Boxsprings are often overlooked and underrated too! They’re a critical part of a well built sleep system!

2D screens (or screens at all maybe?)

Keyboards.

Not initial replier, but I too immediately assumed you were an American who didn’t vote for him.

Likely because of all the, people, we had running around Canada for five or so years saying “Trudeau isn’t my Prime Minister!”, amongst other more colourful anti-Trudeau slogans.

Hotdog!

Mostly racoon from what I’m led to believe.

Help, help, I’m being repressed!

I thought it might be interpreted as mean spirited

ngl, it is, a touch, but, I mean, seriously, “no it’s ok because capitalism and don’t tell people or they’ll kill themselves” lol, um, wut? lol … there is no other way to respond to that.

I’ll bring it back just for you!

lol why’d you delete? that was on point. I hit upvote and ‘poof’ it was gone. :-(

WOW! We struggle with those every year. It doesn’t harm the plant?

As a male?

• Empathy
• Compassion
• Basic human decency

I’m being horribly cynical, obviously - it’s not that all males lack it, it’s that the humans in the world who lack it the most are ALL MALE

LOL!!

The original station was called “City TV”, they had a news program called “City Pulse”. In the late 90s/early 00s they launched a 24h news channel and called it “Cable Pulse 24”. At some point along the journey they shortened to that unfortunate name that I will now not ever be able to see and not laugh!!

Does this diagram make sense?

Not so much, no. At least, I’m having issues with it … and I’ve been a networking professional for more than 25 years.

Diagrams are best scoped to the OSI layer you’re talking about, in my experience. For my home lab I have a huge layer 2 diagram, and a totally different one for layer 3.

If you’re asking about ‘LAN protected by Netgate’, then we’re concerned with layer 3 - so I’d omit the patch panel and illustrate things from a layer 3 point of view.

That aside, it looks like yes, your whole LAN will be ‘behind’ your Netgate. I can’t speak to the specifics of the C1300 you mention though as I’ve never used a Netgate product.

Logic, the entire universe, and a million studies: “Working from home makes people happier, healthier, and more productive!”

My dumbass company: “We’re going to force you back to the office now, k?”

I mostly agree, and did the same with my second gen lab build - instead of shiny new NUCs like I had used round 1, I bought old off lease Dell Xeon boxes. SO MANY PROS -

• Got them up to 14c/28t each
• They can take GPUs and actually do heavy transcoding/ML work
• They can take up to like, 128GB of memory, which is GREAT when they’re all hypervisors

The downsides can’t be denied though -

• Even without the GPUs and beefed up CPUs, they are power hogs - the CPU alone uses more than an ENTIRE NUC
• They run HOT
• They run LOUD

The same holds true for off-lease SFF stuff, Lenovo and the likes …

So while reuse/repurpose is absolutely of the utmost importance, no question - when it comes to technology and how quickly it advances and miniaturizes, a thorough and logical pros/cons list is often required.

I’d add another option though - if you do need what a Pi brings to the table - do you really need a shiny new Pi 5? Is it possible a used Pi 3 or Pi 4 would do the trick, and check the reuse box?

Yes.

omg I did that when I had COVmonia last year and many times figured I’d rather just be dead.

I’ve heard many right wing folks complain, because in this country at least (Canada), the right LOVES to brain wash them into believing government should be smaller, socialism is bad, and high taxes are evil (even though when they get in they only give tax breaks to their rich friends).

I, one of seemingly few rational thinking humans left in this country, have always understood, believed, and told those people at every opportunity - “THAT IS WHAT PAYS FOR OUR SERVICES”

I remember before I deleted my FB account one tool on there complaining about an incoming ‘digital services tax’ (i.e. Netflix subs and such), and I quickly skim his wall or whatever, and he was collecting the “oh noes, I lost my job cause covid, please give me money government” benefit we had just like, a year prior - they SERIOUSLY just do not understand they very benefits and services they rely on and complain aren’t big enough or good enough, ARE FUNDED BY THOSE DAMN TAXES.

As infuriating as all that is - it’s even worse to see an entire half of our government fanning the flames of this idiocy, reinforcing it, and teaching them it is right!!

Nice try Facebook.

You seem ill.

This. Just block and move on. jfc some people have issues.

“YOU’RE NOT DOING THINGS THE EXACT WAY I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING THINGS, WAH WAH”

Who thinks they’re the centre of the world here exactly?

Edit/P.S. Glad everything worked out - and I not only wouldn’t have answered the door, but wouldn’t have bothered to check the camera after either. It’s always door-to-door bs of one form or another around here … or car thieves.

Take my meaningless upvote!
