You’re “locked in” because it is super versatile and accepts a ultra wide variety of devices and plug-ins that can do pretty much anything one can imagine as a tiny or big project for their home.

Or does it sound better if you “lock in” with Amazon and buy only what they produce, stay in their environment and do only things they designed you can do with the devices they sell?

Got to know a 66yo woman recently. She is not great with tech but curious and wants to try things.

So, she got herself a new laptop for work. Old one was “old” and couldn’t do things. Someone gave her a tip to install Linux on it. She did. She claims Linux Mint made her laptop work again.

Today I gave her access to my Jellyfin instance. She couldn’t run a movie off her windows laptop but Linux one worked straight away. Same Browser and all. Weird, right?

Initial cost may be high. But I have calculated that my system. Would cost me 9 euros a month at 12tb of cloud storage. Something that I can’t achieve if I pay for cloud storage to a big man.

What brings me from clouds back to earth is current hard drives prices. Fuck AI.

Fuck EFI SHELL, all my homes use punch cards

Bro. Taking this sub seriously can rot your brain. I mean, they are serious about their claims. It’s just that they are being paid by microslop to be stupid or because they are stupid.
