For decades Republicans wanted to ‘starve the beast’, and they are now close to actually succeeding. It’ll be interesting once the dimmed bulbs in the red stats discover that their life style was basically possible by government policies transferring wealth from the blue coastal states to their backward ass states.
It’s an unpopular opinion here, but I agree with you. I’ve been running a single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.
The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some power hungty Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to host some media.
Mine boots up at 19:00 and shuts down at 01:00. It has a built in Torrent client that even my partner can use.
That’s not how the stockmarket works, lol.
Here’s a short short about shorting.

Good for you. These platforms are more addictive than alcohol, which is saying something.
Try to find a hobby that will occupy your mind.
Another tip: YouTube is bearable if you turn off your video history and only subscribe to channels that provide interesting, thoughtful and constructive videos.
Never, ever, ever give in to the constant whining of YouTube to turn history back on so they can give you better ‘recommendations’.
Indeed, exactly this. They are, just like the nazis did, using the small window of opportunity (where most folks still don’t realise what’s going on) to disable the basic checks and balances our modern system of governance provides.
However, as most of us in the West have such little understanding of how it would be to live under autocratic or even fascist rule, it’s just hard to grasp that we’re mere months away from precisely that happening.
I get where Grue is coming from.
Bernie is what we in Europe would call in the 1980s a social democrat. Definitely the sort of politician you’d like to have if you’re trying to keep the fabric of your society in one piece.
With hate high on the menu these days, I’m pretty sure that when given a real chance in 2015, he would have beaten Donold.
You can always expect Trump to say the quiet part out loud, the US justice system has always only really favoured the extreme rich.
Pretty sure the staggering amount of people who voted for Trump have never heard of P2025 before the election, as FoxNews pretty much never spoke about it.
Until after the election; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heritage-president-project-2025-liberals-doge-takes-ax-bureaucracy
Exactly like Thiel and the creeps around him have envisioned it.

And billionaires that are not government officials but rather unelected bullshitters hanging around el presidente.
Oh, that’s gone for good for now.
The best thing one can do on YouTube (alas, I’m a Premium subscriber I must admit), is TURNING OFF VIEWING HISTORY.
I cannot emphasise this enough, please show your parents, your children or cousins how to turn it off. It makes your viewing experience so much better.
Funny that it’s the first time I see it listed out like that. All while I have seen hundreds of memes and many videos of rallies where the soundbite was content free.
It’s probably me though.
Joe Rogan is the single reason I won’t touch anything Spotify with a 20 feet pole anymore.
Meanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…
This! Lemmy became so much comfortable by using old.lemmy.world, almost all withdrawal symptoms went away.
Economy is something else than the stockmarket. In fact, I’d say the two have absolutely nothing in common anymore. The stockmarket is a casino, with Joe Average losing everything once in a while.
