This is the silliest pairing lol

lol that’s pretty hilarious tbh

Really doing your best to push me away from your hardware, aren’t you, NVDA?

Yeah, for x86, AMD APU’s are the way to go for mobile, imo

Nicely done! That’s pretty awesome :)

Though I should point out that it’s also not hard to lock down a windows install a bit more if you don’t make the default account an admin one. But moving to Linux is better imo for a whole host of reasons.

Yeah, doesn’t seem like a smart play to give up your strategic chokehold on one of the most important elements of the modern global economy

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).

lol ok, but HP is still a bag of dicks

People like to hate EA because it gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment

Fuck I really gotta just pony up and get one don’t I 😂
