This all day. USB3 has plenty of bandwidth to keep those spinners busy, and a cheap pc can be bought for under $200 that would handle all the services op described, plus more.

I bought an n150 with 12gb RAM, dual 2.5gb nic, built in nvme and USB 3.2. it uses like 15w of power, is basically silent, and with a 5 bay HDD attached I've got enough storage for whatever.

Building a home lab server from components is only a good idea if you have some really specific use case not covered by cheap imports...

Those dogs are permanently bonded to you. They'll always remember the way they feel on that car ride out of jail. To you they may be a small part of your life, but to them you're everything Adopt adopt adopt

The electoral college helps protect people who live in America, but not in the most populous areas. Under mob rule, politicians can support policies specifically targeted to helping affluent/dense populations in cities, and also support policies which further marginalize the remaining 90% of the country. Can you name another mechanism which would achieve that goal of protecting a broader interest better?

Wash it, poke some holes in it, a little oil on the skin, salt, bake

Once cooked, cut it down the middle part way, smash together the ends a bit

bacon, cheddar, sour cream

Harry and the Hendersons when they make him leave. Lithgow telling him he wasn't wanted 😢

I'm actually planning to do just about that, based on the discussion in this thread.

I found that I can get an unmanaged switch with 4 2.5gbe ports for under $60, I can use my existing cabling at that speed. I'll upgrade my aging router to an x86 (n100 or similar) and load my favorite router distro on it. Use that as the router, connect Wi-Fi APs (might even use the eero they give me that way).

I'll upgrade my systems on the Ethernet using USB dongles (several options at around $20 each)

I'm feeling that improving much beyond 2.5 internally is a bit of a waste at this point.

Thanks to all posters in this thread!

At this stage I don't know - but they seem to describe a setup where they are essentially providing a WiFi 7 router as an access point, which connects to another piece of hardware acting as the gateway

Ezee fiber is the ISP. Eero max 7 WiFi. XGS PON agree, it is symmetrical

Interesting point about cg nat. With my current ISP setup I get an actual (dynamic) ip4 address and ip6 thru 6rd. Can I still point my domain to the nat'd address?

No we're definitely all gonna die real soon

It's funny that in the effort to make America great "again" we're doing things completely differently than we've ever done.

The old greatness, but through a dictatorship this time.

What if I buy stuff but then tip all the service workers exorbitantly? Or is that bad because they'll go on to buy things..

Durrrr

The presumption here is that all the non voters would've voted against Trump - but even among motivated voters, that wasn't true. So who's to say more voters would've materially altered the outcome? What makes it likely there's a different outcome with more voices..? As I remember, it seemed like Kamala was behind all along

Also, the electoral outcomes don't change much if the yellow state was already aligned to your preference 🤷‍♂️ my vote wouldn't change the outcome of my state, years of voting on principle for independent and non incumbents have proven that to me, so why bother voting for the pres?

Especially when it is literally giant douche v turd sandwich - neither option represents a win.

Why?

I got in - but there isn't much to see/do yet. Not sure how to post videos, can't see anyone else

Weird

Every time I post it's in the wrong community or against some rule and I get the hammer

I post things I want to see, but I'm apparently alone in that desire

Actual explanation, Craig Ferguson was a late night talk show host. At some point he had Grant Imahara from myth busters build him a robot Co host, he did, it had an articulated head and mouth and arms that moved - and it had a sound board. The sound board offered, of course, limited options. He had a few phrases that he could say. Later they revised Geoff and had him voiced by the actor linked in the video above. He said things like in your pants, balls, etc. and it was generally hilarious. I loved the show, the sketches, and as a Dad, enjoy old jokes. There are at least 4 of us who got it, so... Mission accomplished pretty much
