The headline is click bait imo but the article makes a somewhat valid point about the larger use of animal products in everything. The article lists paper money in the UK as an example so a vegan is essentially unable to use paper money without conflicting with their ideals.

I would say the point of articles like this is a reasonable way to bring awareness of how ubiquitous animal products are in everyday items.

I think it’s a valid topic with a headline written by marketing (and their 696 “partners”) and an article written by someone with a point to make.

Curiosity got the better of me and I did try to video link in the article but it’s dead.

Edit: found it, nothing to see, potato quality and for all I know it could be literally anyone.

Same!!! We stayed up all night playing this game non-stop over the summer in Sega. We would play Mario Cart until our fingers hurt and then switch to Sega and chill for the rest of the night.

I hate it too, I need it and hate it. But it is the standard and honestly if we all switched to whatever else, we would hate that too. The mechanism isn’t the problem, imo, it’s the requirement of maintenance and monitoring.

Mildly related by the topic. I’m playing ghost recon breakpoint and a bunch of the main characters are hiding in a huge cave. My character said something like “do you have a computer?” And the NPC replied, “I live in a cave, I’m not a cave man” .

I use simplelogin but mostly I still use an email that provides aliases. I break things up into five or six main groups. Content like games and streaming, shopping, social media, and a few others. This works as a general grouping for bookmarks, passwords, note taking, and emails.

I felt using a simplelogin alias for every site was out of control. For me personally I just need it a bit simpler.

I’ve been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

Agreed. I’m just glad no one is filming me when I’m working on things. It’s not that I can’t figure things out but it takes some trial and error.

I watch the channel with that in mind, he’s me in a sense … Trying to reforest 300 something acres. He seems like a smart guy though and making progress. It’s all cumulative work so it’ll pick up I’m sure after a year of growth.

I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.

I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.

I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.

I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.

I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they “called” it.
