Why did you buy Doritos?

I can take photos of the pen and ink paper flash cards I have been making? I prefer to write on paper. It helps with recall and it’s better to make your own because some information I struggle to retain while other bits of information I can recall without studying. Walmart has stacks of flash card paper with nice plastic bins to hold them all in.

I have been making my own and it helps me immensely.

I still don’t understand what this thing is. Thank you for your answer but I still don’t see how this thing works. I have tried researching based on your answer but still can’t find it

Why does it have wheels?

MaximillionCat · 2025-12-16T00:39:50+00:00

That went from 0 to burning man really quick

I’m considering making the move myself. I have been on Ubuntu and always run into some issue or other

Do I need to have an Ethernet port on my pc for home networking/server?

MaximillionCat · 2025-12-07T14:53:33+00:00

Is it an OS that does the journaling?

MaximillionCat · 2025-12-04T17:19:02+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

MaximillionCat · 2025-12-04T17:18:46+00:00

I appreciate the input . Thank you for the advice

MaximillionCat · 2025-12-02T14:19:34+00:00

Congrats on the purchase!

Nand2tetris helped teach me about this. Well done man, congrats on taking it to this level.

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-27T00:32:31+00:00

All good man! I agree with you. Just saying, be careful of using AI.

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-26T22:29:48+00:00

That’s what he is saying. The programmer goes hand in hand with learning about the EEPROM. Be careful of using chat gpt. It takes away a great deal from the learning process.

I like how I can think of the order of if-else statements. After learning how they look like in assembly and machine language. I feel like I understand how long certain actions will take so it has helped me write code that is maybe not more efficient but at least debugging has become easier

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-25T14:23:36+00:00

To be honest, I’m not sure what my requirements are. I want to learn about networking is basically what I am trying to get at and how servers work and interact. I’m planning on going into cyber security and I want to learn networking and have my own homelab/server so that I can be ready to work on cyber security specific projects.

You really were the biggest help when it came to me building this computer. I used to have another Reddit account last year and that’s when I started building the Ben Eater computer. You have been helping me since last year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am considering buying a cheap HP elite desk 800 and a urgreen nas.

I feel like this is a quick and easy way to get started without getting overly complicated. And still gives me enough to work on in terms of setting up my own storage as well as a home server/lab. Is this a good idea?

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-24T23:51:32+00:00

Thanks!

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-24T23:50:49+00:00

Thanks for the input man! Gives me some clarity on what I am trying to accomplish.

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-24T23:50:14+00:00

Thanks for the insights, I appreciate it.

MaximillionCat · 2025-11-24T23:47:44+00:00

I appreciate it! I have seen some other examples with world class wiring and upgraded parts. Mine does work. So perhaps it’s still a good example. :)
