Interesting (scribbles on clipboard)…and for how many football fields would it span, exactly? And weigh how many Ford F150s?

but it’ll cost way way more, and the budget isn’t unlimited.

I wish things weren’t always so short-sighted by default. I mean sometimes things evolve so maybe it’s better to leave room for teardown and improvement or whatnot.

But it seems if you’re not thinking in “quarterlies”, infrastructure that’s built once and simply maintained should cost a lot less in the long run.

But then I guess the contractors would dry up if they didn’t have to come rebuild it a dozen times a decade. :p

Thanks for this, I’m impressed by Bambus’ quality but I’ve always been highly suspect of the true cost of their “turnkey” operation and appliance-like nature.

It was making me sad seeing people just recommending them left and right even though it seemed like a huge step backward from all the hackerspace community-spirit innovation we’ve been seeing with 3D printing.

I’m really glad to see people pushing against that and advising people to consider the ramifications. <3

“Danger zoooone!”

I think I ended up with a hybrid of your approaches haha. I run Proxmox with a VM running Open Media Vault, and that VM ended up hosting all my Docker apps because it has a REALLY nice interface for managing all of them!

I only have my PiHole and 3D printers on separate VMs

Downside right now is, a lot goes down if that OMV server does, so reminder to everyone (including me lol) backup lots!

Yeah as a warm blooded human being I’m all for a little spicy entertainment, but I feel like the mainstream of that industry is becoming even more depraved and unhealthy because, like everything else, it relies on the attention economy and prioritizes addiction. It’s also notoriously cruel and exploitative of its talent.

Ah that explains it. I was thinking new slang just dropped.

“THEY GOT GreatestOfAllTimed!!!” (Air horns, John Cena, etc)

Seriously if we just hardcore PSA’d even basic media literacy skills into our culture, MAYBE people would stop thinking that random internet anecdotes (which are likely largely bot-driven these days) constitute “scientific evidence.”

LOL I wish it were like that. The “kids and their superior grasp of technology.” That’s how it’s supposed to be. They’re supposed to be smarter than us.

Indeed, with desktops and internet forums it really did seem to be going that way…and then with smartphones becoming specialized as content consumption and attention-capture devices, the kids started going backwards.

Yeah, they can swipe their lil’ fingers and use instagram now, but so can a chimp. It’s designed that way.

Using files and folders or printing their homework? Relegated back to the esoteric and arcane arts. It’s tragic.

But this kids who do make a point to learn and teach themselves are doing incredible things.

So I guess, the average has dropped, and now we’re seeing more dramatic extremes on either end of the spectrum. 🤔

…/TED_talk lol

And somebody’s gotta spray that RoundUp… hasn’t there been numerous class actions about the effects of that stuff on people who had to use it? 😬

There’s your “Loading screen game tip” for today lol.

This reminds me of an excerpt in David Graeber’s “Bullshit Jobs”, where he quotes a sailor from like, the East India Company or something.

Something along the lines of “Many suspect the monkeys of the island can speak, but wisely choose not to, knowing they would be taught English and put to work.”

Haha yeah I always thought it was like the Japanese or Portuguese “Ne?” , or British “In’nit?”

It’s like a statement followed by a “You agree too, right?” Lol

I’ve gotten comfortable with Jerboa, but also I don’t get to see GIFs and stuff people post, and I’m not sure if that’s a limitation of the app? I really should try some of the others though.

It’s like leaving cookies and milk out for Adam Jensen or J.C Denton ❤️ lol

Freaking PREACH.

It makes me so sad how people are trying to ProGamer420$69 min-max munchkin-build their way through socializing or finding someone who will go out with them, or they treat dating like the stock market…or any kind of “market.”

“I need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend” is a phrase that immediately signals the wrong mentality, and apps and services are all too willing to jump in and perpetuate this cycle of ignorance and desperate loneliness.

I’m not sure what this is but my first reaction was “Wow what an unsettling sketch of that ‘We Are Number One’ meme.”

When you discuss condiments on BobIsTheOilGuy.com.

What a fantastic awareness campaign for Luanti!

…And on the slim chance you got past that hurdle…
