For me, pros are:

• Fun to learn something new
• Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
• I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
• Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.

Cons

• Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
• As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
• With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
• I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.

Hope this is helpful.

I checked to see if it was the Onion or not.

Has there ever been someone armed that has stopped police abuse? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a case like that.

Thank you. It is infuriating to see how little critical investigation is given to accusations of anti-semitism. AIPAC’s propaganda team is pretty amazing, I have to give that to them.

So Hamas doing this to free the thousands of minors imprisoned by the Israeli military system is justified?

Interesting argument you’re making.

That and algorithmic districting are my hopes.

Good, now you’re beginning to understand how the Palestinians feel.

How many Israelis should die to allow your people to be free? There isn’t a number too high. The Palestinians’ freedom is worth infinitely more than an Israeli oppressor.

I’m trying to imagine if my brain was…

Yeah, that is probably what I miss most about Reddit. Science articles have really deep discussions about the topics there. Here, the comments are mainly just one or two jokes and an asshole or two with a superiority complex.

The fediverse has some really good tech discussions. I hope we can get more scientists soon to elevate those discussions.

The chair is actually a woman.

Man, that breathing hit me more than I expected.

I agree, the stock will tank eventually. I just think it would be immediate if Musk left.

I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:

Maybe they were weeding out bots?

Tesla stock is worth more than most other car companies combined. Musk’s genius is knowing how to pump stock. The company would do much better without Musk, but the stock would tank. No one else is willing to lie, cheat and sacrifice safety like Musk to keep the stock high.

I think you underestimate the number of military personnel that support Trump. The lack of military or police support as our Congress was invaded was no accident.

Does anyone know about the technology that nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers use? Why are they able to operate but we can’t use the same technology on land?

Yeah, just screams astroturfing.

No mention of the Tesla dancing robot yet?

Thanks, bought one!

I volunteered at the occupy wall street camp in New York. Fun times.
