That is awesome. 👏

I’d start with what you might already have so there’s zero cost outside of your time - any spinners or ssds in an enclosure or prefab external hdd could be used up front. Use that to test your set up & access etc. & once you have it the way you want it, that might be good enough for your needs...

Well that mini has four usb3 that max at 625mbps (super speed/thunderbolt) so good access/throughput out of those. It could be as simple as running one with a couple high capacity external usb drives connected to them & within the macOS, enable file sharing, media streaming & backups...

I certainly noticed the jump in SSD pricing. I was definitely very used to getting Netac 128gb ssds for like 15-17 bucks USD (it's CRAZYTOWN that those same drives new are now $29.99 not even 6 months later). I never found new stuff for $13 so kudos for finding a great price there - wish I did...

There will always be people who do this. I mean we do this now but with people vs ai agents. A generalist administrator manages a team of specialists to accomplish the task. I understand that the concern is that AI agent wheel house is not there yet in regards to "the specialist" but I think...

I have been using this suite for a few years now on my cMP1,1 & 09 mbp el cap install. Works great and the mail client is awesome. Thanks @wicknix !

Nice, turns out the Accelsior msata is completely bootable in this cMP 1,1. Benchmarks don't beat the sw raid 0 but it is perfectly snappy regardless. I cannot tell any difference for normal DD tasks. Ive never found great performance with Liteon, so I will keep hunting around for a Samsung...

Today I tested two of my iMac g4s & a g4 mini to make sure they still worked and survived a tumble off some storage shelves in my office when their metal supports fatigued sending all sorts of stuff tumbling to the ground. This was last week Tuesday while my three boys & I were eating dinner. I...

Lately, I have been mostly listening to either Yo La Tengo or instrumental mellow Jazz while cooking. Must be getting soft in my old age I guess (approaching 50 fast lol). :censored: Wait ... what? just because I typed the above, I am going to play Chevelles "Remember When" at 11 and chug an...

FF Dynasty is my middle son's favorite too and what he uses on he and his older brothers imac to watch his youtube kids account ( currently obsessed with electric motorcycles :LOL: ) but I think he likes FFD most because of the colorful theme options :D he has access to (He is 6). I find my...

If you stick with legacy macos, there are some great still-supported browsers. My favs are Basilisk and Jazzny's Powerfox that was forked from Basilisk. Powerfox focuses on earlier PPC and Intel macos but works just fine on newer old macos like El Cap and Catalina; effectively macos...

Well I’m sure someone on here could put them into a build. Or maybe a charity local to you could use them. I do rebuild boxes & laptops as I find them and donate them to my local Catholic charity but I don’t have anything that takes ddr4 lol (I mean other than my own box which has 32gb already)...

You could run a current linux distro like MX or Mint with uber lightweight xfce desktop environment. Im posting this on my 08 mb running MX25+xfce Pretty snappy for a C2D ear mb :)

Anytime. One other tip that is IMHO important to consider is magnetism. Screw drivers, bits etc. If you can get them magnetized, do it. There is nothing worse than dropping a tiny, proprietary screw and having to go find it (if you can) lol. Sometimes you cant buy what you want magnetized and...

I didn’t buy a kit. It’s just stuff & tools etc that I have acquired over the past 20 years or so initially for working with musical equipment guts. Thinking about what I use and touch every time on my bench is below.I know you said that you have soldering stuff but I’ll add this for other...

This was my thought too - the water flows both ways here. Considering how popular Discord is in 2026 and in regards to promoting an old format like forums like it’s still 1998, Discord is a must have tool to bring visibility to that format with the very age demographic of would be future...

Oh I’m sure lol. It was a pretty hilarious title to run across :D

Hi and welcome :)

I like this a lot. I think it speaks to the freedom of choice which is very important. As creative & thoughtful people, we fortunately have the choice to use it or not. I can absolutely envision a subculture of sorts that is AI free - everything is done by a human ... which is awesome. Its...

I did this IRL as well (no I did not take a picture LOL derp). It worked really well except you have to worry about squishing the feet as I am 6'4" 280 pounds which those are not really designed to support I dont think LOL. I also tend to land pretty hard on chairs being taller. I fixed this by...
