A couple years ago my in-laws were downsizing after retiring and they asked if I would possibly have any use for their ancient desktop PC (at least old enough to have shipped with Windows 7).

I installed Debian on it and it’s running Jellyfin, qBittorrent through Gluetun, Calibre-web, NextCloud, and Pi-Hole containers, with plenty of room to spare. I’ve also got some services running on Raspberry pis (back when they were cheap). And an external 4TB hard drive connected to it acting as a NAS. No hardware transcoding or 4K video on Jellyfin but that’s no big deal for me.

All that to say yes, you can absolutely self-host on repurposed hardware. Any old PC you’re looking at is no doubt newer than mine.

They just spend billions of dollars making sure Joe Rogan is on every from page and in a favorable spot in the algorithm.

Don’t even need a warhead. The Double Asteroid Redirect Test (DART) just threw the probe itself at an asteroid hard enough to affect its orbit.

As the parent of an autistic child, I’d much rather him be alive and autistic than killed by a completely preventative means.

Of course, that doesn’t even matter because vaccines don’t fucking cause autism.

Reams of research didn’t stop him from continuing to push all his bullshit about autism.

That’s why I’m not as worried about RFK as I probably should be. All these goals involve introducing wide-reaching regulations, which is completely at odds with this entire administration.

Funny that the executive order directs a return to office with a nearly non-existent timeline, specifically saying that everyone has to have a desk and a place to sit and work without resorting to extreme measures.

Almost as if this whole thing was extremely short-sighted. But they wouldn’t do that, would they? And surely not dozens of times within the span of a week.

So now that they got their abortion bans, they’re now going to shift their efforts towards protecting born children with the same amount of energy, right?

…right?

In case you needed more proof that AI is a bubble.

At least he kept it consistent with males

Half of your secret key pair is just out there for any one in the public to see! Which enables MASSIVE FRAUD!!

Maybe not nefarious, since it’s been a public idea for decades. He does like to put forward those ideas like he’s the one that thought of it. This one’s a net positive so let’s just let him play with the unplugged controller on this one.

Unless it turns out he and/or Elon bought something with copper. Which wouldn’t surprise me.

Giving special consideration to a certain group he thinks may have experienced a disproportionate amount of hardship due to biological factors beyond their control?

Sounds like some woke DEI nonsense.

Really? We had a family game night last night with the purchased digital edition of Until Dawn just fine.

The most they could do is try to arbitrarily make the licenses null and void, but there’s no functional way to outlaw making code publicly available without also outlawing the entirety of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Of course it’s Josh Hawley.

I think so, too. So I’m glad it doesn’t happen.

It also looks like he’s pushing the limits of what we’ll let him get away with. Judging by how quickly everyone is rushing to figure out how to comply with these orders, it looks like he’ll get away with a lot.

So they expanded traffic to make it slightly more convenient for lawmakers to fly directly to their home states and didn’t have enough air traffic controllers to accommodate the expansion.

How much you wanna bet we hear it was DEI initiatives that kept them from hiring enough qualified air traffic controllers? Since we’re already blaming DEI anyway.

The action requires federal agencies to review and potentially rescind funding from schools that teach concepts suggesting individuals are “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive” based on their race or that America is “fundamentally racist.”

So, do nothing because this isn’t actually happening? Like every other non-issue that’s been created?
