Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

This is the way.

I just got a mouse for my SNES and it’s great watching people play Mario Paint for the first time.

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

I only got a house as the monthly was below that of rent. When I was renting, I read the richest man in Babylon book. Its a bit dated advice, but I combined that with the play yourself monthly mentally. What I mean is I set aside some money each month for me to spend on anything extra. New pants, go out to movies, whatever. This money can also carryover to allow for a larger purchase, like a phone.

Anyway, don’t look to others as an indicator to your life journey. Write your story and don’t stress.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

Get a box of cds at a garage sale.

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Spotify was great for me back in 2016-2017. Now i just to cds i buy. It’s a lot more for new cds, but nice

I rip music to play in the car for my kids. Mostly mix tracks they like.

In one of the data sets (4 i think) there are photos of a hard drive. What’s on there? 🧐 There are also photos of evidence of like tape recordings and cassette, but not sure what’s on them either.

The few the grand jury stuff i clicked through was redacted, so there’s that. I’ll wait for someone with more time to review what’s there, but doesn’t look too exciting. The court records are more interesting.

I didn’t think they indexed the pdfs.
