Starting a nonsense war under the guise of "spreading democracy" just to take their oil reserves so that rednecks back home can pollute the air and warm the earth with their oversized trucks. Can it get any more American this?

Good to see physical media making something of a comeback!

(Mass dislikes time!)

Yes, the US does evil shit in the Middle East. Killing brown-skinned practitioners of the other Abrahamic religion overseas is an American tradition.

That still doesn't change the fact that China is persecuting Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

You can't shit-talk one authoritarian state and cheer on another.

Disgusting to see that the only Arab countries that the U.S. does business with are those who fund this massacre and turn their back on their fellow Arabs in Palestine.

I feel the same way but you have remember the auto industry acts as an auxiliary to the oil industry.

Why am I getting "Iraq 2003" vibes?

The Trump administration has said the U.S. is in a "non-international armed conflict" with drug cartels, arguing that the narcotics they smuggle kill tens of thousands of Americans every year, constituting an "armed attack."

Ah yes because nothing says "fighting the baddies" like blowing up another country's citizens to advance your imperialist and neo-colonialist agenda. When you're not killing brown people from the desert, you're killing brown people from the jungle.

A reminder to not buy "smart" home appliances unless you can self-host it's internet connectivity or its "smart" features are optional.

Woman does thing, UK Goverment offened.

 

I've been thinking of getting back on meds to help concentrate more since I plan to take a Comptia certs course and exam. I've been doing somethings to improve my focus without meds but I really want to get my act together and actually do something with my life. I used to take Concerta when I was in middle and high school and it did improve my focus in class. The only major downside I faced was loss of appetite. Since I've been off meds, I've heard of people taking Adderall which piqued my interest but I don't how it differs from Concerta. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

 

I've never done any sort of home networking or self-hosting of any kind but thanks to Jellyfin and Mastodon I've become interested in the idea. As I understand it, physical servers ("bare metal" correct?) are PCs intended for data storing and hosting services instead of being used as a daily driver like my desktop. From my (admittedly) limited research, dedicated servers are a bit expensive. However, it seems that you can convert an old PC and even laptop into a server (examples here and here). But should I use that or are there dedicated servers at "affordable" price points. Since is this is first experience with self-hosting, which would be a better route to take?
