I worked with a mainframe team at a casino. It processed all the transactions that went along with the machines and how much everyone was gambling.

Those machines were intimidating. Black, blue lights, the fans even sounded distinct. And the terminal emulator to talk to it made it seem even more esoteric and spooky.

I was actually looking at my first all touch screen cell phone the LG Dare from like 2008 and the front screen is bigger than that one was.````

I use Heimdall. You can set it up in no time with docker compose and manage it all through the web interface after that.

Its simple but also has some neat integrations with certain apps and will give live stats for certain things. Like pihole gives you live stats on what's being blocked for instance.

Not sure I fully understand your question or goal but you might benefit from setting up NAT reflection for your public stuff so when you are inside your nat you can still access everything with your external domain name like you are on the Internet. I see some people referencing split DNS also and that goes along with nat reflection.

There is a link to how you set it all up using pfsense.

When I was in 9th grade it was netbooks with Windows 7 and they were also terrible and fated for the recycling bin before I was a junior.

In most enterprise IT your lifespan for hardware is between 5 and 7 years maybe 10 for printers and network switches.

I'm sure most schools try to stretch hardware as far as it will go but IT would have known when they bought the Chromebooks that they'd not be long for this world as cheap as they were and that's the price they would pay for paying such a low price.

I think what is sticking up the works is on an administrative level, higher ups are expecting IT departments to stretch EOL dates like they used to do with Windows machines but now they absolutely can't and Admin didn't plan to have to buy all new whether or not IT did

Anonymized telemetry doesn't hurt my feelings as long as it's opt in. Unfortunately, fedora's link to Rhel which has repeatedly kicked the community in the ribs worries me. Red hat may decide that fedora should collect by default in an update or that features will only be decided by telemetry instead of user request or developer interest.

Basically, Red Hat/IBM is my worry when it comes to this. No proof of anything at this point but I no longer have any faith in Red Hat.

Awesome to see There are a lot of PS4 exclusives that will be left behind without all this effort.

Not sure if this is what you mean but if all the plugs are on their own circuit you can just just turn them all off in your breaker box by flipping the switch on the breaker.

Most boxes I've seem have a place to put a padlock for extra security too

Let them fight.

Yeah its crazy. And according to Wendell at Level1Techs its actually a huge benefit but yeah, especially at a datacenter scale I can't see anyone buying chips with dlc. Especially with Epyc currently spanking everyone's butt right now.

Maybe instead we have an army of Datas vs an army of Nomads from TOS and they have a big robot fight like in the last Avengers movie.

Or really go off in a bizarre direction and time travel back to a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and team up with R2D2 and C3PO to help fight a team up of Darth Vader and the Borg.

I could go on...

I will gladly admit that I don't use BSD nearly as much as Linux and know far less about it but I think Apple forking and close-sourcing a version of BSD is a pretty good example of what you said doesn't happen in BSD.

With all that being said, that's what the BSD license allows for and so there's no issue with anyone doing so.

Interestingly, Apple as well as the 2 others I mentioned that ship BSD based operating systems sell hardware meant to cooperate nicely with the software that they "give away". Red Hat and other commercial Linucies? Linuxes? Linnii? often have a support or software license agreement that makes them money.
