any bias that doesn’t confirm my bias is reverse bias

my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on

sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things

my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.

figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.

I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.

and they’re not wrong.

I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.

I’m happy to give Black Magic Design my money.

I literally wouldn’t piss on Adobe if it was on fire.

I got my first mac a few years back off the side of the road, a 2009 imac that didn’t work. I went to a lot of trouble to find and install the most up to date mac os I could get on it for the challenge and because I’d never used a intel mac before.

Believe me, they absolutely did just flick a switch. everything about steam worked fine until the day it didn’t even load up. removing support is one thing, actively bricking your product is a total scum fuck move that is just common practice in gaming now.

combustion engines get better every year too. Engineers love optimizing what’s already there.

A breakthrough by it’s nature isn’t just a marginal improvement.

Of course I don’t know enough about the actual proof for it to be anything but a joke but there are infinite numbers so there should be infinite proofs.

there are also meme proofs out there I assume could be given a Gödel number easily enough.

ChatGPT what is the Gödel number for the proof of 2+2=5?

I’d bet less than inflation as always
