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.

It’s there now

Sorry to hear. I think there are some firmware downgrades around to flash to some of the pc drives to get ripping working, unless this is specific to this particular movie.

You might have a bad disk, do an exchange. I have had many bad uhd disks from new boxes over the years. I wish optical storage wasnt used for this kind of thing.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

You should see the price of books lately.

You mean convince more people to not buy android phones. Man we used to be able to run custom kernel code on the palm pre to try and get more performance out
