Just a stock tux picture where somebody photoshopped (ummm… Gimped?!) an extra arm

Yeah, the extra arm is super creepy

Damn. I was looking for agrees for someone like that, now I’m stuck with a microATC board that is great but doesn’t fit in a 10" rack, why are there no 12" racks? ^^

Nice setup. I also started with a mini PC but couldn’t find a reasonable way to add drives, how are yours attached? In general I would love to find some reasonable prices DAS/JBOD options

Oh cool. Finally answered the question on where to reasonably publish my models. Now I just need to make them :)

Your username made me laugh more than the picture :)

Oh boy. I’m sorry for my ignorance. Haven’t touched Windows since win 7 came out and did not expect it do go down that much, that sounds like win95 self install.

But still, I guess it is easier more the majority, since you “just” need to follow the instructions on the screen and not think it look into alternatives, which you need to get on a viable device etc. I guess here “easier” means something else than “less complicated”. Only solution I could imagine would be if PCs would be shipped with something like a sophisticated version of netboot, or of course you can choose the os when ordering, but that only viable on smaller scale. But even than… People would not go through the list and just go with what they know. Didn’t mean to post such a wall of text… just random thoughts coming in

People usually use Windows because it comes pre installed. I doubt arch install is easier than that ;)

Whatever you want. You did ten pushups… add it to the counter, ate sweets… add it to the counter. So it doesn’t count anything automatically, it just gives you a simple interface to keep track of stuff.

I guess they can’t know in advance that they will end up being a one hit wonder

I find the rack itself never the problem. You can get them super cheap… But single (ATX) cases are completely out of proportion. Does somebody has a good idea to mount a micro ATX motherboard and a couple 2.5" drives (external PSU)?

If you are lucky your system is atomic or has other roll back feature. Otherwise it’s reinstall time.

I guess you could set up a fresh system, run a script that goes through each folder checking the permission and setting it on the target system.

Just what the doctor ordered :) I’ll definitely go through it soon. Thanks for sharing!

Or a lower priority target. Unfortunately my home was on the way to Dresden

In Germany it’s common consensus that payment is done once the work is finished and billed accordingly. Of course for prolonged projects you agree on several installments.

Just recently I learned that according to law your monthly utility payments (for flats) are still your money until you get a proper bill.

Deacon doesn’t

FOSS is free and open source software, which is free to use and it’s source code is disclosed and allowed to used to variable extend, often (definitely not always) owned by private people or non profit organizations. “Just” freeware is usually used for proprietory software, which is free to use, but undisclosed source, so nobody can look under the hood and see what it actually does.

Wow, that being a thing sounds surreal Oo
