I too once held to that ideal, but after typing almost exclusively on Model M keyboards for 40+hrs a week (Unix Sysadmin + gamer ) for 30+yrs I started to feel some strain in my fingers and hands.

About a year ago I switched to the SS Apex Pro with adjustable magnetic switches and I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Yeah the software is kind of stupid but the actuation points can be adjusted and saved into several different profiles from the keyboard without the software, so I’ve been pretty happy with it so far.

I use proxmox mail gateway (PMG) for my homelab, configured to relay through my Gmail domain using smtp auth.

I’ve also used PMG at the enterprise level. Never had an issue with it.

It’s postfix underneath.

Yes and no. For the clouds that we did have, yes, the eclipse was enough to affect those.

However, for the clouds that we had earlier in the day, and that had been predicted that we might have, would have been far too heavy for eclipse to effect. Unfortunately my sister up in New York ended up in that situation, where it was far too heavy a cloud cover so they didn’t get to see anything. We had been predicted that we might have that, but that’s the manner in which we got lucky.

the least terrible Republican that isn’t trump for this primary election.

And who might that be? While Trump is by far the worst, none of the others seem significantly better than each other.

Plus everyone, but Haley and Trump have dropped out.

No, odds are your parents didn’t buy a house in their 20s. Certainly it wasn’t common. And once they did, it was likely a small house. And it’s starting to piss me off that young adults think it was common.

• We (GenX) were 30 in a MCOL area, but with very good paying careers.
• My (boomer) parents were 35 when they finally got to buy a house in a LCOL area - and it was a real fixer upper that hadn’t been lived in for 2 years.
• Their (Silent/Greatest) parents didn’t buy a house until they were in their mid-30s in a M/HCOL area. On my mom’s side it was a 800ish sqft duplex with 1 bathroom where they raised 3 kids. Father’s side hadbit more room (maybe 1300ish) but still 1 bathroom and 3 kids.

And up to the point where we did buy a house, I always lived with roommates. There was only a couple month period where I ever lived by myself in an apartment, and it was a stretch, and I was glad (financially anyway) when I got a roommate again.

Neither of my parents ever lived alone l. They lived at home until they got married and rented together. Same for all my grandparents.

Y’all must be doing something wrong because HW raid has been hot garbage for at least 20years. I’ve been using software raid (mdadm, ZFS) since before 2000 and have never had a problem that could be attributed to the software raid itself, while I’ve had all kinds of horrible things go wrong with HW raid. And that holds true not just at home but professionally with enterprise level systems as a SysAdmin.

With the exception of the (now rare) bare metal windows server, or the most basic boot drive mirroring for VMware (with important datastores on NAS/SAN which are using software raid underneath, with at most some limited HW assisted accelerators) , hardly anyone has trusted hardware raid for decades.

While I could easily get more than $10mil with my current knowledge (assuming I go back in time to 6yrs old), I would not have the same wife or child as I do now, and there’s no way I’ll give them up, so I’ll just take the $10mil now .

I’m pretty sure you can make them set the modem/router to bridge mode and run your own router. If it’s cable, you can also buy your own non-router cable modem, then use whatever router you like behind it.

Or the pull off tab rips right off, leaving the seal itself perfectly intact.

The vast majority of Israelies and Palestinians are good people just trying to live their lives.

The leadership of both are the bad guys.

I’m on this very project right now.

I’ve been using option 1 for many many years. It lets me keep control of the encryption, and it’s accessible just about anywhere.

UPSes aren’t meant to keep things running for long periods of time.

If you’re trying to keep things on for hours, you need a generator. Then the UPS just needs to keep things running until the generator comes online.

I suspect it’ll be a lot cheaper to get a small generator than it would be to buy enough UPS and batteries to run things for multiple hours.

fondled in a theatre full of children.

Let’s not stoop to their (the right/GOP) level with the misinformation. While there may have been children present in the theater, most of the people there were adults.

There’s plenty enough wrong with what they were doing without trying to demonize them with additional lies.
