I think mine are around the same year. Such great machines for random shit. I tried to run an AI cluster across them and it kinda struggled 😂. It was a fun experiment.

Sometimes you can find them on eBay.

I use old Mac Minis that were cycled out from a company and replaced. An e-waste laptop is still probably cheaper, but you can still find the older model Mac Minis fairly cheap too. I have 2 of them that sit vertically side-by-side in a small rack with my router stationed above them. They both run Elementary OS.

Yep, this is my setup. I did the whole *arr apps, Plex and Usenet setup for years, but hated dealing with storing the files. It also didn’t help when my 8TB drive decided to act up and make files inaccessible.

Now I stream everything through Stremio with RD+. Works on every device flawlessly.

Similar tactic for cellular service: tell them the company you work for is giving you a phone. That has worked for me in the past. It’s impossible for them to compete with free.

The fuck are you on about?

“You are required to let me fuck you over! You are not allowed to resist it or find alternative means!” 🖕

I chose to stop supporting a fascist wannabe with my wallet and moved all of my sites to Render. Vercel shouldn’t be blocked with such a reckless move and LaLiga is wrong, but I’ve washed my hands of letting the other stuff slide.

Ah my hero. Thanks!

How do you find spaces/communities to join?

Here’s the CEO of Vercel kissing Trump’s ass.

Maybe he can ask daddy Trump to help fix things (actually, Trump would probably revoke his citizenship and deport him).

According to Wikipedia, they’re also referred to as “magic rabbit” 🥰

Free = you’re the product. I’d rather continue to pay for Mullvad at $5 per month.

I still have some screenshots from my old Android G1 that is skeuomorphism galore. It’s nostalgic.

It’s such an easy one to misspell. I was a graphic artist for years and it’s not the first time I’ve seen this error. Glad I could help! Lmao.

“Get you spot” - typo??

This is pretty neat! The new tech for big screens is unreal.

Not sure if this is a perfect fit, but I use http-server when I need to spin up something super rudimentary that works out of box.

Edit: sorry, no UI for that one, but the commands for it are pretty simple to understand. You could try something like XAMPP instead. Portainer is nice for spinning stuff up quickly, but it has a slightly steeper learning curve.

I should note that you can run this in any folder you want to serve files from.

Windows has basically become malware. It does a fuck ton of tracking, and all of its features are about appeasing shareholders over users.

If we want to get technical: I loathe it because even in the year 2024, it’s the only operating system I’ve witnessed that will absolutely grind to a halt when a third party application stops responding or crashes. There is no valid fucking reason why the parent system should be halted by an application that crashes.

Also, ads in the start panel. Absolutely not, Microsoft. No way in hell am I allowing that to live on a computer I own. Yes, I’m aware third party apps will address that but it shouldn’t be a thing to begin with.

Oh yeah, and it decided to automatically update itself to the latest version on my ASUS ROG laptop while the thing was closed and not in use. So upon booting it up and seeing ads in the UI, I wiped the system clean and installed Nobara. Bye bye. 👋

These are pretty standard UI patterns.
