    APC is nice in an enterprise-like setup and the management software is really mature. That said, you don't get much for your money and for a homelab, I've been happy with my Tripplite UPS which was about half the cost. I got the expansion battery as well and the whole setup cost me less than $700





  • What confused the fuck outta me as someone who has been in the crypto space since 2010 is that it wasn’t new or novel in any way. Colored Coins was virtually the same thing and it flopped in a similar fashion and there were several similar projects that did the same or never made it off the ground. Then, some shitty monkey drawings come along, are backed by virtually the same thing I had seen before and suddenly people I knew from my hometown who barely had two brain cells to rub together were claiming to be financial and tech gurus while peppering “block chain” into conversation. The one thing that brings me solace is that they all lost their investments







  • The company has far outgrown Linus’s ability to run it. Half the shit he says on the WAN show I cringe at as someone who’s done corporate management / systems consulting for the last decade+. I get the feeling he really is unable to separate his ego from his corporate responsibilities and this inability seeps through in all their content. Just take the Billet Labs fiasco as an example, he was so convinced he knew better that he felt insulted on the WAN show that his conclusion was brought into question when it was shown his methodology was abhorrently flawed; or look to his and the entire team’s proclivity to misappropriate inventory to their homes or the projects that personally benefit him and his family - I would hate to be his personal attorney as any litigation hitting LMG is sure to hit him personally as there is ample evidence of the corporate veil being pierced, and JFC why is the entire consumer tech market perpetually in the mindset of a horny 14 year old? Talk about a hostile work environment.

    I found it hilarious when he was discussing Blizzard and their actions to be egregious when the vibe at LTT honestly doesn’t seem all that different - he seems to be barrelling toward following in their footsteps



  • What’s this community’s take?

    Personally, I find non-commercial, source-available licenses consistent with the community-driven aspect of open-source and less restrictive than more aggressive copy-left licenses like GPL. I find that it allows persons, groups, and corporations to pursue additional business models other than support/services to monetize their work while still ensuring that individuals in the community are able to benefit from the work the sponsor and others are doing.

    I understand the concerns this raises especially for the use of open-source tools in the commercial space and hope these source-available licenses are used sparingly and strategically (like in situations like Elastic where Amazon was profiting off Elastic while competing with them and ultimately not contributing back to the project which put the project’s funding at risk)
