“Anarchism wouldn't work because there will always be people to ruin it for others.”
  • Very good and complete answer as usually, that said this is one of my main problems with left ideologies that think hierarchies are necessary even for a limited time, the people in power like to stay it power. As the saying goes:

    Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    I have strong doubts that the people in charge will just give up power once it comes to that, and sadly most experiments with communism/socialism (in Eurasian at least) lead exactly to that.

  • What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?
  • Had this link in my clipboard for a different comment but it fits here as well: https://hackaday.com/2025/04/09/self-hosting-a-cluster-on-old-phones/

    In all honesty this may be a bit advanced depending on your experience and more importantly nerves, but any old PC/laptop can be turned into a server.

    As for parameters I would suggest you go to the apps you plan on running and check their minimum requirements.

  • Divesting from S&P500

    Hello all,

    From the beginning of my investment history about 3y ago I have heard that the S&P500 is one of the best ETFs that you can invest it.

    In light of recent events I think this is becoming less and less the case. Do you think that is still the case? And if no what are you investing in?

    YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick
  • The most annoying thing for me with Teflon was that in two years or so it is no longer nonstick, so your pans have essentially an expiration date.

    Not to mention that it will be scratched and danger to you and all around you long before that.

    I preach the gospel of our lord and savior stainless steel pans!

    The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense lette...
