The price of ownership is maintenance.

Prices keep rising because people will pay ANY price to avoid personal responsibility.

hey, I didn’t memorize my NT key for nothing

what’s a backup?

Plex wants us to log into their servers to watch content we’re hosting ourselves.

I hate Plex as much as the next Jellyfin user but you can just whitelist your local network, although people who understand that aren’t the target audience are they? …

I would buy a G5 every few years until the end of time if they still made them. Profit clearly isn’t the driving motivator of the post capitalist world we inhabit.

And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.

honestly if they still make the only mice that don’t look like a gaming router they might still have me … on the second hand market at least.

Talk to e-waste recyclers and see if they have contact details for anyone buying their office PCs. Businesses don’t give a fuck, these things are going straight in the bin.

You could attempt to buy from them directly but there’s a solid chance they already have someone buying in bulk and don’t want to sell single items to the public.

at least you have the songs.

I did a similar thing with very, very, low quality DI shows I ripped with winamp over 56k.

reminds me of the dude with a PDP 11 in his basement

it’s a spreadsheet right?

yeah, this is just child abuse

Depending on your location in the world, you can buy land, pay nothing monthly and own and use it for ever.

what the fuck guys, why is anyone paying council rates or land tax when there is any free land left out there. I’ll run the network cables; let’s fuckin’ go.

we ran out of IPv4 address space a long fucking time ago, you are infinity more likely to have a static IP address now because you’ll be behind a carrier grade NAT sharing it’s IP. you don’t really pay for a static IP anymore but the ability to directly address you’re own network.

having a hotspot you can turn on in an emergency is different from just leaving it on all the time, and even then decoupling the baseband system from your device is still worthwhile.

Fuckin’ magnets tarrifs, How do they work?

they claim 3% overhead, I bet you could get pretty deep before noticing.

and run Proxmox inside that VM

it’s just a meme … with a kernel of truth.

when running as your main OS windows very quickly gets bogged down with everything you want to run on it.

in a VM you’re only running the 1 thing you need on a fresh install, potentially a screenshot of that fresh install so it’s always running at peak.

does this make up for the host overhead? maybe … Linux has never struggled under base load for me like windows has.

Win 10 IoT LTSC 2021 is supported until 2032. the ESU is literally just security updates they will be doing anyway.

if you have any windows software that can’t be replaced and needs to be online running IoT is one solution.

protip: Windows runs faster under a VM in Linux than on bare metal. True facts.

I’m sure they would have mentioned if they needed a cellular router
