 10-20 is just as it is.
Everything you get to know between 20 and 30 is the hot new shit.
Everything after age 30 is just another fad you don’t want to invest time to get to know anyway
- Comment on Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans 1 year ago:
I never used an iPhone. Got one from work but put it in a drawer and kept using my Android.
Magsafe? What does it change? A short google sounds like it’s NFC with magnets. What’s so special about it?
I’m using a pixel 5 with grapheneOS. Battery lasts for two days easy and is 80% recharged in 90mins. I have a night stand that wireless charges the phone every night. What I’m trying to say is, battery is a non problem for me
- Comment on Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans 1 year ago:
“I’ll never leave Apple but the iPhone 11-15 are all the same exact phones,” said one user in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
I’m getting serious Image vibes here
- Comment on Microsoft May Bring AI Capabilities To Apps Like Paint and Photos On Windows 11 1 year ago:
I wouldn’t be so sure about it. There is a famous quote from Thomas Watson:
“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers”
AI is overhyped but has so many applications, it won’t go away any time soon.
- Comment on Hardware help! Looking to upgrade my home server 1 year ago:
TBH, you need additional backups anyway and you don’t need 100% uptime. You don’t need to pay much for it for internal redundancy and server features.
Buy the nuc, buy a 10GB HDD with usb/usb-c and an external case and your are good to go.
But in the end, any PC will work. Get a cheapo PC, buy 1 SSD for the os and container and a big external disk for storage.
I’m running a Ryzen 5 5600G with 32GB Ram, B450 Chipsets, 1TB SSD for internal and 2 4tb SSD for storage in a micro atx. Cost me around 1200€ bucks 2 years ago.
You can even use an old laptop with a broken panel if you like.
Another possibility is, to buy a cheap (old) server from some company renewing it’s support contracts (loud, space, power hungry).
Or buy an fanless industrial pc. Anything is possible. You could even try to use arm.
I’d recommend to optimize for power consumption, noise (depending where it is located in your home) and storage. Not ECC or redundancy. as long as you do regular backups to another system, which you should do in any case, there is no reason to pay double for something.
First thing I bought after my system was running, was an additional nic, to be able to use the server as a firewall, not an UPS or another hot standby PSU
