This isn’t a questions forum, it’s a thoughts forum.

Shower questions would be either NoStupidQuestions or AskAPlumber.

I’m aware, and wanted to make mention of it being done by existing mods “as a prank”, but still…he was quite protective of those subs, too.

It really wasn’t until they were ramping up for IPO that they did anything about them.

He is the literal president, in large part, because of reddit. Including reddit giving left-wing long-term accounts a really good reason to stop using their site months before the 2024 elections.

Considering its huge reach and userbase, I’d be pretty concerned if the founders were in the whole Epstein circle, and Reddit’s overall impact in world politics.

You’d be a fool not to recognize the site size and influence.

Monopolies are good for innovation /s

(Bell Labs being probably the only notable exception)

I feel so seen right now.

This. Components would be overpriced and proprietary. Nobody wants that.

Building and upgrading a computer really isn’t that difficult. All the parts only fit in one spot. Getting compatible parts can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re looking for…but this problem could strike this idea, too, because there would certainly need to be different generation mainboards whenever CPU sockets or chipsets or memory speed or really anything else on the mainboard comes around.

So such a solution would likely lead to less choice and more proprietary vendor-locked garbage. Just now solely on the hardware side.

But wait…what games are compatible with this system? What games will run well?

This is something Valve has done really well…they built a benchmark system. This is the problem that’s been plagueing PC, imo. AAA games get built for bleeding edge tech, necessitating upgrades…while the steamdeck sets a bar that developers have to be playable on in order to tap that entire market. Could the game run better on better systems? Sure, probably. But it needs to be at least playable on steamdeck.

Nobody wants to ride bikes because everyone in the cars are too dangerous to be sharing the road with.

Nobody wants to put in protected bike lanes because everybody drives.

There wouldn’t be a need for an autonomous car to go on a freeway if we had decent intermodal public transit.

Just have cars like these patrolling the suburbs and picking people up for light/commuter rail, then a hub where you could get within a block of anywhere with no more than one transfer.

High Speed rail if you need to get to another urban center from there.

That’s the dream, at least.

Nobody wants to use public transit, because it’s starved dry. Nobody wants to invest in public transit, because nobody uses it. Everyone just drives, because everyone has cars. Everyone has cars because public transit is terrible.

But I do long for the day that this could pick me up and take me to the bus station/commuter rail stop.

The town next to me has a very large cemetery, but nobody living in my town is allowed to be buried there.

I store all my passkeys in bitwarden so they are available anywhere I have bitwarden. Which makes it tough if/when I need personal accounts at work (like to log into electric company to check outage map).

Best I can do is 3x the attitude and body language.

Ooh good call on jellyfin I’ll have to keep that in mind. I hadn’t considered that jellyfin would probably want direct access to the igpu for QSV or any other re- encoding. All my nodes are specced the same, hardware wise…I wonder if I’ll be able to just pass down the igpu to the worker-node vms and have that available to all of them. I don’t need their displays, and all my SFFs have onboard serial in case I actually need to see what’s on console.

I’ve got a pile of hardware as well. 3 old sff desktops. A pile of 2.5gbe nics, ram, nvmes, and ssds to put in them. Proxmox iso on a thumb drive with Ventoy. All ready to go.

Gonna run kubernetes atop proxmox, and a bunch of stuff atop that.

Have another tower I set up for storage. I installed all the drives, and proxmox, and OMV…and just left it there.

Now I’m thinking I might put the drives in my tower, with the GPU, and giving it a small VM for OMV and a bigger VM for Moonlight. Then I can just have a nice silent NUC for my desktop. I have several of those ready to go as well.

I see you don’t have Gas Service.

But I’ve been having so much fun buying hardware for my homelab. I don’t want to actually build it and configure it, that’s too much like work.

My phone tells me every night that it’s slow charging and it will be full by [the time I have my alarm set for].

Pixel 8 Pro.

This actually happens to me a lot at work…but it’s because:

• I sign work emails with a certificate and sometimes it asks for the password

• My company also has us mark each email with a third-party classification program.

These don’t come up until you hit Send, and sometimes can take several seconds.

So naturally I get distracted, open up a hundred more windows, and eventually reboot.

The really fun thing about this, is that it won’t even save a draft if it was waiting for a password…so Outlook continues to gaslight me on whether or not I wrote the email in the first place.

You ever read the three little pigs, from the perspective of the wolf?
