Hmm which depreciates faster?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Some of these cases are so expensive. I am wanting a Super Micro CSE-836 style case to upgrade my NAS and I have an eBay alert I set a few years ago when I couldn't quite justify spending the money. Turns out I should have because even used the prices are going up and up.

Opportunity cost

That's not mid-life, that's entire-life.

A super fast car is a toy, fast electronics are useful tools.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Sure, but from some point up enterprise-class tech stops making sense for home use.

A super fast car is a tool to make me happier. Not that I'll ever be able to afford one.

at least a home lab can do things. people who's entire social life and personality are dedicated to internal combustion bullshit are depressing. vrroooom vroom vroooooom is not a replacement for actually having a life.

I love the self identifying vrooom vrooooooom downvotes rofls. you guys need to find a better hobby.

Mid-life crisis? I'm in my mid-20s!

Me who finds really cheap eBay hardware:

Me who digs stuff out of e-waste bins in office building parking garages.

Why not both? My homelab supports car related activities.

Probably why I don't have the Porsche though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I went the route of modest homelab with some mini PCs/Pis/NAS, and a decidedly not modest sim racing rig.

I like to say that for my midlife crisis I bought all the cars. I'm very funny.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Is it really a midlife crisis when you're just buying the toys you ways wanted because you can finally afford it?

I built a ridiculous computer with RGB everything a few months back... It's dumb as hell but I always wanted one and at this point why not?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Sorta. But I think the problematic part of a midlife crisis is the irresponsible reckless behavior (say unaccounted for big expenses) that affect the people around you. If you're not doing that then pop off, have fun, life is short!!

It's not a midlife crisis!
I actually desperately need this, my current server's just not specced right for the 2 dozen VM's I still want to add.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

VM's I still

So each VM has their own iStill? That's a new $2ooo gadget from apple?

Not sure I'm parsing the apostrophe correctly. They're still not for pluralization EVER, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

when pluralizing an acronym you add an apostroph

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

makes same sound

Gento fans go brrrrr

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

I watched my father go this way and I shan’t let it happen to me! I’ve bought a motorcycle like a normal fat, middle-aged man.
