I ran it on a Pi Zero W for a bunch of years, and it was as stable and problem free as it gets.

Early this year I swapped out my wifi/router for a minipc running OPNsense. I retired the pihole since OPNsense has Unbound built in.

AdventureLog is pretty cool. Pairs with Immich nicely too.

Paperless NGX is awesome. Of course Immich. I also really like Firefly-iii and Home Assistant.

I gave it a look. And I’ll say that personally I’m not a big fan of card stack views, but that’s prob just me. The main reason I’m leaving the note here is to say that the app name bounding box in the cards seems to just truncates the app name. It works fine at 75% zoom, but at 100% zoom I only see the first 2 or 3 characters of the app name. Could be an artifact of the browser I’m using (Brave/MacOS), but figured I’d let you know.

It’s bonus depreciaton, not expenses, and it’s a business tax benefit, not an individual tax benefit.

Businesses can, and for a long time, have been able to deduct aircraft expenses. Nothing has changed there, and it’s not unique to this turd of a president. The return of bonus depreciation lets them depreciate faster, but again, depreciation is not new. It’s reasonable to removed about that, but you have to get every fact wrong to make that complaint.

I installed AIO on an old machine (retired gaming PC) a few months ago. I use NC notes and file sharing, and have disabled other services I don’t need. It’s running behind a proxy server. It’s worked fine so far. I use Immich for photos though, not Nextcloud. I heard a lot of gripes about Nextcloud for photos.

You can’t get a decent non-smart TV, but you can just not connect a Smart TV to the internet.

Any TV you buy will have a range of “picture quality enhancement” settings. These all introduce some rendering latency. Game modes on TVs (for the most part) bypass the PQE functions. Rtings.com is a quality source for this kind of info. They do good work and publish their testing methodologies.

Source… worked a shitload of years in TV electronics, and was part of the industry from Smart TVs being godawful to just a few years ago.

Yeah. And even “loss of functionality” makes it sound passive; as if it just happened by accident. They Intentionally broke a working product.

I bought one a bunch of years ago. Maybe 10 years. It worked fine. Did it’s thing. Then for no reason google chooses to kill it. Fool me once.

Also there’s no legal obligation to answer your door.

Skip the olive oil. If you’re buying it on a beans and rice budget, its gonna be fake olive oil anyway. Just use corn/canola/veg oil.

I bought a generic N150 based minipc for a firewall & router (running OPNsense), and repurposed an old desktop PC as a server to host immich, paperless, nextcloud, etc… I considered both RPi and mini pc for the server, but I needed a few TB of storage and wanted redundancy. Spinny disks were a much more affordable option than SSDs, and minipcs and Rpis tend to not have much space for those drives. You can add on storage to them, but then they just become clunkier and more expensive than the old PC I already had laying around. Power consumption is probably a few watts higher on the PC than a Pi would be, but it’s not terrible.

That’s why I went the direction I did. I’m 3 about or 4 months in, and it’s been solid so far.

The website is great:

“97% of people hate their job. But we’re putting an end to all this misery.”

They were already dangerous when Trump told them to stand back and standby. They became significantly more dangerous when he deputized them and instructed them to wear masks and avoid being identified while they rounded up opposition. They became even more dangerous when Doge gave them access to everything the government knows about citizens to improve the effectiveness of their harassment and intimidation. They need became more dangerous when they arrested blue-state politicians for asking questions and nothing came of it. And yeah… the better their tools get, the more dangerous they become.

But simplifying this to “experts say it’s dangerous” under sells reality so badly.

that’s how the codec game works.

That, and add some patent pools filled with dubious claims of essentiality, sales deals made under the threat of litigation, and ever-present claims of “twice as efficient it’s predecessor” with a big asterisk. Fun times.

It’s just Dodger’s fans [pissed|happy] about the big [win|loss].

And Microsoft. Ain’t nobody buying SharePoint because it’s good.

I don’t use the phone part of my smartphone much, so thie idea of a dumbphone has no real appeal for me.

And yet… I would’t bat an eye if I saw a new executive order tomorrow requiring that.
