Eh it’s a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don’t have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it’d be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I’ve been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom’s, but money’s tight right now.

DVDs also go shitty after a while (many years, but still).

Looks at my 60tb media archive

There’s got to be a cheaper way.

But can you really jam it?

I sold student loan forgiveness for about 2 weeks in my early 20s (circa 2010ish), the first of which was “training”. When I actually looked at the terms of the program and the associated interest rates, I told my buddy that got me in that he was a scumbag and walked right out.

Of all the crap that comes out of the dipshit-in-chief’s mouth, the one thing I really wish he would’ve followed through on was deporting Elmo.

I’m about to see Dead & Company in August, though I highly doubt that’s what you meant by current.

I have no clue what the kids are listening to these days. Now get off my lawn.

That said, Goose is excellent if jam bands are your jam.

If anything they lean in and double down.

Groceries don’t really get more expensive, because the methods for producing food don’t really get less efficient over time; if anything, it’s more efficient. So there’s no real reason for them to become more expensive.

While I’m with you on the economic theory, the past 5 years proved that theory out the window. Yes, there were shortages and logistical issues that caused price spikes, but many grocery items never came back down, or have been held at artificially higher prices since. S&D postulates that when there are a higher number of units on the market, prices will drop. But when you have the corporate consolidation that we’ve seen in America where there are fewer producers (especially in name brand goods, aka one producer) as well as fewer retailers, the models don’t work as they would if we were in a pure free market where producers and retailers can enter the market at any time. As such, those fewer producers and retailers can hold prices artificially higher as their businesses are scaled out (nevermind that the likes of Kroger, the largest grocer in the country, has posted record profits in recent years, as have many entities that make up the core components of the CPI), and they can leverage market position to make entering the market untenable for an upstart.

And the problem with handouts is that they come from the govt, where the treasury prints money, thereby reducing the value of the existing money supply and increasing costs on goods as suppliers and retailers raise prices because of the increased money supply, aka modern inflation.

Keen observation

They’re just hoping Elysium becomes a thing sooner than later.

At this point I’m fairly confident that they could find irrevocable proof that the 2024 election was a sham, and nothing would come of it.

No, but it can checks notes impress other rich people.

Antisemitism is hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group.

Zionism, Jewish nationalist movement with the goal of the creation and support of a Jewish national state in Palestine, the ancient homeland of the Jews (Hebrew: Eretz Yisraʾel, “the Land of Israel”)., where antizionism is the opposition to Israeli nationalism.

Everyone keeps conflating these two, and it’s quite annoying. And I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: OPPOSING ISRAEL’S INDISCRIMINATE GENOCIDE IS NOT ANTISEMITISM. It is in no reference to Jews, either as a religion or a race, it is towards the Israeli government and their nationalistic followers that allow for the slaughter of men, women, and children.

I’m pretty sure they’re just going after advertising on the front and data sales/AI on the back end. It’s inherently difficult to monetize an old-school internet forum, especially one like Reddit where the incumbent user base is vehemently opposed to adverts and in strong favor of privacy. I don’t think they’re too big to fail (cough Digg), they’re just popular and people dislike change. But I do think they’re barking up the wrong tree with their userbase.

The current account I have dates to 2015 before they required email, and they’ll get a throwaway before I give them one of my real ones. But even then, whatever, I’ve really only gone back there maybe once a week for the past few years.

I certainly concur.

Yup, I have my Unifi gear for the automated allocation like you said, though I think pretty much every SOHO manufacturer does this to some degree these days.

To piggyback of what neidu3 said, I think your issue is a wonky application of consumer hardware.

You can utilize your existing cable runs, but I would: -grab gigabit 4-8 port switch (a cheap Netgear 5p would work) -grab 2 access points (I’m a fan of Uniquiti, the nanos can be fairly inexpensive, especially older ones, these work as well). Make sure they include POE injectors (ubiquitis do)

Install the switch where you have AP1 and mainline that to your router (red wire), run an AP and the blue line to AP2 off the switch. Connect the POE injectors inline from the switch to the 2 APs. Bonus points if you want to add a 3rd AP at the main router (disable wifi on your router).

Uniquitis are pretty rad in that they’ll automatically select the best channel and power level to operate on give the density within your house as well as minimize interference from neighbors operating on the same wifi channels, and they’re self managing to a certain extent.

The biggest point is that you want to avoid chaining through devices as much as possible to minimize latency and throughput. Switches are especially designed for this application, while chaining through devices will absolutely impact performance. The ideal topography is wheel-and-spoke, where every device has a minimal hop path back to the router (router -> [optional switch] -> dedicated line to each AP/device). While you can rig an old router to act as an AP, especially with open firmware like openwrt, it’s still kind of a hacky way of going about it.

Edit: for reference, here’s my topography:

Granted this is quite a few years of collecting hardware when I spot deals or get old devices from friends (Though I’m not sure why my proxmox and pinhole are showing off the router, they’re connected to the switch).

You’d likely get scooped up for reeducation within 12 hours of posting it.
