Yeah, I was referring to the slim version.

Dell Optiplex 5050. Cheaper, bundled, and free year warranty. Power draw is about 6w.

I have one as a k8s node and thinking about another.

MongoTheMad··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?
Suomen kieli on helpompi kuin englanti. On vaikeaa ainoa koska opiskelee kaksi kieltä samalla - kirja- ja puhekieltä.
MongoTheMad··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?
Do you have an RSS feed? I am currently trying to consume more Finnish text to aid in my language learning. I feel that your blog would aid me as I also have interests in what you blog about.

Bonus points if you can incorporate https://github.com/andrewwippler/Suomi-Tavu.

There is so much pressure to come up with one.
MongoTheMad··on Water so pure it will kill you
My dad has been in wastewater for 25 years. He has the highest grade level in California for treating wastewater. He told me that the water leaving those plants is safe to drink and sometimes even more pure than regular tap. It is just the idea of drinking the water that causes people to post this stuff.

Would I drink the stuff after it left a plant? Not on your life.

You mean, "I am alone"?

MongoTheMad··on The Fight to Protect the Joshua Tree
I have lived in California. If there is serious concern for saving the Joshua Tree, then California needs to make another sanctuary for it in a place where people do not want to live: north of Barstow. Yucca Valley is a nice place to live and should have more people (much nicer than in the deserted wastelands north of Victorville.)
MongoTheMad··on 20 Years of Gentoo
I was a user of Gentoo for two years in 2002. After the compiling completed after the initial install, I spent 15 minutes downloading and installing debian.
MongoTheMad··on I won’t spend more than $250 on a new smartphone
I Buy HMD Global (Nokia) phones. They last me 2-3 years (parts wear out), but I like how fast they feel and the new sustainability direction they are going.

The name made me think of this: https://youtu.be/KMYN4djSq7o
MongoTheMad··on Gripes with RSS after one week
Welcome to the RSS club. Many issues you have noticed are a result of social media. Sites removed RSS after they wanted to push you to Facebook/other.

You may need RSS-bridge (GitHub) as middleware.

I use Yet Another RSS Reader (yarr, also on GitHub), which has very good mobile browser support.

I self host both in my home K8s cluster behind GitHub auth.

MongoTheMad··on Ask HN: I’m Lost. Help?
Hello, second-time commenter in HN here. You posted in a way, which makes it appear that you are looking for the next mountain to climb and conquer.

While others have given good suggestions to find the next mountain, it will lead you to the same non-passion plateau. It seems that you want a permanent fix rather than a temporary distraction.

As you are seeking out advice from different parties, I feel it necessary to share my unique input. I do not view it better than what others have stated, nor will I be offended if you go a different route. However, this strategy has helped this introverted person find a passion and purpose (even in regular, public speaking). Even the mere thought of what I am about to write is astoundingly simple that I step back and think, is it really all that simple?

Presume God is true.

There are so many voices that say the opposite. Even now there are thoughts of rebuttal from future commenters. Still, when I presume God is true, that unlocks the following logic flow:

God is true. The Bible states it comes from God. If God gave the Bible, then what is contained therein will work when it speaks of human fulfilment. Human fulfilment is written about in the Bible. (Hebrews 11:6, 2 Timothy 2:4, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

MongoTheMad··on Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use in 2022?
I host yarr in my home K8s with GitHub oauth for security. Then I just access via browser.
