won’t work, this is their own hosted gitlab instance lol

Sorry but some hobbies aren’t about validation, they are still social hobbies that require feedback.

If someone’s hobby is being a standup comedian and they go to 10 shows and there are 10 people at each show and 1 person laughs, then that person is probably going to want to quit stand up comedy.

It may be that the person is just not a good comedian, but it doesn’t mean that their hobby wasn’t stand up comedy and making people laugh.

If you take the analogy further and say that at their shows, they do long form, story comedy and then they get that lack of response and yet another person comes in, tells a recycled “your mother” joke and a “that’s what she said” joke and suddenly every seat is filled and everyone is roaring, you could see how that could make someone cynical? It’s not that they don’t actually like comedy.

Still doesn’t seem to work.

Tribalism + fearmongering propaganda + times of financial hardships is more effective than education.

That toxic flohride-free vaccines-cause-autism mindset has made it to Europe now. It is getting harder to find eco-friendly toothpaste that is better for your teeth than literally brushing without toothpaste.

Crazy that people don’t realize that you don’t swallow your toothpaste water. 😱😱😱

I wonder if it will be like the wind farm projects in the upper Midwest where projects are completely built and then red state politicians refuse to give the necessary permits for the transmission lines to connect them to the power grids.

Politicians who just happen to have a history in oil and gas and/or ust happen to get a ton of bribes lobbying donations from oil and gas companies.

This is a good way to do it.

I went one smaller with the Node 304 which only can do 4 HDDs with a GPU inserted. Going used for consumer desktop CPU is the most powerful play for the money I think.

This is a good path forward OP for a pretty powerful server

• Node 804
• Used AM4 motherboard ( microatx B550) (can be around 150€)
• used 5700X or similar (seen as low as 100€)
• new 500W power supply
• 32GB DDR4 3200 ram in 16GB sticks
• WD red plus 10TB helium filled for balance of noise and performance and price. My 10TB drives are as quiet as my 4TB. My scheme is ZFS mirror of 4TB (2 drives) for important docs, and 10TB drives for non critical data. Drives are by far the most expensive unless you get good second hand drives
• if you want to do Jellyfin media server, pick up an arc A310

what? no…

The problem is that the exceptions can actually be dangerous

Krita is also fantastic and better than most closed source drawing software

KiCAD is also getting almost as good as some of the closed source ECAD software and is definitely good enough for small companies not doing flex designs. It is by far the best hobbyist-targeted ECAD

Libre office is perfect now for small companies. It is only missing a couple of small office features. Maybe PowerPoint power users would have a hard time making morph animations

Bitwarden is pretty much the best-in-class password manager for companies too

OBS is the gold standard for streaming

VLC is also the gold standard for media players

Bitwarden is the only one that has SaaS backing and the rest is volunteer driven, but with different funding models.

I hope by 2030 KiCAD and FreeCAD will be much more prolific in the professional space for small companies.

All of their changes will be merged to freecad 1.0 apparently outside of a few UI changes that will be add-in options.

In the professional space:

Add Altium, KNX, pspice, LTSpice (luckily works in wine), and for us electronics/electric guys lol.

Linux is a 3rd class citizen in ANSYS simulation tools. Slow updates, old UI, etc… On Linux. Pretty much only used as a simulation node for kicking on sims from windows since Linux machines can be >1TB RAM + 144± core powerhouses where windows sucks on those type of machines.

Pretty much all architecture software

Many ERP systems desktop apps

Not to mention a lot of companies use active directory for access control + sharepoint

Web apps suck, but have been very helpful in Linux compatibility in the enterprise space since the devs only have to care about 1 set of production builds.

At my work, software guys and mechatronics PLC focused guys get away with Ubuntu (saleae is great), but for electronics and mechanicals it is not even worth it to dual boot.

Well being able to figure out 1 complex math solution per day vs 1 complex solution per 1.5 days for the person who just has to work on the problem for longer is balloons a lot over the long term.

Like how the average calorie burning difference between people is only 400 per day out of ~2000, but over a month that is like 1.5kg difference of mass burned which is 18kg per year.

But I don’t know if I am interpreting the result you said correctly.

I want a new, modern Battle for Middle Earth 2 with better balance, modern graphics, and maybe different modes like quick vs longer form games. Definitely some reform like making it more difficult to build walls, but the walls stand up better to infantry and you really need siege engines.

The game was not balanced competitively (men so OP) but holy damn the battles felt epic and building your own forts and castles to defend was amazing.

Also, I am confused at why nextcloud is at the intersection of networking, music, and multimedia.

Yes it technically has a video viewer and music player, but I would be very surprised if any person in the world right now is genuinely using it to post that content to the fediverse social-network style.

New year 2026? 😉

She absolutely should not concede and should fight tooth and nail to verify, otherwise america is literally given up to facism…

Well the entire multiplatform astroturfing campaign from people who call themselves leftists worked! Democrats stayed home instead of voting.

Now Palestine will be completely flattened with 0 resistance at all, and redoubled support and bombs for Israel! Way to go! You really showed your support for Palestine by helping this happen!

They will probably come back saying “it wasn’t our fault, we just pointed out the truth” while they shouted that a vote for Harris was a vote for genocide [so don’t vote for harris] from every platform that they used.

Ah yes, the classic child-abuser-apologist line that every “christian” brings out when confronted about the abuse of their revered leaders that they absolutely refuse to condemn before they go back to church to give money directly to the abusers every week.

Do you love Jesus or have convinced yourself that you love him because you are so afraid of hell? Very Stockholm syndrome-esque. Take kids during their developmental years and tell them that “people” go to hell and are tortured forever unless they love Jesus and follow sky-daddy’s rules (and by extension, the rules of the church). Then they are told that over and over until they are brought to a special ceremony to declare their love.

Or I guess you have never once been to church and never a single time been told that people go to hell if they don’t love Jesus and accept him into their hearts? I guess you just read the entire bible without any external influence at all and converted after your brain was fully developed after 25 or so, again, with nobody telling you about it. But I guess when you lie, you can just ask Daddy for forgiveness and you get off with no consequences! Tons of harm, no foul.

Either way, I guess I am glad because it is the only thing stopping you from rampaging around murdering, raping people and animals, stealing, torturing, maiming, abusing, and whatever else you apparently so strongly desire to do.

You said it right there in your comment.

Sleep mode, (and other effectively off modes) where it is functionally useless, it can do.

MSP430 can do 140uA/MHz. That is ~7 times the power that this application supplies, and that is not counting any single other chip quiescent current or chip that actively provides useful data. You would have to have a battery anyway or a big cap to provide the needed current for on-states. Or you could run it extremely low frequencies like you said, but those tend to not scale linearly at all with per MHz power ratings. Quiescent currents tend to catch up fast at that scale. I would be extremely doubtful that 150kHz would scale perfectly and wouldn’t have already exponentially decayed to around its lowest possible on-state consumption for the chip. I would definitely have to see tests on that.

The smallest of batteries like the VARTA tiny cells in TWS’s are infinitely more useful and practical and it would take this application months to fill a single cell, discounting all losses.
