They’re overpriced crap now. You buy at a 3x premium for the hardware, and you get the OS. That’s it.

Framework has a refurb store with deep discounts. No need to buy new.

MSI is going to be second on the list because they’ll regularly replace things out of warranty if they have spare parts lying around, or sell you entire main boards at a steep discount if a laptop board goes bad out of warranty. Same with all other parts.

Framework is the only correct answer here.

I would steer clear of just getting something from Kickstarter. Just go for something solid with an existing community. Synology is good for beginners, or you could just build one and install the NAS OS of your choice like TrueNAS or OMV.

Lots of claims in here, but no specificity. I can tell WHAT they are selling: the hardware, or a software platform.

I’m also confused because they seem to missing the mark of what a useful piece of tech is for home users. Having everything all-in-one just compounds single points of failure. Also super confusing why they’re mentioning LTE and Starlink into this…makes it seem pretty stupid.

Honestly, if you’re just getting started, grab a cheap refurb from the Minisforum store, get a stack started and figure out what you actually, then make more informed decisions from there.

If you’re planning on hosting a large media collection, you probably want a NAS, which can also double duty for the other things you want to do as well in most cases if it supports running containers.

getfucked.ai is super cool…I heard. All the best people are saying it.

Bit of a stretch the way this is angled…

This will be another massive fucking failure in the AI space.

Instead of making these dumbass and inefficient stacks they’ve all built this crap on MORE efficient, they’re like “Space is cold…sounds good.”

This planet is doomed.

These MFers are in SO MUCH TROUBLE it is absolutely insane. There is no way out of this by way of revenue, and this shit should be ILLEGAL. Idiots and morons have taken over the government, and are going to collapse the stock market because OpenAI can’t fucking stop making promises.

When we kick Trump out, these assholes should be put in jail.

Jensen… c’mon, bud. Take those old orange balls out of your fucking mouth.

Probably shouldn’t have fired all those tech specialists that worked there then, huh?

Resistant, but not guaranteed. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to encryption.

This is a great talk, but it’s ignoring the real issue in that it would need to be “in-line”, which is not anywhere near possible. They sort of address that, but are talking about the cyphers themselves mostly.

I think we’ve reached the cusp where we can exchange new derivative keys on the fly per request without making too much of a dent in speed, but that comes with all kinds of tradeoffs on session length and convenience I suppose.

Edit: I guess there is another eventuality where governments just go and farm public keys and use them against targeted traffic. Not a good way to beat that right now.

You seem to think the entire world is connected by fiber now. Not the case. 98% of long distance cable runs across the world are still air run copper. That won’t immediately impact high dollar facilities like datacenters or undersea cables that are interconnected, but everything else it will take a hit.

The only thing that could take the entirety of the Internet for a bit of time is a massive EMF event that damages enough infrastructure to disable point-to-point communication between nodes. This means something like a Coronal Mass Ejection so large it cooks all satellites on its way in (on one side of orbit at least), then toasts a lot of other protected hardware on the ground.

The P2P nature of the internet would be hard to kill in totality with one event in any sense of the word. At the the very least, it would quick to get local infrastructure up within hours, assuming the entire DNS system isn’t destroyed.

That’s not a NAS, that’s a full-on PC.

What you want for a NAS is a low power CPU, minimal memory, and hot swap capability.

If you’re looking more an application server, then that’s a different story. In either case, you probably want the lowest end non-APU chip.

You are not reading or understanding comments, child. That’s not what I said whatsoever.

You’re of the opinion that DevOps engineers can be automated away. I proved you wrong. Now you’re talking about the tooling, which is in my first comment to you. Automated tooling is NOT all DevOps is, and the fact you think shows me you’re unseasoned in whatever it is you do, have no concept of the role.

It would be people like you who would not pass the first round of interviews from answering a question about this topic exactly as you’ve stated, because you don’t understand the core function of the team, and you’re role in it.

You make some code, and obviously have no idea how to run it, let alone at scale. All the working pieces of a platform at large need to be understood and vetted by a DevOps team in order to make it run, and run well. That’s understanding everything from start to finish, in ways you wouldn’t be able to comprehend being one part of team that is building one part of a platform. You can’t make an agent that understands all the underpinnings of all the services or metrics, and why they fail, that then takes action on them, because it’s not something AI does. Case in point, the AWS outage and others I mentioned.

Now, you could make MANY agents that take actions on many things, but that doesn’t give situational awareness or comprehension to any singular agent, something AI also doesn’t do. That’s what DevOps teams do.

I don’t even need to keep arguing with you about this, because the down votes on your comments speak for themselves. I’m just trying to educate on your false understanding about how it all works so you don’t stumble through your career making the same comments and mistakes.

Smart. Kids are really hyping physical media again, akin to when 80’s kids brought vinyl back in the 2000’s.

Been running Ops teams for decades, kid. Look at alllll the people agreeing with me, and disagreeing with you. You have the unearned wisdom of a struggling Junior Dev. If you had any experience, you’d know how embarrassing it would be to attempt to brag about working for “multi-billion dollar companies” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, those big, big companies are where ALL the good engineering jobs are at. Where all the interesting work is being done 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My GAWD, child. W O W 🤦

Again, refer to my first comment because you’re out of your league here 🤣🤦
