Terry A. Davis’s story inspired me to try coding professionally.

Unfortunately coding professionally convinced me I’d have more fun in IT.

Welcome to the class war rebellion comrade.

I want to be called out.

I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.

My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.

What’s crazy is that, personally, I seem to know just as many “Can’t this guy take a hint” women as I know “I’m not good enough for him so I should block him” type women.

I legitimately know two women who had that concern, blocked the guy on everything, and he either made an alt or found an obscure social to DM them on.

Both are happily married and medicated for their anxiety now.

This feels like propaganda to get me to want kids.

I would take care of alt timeline me because I know what I would have wanted and how that gets me to here.

And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

I knew a guy who did actually make method in his apartment bathtub.

It was in part to make clean up easier and also had ventilation!

Although that guys was an odd duck and chemistry genius. He’s a PHd student now and was actually making them meth so he could try meth he “trusted”

I doubt your average method manufacturer cares that much about safety though.

Always makes me think of this scene

To be fair, IF tumblr had added the tipping feature while porn was huge on the site, it might have became Onlyfans.

OF wasn’t always a porn site. It was trying to be a Patron that allowed adult content, but it became just a porn site.

I argue something similar would have happened to tumblr

I checked for you and good news!

Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3

That’s basically what I’m going for.

How are you connecting the mini PC via SATA and how are you powering the BOD?

Its probably a parent company situation.

Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

Capitalism baby!

Probably why they didn’t do it in the first place.

They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That’s when I used it.

What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

If not classes, some homie who’s an ex combat vet who’s not certified because they don’t want to give the feds or the NRA any money.

I’ve paid the fascists for their classes and its nothing special. I can save you a Sunday and several Friday afternoons and at least $300 in training with these blog posts I wrote.

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

“Signs” (2002) by M. Night Shyamalan

I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.
