While I agree with you in principle, I separated mine because I use mini PCs for compute and there’s not a lot of room for storage in any of them.

Sadly, they just got bought out by a big, stupid VC firm. Only time will tell what effect that’ll have on their day-to-day operations, but it does make me nervous. Not nervous enough to switch just yet, though.


Oof, I feel you there. Mine was actually already on the deed to the house I bought for us, but wouldn’t let me marry her because Trucky McMethhead had her convinced I was abusing her, while also doing the “shoulder to cry on” bit. Seems like it’s a common playbook.
Hope you’ve found peace, whether that’s on your own or with someone who sucks less.


Ah, you got roughly the same drug-infused version I did, then. In my case, she was texting some truck driver from 1500 miles away that she had met playing WoW who convinced her that kratom and Adderall were the solutions to all of her problems. I feel for you, bro.


Yeah, I can only imagine how terrifying the inside of that lady’s mind must be. To be trapped in there 24/7 sounds like something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.


Sure have. I left it after 10 years of trying to make it work with someone who was texting her paramour while sitting next to me in bed. By the end of it, I didn’t want to talk to her, either.


“ChatGPT is the only reason my husband is not buried in the yard.”
Can’t imagine why he won’t talk to you anymore…


I’d probably use it, so that’s one person at least. Could be a fun reverse engineering project, too.


It’s definitely not self hosted. Regardless of where the server is running, you have to connect to it using jackbox.tv and I don’t know of any way to play the games without that.


I always use /docker, but I recognize that’s probably not the most “correct” place.


Oh shit, I didn’t know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn’t have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I’m curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).


Yeah I just looked at prices for LTO drives and it made me wish optical was still a thing. $3500 for an LTO8 drive alone is more than the value of my entire homelab.


The Slate seems like it’s almost there, but the range still kinda sucks. Telo looks promising too, but it has the same vaporware scent about it as the Aptera so who knows if it’ll ever happen.


You absolutely can access it from outside your network if you configure it that way.


Oh yeah, I do remember looking at those too, but iirc they were all still at a significant range disadvantage compared to the model 3. Dunno about now, though.


That’s when I bought mine, and it was either get a Model 3 with ~270 miles of range or a Nissan Leaf or a tiny BMW iQ, both with like 80.
For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.


This got me thinking that maybe I should grab an LTO drive to use for homelab backups.
I always saw them pitched by Fedora as the blessed way to run CLI applications on an immutable host.
