Yeah, that’s where the ‘IT professional’ lost me.
(They might have a complicated setup with everything overly managed … but this is just a new vlan, unrelated to anything …)
Not to mention you might want to have one for test purposes anyway.
Also there are alternativnes, like mobile data via phone hotspot.
Or giving a kid to play some horror game on your gaming rig.
Or saying you don’t have wifi, wired net only, why didn’t they bring an ethernet dongle??
It’s only considered evil if it doesn’t also produce dial-up noises.
But since op didn’t clarify, let’s just assume evil.
Were megacorp CEOs/biggest owners invited too?
Atm it’s running Proxmox, but I’ll go bare metal with a fresh install of Hannah Montana Linux, I want to do things proper this time!
Yeah, it’s not a hero story, no.
I totally agree - and depending on your needs & budget, slightly older server-grade equipment idle power usage is much higher compared to consumer stuff (servers didn’t really know how to idle until “recently”). And also if you don’t host a tone of different things for different users (ie you don’t need all the pcie lanes) you get so much faster CPUs for the same monies.
The only server-grade things you need are ofc disk drives that are gonna do server stuff.
And a good PSU (but a nice Seasonic is almost server-grade anyways). When ppl talk about power usage they tend to forget PSUs (they check their PC usage with a shitty PSU that itself can’t idle low & maybe doesn’t even get to 90% at peak loads).
… 100W? Isn’t that like a rally bygone era? CPUs of the past decade can idle at next to nothing (like, there isn’t much difference between an idling i7/i9 and a Pentium from the same era/family).
Or are we taking about arm? (Sry, I don’t know much about them.)
This is my rig, I already bought 20 30TB disks, how do I proceed?
The final step really rustled my jimmies.
But then the next step absolutely sounded by urethra with Uralmash-15000 deep bore drill.
And then ultimate-goatse my butthole with the jaws of life.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese Thai meal?
Yeah, with the unwillingly part I meant that I try to compensate (immediately), usually by acknowledging that I don’t have enough data.
The parents?
The social media is fairly monopoliesed, so atm it’s neither parents nor the gov controlling them, it’s a random megacorp.
So what you suggest is still overcontrolling them, just by another (unelected, for profit) party.
And even if one kid doesn’t use social media but the majority does, that kid will be an outsider their whole life lacking a big part of the experience that shaped the majority.
That said, I’m ofc very much pro (actual) anonymity on the internets bcs way too many bad undemocratic/anti-equality things can come out of it, especially in a time of giant walled internet gardens with huge power & even larger interests.
That rubber suit
Wait, so you thought to just post something of only mediocre comedic value instead of a masterpiece??
Lol, feline war cries at 3am - to battle!
(Stay strong.)
Explain to her that you talked about her oppressive habit online, maybe she’ll become introspective & reflect on the matter :D.
(Also I’m glad she has other normal cats around <3.)
Don’t do that …
