Enthusiast in this contest more or less means you are excited enough about something to get a level above what normal people should get and just below professional pricing. An enthusiast camera body can be 2000 euros.
I would say an enthusiast computer is 2-4k.
It really depends what you meant with minimum salary (yearly?) because paying 3 months of salary for a computer like that isn't far fetched. You're not using this to generate recipes for cookies. An enthusiast level car is expensive as well.
Apart from cities with crazy density, you underestimate how much solar we could put in the city outskirts, and it would be fine. We have already the power lines anyway to bring electricity from power plants that are far from those apartments you mention.
- 100% guarantee that the data I care about will still be there.
- Costs. Scaling to a few TB is already quite expensive. Some stuff i still back to the cloud, but only the most important of data (pictures of my son)
## Use Case
- Storage
- VMs/Docker/Apps: Home Assistant, Photos app (Immich, Synology Photos, etc.), and some other small stuff like that
## Performance
Running a few VMs/Docker image requires some power, but not a lot. I like that I can choose how much.
## Storage
I had for a long time a 2-bay NAS and upgraded the drives. I just built a DYI NAS and I got a Massive ATX case which supports 11-bay. Why? Because buying a drive is cheaper than replacing drives. Having an ATX case I can still run it with 2 bays, and I still have a computer case If i change my mind.
Ideal storage is a mix of HDD (WD RED, so optimized to run 24/7), SSD and NVME. Each of them is useful for something (HDD for longer term storage, as they are cheaper per gb), SSD and NVME for apps usage and caches
## OS
I was using Synology DSM, and now I went for Unraid. I'm curious to see where HexOS goes in the next few years.
but that's the proposed change, that their Plus lineup which is generally targeted for SMB/SOHO/enthusiast market, will be working only with their drives
Do you really think that being remote is "staying home with the kids"? You're physically in the same building as them, but either you're not really working, or your kids don't actually need an adult to be there because they are grown up anyway, so no childcare is needed because they go to school.
A honest question here from outside of the Swift world: why does it matter?
I'm a Clojure developer, have been exclusively one for the last 10 years and have no intention of changing anytime soon (in other words, I don't care/follow closely what the majority of development world is and what the trends are).
A few years ago we had "Open Source is Not About You" [1] by Rich Hickey, basically pushing back that the creator(s) of Open Source don't owe anything back to the community. That piece has aged well for me: now I understand that something is what it is, not what I wish it was. And more importantly, the goal of open source isn't to be liked or used by everybody. It's a thing put out by its creator for others to use, and that includes Apple.
So really, why does the governance matter so much? If you don't agree with something, why not fork it and make it like you want it?
yes, any time you're burning wood you're climate unfriendly. But a lot of other things are climate unfriendly: where do you live what's the energy source breakdown? It's all renewable? Your computer was manufactured and furnaces were involved at some point: what about their emission? It's CO2 all the way down.
You should look at all of this relatively: from an absolute standpoint, humanity isn't good for the planet
That story is a nothing burger. CO rebreathing is the technique to monitor hemoglobin mass changes after a period at altitude. It's a test that lasts 3 minutes and has no consequence.
It's like saying "cyclist get better by drawing blood" when they just have their bloodwork done to see how they are doing with training.
spaceX celebrating when their rocket blows up after a certain milestone it's like us devs celebrating when our branch with that new big feature only fails a few tests. Did it pass no? Are you satisfied as first try? Probably
But...they are a company, their goal isn't to make breakthroughs. Their goal is (eventually?) to make a profit. They'll simply use the technology and breakthroughs that allow them to get there faster. That's not cheating.. that's business
That post has sit on my browser bar for.. well over a decade at this point. I've read it once, found it neat and put it there. Never really looked at it again, but i see the favicon every day since years and years. At this point it's part of the furniture. Anyhow, funny how stuff becomes "home" for sometimes the most random reason...
