if I can ever manage to pry myself away from tumblr, I'll be 100% free of social media with ads

The X570D4U-2L2T comes really close to this (but still not exactly) at a cool $400...

Need to find the cheapest possible AM4 motherboard that has:

which can all be active at the same time

Which, uh, the platform is technically capable of but that feels like a stretch to actually find.

  1. Data center jobs are not abundant, or even particularly great! This place will have maybe 100 permanent employees. Millions of tax dollars to put a 0.3% dent in the number of unemployed in town. These jobs might pay a living wage, but not a generous one, and it's still physical labor shift work, mostly.

Setting aside my disdain for "the hyperscalers" and our current AI boom, seeing people go nuts for this drives me wild!

Recently, a company announced a new large data center in town, and SO MANY PEOPLE are just raring for this to go, from local politicians, to average reddit commenters. Let's get this company a TIF district!

  1. This company's model seems to be to build a data center in a cheap place with real estate investment funds, and then try to market it to Google/MS/Oracle etc. And they haven't done this yet. Every project on their site is "in planning." It feels like a grift

ENORMOUS anti-recommendation for the Official Raspberry Pi M.2 Hat:

It doesn't fit in the official case, it blocks airflow to the active cooler fan, and the screws/standoffs it comes with are made of PLASTIC

Okay, serious question: In TYOOL 2025, what are the reasonable tools and platforms available for publishing a blogpost?

And along with that: Where does one draw the line wrt reasonable self-promotion?

Like, if I write a technical blog, I wanna post that where potentially-interested folks can find it, but I don't want to maintain a reddit/hackernews/etc account. But it somehow feels like not-enough to just,,, post it to fedi.

(Nevermind lots of questions about search engine visibility)

This seems like a GREAT way to get anyone involved in movement work to trust all their passwords to organizations and software that will immediately give them up to the police when asked.

Great technology to be rolling out right now, you know?

Like, no offense, but I am much more likely to momentarily leave my browser or phone in an unlocked state than my password manager.

Nevermind that I absolutely don't trust Google or Mozilla with the security of all my passwords. Hell, I barely trust my self-hosted and locked-down Vaultwarden setup.

NeverMIND how this might affect non-technical people.

Okay, I think I finally understand passkeys enough to have an informed opinion on disliking them. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong about this:
