Edit2: OK Per feedback I am going to have a dedicated external NAS and a separate homeserver. The NAS will probably run TrueNAS. The homeserver will use an immutable os like fedora silverblue. I am doing a dedicated NAS because it can be good at doing one thing - serving files and making backups. Then my homeserver can be good at doing whatever I want it to do without accidentally torching my data.

I haven't found any good information on which distro to use for the NAS I am building. Sure, there are a few out there. But as far as I can tell, none are immutable and that seems to be the new thing for long term durability.

Edit: One requirement is it will run a media server with hardware transcoding. I'm not quite sure if I can containerize jellyfin and still easily hardware transcode without a more expensive processor that supports hyper-v.

You're forced to use Cloudflare. Don't they track ... everything?

I overheard a FOX broadcast last night while waiting for a pizza pickup in their lobby.

Holy crap that is awful. I remember it back in the GWB days and I don't recall it being nearly as bad as it was last night.

"Democrats don't want to understand you. They just want power." followed by cherrypicked video footage of out of context comments from some random person. "If the Democrats get in charge, they will outlaw jesus!" followed by more bad faith video footage where someone said Christianity doesn't belong in a courtroom setting.

It's like they have distilled down the essence of making your grandma scared and forcing her to vote or else her grand babies will literally get eaten alive because they weren't aborted.

Who is he? I think that is less important than it is to figure out which bbq sauce to use on him when it is his turn.

OK so wait until the inevitable hours after opening peak and buy puts?

Some really solid recommendations here. Thanks a ton. I've heard of Deep Rock Galactic but it didn't pop into mind. And Risk of Rain 2 looks great.

Roblox really is the lowest of the low.

As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He's 10, so please don't recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)

He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.

Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn't just a punishment.

Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

Neat. I don't like that the implementations have to name the function by some cryptic identifier, though. Real words matter in source code.

Who can tell me what this function is?

def Z10096(Z10096K1):
    return Z10096K1 == Z10096K1[::-1]

How about this?

def isPalimdrone(myString):
    return myString == myString[::-1]

It's the network effect. Everyone else uses it - so it is easier to just use it than to not use it.

Anyone remember the time that Toys R' Us decided to take out a gigantic loan to pay off the "management fees" of Bain Capital for the fine virtue of being managed into the fucking ground?

I do.

Yeah that girl is an orphan AND a mother. Fuck.

Fantastic talk. Unfortunately, the last question was spot on - Cory's ideas require political action.

But that political process is corrupted by the very companies we need action against.

OK now do foreign ownership of real estate. I'm getting close.
