I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

I only got a house as the monthly was below that of rent. When I was renting, I read the richest man in Babylon book. Its a bit dated advice, but I combined that with the play yourself monthly mentally. What I mean is I set aside some money each month for me to spend on anything extra. New pants, go out to movies, whatever. This money can also carryover to allow for a larger purchase, like a phone.

Anyway, don’t look to others as an indicator to your life journey. Write your story and don’t stress.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

Cool, but no thanks.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

Freedom Friday, which is also on Tuesday

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

If it was free or included with my passport application sure is get it. I didn’t see the need for it as passports exist.

I didn’t think anyone is forced to get real id. Are they? I though it was always optional.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

The steps look good. It’s running Alpine. I wonder how long this takes start to helloworld.

tailscale worked some times, but seemed to depend on the location of the moon relative to the air speed of a nearby sparrow and it was really slow.

time for me to find an alternative

Is there harm if you continue to use your existing nas just for storage?

Im on flauncher, works for my needs

This is what he did in the first term as well.

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.
