A homeschool association… although the article said he was also worked I think past tense with a school district.

Gotta keep the auditors busy!

Which hardware is recommended? Trying to search through their list a ton of it is already on old-stable and seemingly ready to be eol-d. I’m not really interested in spending on new routers playing whack a mole with security updates every 2 years. I’d rather have poor performance and a longer lifecycle versus unknown likely marginal support window.

I use pf as the firewall on my server, what is the difference/reason for the opnsense fork?

They also list my current one as unsupported unfortunately, I think because of the Broadcom WiFi chip in it.

That was one of the things I was considering was whether running a router before the WiFi and then just using them as access points might be a better choice.

Losing weight too fast can destroy your organs, so this is a very stupid take.

Man it’s been a long time but essentially 98 was the first one to allow for plug and play without drivers if I’m remembering right. That and a few other stability issues made the original crash constantly, including during the demo at a tech show. They re-released it as a second edition that fixed most of it. If you bought the computer towards 1999 they had fixed it.

Or vista lol, or windows 98 that was so bad they essentially recalled it and re-released it as a second version?

You just described Citrix whole business model

I have fond memories of the og Xbox and the 360, guess I can’t really speak past that for enjoying them since that’s the last Xbox i owned

It was nice knowing Xbox while they lasted…

Desktops also offer better heat dissipation and peripheral replacements extending the life of the unit. It can be difficult for most folks to replace a laptop display or even battery nowadays frankly.

Realistically no. My wife primarily uses the ad blocking dns and smb file storage. I’ve built the server on FreeBSD so those should run near forever if I passed, and she knows she has until the server dies to find somewhere else to put her photos. Past that there’s a maintenance document next to the will, which includes everything up to how to replace drives on zfs, but I doubt she’d use it if I’m being honest.

Wife and I just bought them last year. Thankfully haven’t needed them but glad to have them if we do!

They also make airbag vests with built in neck protection, if anyone rides studies are showing an 89% reduction in cervical spine injuries, they are worth every penny!
