  • Maturing from the perspective of loving cake:

    Kid: When I grow up I will have my own money and can buy a whole cake everyday!

    Teen: When I leave the house I will be able to buy cake as much as I want!

    YA: see kid above ^^^

    Adult: Now I can finally buy as much cake as I want!

    Adult (later that day in varying degrees of pain): The cake was a beautiful lie

    And this is why you can never truly just eat as much cake as you want.



  • It is completely up to your local market and needs, ie for how much you can sell it, what you can buy etc…

    The only tips I can give you:

    • Do you REALLY need all of the compute power? Most people don’t and you would wast a ton on electricity. This point on it’s own is enough to push most to a mini pc. (Immich can run on basically any mini pc)
    • is there absolutely no other place for the server where the noise wouldn’t be an issue?
    • look into sound proofing, you could house it in a box lined with acoustic foam with a the airway taking multiple 90° turns to keep airflow while reducing noise.

    P.S:

    I personally went on an in-between, I have a large tower pc, basically a server but with hardware meant for mostly silent work, so it rarely get’s noisier than background.








  • Phone manufacturers don’t release drivers, leaving phones in a state of either it works with generic drivers (almost never works 100%) or someone needs to make a custom driver (a lot of work) so we end up in a situation where every new phone would need a full team working on it for weeks/months just to make Linux support it, so it rarely happens. and when it does, by the time you reach full functionality, the phone is already outdated.

    With computers this doesn’t happen as they are essentially modular (being built from mostly a combination of off the shelf parts) where each part already has a driver (often even contributed by tge manufacturer) while phones are almot completely custom, with each model having custom parts that are often completely unique to it.



  • Two party system is terrible and both options are ridiculously bad, but you are crazy if you think that they are the same.

    Should we break the system and make a new one? Yes. Will you do anything like that? For 99% of people the answer is no.

    So if you are doing nothing to change the system, at the very least you should do what you can within the system (ie voting)

    Anyone who says “both sides are terrible so why bother” but does nothing except online bitching, is just letting the people who are voting decide the future for them. If you are doing nothing to fight the system, at the very least use your rights within the system to choose the least awful option.
