Unless you specifically need ultra low power draw, a minipc is always a better bang for your buck, the cheapest solution is the dusty old laptop sitting on the shelf at the back of your closet…

Compaq… Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a loooong time

… But why?

Are… are you going to ask your wife and daughter to start submitting tickets if jellyfin stops working, or nextcloud stops syncing?? Are you going to create dashboards to make sure you are meeting SLIs?

Or am I missing the point of what jira is for? (This is what I use jira for at work…)

I will go back to running a fucking 386 before I rent cloud space from the beez

Fuck you man. If you don’t like my fuckin’ music get your own fuckin’ cab!

It doesn’t really need to be tedious… My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor

for context, these are my personal notes for my personal machine. These will never be shared with anyone else, and nobody else has to try to read them or make sense of them (well… sometimes I make chatbot read my notes in order to train it on whatever I need help troubleshooting)

Before I started keeping a hot_log.txt file every single install of Linux I ever ran was a unique snowflake and no two systems were ever the same

why not?? best buy sells steam decks and the ROG ally… costco sells garbage pre-builts, there is no reason the gabecube shouldn’t find retail shelf space, especially since xbox seems intent on exiting the console market.

the fact that it’s a linux box is only appealing to nerds, how may ppl actually ran linux on the ps3?? hint: a lot less people than were upset when sony took it away lol. gabecube being a pc is a bonus feature, will it be a big enough bonus feature to drive sales like bundling your fist dvd or bluray player?? probably not… but it will be enough to maybe sway a few people sitting on the fence?? maybe!

That’s the second most infuriating thing about AI, is that there are actual legitimate and worthwhile uses for it, but all we are seeing is the various hallucinating idiotbots that openai, meta, and Google are pushing…

2027

a pentium with 128mb of ram?? sure, if you were richie rich…

back in 1994 ram was around $100 per mb, so those specs are INSANE! i don’t even know if they made motherboards that could hanlde that much ram back then.

My 386 in 1993 had 4mb of ram, and i was jealous of all the kids with shinny new 486s with their 8mb of ram

8mb of ram didn’t become the standard until win98 demanded that much

…and it was called NERO because it burnt ROM

I can’t get enough of the Boxes video! … And the one about trackers was really good too!
