There is one point that the statistics don’t grasp: the question whether a ban is used to “hold someone accountable” or because the mod just did not like a certain opinion or person.
The original statements stand. This statistic is solely about the amount of banning, not about the quality.
There are companies selling off PCs that are “too small” for Win11, really cheap. More than sufficient for a NAS. You might even get a bunch of them, chose the best mainboard/case/PSU set, put the others in storage, and get all the RAM and HDD in one box.
CC TLDs usually ask for proof of residence.
When there were ISP-owned routers, I just set a private router on the inside. As long as their box does their job, mine did work for me.
Having a full belly is a nice thing to have, thank you.
Basically, I do. Kubuntu everywhere. Only exception are the servers that run a UI less version of Ubuntu.
If it randomly locks up, try memtest86. It can often be found as a boot alternative in Linux installation images, but it is probably available solo.
As someone who has experienced double failure twice in my lifetime, I seriously recommend doing backups.
The problem is that the only serious backup solution is another HDD for this size. A robot array for tapes or worm drives is probably out of budget.
Thanks for the update, I somehow missed that.
TeX. Best documented source, and last bug found was 12 years ago.
I think my old scope still has this bus. Well, it also has Windows 98…
I just told this to my wife, and she giggled.
I’ve got a DELL server that I used as home server, but it was too loud. But it worked well, even at an advanced age. I moved the disks to a normal desktop machine (not DELL) that is much, much quieter.
If you don’t put the answer in the title, it’s clickbait, nothing more.
For small niches, six months can be rather aprupt.
While it is good not to waste hardware, maybe you should grab the opportunity now that the windows addicts have to upgrade their hardware to “follow the light”. They usually throw out boxes with bigger chips than a Pentium M.
I hope the stickers are just a prototype thing…
Apt update and upgrade happen automatically.
Forgot about that website you visited 3 weeks ago, late in the evening while drunk? Yup, we stored that!
Yes, but the search engine is so crappy you won’t ever find it. Our AI is thankful for the input, nonetheless…
And “weirdo” is for those people formerly identified as “male” or “female”?
