I dont think this really holds water either as those cartridges couldnt have cost more than a few dollars to make, and while things aren’t distributed physically as much anymore, there are still costs associated with distributing games digitally too.

Ive been watching a lot of public freakout videos lately and the number of people who call police over their fast food order being wrong is quite astounding.

Agreed. They were my first before Mullvad (now AirVPN since Mullvad removed port forwarding). I switched around the buyout when my renewal came around, but it was cheap and did work fine. I haven’t heard any horror stories in the years since, and if you’re just using it to torrent, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.

Not Mullvad anymore unfortunately. You’ll want a VPN with port forwarding like AirVPN or else you won’t be able to connect to everyone. Anyone else without port forwarding set up won’t be able to connect to you nor will you connect with them.

RARBG shut down years ago so whomever is running a site by that name now isn’t legit.

This is hilarious and mom probably wants an excuse to enjoy Christmas just like us atheists and agnostics do (decorating and gifts).

Im running a similar setup (ZFS pool, Cockpit, portainer x2, and a few LXCs for Plex, Frigate, etc) and it’s been great. Before building it early this year, I’d been running everything on Windows for the decade prior because I was unfamiliar with Linux and struggled like OP when problems arose, but after following a guide to get everything setup it’s been rock solid and if I screw anything up I can just load a backup. I’d also looked into TrueNAS and Unraid but this gives me a more flexible setup without any extra cost and the ability to tinker without affecting anything else like you said.

Wow its like a spitting image of him. It’s probably been a decade since I played the game but I don’t recall him being a very likeable person.

The caption should read “heist” instead of robbery though. If I were that kid’s teacher, he’d be getting a B- for that joke.

I don’t get the joke.

Seems like they’re also using two different Intel chips in their testing for some reason.

What about a regular PIR sensors? Google is showing me suggestions to put tape inside the lens of one if you want to narrow the beam.

I go either way since graffiti can range between beautiful works of art and some douchebag tagging his local ‘crew’ name on my neighbors fence.

This one is amusing and definitely gets a pass from me though.

Upvoting for worshed.

Before torrents, back when I had a new Compaq Presario with 28.8k dial up and a 40GB hard drive, I would set Napster to download 3-4 128k bitrate MP3s overnight and hope the modem wouldn’t disconnect during that time.

That describes their entire product line. We have a Samsung range that is already crapping out after a couple of years. One of the burners turns on at max power regardless of where you adjust the knob and the “hot surface” light stays on 24/7.

Quarter after quarter of expected growth in an industry that only works with cheap prices.

Peak “bad things only happen to other people” energy here. Ignorance and flippancy will surely protect you!

But now you’ve exposed your network to the open internet without any sort of security.

Plus what about adaptive layer heights that automatically change based on the features of each layer?

Why? It’s a brand at this point and lets you know exactly what its about.
