Oh. Omg you’re so right lol.

Why not?

You’re forgetting leverage. Open source is changing the way these businesses are forced to do business. And thats a start.

Rossmann has a millionaire backing up his repair business among other things.

Why does everybody seem to know all of this dirt about Louis except me? I’ve seen this “be suspicious of anything Rossman is involved in” comment a few times in the past few days. I’m out of the loop.

Frankly the vast majority of my favorite creators have not been able to handle youtube and most have moved onto Twitch, where I’m not so interested in watching. Banned from YouTube though, or demonetized? Now we’re talking about ~5 creators Ive watched instead of hundreds.

Oh SHIT this is the first time I’m being made aware of that.

What fresh hell of goalpost moving is this? You’re so bad faith.

Thin clients! $30, sometimes $15, for just as much CPU power as the Pi. More power usage, though. And ensure you buy the cables and SSD, check carefully what the seller is including or excluding from the shipment.

Yea the default instance is overloaded. So I changed the instance to one that loaded a little faster, and then enabled cookies on piped.video so it would stay that way. I still find piped has more loading than Invidious, so I use a mix of that and actual youtube.

Wait is XMPP self-hosted?

It is a buttonless. So I plug in the cord, and the PSU will light up green for ~3 seconds and then turn off. It does not light up again. Does this mean it passed or failed the test?

System as it was originally, and with the Optical Drive removed along with the big metal bay that it sits in. No SATA data or poeer is plugged in. I reseated the battery and the power button cable.

Edit: installed the cage again as it has structural purpose.

PSU light turns green for a few seconds, goes blank. Power button at the front has no reponse at all when I press it.

The power button does not flash. The PSU flashes. Thats why I think there is a problem is with the power button itself.

LearnLinux.TV is a pretty nice resource. Redhat offers some guides, too. I think I started on youtube and that led me to written resources, eventually.

A lot of software actually offers its own guide with it. You could also go the IT Cert route and learn CompTIA stuff. It’s more rote and less hands-on, though, but it might point you towards concepts you want to learn.

This is the same issue I have with Joplin! I need to get like multiple installations or databases to keep things separated. It’s all a mess.

Set up your existing PCs as a NAS or SAN with probably unraid. I really like that you wanna use a small PC to do the work. Big, heavy server PCs are not that fun. I assume you have a server rack set up for this 40tb synology? If you’re really already so gungho about this storage be looking for a 2U used server on ebay to fill your next spot. Not a 3 or 4U. Go smaller than you might need. Yeah, there is a lot of hardware out there - remember that software is there to solve the problems.

Joplin?

Awesome OP!!! I am officiallg jealous!

You are saying the mind jumps, but that is the topic. I meant to say that being ND can create a desire for clarity in communication. A direct or terse argument.

It sounds to me like an NT desire for perfectly crafted arguments, without ambiguity. I do this, and feel fortunate that I didnt call for a correction, myself. See how vicious you all are about it.
