You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh?

I would be willing to pay an initial setup fee followed by some maintenance fee. I would expect the initial fee to be significant due to a custom setup/requirements. (I am talking just setup, not cost of hardware/ physical installation).

Unique home network with 2 managed switches.

Self hosted security DVR, automated computer backup, photo backup, network drive for document storage and then self hosting a Jellyfin server along with a torrent service.

(I am sweating just thinking about trying to set that up)

Storage will be a RAID setup where I can just upgrade by throwing a new drive into an open slot and replace (as necessary) existing drives by just swapping them out and server automatically handles the data management.

I have a VAGUE idea of what that takes

Maintenance would cover service calls to resolve problems due to security updates/patches, end of life upgrades, normal planned maintenance type of stuff.

User caused issues should be extra :) (i.e. I was just trying to install a Minecraft server)

Couple hundred bucks, at least, for setup. And that seems cheap.

I would pay $10-20 a month for a maintenance fee after an initial setup fee.

I would MUCH rather give my money to an individual sysadmin than a corporate megalith that will use my membership to force an arbitration clause to any future service of theirs I use. Fuck the mouse. Fuck em all. I tried to do it right and that still want enough for them.

I would be happy if I could pay you to just set up and periodically check my setup. I only say that because I would probably want to put together something that cost more than $150. But I am absolutely overwhelmed by what I don’t know. Every tutorial I read gives me more questions than answers.

I just want to self host, share it with a close circle of friends, and keep everyone else’s noses out of my business.

Taiwan made a sarcastic comment.

Essentially calling out their policy of “Territorial Integrity”, they told them to take back land they gave to Russia

Hot take:

China has lost all faith in Russia. Is reorganizing to reflect that.

And maybe is even considering Taiwan’s advice, lol.

As far as I am aware, FCC is the only company, in Houston that does have plastics recycling capability.

It’s a neat facility but it certainly isn’t big enough to serve the whole city.

Dude is a fucking crook, of course he won’t prosecute his friends.

He’s only interested in political stunt lawsuits that have no merit.

Fuck him and his two compadres, Abbot and Patrick. If they were on a burning boat, I would wave and send thoughts and prayers.

On second thought, I would lob Ted Cruz at them (from really far away) on the off chance his hurtling body, smashing into the boat, might put the fire out.

Ooh, can I see a TV show, “based on a true story”, where a Romanian Beth Dutton just humiliates and takes land away from rich, elitist assholes, to make up this European Yellowstone?

Edit: Bonus points if they are also played by Kelly Reilly.

BIG difference between a drone and a cruise missile.

🤣

“Sophisticated Iranian cruise missiles”.

Yeah…

Anyone remember their “Stealth aircraft”?

Potential does not equal actual.

Are you that incapable of thought?

They know there was a leak and they know how much the pipeline holds but they don’t know how much actually escaped.

The same press release you are quoting says, “The volume of discharged oil is currently unknown.”

But the headline says more than a million gallons of oil leaked into the gulf.

If you don’t understand how that is sensationalism, then you have more problems than this dumbass Internet argument.

I regret engaging because holy shit, so many of you are really fucking stupid.

That’s just it, the USCG DIDN’T say the leak was a million gallons. They said it could be that much.

They know there was a leak and they know roughly how much oil the pipeline holds.

That’s it. That is all they said. The story headline said that the USCG said that much DID leak when they very specifically didn’t say that.

Where exactly did I move the goal posts? What was my bad faith argument?

Any.

Doesn’t mean I’m going to lie about the amount to get clicks.

Let me ask you a similar question.

How much of a lie does it need to be before you are willing to call it a lie?

So you don’t find it questionable that this happened a week ago yet the most they’ve found is a couple hundred gallons?

And all these sites that claim a million, in their headlines, all say lower in their stories that there is no actual measurement and that it is only potentially?

I feel it undermines the issue when people are dishonest. I consider these headlines to be dishonest.

I regret engaging that one idiot that claims dispersants were used by BP to submerge the oil so people can’t see it.

That’s the kind of disinformation and dishonesty that makes it so difficult to have real outcomes. All the noise drowns out the signal.

Nice gate keeping. Pretty sad that is the best you can do.

They do, it isn’t a million. The article is deliberate sensationalism. If you read the Coast Guard’s press releases, you will see they didn’t say a million gallons was leaked.

Says the guy commenting on all my comments.

I’m getting downvotes, so how is this for clout?

You really are a special type of dumb.

“I think it is bad enough though, without the news source twisting it for sensationalism.”

Are you stupid?
