It’s indeed animal abuse imo

Well… That’s their own fault.

It depends on your use case of course. A simple website is sufficient like you said using a orange pi. Running your own LLM model at home is not sufficient. Or compiling the Linux kernel. Or 4k gaming…

Who is still using Windows at this point, lol?

yea yah just like Humane Ai Pin… I want to see it ship first. then let me know.

THIS

yea I also leverage PPAs in some cases for getting the latest binaries, yet relying on apt.

It actually has improved a lot in the past 15 years. The problem is two fault: Enshittification/price hikes and software. Software because people still use Windows, so you don’t feel the improvements. And enshittification in multiple forms like you get less for more money, Raspberry Pi is a good example of that. You are better of with other brands today like BananaPi or just a mini-PC, if you are looking for a small device with some decent specs.

Of course now we also have AI, which made it like 30x worse for every consumer, its not just GPUs or memory, its CPU, nvme storage, … basically everything… So I really hope this AI bubble burst sooner than later now.

Its a Dutch number notation.

Openwrt router is not really meant to be a switch…?

I didn’t pay? Even if I did you got the same result, 🤣

Same with Linux mint. I don’t like it. I like Linux mint a lot. I only dislike the old packages.

Apt packages used to get more updates in the past. Especially ubuntu repos. Today everything just seems to rely on Debian. Which is always lacking behind.

I don’t like it either. Especially for gaming you really want the latest improvements. Or for science workloads. Or other professionals.

Good. I’m sick of all those ddos attack and bot attacks from other cloud provides like alibaba etc.

I don’t like uploading IDs. But recently I block almost all datacenters across the world due to ddos attack or other malicious attacks on my websites. So I don’t think it’s a bad idea to keep the web better. It’s a mess today due to all those cheap cloud providers

I have 50.000 dollars of server hardware and zero visitors. 😵😜

Pretty sure it’s again some kind of cloud credits or any other way for them to earn back the money.

Tech is still cool, but subscriptions are not. That is why I like self hosting and open source so much.

Yes I know. It’s just not the latest and greatest. But that became clear after reading the full article. Initially I thought, seeing the title alone, that there was a competitor delivering a similar machine.

Yes they are… You don’t need to wonder anymore. The answer is yes.
