  • He’s a libertarian who is, self admittedly, hard to work with. He’s also petty and a pedant.

    Great for right to repair and digital sovereignty, but there’s a lot more arguably real issues in the world than making sure my tech is upgradable. Like I’m pretty sure he talk about supporting RFK Jr in 24 [citation needed]'. I don’t follow him as closely since he made a 20 minute video trying to argue that AOC is wrong about there being no such thing as unskilled labor by explaining the exact point.

    I really don’t wanna know his thoughts on trans rights or the mass racist deportations.








  • What’s crazy is that, personally, I seem to know just as many “Can’t this guy take a hint” women as I know “I’m not good enough for him so I should block him” type women.

    I legitimately know two women who had that concern, blocked the guy on everything, and he either made an alt or found an obscure social to DM them on.

    Both are happily married and medicated for their anxiety now.



  • And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

    Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

    That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

    There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

    Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

    I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3
