This is a really good review about the actual tradeoffs involved.

I had this happen yesterday!

Rodecaster pro II has USB ports that function as both a client and a master, and was back feeding enough power into a gigabyte motherboard to keep the ram LEDs on, the Ethernet WOL status light, and prevent the system from powering on.

I ordered a bunch of USB power blockers (porta pow) and we will see if it fixes the issue.

For privacy promoting group, they want to know a lot of centralized information

It’s like crazy ex syndrome. They block you, but if you block them back in reciprocating fashion now your the bad person.

Should we examine your profile?

Your username here is blow me, how is your dating app presence?

Are you putting up any red flags, without realizing it?

I use tinder, it’s been really good for me.

The key is to use the app that is popular in your location.

Attitude is a huge factor, think of it just like meeting random people, maybe having great discussions, maybe having an excuse to go to event with somebody, having a good adventure. No pressure no expectations. If you have a plan people love to join the plan. So the initial swipe match game is what it is. You can have a friend with a good camera take some nice photos, you can show interesting places, interesting things, let the app choose your most engaging photo for you automatically.

When you talk to people find something interesting about them, ask them questions about it, have your own agenda, invite them to events you already have planned and no big deal if they don’t go. Surprisingly most people want to go and see what this cool thing you’re doing is. And then from there you know you can build up.

The dating apps are just a meeting place of people who are interested in meeting people. If you treat it like that, just like a happy hour, you’re going to have a great time

How could they not be called the away team?

I’m not the OP, but you can get 8TiB SSDs, they are spendy, but doable, no spinning disks required, the benefit of using a nas based solution is you can put a bunch of cheap SSDs in

Not directly an answer, but the CRT guy has a series of industrial computers for different environments, which could provide inspiration.

Some of them have direct DC inputs, some have anti-vibration designs, some have massive passive cooling!

I think a Synology box would work for you, or a TrueNas design - you could just build out one of their motherboards in your own itx case. These are good, robust, anti-vibration, mobile low power cpus, hardware selected for robustness and minimum heat. Stick it in a cupboard and forget about it, they run containers, and vms.

they need some big fans running pushing air north across the border.

Donating even a very small amount sends a signal, and makes the developers feel valued. You spent time and effort to send a token amount, that is a strong emotional event.

It wasn’t broken. But thank you for letting people know it works on platforms other then xen.

I put something big on top of a switch, and two days later the switch started working weirdly. And I spent two days debugging why my internet was getting bad. And it turns out the switch was overheating!!!

Yes! They’re my kind of crazy.

I run it on one of my machines all the time. I’d say after about 3 weeks it’s totally usable, you get used to the quirks. Framework is such a good pairing with qubes.

Wait, what? You can sponsor projects through fdroid? How?

I use monero to donate monthly to projects I use

• Grapheneos
• Molly.im
• Divest
• Tor
• Free tube
• Keypass
• Qubes!!
• Privacy guides

I use monero to pay for services i use

• Mullvad

For the projects that don’t accept monero I use Libre pay

• Briar…

Why briar of all projects doesn’t accept monero I will never know…

…

I tried to drink the Kool-Aid, I have to use the ecosystem if I want to support the ecosystem, if I want it to grow. The same reason I’m using lemmy

What’s the name of the game? Where can we learn more about it?

Ah yes the 1964 swiss civil war. Terrible time
