After seeing some of Craft Computing’s videos on YT I’m considering getting my hands on one of those cheap Erying mainboards off Aliexpress with a laptop CPU on it. Seen those as low as 140 bucks with a 13th-gen i5, just add a cooler and desktop DDR4.

TL;DR: Asus pulls the same crap with warranties today that they pulled 22+ years ago. They should be avoided at all costs.

Absolutely, and it’s usually up to the organization disposing of the drives to set and document the standard by which they abide.

Somewhere, an ISO27001 auditor’s jimmies started rustling.

Pi-Hole’s great. Got my primary instance on a Pi 4 and three secondaries (one per vlan) on LXCs. Works so well it feels weird seeing ads when I’m not at home, I’m actually considering using Tailscale to route all my queries through my home connection.

Debian’s great for this.

I’m also running NextCloud (the official AIO Docker image) on Debian. Great for that too.

Historically I’ve tried to buy replacement batteries directly from Lenovo whenever possible, as I tend to think of the device’s manufacturer as the most reliable source of its batteries. However, I’ve used encompass.com for replacements on numerous occasions, and have found them to be equally reliable (though they have been slow on occasion).

Doesn’t matter what their brand of the month is, Comcast is awful. Yeah their service is the fastest (on paper) in my neighborhood, but after the F-tier experience I had with them for several years, I settled for slower service with a different company that’s been more consistent and cheaper (and still somehow manages to have faster upload speeds than even Comcast’s 1Gbps plan). Bunch of whiny piss babies, they absolutely should be forced to comply with this rule and reveal precisely how they screw their customer base.
