This is exactly how I conduct myself with my maga mother in law. Any bigoted shit in front of my daughter gets publicly squashed and any political topics are quickly dealt with and put in its place. She lives a life of ignorance, dont be mad, feel bad.

Attatch a sausage to a soneloid and make a capacitive button pusher!

That’s silly, they really don’t use much power in the grand scheme of things. It uses a lot of power for a very short period, a small blip. Big power consumption comes from things that run often or all the time. It compounds.

Thank you for putting into words what ive subconsciously been thinking for years. Every search result prioritizes videos at the top and I’m still annoyed every time. Or even worst I have to hunt through a 10 minute video for the 30 seconds of info I needed. Stoohhhhpppp internet of new! Make it good again!

I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.

As an employee, I take offense…

I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(

Check the power supply too. Those mini PCs just use a cheap laptop power brick and sometimes they can’t sustain their full output anymore. I had one server constantly crash and once I swapped the power brick I never had a problem again.

Cool and dark, he would just toss them in baskets in a dark space that didn’t even stay that cool. He might have picked them before they were ripe but I dont remember.

Lemons if stored correctly will last 10 months. My grand father would just toss them in a dark storage room in Greece and they lasted until the next harvest.

I think it just means youre well off and dont have to stress about money. I’m not sure there is a timescale element, I’m confident there are plenty if middle aged folk working paycheck to paycheck stressing about their income.

Oh Christ I have 1000 gallons of rain water storage and I’m stealing that joke…

Their upgrade scripts for on the rails installs have gotten a lot better recently, especially in the last year. But then last upgrade they fucked it all up and made a series of database commands mandatory for the warnings to go away. Uggghhhh.

I love this community, I used to rant about efficiency all the the time on reddits self hosting community and everyone thought I was insane. If the damn thing is going to run 24/7 for 5+ years then put a little thought into its power usage!

I personally love old Dell optiplex micros on eBay. Cheap, plentiful laptop hardware in a cute little box which allows modest upgrades. My primary server in a full sized case is just a laptop CPU, Ryzen 5600g. It brings me joy that my network has four servers and still is under 75w idle for everything including networking gear.

My wife won’t leave the house without several water containers as it she is crossing the god damn Sahara. We live in the North East, its not even dry! I always ask her how she survied childhood without stupid fancy bottles that are marketed. Fortunately she is patient with my crap and loves me…

No gpio but old centrino laptops make excellent low power servers. My primary server was a first gen centrino from 2011 up until recently and I think it only used 12w idle after putting a SSD in there. Had it’s own UPS built in.

I was being dramatic, sorry, yes, this!

You would be the bad guy if you make him return it. Personally I would have a talk with your son about how unusual the act is and how his act could be used as leverage over him, nothing is free. Teach him healthy skepticism. Also call back those parents and tell them to fuck off, completly unacceptable they bought something connected and important for your son without checking with you first. They dont know your house or rules…

Edit: the phone isn’t on friends family plan, right?

I migrated from WordPress to Grav and love it. If you know markdown Grav is easy, efficient and FAST.

I host my own cloud and various other services for myself and whole family. Any 404 resolves to a rickroll and I’m never mad, often letting it play fully.
