Thats really not that big in terms of a NAS. Some crazy fuckers on reddit had literal PETABYTES of storage.

Oof, yeah, sharepoint is horrible

Active Directory is a hell of a drug, as is Group Policy

That and i hear macbook battery life is absolute black magic fuckery

I’ve got a Latitude XT2. some of the plastic bits aged badly and developed a sort of weird film, including the charger brick; if you’ve had the same problem, I scrubbed the hell out of those specific parts with goo-gone and a microfiber cloth and its smooth and shiny again.

Okay, that’s pretty sweet. Imma have to look into that, i know a guy who just retired a server with like 10+ old HDDs

Ive got an HP Zbook g6 coming my way soon I’m excited about, and its way overkill for what I’m gonna use it for; i just need a bigger laptop because i have giant meat hooks for hands and I actually use the numpad

Tl;dr, you can get a lot of laptop at decent prices looking at “older” hardware

Dell has some weird default settings (like RAID by default on single drive systems) that can be a bit janky in general

I… I’m pretty sure kissanime has been dead for years now at this point??

For starters, 9anime and its rebrand, aniwave, are long gone. You’re looking at a fake site.

Add Rebels into the mix as well, it delves into some of the nature of the force (plus, more Sam Witwer being awesome as his character.) And leads into Ahsoka.

I liked Origins, but not as an Assassins creed game. I’d say Assassins Creed died with Syndicate.

Apparently the next one wont require uplay (on steam) and will be supported on linux. I’m still not interested in it because of the trend of assassins creed becoming supermassive open world RPGs but it would be nice if it became a trend.

Probably Proton, who randomly started politically leaning towards US Republican recently.

Of course, I’m paranoid and don’t trust the US government. Or any government really. “First they came for _____” and all that; Id rather just tell them to pound sand immediately instead of get caught with my pants down.

“It does exactly what you tell it to do.”

Try Linux in a VM (virtual machine) for a while.

• Low hassle compared to dual booting,
• no risk of Microsoft randomly doing something to windows that breaks your Linux install.
• low/No system downtime if you decide you don’t like one distro or another and want to switch,
• no loss of game data for your son (I’ve lost so many saves because of games putting them in nonsensical places in windows; why is appdata still the default for minecraft saves!?)

Password management is the one thing i don’t plan to self-host, on the grounds of not putting all my eggs in one basket. If something goes wrong and all my shit is fried or destroyed, I don’t want to also fuck around with account recovery for my entire digital existence.

Plus, if something is breached, im more likely to hear news about Bitwarden than I am about compromised server and/or client versions in a timeframe to actually be able to react to it.

If there’s a Microcenter in the area, they do pretty great deals around tax return season (if in US), lots of cpu+RAM+MOBO combos for a good $200 off.

I have no idea what you’re referring to, diablotek is a perfectly valid power supply manufacturer (/s do they even still exist? I heard they were legendary for exploding)
