I’m a bunka kind of fella.

If you want a cheap cutting board because you can’t afford end grain, look into hinoki boards. They’re cheap and very soft wood.

As with all wooden boards, make sure you seal it first with a neutral oil such as mineral oil.

My friend has 1G/1G Internet. I have a rsync cron job backing up there 2 times a week.

It has a 8TB NVMe drive that I use bulk data backup and a 2TB os drive for VM stuff.

I’m in the unfortunate phase of my “homelab” where I have about 300TB of storage spread amongst 3 continents. Civilization will fail before I lose all of my data.

I have a hardware key, that’s probably secure enough. 128 bits of unique data.

Because it’s the biggest socialist corporation in America

I use it for alt text for photos. Mostly because I just don’t know how to describe my images.

I use adguard home in conjunction with NextDNS.

I find adguard a little better in the UI department. Have it in a docker container so it’s a set and forget.

Yeah there’s no foolproof way to do a general upgrade. Wiping is the easiest way to bypass the tpm requirement.

If you absolutely must use windows

Download the Pro ISO from windows.

Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation

Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.

Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

My home network lol

We just started the spiritfarer. Absolutely worth it

Sympathy?

Compassion?

Eskimo brothers?

Just use the mass activation script. It doesn’t cost anything

Sony already did that with the PlayStation didn’t they?

Mass Activation Script

Just use an enterprise edition and then CTT cleanup tool.

You could just RDP into the VM. That way you’re not sending additional data other than just the RFP session.

Personal Computer? Aren’t both images of a personal computer?

I’ve actually ran a server for a few weeks with a heatsink just sitting on the CPU with a dab of thermal paste.

I was waiting for mounting hardware. Thankfully it was a PGA so mounting pressure didn’t match much.
