AI uses so much power just to give a slop answer, VS having an actual algorithm providing useful info for a fraction of power.

Oh that’s good to know. Thanks!

Ventoy is great, it’s my go to tool, boots on basically everything (even my MacBook) but… wasn’t there a scare about possibly being compromised because it builds itself from hundreds of modules on github or something like that?

I was really sketched out with my BLI-KVM. I had a server that was off, when I booted it the bios was in Chinese. Although someone did say that motherboard had a flaw that would do that, I wasn’t Sure if it was the KVM or the motherboard, but still…

Thank you, I added that to a list of printers to look at.

Yes, printers suck.

I’m sure that would fix it, but I went with buying a rollo, hopefully that just works. Thank you for your advice!

I was sure the zebra used its own proprietary stuff, that’s why I got 2 more modern no name printers hoping they would work. I was so fed up with the zebra not working after trying everything I found online.

I ended up buying a rollo printer. Thank you for your advice!

Most of The labels I print come directly from eBay. Sometimes I will have a PDF or JPG of a label to print. Those I click CTL-P and select the printer.

I did play with CUPS a ton, adding custom files, all that. Nothing worked. That’s why I bought 2 other no name label printers to see if those would work. But same issue.

I ended up buying a rollo printer, hopefully hay just works.

Thank you for your advice.

A few years ago I had a threadripper server, then I had to move. I planned it out to have a little low power NAS for traveling.

Now I live offgrid in an RV with some solar panels. My little NAS can be powered by 12V so I have it plugged into a cigarette lighter plug on my battery. It’s been working great so far, has docker so I have a bunch of stuff running on it now.

1/2 to 3/4 of my drives are from server parts deals, only had one of them give me issues and I think the issue was the SATA cable I had. I have several servers.

They are used drives, but I only paid about $100-125 each. Keep watching their site and things go in and out of stock all the time. I wait until they have a good price.

I saw a YouTube video from a professor that explains how our brains need at least 15 minutes of nothing so it can be creative. Everyone now has a smart phone that takes that away from us. AI is just next level taking that away from us. It’s destroying all our minds.

It’s ok, I clicked it for you. Here is a screen shot:

I knew when they paid off Ralph’s to be the ONLY brand in the deli department that something was off, so I stopped buying from the deli. Glad I was right about this. Sketchy company.

Just installed that yesterday lol

That’s what bugs me the most, it used to be everyone making awesome fun videos, but then Linus is now the host of EVERY video. It’s just not the same

But the sources are listed below on Wikipedia, not in lemmy.

I get no ads, and I’m not logged in for them to track me and sell my data.

I just put stickers on the selfie camera.

Use a virtual card like the ones from privacy. You can select if it’s a one time payment or a monthly payment and set limits.

It saved me many times from companies charging me way more than I agreed to. (Bought a phone and never activated it, they tried to charge me $150 the next year, but I used a virtual card!)
