I would steer clear of just getting something from Kickstarter. Just go for something solid with an existing community. Synology is good for beginners, or you could just build one and install the NAS OS of your choice like TrueNAS or OMV.

Lots of claims in here, but no specificity. I can tell WHAT they are selling: the hardware, or a software platform.

I’m also confused because they seem to missing the mark of what a useful piece of tech is for home users. Having everything all-in-one just compounds single points of failure. Also super confusing why they’re mentioning LTE and Starlink into this…makes it seem pretty stupid.

Honestly, if you’re just getting started, grab a cheap refurb from the Minisforum store, get a stack started and figure out what you actually, then make more informed decisions from there.

If you’re planning on hosting a large media collection, you probably want a NAS, which can also double duty for the other things you want to do as well in most cases if it supports running containers.

Don’t use “echo”. That’s akin to saying “Print everything after this echo command to the terminal”, so it’s just outputting the stuff after echo as if it were text.

We do? I haven’t seen those. Link me.

Well that’s…a bit conspiracy heavy I suppose.

The other explanation is that they are from states harder hit from the shutdown, and this essentially gets everyone paid right now and sets up this vote from two weeks from now where they can just shut it down again if the GOP doesn’t pony up.

100% NOT how updates work, but 👍

I’ve been building custom immutable distros for more than a decade. They have their place. Desktop and development ain’t that place.

The main application and use-case is obvious: IoT, EDD, consumer devices…etc. Maybe even bare metal if you don’t have proper PXE or other remote image booting. They mean nothing for cloud, because, well, why? They certainly aren’t needed for any container-based work either, because containers.

There’s a reason why devs aren’t adopting them.

Also, on your point about people “accidentally” deleting crucial files, that’s a straw man’s argument. If you have users in any kind of setting where you need a stable and repeatable install, you’re working with mapped network mounts and these users don’t have sudo/root access. If you’re dumb enough to be giving them said access, or deleting these files yourself, well that’s on you.

I absolutely love that they included a wider shot in the article that most people probably scrolled past, but I caught this in it:

They have the votes on the Dem side plus GOP defectors to pass something no problem. It would political suicide for the GOP people siding with Dems right to bail on it in a month, especially after people just got hit hard by this shutdown and the bills for their upcoming ACA premiums. I think they’ve got the votes.

The correct answer. It’s just using an extension Microsoft happens to have made, and everything still works fine without it.

Sprouts are very sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity.

Is that wall cold? Are there shadows where it sits? Is it warm in that area, or just filled with light? Do you have fans running? Is there an automated watering system providing the EXACT same amount of water to the “good” side vs the “bad” side?

I hear what you’re saying, but making this “the norm” only gives them more ammunition to move through “constitutional” qualifications to call an insurrection, an insurrection.

This is not the way.

Berries will last 3x longer in the fridge than on the counter. Longer if you give them a citric acid or diluted vinegar bath after you bring them home.

I don’t think that’s a great model for the maker who is clearly trying to SELL things.

Seems that might be a competing idea…

Is this…sarcasm?

I mean…IT HAS BEEN SAID that is her thing, so…

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS EVEN HAPPENING ANYMORE???

I think you might want to focus in a slightly different direction in that you want one with controls for power loss on AC that you can set. The physical button doesn’t matter the firmware does.

The Emporia ones I have do have firmware settings for that, but I have zero idea if ALL of them do. I think I got mine 3-4 years ago, so it may be different now with updated versions.

getfucked.ai is super cool…I heard. All the best people are saying it.
