Are you hearing the question you’re asking? Challenging people who HAVE broken away from big tech (which you claim to want) and dealt with the costs?

I love your rationale and agree. You seem like a good leader and I hope you get there some day

Are you ready to swear right here right now

2nd fold buyer here, love them. Use case is a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets (spreadsheets). Desktop modes, RDP. It’s great!

5-10 /year and would go more if :

I lived closer to my favorite venues (those that put shows on I want to see) I can get tickets without stress (🖕 to ticketmaster, scalpers, etc)

I like loud but there is a thing as “too” loud. sound engineers know what they’re doing. For these shows I use the foam plugs

I do buy merch. I like music. Others who do should go and be a part of your community, both physical and cultural. Make an effort!

Edward scissor hands! And other Tim Burton

Wow planning to do the same thing. Amazing find of a post.

And we have opinions for and against! Wow 🍿

Good luck everyone

Thought of a problem: I only pulled 300MB/s in initial test of 10G to my NAS (direct from PC) . Theoretical is 1.2GB/s right? NAS is 5 disk RAID5 spinning rust which interfaces to NAS expansion through USB3. so, this has to be the issue right?

Fix: cut out the USB for slight gain, add SSD cache for medium gain, or switch to all SSD to hit theoretical… Right?

Needed more ports for core switch so decided to mess with Cisco. Not because I like or respect that company or need their features but rather to get real world experience with it. This has only reinforced my hatred of them, but it’s currently functional

Also needed to get 10G up, so went with microtik. This is also a curious little system, but at least it wasn’t $10,000 MSRP (Cisco came from eBay). Still need to configure vlans here: thinking I’ll just keep RouterOS but make it not route.

I wonder if there’s a place, that people could be memorialized, their contributions attributed. People can pass by, and leave a token of remembrance. Like a dev graveyard. Sounds like a great idea to me

Keep your eyes open only enough to not bump into stuff. Close when not needed
