Any platform that believes it should be their choice whether the user can opt-in to any part of the fediverse, is a big no from me.

[🆕 Cosmos 0.12 - HUGE update! All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager with app store, integrated VPN, and authentication provider, now has a Full Monitoring suite with alerts and notifications (including presets for anti crypto miner hacks!) 📈📊 ~reddit

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.

We would need Google to aggregate instances together for the benefit of search results, but the host instance is great to see.

Maybe when Reddit removes indexer access, Google may put some effort towards replacing it, but I wouldn’t give my hopes up waiting for Google Search to get better.

RX570 level.

The new 7840U AMD laptop processor has integrated graphics at a total 15W.

If your gaming is eSports, your battery life would benefit from an AMD iGPU rather than an NVIDIA GPU.

7840U for the CPU which is integrated graphics.

I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

Here you go, you’ll likely need a CBR reader app.

I ripped out all my portable drives, had to make a cable without the energy management line for inside a PC.

Big ATX case with 8 3.5’ bays, mobo with 6 Sata ports, last two ports will require a SATA-PCIe expansion card.

1x 4TB (shucked)

2x 6TB (shucked)

1x 8TB HDD

1x 16TB Ironwolf Pro

40TB across 5 bays, 1 left without expansion card, 2 more with the card, following that the 4TB will get dropped for a bigger drive.

I’ll likely be buying no less than 12TB per drive going forward, no RAID configuration yet.

That’s amazing, but not reasonably indicative of the specs we’ll normally find for that price.

Install official version from Microsoft website.

You can buy 7th Gen Intel 4-core with 16GB DDR4 & 128GB SSD for cheaper than a Raspberry Pi 4.

I have both a Pi4 & a ThinkCentre which is significantly more powerful, doesn’t take up much more space.

Hetzner VPS

He owes a lot of money to banks, etc, for the company.

Explicitly closing Twitter would make him liable for destroying other people’s equity. Accidentally destroying twitter while pretending to drastically fix it, while pretending it’s failing against his will and his taking measures to save it, is the only way to kill it without being on the hook for it.

Especially Firefly.

It’s about the server access sellers, but to block a whole major VPS instead of accounts that commit the violation is kinda absurd.

It looks like another step towards further restricting what users can do with their servers, local or virtual.

I use Turkey, it’s around $2.50 per month for the 6-person plan.

How niche are we talking

ThinkPads are considered the Windows/Linux equivalent of Apple laptops in business settings.
