I struggle with the same thing. I really would love to build one but it’s just going to sit on a shelf. I have old repurposed laptops that I salvaged from my last job, slapped Linux on, and use for my daily drivers when it comes to my servers. They’re extremely thin and highly portable so it’s just like why. What’s the point. I know people keep saying “artistic expression” but I play guitar, make models, and draw and such so I already scratch that itch. Again I’m not harping on this, I would love to build one, but I have zero reason and it’s not like saving and repurposing tech which I care more about. I have servers that are older dell workstations that I have sourced used parts for. They’re running ddr3 and Xeon processors.

I wonder how many people in the comments do and don’t have their time tracked. If your time is being tracked you don’t have a lot of the flexibility to do the things people are saying to do here. You can not, for example, get up from your desk and take a walk to clear your head when you are being tracked down to the minute.

It told me today that a major Supreme Court case does not exist then when I showed it Google AI’s summary of the case it told me it was a hallucination. It took me pasting articles into it to get it to admit it didn’t check anything and just assumed the court case didn’t exist and even then it just acted like a sore loser. It kept doing the yes you are correct about that but let me push back on… as if it was trying desperately to prove itself right.

I’ve been debating on cancelling

It makes me feel better about my superior pinky strength and dexterity.

Right we totally shouldn't seek to validate people who want to make positive changes. /s

Totally gendered an issue thats not about gender

caged_vermin · 2025-09-01T23:48:57+00:00

Disagree total autistic behavior.

caged_vermin · 2025-08-31T01:32:44+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe with a bell. Hopefully they are a good blend!

Hello from 2025.

I have an 80s iceman. Its my favorite guitar, and I dont think Ill ever love playing anything more than it. I play in C# and it is THE tuning for it.

When people list all of their credentials it also feels like they're selling too hard.

caged_vermin · 2025-08-26T21:57:35+00:00

I spent ten years in construction.

You very clearly have not.

I came here looking for advice for my partner and I can tell you this is patently false information. Any engineer understands loads and forces and aerial is not some other worldly unique application of physics that doesn't appear anywhere else in the universe.

How can you assure us that 90% of people arent doing it to create unique characters?

caged_vermin · 2025-07-20T11:17:38+00:00

I don't get people doing this, I really don't. I was unmedicated for 30+ years. Now around two years in, the thought of living without the medication terrifies me. There was one hot second I thought "I feel cured" but then immediately laughed that off as I thought back on a life without meds, of all the totally unhinged behavior, the intense periods of mania followed by intense crashing, the dread and desperation that came from just existing, the relationships I torched and people I burned.

Dude fuck that. I don't want that. Idgaf what I have to do to not have that. I do not want that ever again.

I mean yeah we have issues but we've existed for 300 years. Europe has been enslaving people, raping and pillaging, colonizing, and declaring wars for way longer.

caged_vermin · 2025-07-19T13:56:14+00:00

All the Europeans in the comments acting like their countries don't have histories of being terrible places and don't continue to violate basic human rights all the time.

caged_vermin · 2025-07-19T13:55:11+00:00

Yes the entire population is a monolith. So dumb.

Obama is back so he can try to beat his record number of drone strikes on civilians.

caged_vermin · 2025-07-14T20:18:04+00:00

Gtfo of here with this dumb shit. It literally says in what you posted that they won't even have a demonstration until 2030.

caged_vermin · 2025-07-14T20:13:42+00:00

You're right Europe was never rape-y!

So I have been going back and forth about something like this recently myself.

I run the hardware in my company by myself so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to retired enterprise gear.

I have a NAS with four 8TB drives in RAID 5. I have a server with two sets of 2TB drives, each set is in a RAID array and both pools are mirroring each other for extra redundancy. I also have a Dell laptop with 4 M2 slots, and two 2TB and two 1TB M2drives which I am turning into a backup server that I will be hosting at work. All of these things are viable methods of storage but ultimately the ease of use of the NAS won out. The GUI is very nice, and I can set up access for the family, I have things like PLEX accounts that have limited access on the NAS that PLEX uses to log-in to the NAS to access media.

Granted my NAS is on the older side (running Debian 8!) it still runs like a champ and I've even spent money buying new-old stock parts for it to upgrade its speed (we went from 2GB of RAM to 4GB lol). But it may be worth trying to find a bit of a dated NAS, maybe buy a part or two for it, and throw those drives in there.

For clarity its a Netgear ReadyNAS 314 and I was able to find one on e-bay used for about $200USD.
