  • What would you say about your chances?

    That there's a 10% chance.

  • Im glad I wasn't the only one to be let down by the third word in that headline.

  • what would you do with an old dell server?

    Jump

  • Same. For most people in our space, a Dell Optiplex micro is more than enough horsepower (except few expansion ports). There's no reason to be running a legacy server consuming 2.5kW just to host some movies or store your camera footage.

  • $100 is actually a great deal. I had a bunch of shucked 8TB WD EasyStore in my media server previously, bought between 2018-2023, and I think the best deal I ever saw during that time was around that price. Around $12/TB was always my benchmark for a great deal on some drives.

  • there is a reason that comcast et al basically have like a 1 gig upload on a 100 gig down connection.

    Because they're limited on channels and allocate more of them for increased download speed because most people upload very little data comparatively.

    The bandwidth cap is just a pure money grab as they removed the caps during covid when everyone was video calling and sitting around online at home and 'somehow' their network handled it just fine.

    None of this has anything to do with piracy.

  • Florida man opens fire during argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay: police

  • That Sunshine law just states public meeting records must be publicly available not that every criminal case needs to be made public (as an example just look at any one of the thousands of cases involving police brutality where details aren't released). This is just a myth that got repeated over and over on reddit for years to the point that everyone believes it.

    This type of shit is explicitly unique to Florida.

  • What's happening now is the culmination of things that have been happening for a long time. Trump getting defeated wouldn't have stopped it and we can look at the 2020 election as proof of this. Even after he croaks, this will happen (as evidenced by Dick Cheney's late demise) until the people stand up against it.

    The system is broken and following the rules and path laid out by that very system isnt going to fix things.

  • This is the status quo. If you want positive change then you need to make a change instead of repeating the same behavior over and over while expecting different results.

    I legitimately don't understand how you can gesture at everything terrible happening around you while arguing that voting differently for once is "voting against your own best interests." If that's the case then what's happening now is in your best interest, and you should be happy about that because this is the result of constantly maintaining the status quo every single election.

  • So you vote for different people. There's these things called "Primaries" and "Campaigns" where you can contribute before the general election to get more amenable candidates.

    How'd that work out in the '24 primary?

    The main reason we don't see these better people is because people choose not to participate.

    Can you expand on your reasoning behind this statement? If we have a two party system where the two parties are incredibly polarizing, and we shouldn't vote outside these two parties, what mechanism ensures additional voters bringing out better candidates?

    In this scenario, both parties know you're not going to vote for anyone else, so why would they care what you or anyone else thinks of them or their performance? They win by percentages not by the number of votes, so it wouldn't make a difference whether three people or 300 million people vote.

    Furthermore, why don't you admit you extend this same faulty logic to party primaries? Are you really going to vote for the socialist candidate if it means they'll have to face the opposing party's candidate in the general or are you going to vote for the status-quo, establishment candidate with the belief that they'll have a better chance at winning in the general? I'm willing to bet you believe the latter and if that's the case, at what point are these "better candidates" supposed to come along?

  • Well if you're so eager to keep people voting for the establishment choices, you really shouldn't complain when either one of them wins, nor should you complain about the state of the government as both represent the system working exactly as you want it to.

    Frankly, we should just simplify things by making everyone's vote automatic based on which ever one of the two parties you register with and restrict any unapproved party or candidate from running for office. There's no point in filling out ballots as this just leads to people voting incorrectly and opens the possibility of things happening outside of the establishment's expectations, which is bad for everyone.

    We just need to have faith and hold on to hope that the establishment will change the system that keeps them in power at some indeterminate point in the future, but for now we must do as the establishment commands.

  • Say that to the people who chose to vote for Harris over a third party. We now have the orange dolt bullying Latin American countries and disappearing brown people in the US among many, many other atrocities he's committing.

    See this holds true both ways.

  • Can we see your proposed solution? Continuing to vote for the very same people who've made things awful with the hope that "it'll be different this time"doesn't really seem like a logical solution.

  • $15.99 for two LD2410 is a bargain considering I've been looking a presence sensors for HA and they easily cost $60+ each. This is legitimately useful information!

    Do you only need the ESP and presence sensor or is extra circuitry needed? I can probably print out some type of enclosure.

  • You'll want to double check me but I think Fusion360 still has a free version buried somewhere on their site. I know last time I opened mine it was working but I thought I'd read something about it going away.
