I faced pretty much the exact same choice, except I was given four of them, each with 8 GB of RAM.

Unfortunately they were two different hardware revisions, so the most I could achieve was two servers with 16 GB each.

They sound like a Jet taking off when powered up and the BIOS doesn’t support lower fan speeds.

Instead after months of deliberation I decided to go with a SFF Lenovo, 32 GB, 2 x 1 TB NVME, Ryzen 7, and bought this:

It’s whisper quiet and running Proxmox.

To get VM video passthrough to work I installed an extra video card, though, you could install a desktop on the host OS instead if you prefer.

The video card I used to fit inside is this:

Here’s what fuel costs in Western Australia, changes daily, next day prices are published at 06:30 UTC (14:30 local time).

Not sure what you mean. When I click the link on my post, it goes to where I intended. Note that I removed an errant period at the end of the URL about an hour ago.

Edit: Well this is getting weird. I tested it three times, now it goes to a redirect page that does require the period.

Edit: I think I nailed it third time around.

Thank you, fixed.

I think that it’s going to take societal change to stop this from being the norm. In Australia there was a road safety campaign with the slogan:

“Speeding. No one thinks big of you.”

It essentially compared speeding with having a small penis, by using the metaphor of a wiggling pinkie, and thus embarrassing perpetrators.

In other words, it needs to become uncool to drive such a massive vehicle. Perhaps “The bigger the trick, the smaller the …”

Edit: Removed stray period.

Edit: Added non stray period back and changed how I entered the URL. Fingers crossed this works. Remind me again why I work in IT.

I’m sure I’m not alone in asking:

1. How do you set a SIM PIN on a modern smartphone?
2. Can it be more than four digits?
3. What’s to stop it being brute forced?

A very tiny rocket, or a massive frog?

Pandoc will convert markdown to a PDF in portrait or landscape and there’s even “beamer” support, aka data projector or presentation support.

If you’re controlling your own web server, the logs will give you plenty of data for analytical purposes without needing to be adding trackers.

Why run Docker Desktop when it’s installable as a cli service?

What are you actually trying to achieve?

While they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?

I understand your concerns and I have as little confidence in the concept of crypto as it currently exists as you’re expressing.

I had no intention to peg a user’s CPU, but if we extend the concept of CPU cycles for content, perhaps a browser could process some data or make calculations, like say data analytics, or some other distributed process that would benefit the author and in doing so would allow both to have a win-win experience.

Can you elaborate why you think that your comment requires a sarcasm tag?

I’m asking because getting the reader to contribute some CPU cycles whilst they read your content seems to be a way to balance the books, they get something from you, you get something from them.

Note that I’m not a fan of Bitcoin et. al., but the idea of making the reader’s computer calculate something or process something on the authors’ behalf seems, at least at first glance, a valid and potentially unobtrusive transaction.

I have some success by using the “Hide Read Posts”, but it’s pretty flakey.

Noted on both, though I wasn’t aware that I was asking for ICT support, rather I was attempting to discover if the problem I was seeing was unique to me or experienced by others, which turns out to be the case.

I’d rather not delete this thread, but if the mods feel that it’s in breach of the rules, I’ll abide by their ruling.

It works as it’s currently implemented.

That said, I’d like it to comply with my preference for Dark Mode without me having to install a browser extension to forcefully recolour the interface.

Not really. Sometimes I even get to the end of the feed :)

When I relaunched 20 minutes ago, it took about three screen fulls to find some already seen posts, then a whole lot of new, then more old ones from nine or so hours ago when I checked at lunchtime.

I understand. That’s not what I’m seeing, it’s the same (sequence) of posts.
