Sure! Let’s rein in capitalism!

This is probably somewhat pedantic but capitalism that is properly tamed by socialism is no longer capitalism. Yes, capital will always exist, but once you adopt an economic system that subjugates capital to human needs, it’s not capitalism anymore.

Nope. Capitalism is the name of the cause of that doomerism.

You don’t have to be a dirty commie to be solarpunk, but I am personally very adamant that none of the solarpunk vision can come true without a fundamental re-jiggering of our economic mindset.

I’m thrilled. I never once asked Target their opinion on my sexuality and was never thrilled at being used by them.

My freedom to live will never be protected by a for-profit company.

I think I agree here. Corporate sponsors have proven to be fair-weather friends (shocked, shocked, I say!)

There is money to be made by vendors so the event will happen without a Target logo on everything. It is big enough to be an organic affair, as it should be.

Class solidarity trumps all!

It will not fail if we don’t assert our collective voice loudly and aggressively.

I was raised in a Christian cult and fought my way out of that. It was nice to enjoy a bit of social acceptance for about 15 years while I dealt with that damage.

There is no god damn way I am going back into that closet.

You have no apparent knowledge then of who McCarthy scapegoated and the methods his ilk used. It wasn’t just ‘Reds’. What an ignorant take.

Wait. Are they all synced up? Like the whole collective? Seems like a good exploit.

Beets.

Or bears.

Or buttsex.

It’s context dependent, like “cool”.

The wooden boat was marvelous. It was ‘tight like unto a dish’! Whatever the fuck that means.

Good call out on the smart values. That’s on the priority list for my monitoring scheme now too.

Thanks for the tip on measuring temp of the ram, too. I will incorporate that into my monitoring scheme.

The mini pc I have has a good case design with a fan that blows across the ram, cpu and ssd. So I think it has good cooling, but I will definitely confirm with some monitoring.

Humpbacks are mormon? Looks like aquatic jump-humping to me.

Oh boy, can of worms just opened. Awesome insight. I do have an ecosystem of servers already and i have a pi zero 2 set aside to develop as a dedicated system watchdog for the whole shebang. I have multiple wifi networks segregated for testing and personal use. Use both built in wifi for the network connection and a wifi adapter to scan my sub networks.

So great insight and it helps some things click into place.

Thanks, a solid suggestion.

I have explored that direction and would 100% agree for most home setups. I specifically need HA running in an unsupervised environment, so Add-ons are not on the table anyway. The containerized version works well for me so far and it’s consistent with my overall services scheme. I am developing an integration and there’s a whole other story to my setup that includes different networks and test servers for customer simulations using fresh installs of HASS OS and the like.

I have a fine backup strategy and I don’t really want to go into it here. I am considering my ecosystem of services at this point.

I am skeptical that this will overload my i/o if I build it slowly and allocate the resources properly. It may be the rate-limiting factor in some very occasional situations, but never a real over-load situation. Most of these services only sit and listen on their respective ports most of the time. Only a few do intense processing and even then only on upload of new files or when streaming.

I really resist throwing a lot of excess power at a single-user system. It goes against my whole ethos of appropriate and proportional tech.

I do have a backup plan. I will use the on-board SSD for the main system and an additional 1Tb HDD for an incremental backup of the entire system with ZFS, all to guard against garden-variety disk corruption. I also take total system copies to keep in a fire safe.

Good insights, thank you for the perspective. I will look into that more closely before committing.

That’s very relevant. Thanks for the heads-up. I will look into that.

That’s surely overkill for my use level. Most of these services are only really listening to the web port most of the time. Yes, some like Immich or Paperless-ngx do some brief intense processing, but I am skeptical that I need nearly that much separation. I am using an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. I am open to ideas, but I also press hard against over-investing in hardware for a single-person home setup.
