and still on the original SD card

incredibly lucky. my Pi burned through so many cards I wouldn’t use it for a pihole again, especially when mini pcs are better and cheaper

(and before anyone asks yes I was logging to ram)

haven’t tried steam link but the raspberry pi still does all that for 150 or less

The price of ownership is maintenance.

Prices keep rising because people will pay ANY price to avoid personal responsibility.

hey, I didn’t memorize my NT key for nothing

what’s a backup?

I wouldn’t trust modern e-waste as far as I could throw it.

do you NEED a terrestrial receiver?

Ah, the common clay of the new Web

That’s not how capitalism works though

there’s always a reason not to switch.

and unfortunately trash audio in Linux is probably the most reasonable.

You should probably still rip the adobe band aid off now even if Apple is your next best choice though. Davinci Resolve is free and worth paying for if you need it professionally.

Plex wants us to log into their servers to watch content we’re hosting ourselves.

I hate Plex as much as the next Jellyfin user but you can just whitelist your local network, although people who understand that aren’t the target audience are they? …

I would buy a G5 every few years until the end of time if they still made them. Profit clearly isn’t the driving motivator of the post capitalist world we inhabit.

And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.

honestly if they still make the only mice that don’t look like a gaming router they might still have me … on the second hand market at least.

yeah, this is just child abuse

Depending on your location in the world, you can buy land, pay nothing monthly and own and use it for ever.

what the fuck guys, why is anyone paying council rates or land tax when there is any free land left out there. I’ll run the network cables; let’s fuckin’ go.

we ran out of IPv4 address space a long fucking time ago, you are infinity more likely to have a static IP address now because you’ll be behind a carrier grade NAT sharing it’s IP. you don’t really pay for a static IP anymore but the ability to directly address you’re own network.

tl;dr: build your own fuckin’ wall.

having a hotspot you can turn on in an emergency is different from just leaving it on all the time, and even then decoupling the baseband system from your device is still worthwhile.

Fuckin’ magnets tarrifs, How do they work?

it was already ruined anyway.
