Thank you. It sounds spectacular and well thought out. You must work with a great team.

“Secret Bot” sounds great!

Custom in-house or off the shelf?

So many passwords will be in there. And cat photos.

Also Reminder: the President doesn’t set the budget or spending priorities.

“Easier” and “simpler” are in the eye of the beholder.

A different way to approach it is to limit the failure domains. If this breaks how sad are you?

I would separate storage from the rest. Networking stuff together may be fine. Home assistant depends on how dependent on it your household is.

The only people I have known with certs didn’t have educations. Generally, the fewer degrees, the more certs. There are exceptions.

If you have a PhD or Masters, then certifications are unlikely worth it.

If you don’t have a Bachelors, then certs are critical. Many jobs will just reject you.

A Bachelors is where certs seem to do the most good.

All of this in my part of the USA (Midwest and West) and speciality (HPC). I have been involved in hiring in several organizations.

I have not had an issue mixing and matching drives in a hardware or software RAID. Just needs to be at least as big as the previous.

I have had issues with non-vendor drives in Dell and/or HP systems.

(I am a pro, but not your pro.)

Sometimes having the problem removed is worth a lot.

Sometimes the time waiting for the professional is not worth it.

If it can be done for less than $200, I pay and move on.

I haved fixed several appliances which stayed working for years after.

It is a natural study. Just compare rates to those of nearby towns. Possibility very fast to do.

The President can have the board killed. Might focus the minds of the next board. /s

Congratulations!!

Those times are so great!

Congratulations!!!

A working fridge is a great thing!

Gotta buy land first. Like 10 acers if you want to grow most of your own food.

Volunteer to help get good local politicians elected.

Help a local charity.

The impact will be indirect, but inpactful.

Yes! It is great.

Any more I reencode for local streaming to my TV.

Yeah…

Are there any of the rules being weakened that are pro-company/anti-consumer/anti-worker? Not all government rules help people.

Like did OCSH decide I cannot sue my employer, but now I can type shit? I figure the only want to fix this is to hurt Harlan Crow with it.

The Linux community has never been of one mind on anything. We have always been against, and for, everything.

Some distro or project will integrate AI, or not, and it will be forked. And then forked again.

Many AI models are run on Linux. Linux won’t be left behind in any real sense. Linux won’t lose market share over this.

Linux developers paid by AI firms will integrate it into products. Those that volunteer will make their own decisions.

Competition, in theory, should combat this. It does, but it should.

Cars do have failure modes other than rust, like crashes. Having not yet read the article, I expect crashes still destroy cars.

Edit: having read the article, it was not a dense technical work and was disappointing on specifics.
