Whenever population control is mentioned, this inevitably comes up. No, not looking to "remove" anyone, just prevent more births than the natural environment can handle.

Easy, reliable backups are key. I've used komodo with automatic updates for over a year and watchtower before that for a couple more. I've only had one issue when Nginx Proxy Manager had a release that deleted all of its own data. Didn't take long to realize that the services were still up and what the problem was. Restored the missing data from Proxmox backups, pinned the Nginx version for a while, then turned auto update on again. I'll stick to this until checking updates is less work than fixing the occasional problem

Yeah, as if finding FOSS alternatives to mega-corp software wasn't hard enough, now i have to care about the politics of a sponsor's co-sponsor's ceo's husband's dog's groomer before I install? Pass

You see a small, loud subset of USAmericans on the web so I understand how you could think that we're all "super hyped on patriotism" but the fact is that most of us just wake up, do normal human things then go to bed. This over-generalization of huge populations of people is making me tired.

I resent that the cost to the car company to install seat warmers is the actual installation of the seat warmers. Running them costs ME money in electricity generated by gasoline I bought. It costs them nothing to run them but i have to pay a subscription to use them on top of paying to power them?

The football grandstand continues to cost the owners in maintenance and space that they own. You pay for the privilege of using something that is not yours. I bought my car, I shouldn't have to continue to pay for the privilege of using something I already own since the equipment is already there and doesn't require any interaction with a remote service that would make sense to charge for (navigation, satellite radio, etc...)

My entire setup uses less than 100W at idle. That includes:

  • HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini
  • Custom ITX N150 NAS (4 HDD)
  • Wireless router
  • Switch
  • Modem
