dem farmers be pissed off.

pretty soon they’ll be hatin’ their white male politicians even more than those ‘urban’ folk that they just don’t understand.

the people freaking out are reading social media takes written by other people freaked out over other social media posts written by yet more others who are freaked out after not reading and fully comprehending the full policy documents…

this ‘new’ and oh so ‘generous’ thing…

comes on the heels of killing-off the totally free, previously already installed on every fucking windows pc since version one point oh, no obligation, no online account required, no cloud forced upon you, and good enough for literally millions and millions of people, wordpad.

so no, microsoft does not get a pass here. absolutely not.

that’s the hook. they are mandating having and using onedrive cloud storage, and having its requisite microsoft account, in order to use this ‘free’ application.

microsoft released a single-player game, “microsoft office”.

it runs offline, but you cannot save games locally at all. can only save games or progress to the ‘cloud’.

windows isn’t the problem. it can and will run all day, every day.

your existing box isn’t a server. it’s a desktop pc that you’re doing ‘server things’ on. you want a server, make it one:

move the retro gaming, the ‘shitposting’, the 3d design work, and the random internet use that goes with those things, off to a different pc. doesn’t even need to be that much of a pc. enough for the 3d work and emulators, and a fast lan port or wifi for accessing your ‘server’.

leave the existing one with the *rrs, the storage, the drivepool and snapraid… get everything else off. disable any oc settings you have enabled. it’s a server. then leave it alone.

it all runs on Windows 10 (which is where the issue arises)

what ‘issue’? your hardware should ‘officially’ support win11.

the only 6bay lff cage for it i found online after a quick search was over $400usd.

as others mentioned, msa30 is scsi (yuk). along those lines, you’d want the msa60 which is sas/sata, plus somewhere on the server to connect it to. probably not cheap.

but i really don’t think it’s worth putting a whole lot of time or money into a 15 year box… at least not anything that can’t be used in or with newer stuff later.

i’d probably just grab some 2-5tb 2.5in hdd for media storage and use those before i bought something specific for that old hardware.

dl380-g7 is some really old stuff. 1st gen westmere. not very power efficient for the performance. there’s no hardware encoding (qsv with encoding started with some 2nd gen).

how well it can do software encoding would depend on the cpu. but don’t expect too much, and nothing more demanding than h264 avc at reasonable settings. you’d need a newer video card with hardware encoding for hevc, av1 or anything like that.

iirc there was a 6bay 3.5in option for those, and that cage/backplane might be available somewhere.

“we knew we was a dumbfuck. but holy shit! how can that idiot even breathe being that fucking stupid.”

you can have (well, used to) eggs anytime… fried, boiled, scrambled, omelets, poached–whatever. but gram’s special deviled eggs were for ‘special occasions’ only. she always made enough, so yea. gonna eat far more eggs that way than i ever would in a normal breakfast or meal.

i had just looked this one up recently:
the little nub on a peanut is an embryo.

i see more and more mobile-only households all the time. and people with landline internet at home that has never seen a pc. only televisions, phones and tablets. an increasing number of people don’t even have that, they live off their cell phone’s internet.

personally, i’m ‘desktop only’. my phone i use only as a phone. i have no tablet, no watch, no gaming console. my laptops never leave home, they’re just ‘small desktops’. when i need one, i grab some spare junk from the office to take to a site.

posted on that other site that’s just in it for stock market manipulation, there’s a teeny tiny chance i might have written it off as a very, very bad joke.

but this was from the white house account on the x(sh)itter.

he absolutely believes that he is untouchable. this statement he posted is a challenge, a dare, for anyone and everyone to take a shot (figuratively or not) at challenging his declared ultimate authority.

it’s built in. should not be necessary to do this.

tesla may be just a capitalist-based front for stock market funny business… but its chief moron-in-charge is a terrorist nazi.

it does get marginally better once you do run out.

tbh i don’t think a single can in a day is all that much if your diet is otherwise reasonable and balanced.

do you think it’s the bubbles or the 40-some mg of caffeine that gets you grabbing one every day?

wasn’t everyone born on 1 jan 1970 at 00:00:00 utc?

if there’s no details, there probably isn’t an actual, and specific, job opening. they just want it for their files, or mailing list, or ai, and/or to spam everywhere.
