I am an archo-communist, cat-loving dude with a very eclectic range of interests and passions. Currenty, I'm into networks of all kinds and open source software.

  • LG to offer subscriptions for already purchased appliances and televisions, evolving into a provider for “Home as a Service”

    Jump

  • Yeah, in my facetiousness, I forgot that I actually do something remarkably similar in terms of a sewer bill.

  • Tesla Starts Cybertruck Production Two Years Behind Schedule

    Jump

  • Fuck Tesla without any lube.

  • How it Started, vs how it's going.

    Jump

  • Thanks, mate! I'll take all I can get.

  • LOL! I know right.

  • Yes, I did get the processor off of eBay for 75 bucks and the motherboard for 150. That I figured was a score and it shipped from Taiwan so it didn't quite take forever to get here. The drives, case, RAM, and low-end GPU I got from the flea markets.

  • It's a Proxmox server that's well under subscribed and utilized. I currently use it as a remote back-up for my brother's business computer and the family's various machines. It has one Arch Linux VM for that purpose. Another Arch Linux VM has two docker containers for running Mastodon and Lemmy.

    I want to do more with it but right now it's time for me to buckle down and actually take some steps toward bettering my career because I am sick of being a senior Windows desktop support technician. I really want to do Linux/BSD systems administration or DevOps stuff. I hate feeling like I have to learn under the gun but, at this point, thinking about work on Monday is making me physically ill. The only relief will be knowing that there is an end to this tunnel.

  • A lot of the components I actually bought at computer swap meets/flea markets. Some vendors had corporate cast-off hard drives and all kinds of good deals.

  • Mark my words we are soon going to have to subscribe to our toilets. You get one flush a day for free. Save money by subscribing to the flush-lite which gives you 2 additional flushes. If you choose not to subscribe, you will be charged 2.99 for each flush beyond the first one.

  • Nice! I built my server with a brand new tower case and bunch of second hand components. It has a 2016-era Xeon E5-2690 with 128GB of ECC RAM and 12 TB of storage in a RAID z1 config. I built for less than 500 bucks.

  • What's a big tech product that you actually find useful?

    Jump

  • Honestly I cannot think of any right now because I am so fed up with corporate proprietary crap.

  • Well, point of fact, if you have a mortgage, your landlord becomes the bank anyway. You only get to own it after 30 years, and that is, if you haven't needed to take out a home equity loan or other line of credit against your home to make necessary repairs.

  • If corporations are gonna be greedy. It's time to steal some of that value back for us. Huzzah!

  • Hey that's a pretty good setup! It's a lot better than mine! LOL.

  • This is fucking ridiculous! Do you have to buy a subscription in order to use the appliance? If so, it seems to me that this would constitute unfair trade practice. Some shit just does not belong on the internet. Can you imagine the serious and life threatening situation that could develop, if say, somebody hacked into a system and turned gas stoves on and a fire developed? No, it's time to draw the line at IoT!

  • Heat makes you tired

    Jump

  • Lately there's been an awful lot of inescapable heat.

  • Request: file-sharing service

    Jump

  • You've got Pixelfed which is similar to Instagram.

  • What are you using for photo storage and organization?

    Jump

  • Nextcloud works well for general files. Immich is the way to go specifically for photo storing. It's got a whole lot of added features.

  • If your requirements don't need federation, then look into nextcloud.
