Get a power measuring device if you don’t have one and consider the real cost of buying something new if you already have something. For instance, I have an older gaming laptop I am considering repurposing for my home automation stuff. While idling it draws about 10w which is amazing to me and a number I never would have guessed. For me that works out to (24 hours * 10w * 365 days* 1000w/Kw ) 87kwh per year. I pay about 10 cents per kwh so say $10 a year. Buying something to save a little power will never work out.

My current home server is an intel NUC from 2013! It can’t do some of the things I would like to add on, but it is a great media server and downloader. Powerful hardware isn’t really a necessity.

Damn, giving me flashbacks of slowly moving through ACLs then hitting domain groups, domain local groups, global groups, then eventually universal groups as AD moved forward in complex situations.

Got to admit it worked well though.

Can I use Proxmox on generic hardware that will run Linux? I was unfamiliar with it but I am intrigued once I went to the website.

Contemplated it, but dealing with infrastructure bores me. So I think I will just put up with the ad and the lowered expectations.

No. I got that too. I’m talking about:

“ Strictly confined Kubernetes makes edge and IoT secure. Learn how MicroK8s just raised the bar for easy, resilient and secure K8s cluster deployment. https://ubuntu.com/engage/secure-kubernetes-at-the-edge”

I just installed Ubuntu server on my little home server which has faithfully run Windows 10 Pro since it came out. I didn’t want to deal with the ads on Windows 11. I ssh into the Ubuntu install and there is an ad in the terminal!

iPhones for my elder relatives.

I call that the Adam Savage approach from some half-remembered statement from him.

I thought the government was tracking the serial numbers on larger bills that were dispensed through ATMs? I didn’t hear that from a reliable source, but it seems pretty simple from a number of transactions standpoint.

I agree with that “and”

Does anyone have a guess on the translation of “Caution Now” (the restaurant)?

I’m enjoying the show a fair amount

Honestly my google auto-type keyboard suggests that any time I post.

I’m in a conservative small town. My Walmart no longer even sells one use grocery bags! They had signs up for a couple months before hand.

I’m fairly all-in though I do have a gaming laptop I use to play some games. For exceptions I find that I use Google Docs for shared notes with people who do not use Apple.

Another same reply. There is a catch-all now but there wasn’t originally.
