Well I would recommend Akami/Linode because I’ve had some form of an instance for close to a decade and any downtime has been my own fault. I did just start playing with one of their premium compute linodes for some experiments. I have had Nextcloud in a shared resources node and it wasn’t bad, but it was slow. Currently I just run AIO on my home server mapped to the NAS for storage. If I set it up again I think I would do the same on Linode but it is pricey.

Did you know openwrt makes their own router now. It’s called the openwrt one. They’re not had for the price, mines been pretty solid. And they have a bunch upgrade options.

I’ll give you props, that was pretty funny.

I’d say I’m pretty techophallic 🍆 I have more than a few Kickstarter beta products collecting dust, and I’ve broke my arch install over using the AUR

It’s like the Comic Sans version of The Ring.

It was actually. You could see the Milky Way, I wish I had got pics. That same cruise we went directly over the Mariana trench as well.

Been there, not much to see, honestly.

Personally, I’d use the Pi 5 for your Plexbox and HA server. I have had success running both those on the PI 4 with boot from an SSD stick. If you’re unsure what OS, just use the Raspberry official Debian server image. Whatever you do, don’t use an SD card for your hard drive. It’s funny when people complain that the Pi sucks and they only use the SD card.

Have you been able to verify your SSDs are good? I got two back to back that were bad from Amazon not too long ago.

I’m not really sure why it was such a small sample size. It definitely casts doubt on some of their conclusions. I also have issues with some methodology used. I think a better study that came out a week or two ago was the one that showed visible neurological decline from AI use.

I see the leopards got a new face to eat.

I think you’ve got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there’s no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn’t applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don’t interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.

Dumbass

Nice, I want to do something like that. How much did it cost?

There are redundant systems on modern planes that can handle multiple failures. If they’re saying it’s fuel related my guess is dirty jet fuel. It would explain a stuck fuel valve. There’s lots of ground crew checks before flight, and one is checking the fuel tanks for contamination. Just a speculation.

Yeah, I guess if they would have framed it as one month free it wouldn’t sound as good. I remember using it and completely ignoring everything but the actual Internet. Trolling on AIM back in the day was pretty fun.

So they were just giving away America Online by the 700 hour quantity? I now blame AOL for more than I had previously considered.

Chaotic neutral

Yup, the US government just said they’re done investigating Epstein. Case closed. So naturally people have a few questions.
