About where it should be, really. The kicker is that prices went way up when rates were so low for so long, anf prices are sticky.

Grandparents in the 70s were paying like 12 or 15 percent.

That's easy, Devidians

Why is there a Sontaran in a Star Trek episode named after a Le Carré novel

How we are able to pick up a 30 watt or whatever signal from that far away is kinda bonkers

Came here to say this. The correct size and depth bit on a Phillips is a thing of beauty and grace. If you get it the slightest bit wrong (pun yes) God help you and your offspring to 7 generations.

It still works, don't toss it. You can use software with it and tune in lots besides DVB. Like radio, ACARS, VHF, whatever.

And Andor. Then I could take the bare plot details of the prequels. And Clone Wars is good too. Nice well rounded experience with that, and forget the rest.

Buckle up buckaroo

There's a lot of argument about how Odysseus shot through axes. But the one that makes the most sense to me is that they were the long kind without the hafts stuck in the ground so the holes lined up.

How is this even a thing? Businesses can't just have open network connections.

You could set up wireguard via stunnel maybe to port 22

And by outdated, like 2015. Old E7440s or even older work great with added memory. New battery and you have a nice laptop out of the e waste pile. The only weak spot are drives, SSDs are expensive so to stay cheap you might have to use old spinny in there.

For development? I've been using old Dell Latitudes. They are easier to work on than HPs, generally sturdy, and Debian runs great on them. You can get a used E7440 for next to nothing, and old RAM is still cheap.

I don't know what this one has but Mint runs OK on it.

I've got a Acer Aspire One with an Atom in it that I still use. The form factor is awesome, I wish it was 64 bit and 4 gig though. Just use it for emergency firewall management as I don't think it is getting updates.

Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I'm a little suspicious of it now :D

Edit: all right, all right, I installed it. It has a thing about not uploading all the pictures I give it, some error out. I have a feeling it is due to the library being on a NAS share.

Of everything, this is low on the list of things to be annoyed about. While there were probably better ways, this is an area used for gatherings and DC being DC, it is pretty marshy and unusable as a lawn. There have been plans for a long time to do something like this.

Here's the serious advice: whenever you have to think about it like this, don't do it.

I wouldn't scan shit from a website. Random QR codes are a security risk. Just won't visit that website.

Aint a thing wrong with a 2004 Civic. Reliable, good mileage, and it doesn't spy on you.

Hang on. You can't play games on a PlayStation without giving your ID?
