Just like the rapist, Brock "The Rapist" Turner?

Judging by how the crowd reacted to Hegseth after giving his "big speech" a few weeks ago, I'd say there is still hope.

I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.

Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.

Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).

Well, I mean, are they not?

The real problem is the people in charge taking a common abbreviation of an arguably positive ideology, twisting that abbreviation into a "scary" name, calling it a violent group, packaging it all up with a neat little bow, and then parroting it to the brainwashed masses.

Techbros rediscovering old principles, a tale as old as....well, since the tech industry.

It's an indictment, not a conviction. This will be thrown out the second it reaches a judge's desk.

Remember: a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich.

But now, a group of people identifying themselves as “non-African-American voters” have sued to get those racially proportionate maps thrown out,

The delicious irony here is those same people are the first ones to scream "stop making everything about race".

He doesn't care. He got his, fuck everyone else.

"Anonymous" is not an organized group. It can be literally anyone.

Daniel resigned as the head developer a few years ago.

The incident in question happened before that. Also, he's still listed as a Graphene OS Foundation director, which means he still has a lot of pull.

I always see these comments conveniently leave that out.

You should probably brush up on your research instead of simping.

This was posted 2 days ago. Of course things have changed.

 

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.

7 months later update:

I've expanded HA quite a bit and have a decent grasp on where my electricity is being used. Suspending my desktop has saved a shitload of power: under Linux, when suspended, it draws ~10W of power at any given time vs ~100W when idle. Also, I put smart plugs on the server cluster; the total usage of the entire cluster - 4 mini PCs, 1 SFF, and 5x HDDs (NAS) - over the last 7 months so far is currently at a whopping 465 kWh. That's ~66 kWh a month. Barely 5% of my monthly electrical usage.
