Jesus Christ, I forgot Vance was even there....

I know you can't see my face but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

His tech bubble is clearly going to keep growing so why not invest now versus buying a full size case and all these extra hard drives and then realizing in a year or two that you really wanted a rack amount to begin with so you can expand even more?

Check out MinIO. It's S3 compatible, so generally any tool which works with S3 will work with your instance. You can pair it with other FOSS applications like rclone. It's a great combo.

Probably just easier to nix the Prime subscription and just download scene releases... Most of them are h265 these days and are released same day as on Prime.

I just checked a list of "new to prime" and my tracker and they were all there. No reason to give money to Amazon.

Have you ever stepped food into China? I have. And I can tell you from personal experience they're living in the future.

They have their own fair share of problems. But the investments they're making into infrastructure are very easily going to catapult them to the head of the class here very shortly...

I'm really tired of being told how distopian China is from people who've never even been there.

The one thing I'll never recommend anyone selfhost is email. It's just plain not worth it.

You can do literally everything right and still get cucked by spam filters because you're not a recognized email provider.

If you're dealing with this much storage, it's time to upgrade to a rack. Don't deal with having to shove 10 drives into a packed full-size.

Start scouring 2nd hand auction sites and buy one used. They're pretty cheap as far as solutions go if you can grab them used. Something like this would be ideal: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM22-312/

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

Unless you start an encrypted chat, Telegram chats are not E2E.

I’m also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Host your own Matrix node, and then you don't have to worry about prying eyes. Realistically, instead of worrying about the protocol, worry about the content of the text. Use PGP to encrypt your own text and send it over clearnet. Who cares at that point.

It will be in 10 years when a majority of their country has access to it. Industrialization in China is on a different level.

In less than 25 years they will take the top spot for global economy, and likely everything else.

Median property value in DC is $705,000.

She's likely living paycheck to paycheck as a sitting member of Congress. I like it.
