Yeah… saw that and instantly was like shit they got me.

o yeah, I dont see ITER as a bad investment, just that the side goal of actually generating net energy is probably a pipe dream given its delays. We can create fusion, and we can create more fusion energy than what is put into the fuel, but we cant do all these things yet at the same time, and we cant do them without secondary devices requiring too much power.

ITER will help bring down the costs of manufacturing because its size requires building up supply lines, but it still probably wont be the first to get online.

No but ITER might be. It’s reaching the point where there’s a good possibility that a different method organization or country is going to beat them to sustainable fusion.

consumer crap is just that crap.

I like small PC’s as PFsense/Opnsense routers and then a POE switch and access points. It always works better than any mesh or consumer stuff.

I still think he should use ST6 and black bag all the conservative justices to Gitmo and declare them enemy combatants. Call their bluff that no Democrat press will abuse their shitty imperial immunity “logic”

Stellaris is great sci-fi future ambient music to focus to.

Never sit on water issues, water will do more damage to a house than just about anything short of a fire. I would assume if your house was on fire you would call someone… take water just as seriously.

The longer water issues go the more work and the more cost. If the house is only 5 years old, it should have been covered under the builders warranty as soon as it was noticed.

Fixed it for you.

Do you think it has a cloaca or the normal two holes… Wait what do lizards have? … Discussion before attacking a green dragon.

Ubuntu server, it’s a bit more modern than Debian and has a massive install base which means someone has had your problem and fixed it before and documented it.

Most of the time I just DIY for anything that’s not massive, but when it comes to big projects like Roof/Foundation you listed Friends/Family/Neighbours I trust who have used them in the past.

Once I find a not shit contractor, I latch on to them and maintain that relationship.

o sure, I could walk over and put in my admin password and do it all in the GUI. I cant think of any basic things that require terminal with modern DE’s like KDE. I just use terminal for remote management because its simpler than trying to work at their desks.

or, I can SSH from my computer in a different room, and do it with one CMD in terminal :)

Yes, but no…

For a basic user, who does not expect to be doing anything special beyond opening existing programs, or using programs downloaded from the package-manager its possible to never touch terminal.

I have two kids who daily drive Manjaro based light gaming PC’s, they never touch the terminal, but they also dont administer their systems, I do.

I do use the terminal, frequently for updates, and some specialized tasks like minecraft mods which require unpacking files and sometimes fixing permissions.

So my TLDR, is that its possible to be a USER without touching the terminal, but I dont think its possible to be an administrator without.

o man this hurts.

many times, shucking is a very valid way to get large format disks for cheaper than retail NAS parts. But be aware of what your buying and make sure that the disk your getting if its a white label is a reliable disk. WD Easystore/Mybook are generally good, as are the larger format Seagate external.

Im not sure Intel has any worthwhile CPU’s unless you are getting them used.

Currently E cores are mostly trash, and not all that “efficient” and letting a P Core turbo up and get the task completed uses less overall power.

Secondly Intel is lying about its heat output, and power use. Everything from 10th gen up is a power hog if you dont limit the performance to well below “stock” settings.

This is a good match up between an i5-13500 vs R5 7600, which is the most interesting IMO. The R5 7600 seems to be about $15 less expensive for just the CPU and uses 3/4ths the power which will be a greater savings over time vs Intel. The AMD Motherboards also still seem to trend a bit lower in cost than Intel.

So overall its a good question. If you can get a use 13500 or one under $150 then its probably worth it, but at retail prices the 7600 will cost less to buy, and less to own while being similar in performance.

They are out there but I struggle to find good ones.

have you done an upgrade?
