You said that no one...

I don't think that was the parent commenter though...

You experience the passage of time as ever increasing in speed, and before long the universe has died, leaving you


immortal and sentient


alone in the cold, dead cosmos, for eternity.

Bonus points: use non-qwerty keyboard for added obfuscation (but keep the qwerty key caps of course).

It is really powerful per watt, and has a built-in UPS. Any homelab type things you could do with that? macOS+homebrew will give you a nice *NIX feel, very familiar if you're a Linux user.

I'm a fan of having a remote homelab computer+disk for off-site storage. This would be a good candidate in that it wouldn't use excessive power at a friend/family's place, but may be overkill (I use a pi3 for that).

I'd say it gets a little different with command line utilities


maybe "utility" is the appropriate term here, but I'd call something like grep a program, not an application (again


"utility" also works).

To be sure, grep is extremely powerful, but its scope is limited.

Hah not at all! I need to remind myself to hydrate and fuel constantly if I'm doing any sort of exercise.

If you're exercising and you drink because you're thirsty, you probably waited too long to hydrate.

This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it's nice to have computers seem "fun" again.

At least, that's my perspective.

That's what I heard about Chevy's, too.

What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?

Not everyone is eligible for this, but that's kind of a different issue.
