Blame the democrats

It means you should move on

Bouncy balls are already reasonably efficient. If you want them to be more dangerous, you just get ones that weigh more.

I already stated what I believe to be moral in this situation, and how I arrived at that conclusion.

That’s only one variation of moral relativism. It is, as most things in ethics are, not black and white.

Your question didn’t require an answer, since it answered itself.

“universally appalling” despite it literally having supporters arguing over it for over a thousand years…

Just because your class of idealist youth didn’t like it doesn’t make it universally appalling.

Morality is determined by society. Society has not agreed that being a landlord is immoral.

Very few people want to eliminate rentals altogether. You can go look at polls, even the polls where you find the most support for restrictions only want secondary rental homes to be taxed higher.

At the time, yes, trying to run a commercial farm without slaves while you tried to get the laws changed would have been completely reasonable.

Morality is not absolute, its situational and relative. Applying modern morals to judge the past is an effort in stupidity.

“I wouldn’t have done that” yes you definitely would have, because you would have been raised to do that.

There are things you do today that future generations will judge you as immoral for doing that you think are perfectly fine.

Do you think eating animals is acceptable? Future generations may think you just as barbaric for allowing that as you think people were for allowing human slaves. Or maybe they’re fine with eating meat, but they will think you barbaric for allowing paid healthcare to exist and people to suffer because they’re poor.

The vms are for home assistant and a linux distro with a gui. Docker is hosting a bunch of workflow, database, and ai related stuff.

I’m using a laptop, so swapping to 64GB means a pair of 32gig sticks for like $300. It’s likely a better choice to offload the work to a dedicated server, I can probably put together something for less than twice that cost.

That’s not really an in-between, You’re still a renter and usually get no benefit if you fail to reach the specific criteria in the allotted time. It really doesn’t solve anything other than issues with credit scores or available down payments.

Chrome is using 12GB right now, and I’ve got 8GB allocated between two VMs, and another 3GB to Docker. So of my 32, I’m currently at 9GB before I launch a game. Plenty of games want more than that.

Your argument is weak.

There’s already a law that says “Murder is bad, go to Jail” so no it’s not fine, and society deemed it morally incorrect.

Society has not yet agreed that renting to people is morally incorrect, that’s why it’s still legal and why millions of people are landlords.

About a dozen docker containers and two vms… I really need a dedicated server.

I completely disagree with this.

First, having rentals available is a necessity. There are plenty of people who simply do not want the responsibility, or need the flexibility to move more easily than owning allows for (like university students and people moving around for jobs). If rental units are needed, someone has to be a landlord to provide that.

Second, choosing to significantly impact your own own life because of country-wide problems is heroic, but fucking useless. The change in this space will not come from all landlords all choosing to be better people. That’s never going to happen, and if you think that’s an option you’re the one being ignorant. The only realistic way this housing situation changes is if the laws change, and the laws change when voters pick politicians who will change them.

The only time this person is a hypocrite is if they say they want to fix the problem, but then do not vote for the person who will fix it.

I’m already considering switching to 64, I hate having to close everything to fire up games.

If that’s all you want to do, one of the cheaper Ubiquiti managed gateways would probably work and not break the bank.

If you want to tinker even harder, an open source router running https://openwrt.org/ (or even their own device) may be a good option.

Why?

You aren’t going to find a useful AI system for personal use in Finance, you simply don’t have the scale needed to benefit from it. You don’t make enough transactions per month that looking over it yourself is going to be any slower than reading the AI summary.

The question as with most process optimization and data analysis is, what’s the actual result you’re hoping for? If you want it to be able to summarize WALMART, WAL-MART and WMART so you can see those numbers added together, you already know you spent a lot at Walmart. Whare are you going to actually do with that information?

Saving money doesn’t really need an AI, there really aren’t many ways to cut budgets down short of paying attention to the most obvious spending problems (Too much housing, too much vehicle, too much food (especially eating out), and too much entertainment(too many subscription platforms))

It’s usually a far better investment of time to improve your earning power (upskill, change jobs, add hours, etc.)

Cutting $40 per month from your budget by not going to the movies every week just isn’t going to have the impact you need in your life.
