I was a rebel and went with the Pro Audio 16

Plug and pray

Conservatives love to say free market works, shop for best price, blah blah… When you are having a heart attack, you don’t stop 911 from sending help until you shop around for the best ambulance service… You take the closest one, go to the closest hospital, and get service from the doctor on call.

Fuck insurance, we should have Medicare for all by now.

Raise property taxes 500% for property that is not registered as the owners primary residence.

That should do it

Bash, zshell, BusyBox…you don’t really need anything else

I have a rack in my garage.

My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

I run Minecraft server

I run home automation server

I run a media server.

Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple

Seeing the windows 3.1 interface took me back to a much happier time.

At this point, I’m still looking at working till the day I die.

Property hoarding could be solved by quadrupling propert taxes on any home that isn’t a primary residence of the property owner.

Government says there’s no more draft… Just a registry for boys who could be drafted…not that it’s gonna happen.

So rest assured, there’s no more draft, until Congress implements a new draft

Ooooo. Can’t wait till a hurricane is coming and they raise the price of water and canned food.

I wonder how much price gouging will be permitted. If they can raise the price of water when it’s hot then could they raise it “just enough” to not get in trouble with the state when a hurricane is coming

Hell. Gen X also are worried about retirement.

Will social security be here in 15 years? My 401k has not kept up at all… Everything today costs soooooooo much there’s no real room for saving.

They make you buy the machine… The data is collected for doctor review, but instead of letting me use the open FOSS reporting, it’s encrypted so that I can’t see my own data.

After that experience I’m certain sleep apnea machines are a huge insurance racket. 45 dollars for a replacement plastic tube…lol

For example, my sleep apnea machine had a wifi for home and a LTE modem. Data gathered by the machine was sent off-site…no reports available on the host. Privacy policy read it would gather info, run diagnostics on itself and the local network without explanation of what it was doing.

My sleep data could not be viewed by me, only through the 3rd party, so I ripped out the wifi board and LTE chip. I haul the machine into my doctor office so he can cycle through data on the tiny display.

He hates it, but I remind him he picked the machine without asking me if I agreed to to the data collection.

So many devices come with those now… I open up my products and remove the card, the antenna, or the whole board if possible.

He’s as disappointed in the witcher as the rest of us

Iirc, either the Colbert report or John Oliver did a story on Sinclair owned stations and how anchors were forced to read prepared stories that were obviously right leaning propaganda.

Headbanger’s ball was the best. And many of the MTV unplugged concerts are now classics

Oh ya, I remember that. Luckily all issues are gone. Wifi is stable

I’m sure MAGA water will be at $7 per bottle
