Unless a rebate of some kind happens, you will not get the needed uptick in replacing oil furnaces. I just had this exact conversation this past weekend with my parents. Their house is built back in the 1950s and has an oil furnace. They had replaced it about 8 years ago and refused to get a heat pump due to their current system still being under warranty. Unless it is a free swap, they will never replace it unless the unit dies and is non-repairable.
Agreed. Hopefully this is done more in the future with other dying/dead malls. In my area they are converting old textile mills that have been long abandoned into apartments and the ones I’ve seen, look awesome.
I think of AI as Beanie Babies. All the rage (excitement, not anger) and will eventually (hopefully) die on the vine when full AGI never comes.
Hey cool, while you’re at it, look at the predominantly white districts too!
It will always be Twitter to me. X is a variable in a math problem… not a company name. Oh, I’m also lazy and have never used Twitter.
As annoying as it is, I reply STOP to each one and then block the number. Sometimes I get lucky and get an unsubscribe confirmation.
I hardly get spam texts because I refuse to give my number out for anything. Jenny is my go to phone number when I need to give out a burner number.
I primarily listen to podcasts when I’m driving, which isn’t much as I work from home. Once I hit my “I need music” I am reminded how extremely happy I have been with SiriusXM for two decades. Octane, for example, is all music with occasional DJ chatting about something music related.
If I load up the app, they have “only music” stations which is just a straight up list of song after song after song.
Not an ad… I genuinely love Sirius Octane! I have found so many new artists I would have never heard on FM radio.
Correct. I’m running two AD DC’s based on Samba, all running on Zentyal. Super simple to install & setup. I them run a VM in Virtualbox on my laptop for the rare occasions I need to use the Windows RSAT tools.
Other than that, all my Linux VM’s, ProxMox hosts & unRAID NAS all set to auth against the Samba DC. It has been working perfectly for over a year now.
I daily drive Debian and use Windows for work. Only have one Windows VM for playing games via Moonlight.
I use an Ansible playbook to do fresh install stuff such as app installs & joining my local Samba AD.
Another option, that I’ve never tried, would be to put your /home directory on another partition. That only solves the settings though and not your app installation bit.
I think I am going to be one of the people buying into Zen 5 but mainly for the longevity of the platform aspect. I’m in the preplanning stage of my next ProxMox server that will be my NAS (unRAID VM), local infrastructure (Samba AD, Adguard, etc.) & Gaming PC via Parsec/Moonlight or plugged directly into the PC with GPU/NVME passthrough to a VM for gaming.
Firewall is on a separate ProxMox host so if the ProxMox host needs a reboot internet will be fine.
I’ve been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn’t have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?
Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.
I’ve had zero issues without ECC, so I’m just curious about your need for it.
No time like the present to fix that void in your life.
My personal favorite is the people that say it is a hair on fire emergency but then you can never get a hold of them to fix the problem.
I love telling whiny users who claim they’ve always had “this” problem that I cannot fix what I do not know is broken. If there’s no ticket, then nothing is broken, so quit your whining.
Granola, peanut butter, chocolate chips & honey. All mixed together in a sticky mess that is tasty. Make too much? Throw it in the fridge and have a cold tasty snack the next day!
The random aches and pains you start waking up with are here to stay. Learn to embrace them.
And drink more water.
I practice this same thermal battery idea as well with an extra tip of having a couple of fans on timers (sun up to sun down) that sit on the floor and blow the cold air up. It makes a significant difference, especially if you can sit a fan where the cold air from the AC falls to the ground.
I gave it a very short search back when it broke last year. I went with the cheapest way to get it back up and running which was just convert it to a desktop. She never goes anywhere with a laptop in the first place so there was no need to make it portable again.
She’s retired and just used it to surf the web. A Chromebook would work perfectly for her if she was not dead set of having Excel for her recipes and bill tracking.
Morons. Just a bunch of morons. It was never about AMERICAN jobs, it is about CHEAP EXPLOITATIVE jobs.
