WFM. Looks like you’re using Let’s Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you’re good.

<Sips licence like a fine wine served at a dinner party.> Ah, yes, GPLv3, exquisite choice.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.

Interesting to see “trust me bro” get the same treatment.

“If you don’t vote, you vote for the winner.”

SAD!

…dot com.

I feel like this headline is like The Onions’ “No Way To Prevent This”; they can just keep on reusing it.

Thirty seconds of thrash drumming, wailing feedback and distorted guitar shredding, followed by Tall and tan and young and lovely…

Reminds me of that Homestar Runner line: “Mine’s are shipped from a third-world country called Homemáde so I can legally print ‘From Home Made’ on the prepackaged package.”

charmap.exe? Holy shit. Windows 95 called, but I didn’t have a 33.6k modem ready to answer.

No. Yes. Kind of.

My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.

I know enough about academia, electrical safety, people and hygiene to find this plausible, reckless, funny and revolting respectively, but not enough about any to know which should win.

I’m already in a number of communities about beige nineties computers, thank you very much.

Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say “no, these are all trains. No, I’m complaining as such, I like trains, I just… I thought… No, the headline said something about… reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?”

This is also a great money-saving tip if you’re preparing a meal that uses loads of boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and also are in an area where water costs a lot but not so much that you’ll stop boiling eggs and potatoes in it altogether but would see saving a panful of it as a benefit which, personally, I find highly relatable as I am currently trapped in a desert that has eggs and potatoes instead of sand and also please send help.

IPFS was my first thought. I’ve only recently started using it, but it’s pleasantly surprised me so far.

Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It’s so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.
