I don’t see why extreme wealth isn’t classified as a mental illness like hoarding.

Would continually run into disconnect issues with Ubuntu and Debian with all my Bluetooth devices. Got tired of tinkering with it.

I gave up on Bluetooth and Linux, made sure the wireless peripherals I wanted had 2.4ghz dongles. Been using Logitech 2.4ghz lightspeed for a while. Dongle is plugged into a hub mounted under the desk. Use piper to get all my Logitech mouse features. No complaints.

I did this a few years ago with a stack of pi 4s connected to a four port PoE switch. One was an openWRT router, one was a plex server connected to some spinning discs via usb, and I had another you could plug an hdmi cable into and use to view the media. I eventually found out I could host the whole thing on a single pi, but it was still a fun project. Could probably do it all on a pi 5 with an nvme hat no problem. Might look into that when I get the spare tinkering money.

Or might be “So what if a few die, there’s millions more where they came from. Hopefully they die within a year so we don’t have to give out raises and can hire the new people at less than minimum wage.”

If your main goal is a monero node/mining, start with AMD 3000 series processors, 3700x is a good place to start, and build a used system. If it’s just a node, any SoC will work with enough storage. A few months of a VPS could cost the same as buying your own hardware, that and you own the hardware and data instead of some corporation.

Everything runs in a docker container, so you will probably want to wrap your head around that first thing. Most people start with portainer or dockge for easy docker management and learning with a gui, although learning everything through the command line has its merits as well.

I would get a raspberry pi or an old NUC and just dive right into figuring out how to run the monero node. I believe the monero project maintains docker images. The monero communities are super helpful and nice, and so are the self hosted communities, if you hit a snag or don’t understand something.

Just hire illegal immigrates to do the deporting for half the cost!

/s in case it’s needed

Jump ship. Just know, windows will pull you back in, especially if you work in corporate/office work. I was doing my work from home on Linux for two years straight, then my work mandated windows 11 for everyone. It’s been a nightmare. I just want my xfce!

Closed to the public? So who was he there “serving” for two hours? Did he have riot police clear the facility for this photo op, like he did outside the church with the upside-down bible?

If you use WireGuard for local access, I don’t think you need to open any port on your firewall, unless you are sharing your plex with other people that do not have access via WireGuard. But I know just enough to get me in trouble, so I’m sure I’ll be corrected on this.

Sounds like the Russian and Iranian misinformation campaigns are working.

No shit

Which is why I don’t fly in a Boeing.

A duck duck go search of “Cancun” and “kidnapping” would argue against this.

I made a joke about optics, and people get offended.

Some “Day After Tomorrow” kinda shit right there

Excuse me, is that feet???

So, now they can just make arbitrary decisions without explaining themselves? So much for our democracy.

let’s build AI data centers with our last breath, because we are already fucked

Paraphrasing ex-google ceo

Too late, he’s already corrupt, as is everyone that associates with him. Every politician, every judge, every business owner that speaks his name in a positive light is corrupt to the core.
