Beef still contains a lot of water, enough to float when frozen.

I quite like web also in my browser.

I despise electron “apps”.

Silver lining? Just maybe software vendors might be a little more careful with memory usage.

I won’t hold my breath though.

No idea, I’m not monitoring power consumption at all.

I’m just assuming that the Intel CPU based system will idle at X Watts, peak as Y Watts, and that an ARM based appliance would idle at X and peak lower than X.

If any thing, I noticed that my UPS batter didn’t last as long during an extended ded outage once I deploy the SFF PC.

Also, TCO, if I save $100 on the price of the device (that draws more power) that is a lot of power savings required to break even.

OpnSense running on an ex-lease HP i3-something SFF desktop. Added several cheap half-height GigEth PCIe cards for the LAN bridge.

It is way over spec for what OpnSense needs but it was cheap and extensible.

UPS power supply.

There’s a tangle of PoE injectors which makes me sad. PoE PCIe cards appear to be ludicrously expensive here for no apparent reason.

I think the toad brain would be the better option.

I have but one up vote.

Which is also, famously, not frozen.

It’s frozen. This is an idiot’s attempt to defrost it quickly.

Exactly what a SunOS user would say.

Torvalds was inspired by Minix (which was in turn inspired by UNIX) but didn’t follow Tannenbaum’s micro-kernel model.

Them: “text is too ambiguous online, let’s add emojis to help…”

Me: “I don’t know what those emoji mean and at this point I’m afraid to ask”

Because they think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires rather than wage slaves.

If I’m reading that right (which obviously I’m not), you’d “love to buy a tiny violin?”

It’s a remarkably effective argument for vegetarianism.

Exactly what I was doing too.

But no, this guy’s dick couldn’t stand for there to be any gaps.

Single lane road in a surging queue of traffic. Apparently this chump figured that tailgating me would make the rest of the traffic go away.

He deserves to die because he’s not using the road to my satisfaction by proxy through his parent/guardian/driver.

/S just in case, this is the internet.

Having experienced indignant tailgaters that quite clearly indicated that they’d prefer me and my whole family dead except that it would have scratched their truck’s paint.

This is exactly how driving works. If you’re not using the road to my satisfaction you deserve to die.

Yeah, poorly worded on my part.
