In Japan they let kids go outside without supervision starting a really young age.
Yeah I live in Japan and my daughter started going on errands (“go get some milk/eggs”) alone at age 5. All kids are then expected to walk themselves to elementary school starting from the first week, there is no room for drop-offs from a car.
This is why I’m still using a Synology ¯\(ツ)/¯
I can install all the fun stuff I want in Docker, but for the core OS services, it’s outsourced to Synology to maintain for me
“Oooh it’s December, time to raise taxes to 20%. Ok January again, lowering taxes to 0%. The people love me!”
As recent as the 90’s it also used to be left-wing to oppose immigration, since it was seen as a way for the right to devalue labor and lower wages.
A lot has changed.
Originally calling everyone old a “Boomer” was a reaction to older people calling everyone who was young “Millennials” even when millennials were now in their late 30’s
All my stuff is running on a 6-year-old Synology D918+ that has a Celeron J3455 (4-core 1.5 GHz) but upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
Funny enough my router is far more powerful, it’s a Core i3-8100T, but I was picking out of the ThinkCentre Tiny options and was paranoid about the performance needed on a 10 Gbit internet connection
Same here in a Synology DS918+. It seems like the official Intel support numbers can be a bit pessimistic (maybe the higher density sticks/chips just didn’t exist back when the chip was certified?)
Most 720p TVs (“HD Ready”) used to be that resolution since they re-used production lines from 1024x768 displays
It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity
Same here, both the X and the Reddit things came at a time when I was trying to cut down on social media usage as it was definitely having an effect on me. Having social media that runs out and doesn’t just go on for infinity is so much healthier.
I came over with everyone else in the big exodus wave from Reddit when they killed third party apps.
I didn’t even use a third party app so it didn’t affect me, but as an old-school Internet user I believe in federated networks over centralized services and it seemed like the one opportunity to finally get critical mass.
I recently got upgraded to 10 Gbit fiber at home so I’ve been through researching this stuff.
With a 3G WAN, I’d go with a 2.5 Gbit LAN - 2.5G equipment is quite affordable now. The next step is 5G but that equipment is rare, and 10G starts getting expensive.
Do you know what router they’re giving you? What LAN ports does it have? Does it even have a 2.5 or 10G LAN port or only 1G ports?
USB 2.5G adapters are available new for cheap and I’ve had good luck with them, even using one on a Synology NAS with an open source driver.
The wiring is probably fine as long as you don’t have any very long runs. I’d keep it and only replace it if the links randomly drop down in speed to 1G.
2.5G switches also aren’t too expensive. You can get one with only a few ports for the devices that can make use a lot of bandwidth (PC/NAS/Server) and plug your current switch into it for all the 1G devices like TVs, game consoles etc. The PiHole definitely doesn’t need a fast connection.
They’ve been trying in Sweden by pushing paternal leave to make it so the males are just as likely to take time off as women so it’s more equitable, but there was a lot of pushback on “forcing men” to do it and not allowing for “individual choice” as to who takes the parental leave
