I mean, Boeing hasn’t killed them in a fireball of death, hurtling at 18 thousand kph to the earth. The media has this totally wrong, for now. Everything is totally fine, at this time.

Yet another reason to move to Canada, would you look at that.

Dude, do you know how much ass I beat at my last gig? It was tremendous (parts hands away from myself).

You mean… LinkedIn? If there’s any site that perfects the shitpost, it’s LinkedIn. Everyone is bullshitting their pants off there.

I use one of those coax/Ethernet converters in my house. It’s a 2-story place and running Ethernet was going to be too daunting for a room.

Overall it works very well (I had bad experiences with using network over electrical power). The only thing that will be a downer is the gigabit coax converters seem to be expensive. Since I just had 1 client in an isolated network, 100mbps was fine for me but would hamper your NAS throughout. You’d also need to buy 2 sets of converters for your use case, so that’s potentially not cheap if you’re wanting gigabit from end to end.

Some of the newer wireless standards are very quick, but you’d also need to ensure all NICs are compatible and a newer AP wouldn’t be free.

Perhaps talk to the landlord about splitting the cost of getting Ethernet professionally run in all rooms. It may be the most cost effective solution, but the drawback is you walk away with nothing. The landlord would be able to advertise Ethernet ready infra, so there is some benefit for them to do it.

But see, the truly smart scammer would have a potentially decent coin and name it maga-coin. They’re looking for anything except government currency…the super scam, or is it?

Send nukes. That may hold off the aliens long enough for Jeff Goldblum and Slappy Smith to get in there.

“Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority…”

The fact that this had to be stated is a testament to garbage leadership. Notice it’s not even the top priority, just a top priority. These guys will still get bonuses of course.

Damn man, Tiger looks higher than hell in that pic.

They filled the truck beds with a bunch of fish. It’s actually cod racing.

We’ll definitely start calling it X now, definitely.

Yep, I’m speaking in generalities. Overall, my point is that a homelab doesn’t need something expensive because it may not be heavily used, so most of those features are not necessary. If the guy had mentioned running a business or customers, that’d be a different story.

You even had to qualify your own statement that one has to modify hard drive power consumption to achieve acceptable noise levels.

I had a SIEM running on a mini-pc like a champ. It cost me fifteen bucks and taught me a lot. Build to requirement, not title.

Bear in mind, a system that is built to be a dedicated server will be meant to crunch data. That means 2 things:

• loud fans

• heavy electricity use

If you just want a lab, I suggest getting a desktop PC and loading a server OS on it. Practical hardware experience isn’t too valuable because platforms change and they usually make them super simple to maintenance with lots of online support. Getting a desktop will also save you some bread on initial investment.

Dude, that’s hard core!

AI gives creative license to anyone who can communicate their desires well enough. Every great advancement in the media age has been pushed in one way or another with porn, so why would this be different?

I think if a person wants visual “material,” so be it. They’re doing it with their imagination anyway.

Now, generating fake media of someone for profit or malice, that should get punishment. There’s going to be a lot of news cycles with some creative perversion and horrible outcomes intertwined.

I’m just hoping I can communicate the danger of some of the social media platforms to my children well enough. That’s where the most damage is done with the kind of stuff.

That company is generating a huge amount of hate in the industry. It’ll be way too late by the time the captains of that ship realize the size of the iceberg they have intentionally hit.

Exactly. The use-case dictates requirements, then you build according to that. Will this work for a camera system? With the right drive(s) added, sure. Would this run something graphics intensive very well? Not particularly.

Thanks man

Is there a guide that you used for setting up?

Building the infrastructure is a huge expense. A lot of that is getting paid when they start to break ground. That doesn’t mean things can’t fall through, but most of the time when land is purchased and they start building on it, things will complete.
