Same, I just checked and for over a year they have been sending mails saying that my account has been deactivated and is at risk of deletion. It included a link to delete my account, but then I had to log in, so I figured “alright, I’ll just ride it out and have them delete it” but it just kept going for ages. Last one I received was in August 2024, so it seems like it stopped now but holy shit were they annoying.

Edit: checked my spam folder and they’re still sending this crap. I had forgotten I have it categorized as junk now.

Same for me. Started watching youtube videos in firefox with ublock origin, works perfectly fine.

On a side note, Smart Youtube for Android tv still works perfectly fine.

I was hoping that series or movie would ever materialize, but it always was a very long shot.

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

I have never experienced this. Where do you have ads at gas stations?

It’s actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

I was in the market for something low budget with two nics for a local firewall. Since this gave me a nice discount on top, I ordered a zimaboard now as it’s pretty much exactly what I need. Thanks for the tip

I just use an HP Microserver gen 8 with upgraded cpu and ram. But yea, just a relatively cheap computer is all 98% of the people really need, as long as you can configure enough disks. NAS’es are way overpriced with shitty hardware.

Microsoft needs to get its shit together because reboots were a huge point of contention when I was setting up automated patching at my company.

It’s a cool concept and could be useful for amateur pilots. If you can just drive it home every time you get back, you will save on storage costs, I suppose.

But it’s mainly a hobby project anyway, so why the hell not.

This is way too accurate. With a buddy I even have what our wifes call playdates, where we are messing around with proxmox, containers and linux distros. We both have some old poweredge servers, laptops, raspberry pies and old phones to mess around with. Nothing useful has come out of that so far, although we’re preparing a lemmy and mastodon instance, so we’re getting there.

But notably no red flags, so I declare this legit!

That garfield picture?
