Honestly, it’s been pretty good for me once I say “Hmm I don’t think this workflow works with this version”

I think the 4o model might just be better than 3.5 was at this.

Would a surge protector be enough? I’ve never owned one, but I’ve considered putting my PC, router and (in the future) NAS behind both a surge protector and a UPS.

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

Did you use a Handy to write this comment?

Youtrack is nice and can be self hosted but costs money beyond 10 users.

Family sounds more likely in this case. Two adults and three kids could be like 50 euros for tickets unless the kids are small enough to sit in your lap.

The slippery slope is a fallacy only because there’s no proof things will go one way or the other. You can use slippery slope to say ridiculous things. E.g “if we let gays marry, it’ll be pedos next” is a good example of the fallacy whereas “if we let private corporations spy on us for a good reason, they’ll expand their powers to extract even more profit” is not, but either way, you need to know the context (which is that corporations serve to extract maximum possible wealth and have no morals).

I’d expect the work servers to be better because I can’t afford to spend thousands per server, but maybe I’m just spoiled with regards to work hardware.
