I manage storage systems as part of my day job. i think you would be happy with a simple direct attached storage device. You’d need a storage controller card and a storage controller. These are usually enterprise-grade items so they might be expensive. I suspect there are SATA options but SATA is pretty slow.

QNAP and Synology are decent for what they offer, if you like the idea if turning it on, setting up an account, and then having access to both native and an easy 3rd-party store with no fiddling needed then they are a good idea. You can also setup an iSCSI connection for direct-attached storage over the network.

It’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.

You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.

Consoles will never go away. Even Xbox, effectively a pc, exists.

I suspect it’s because of controllers, ease of use, and cost.

Boomers living to 150 is going to be awful.

Why keep such an accomplishment secret?

It depends, but the weakest link will likely be whatever is performing NAT.

An hvac company that is able to adopt AI for 1st call processing and scheduling will be able to eliminate a number of jobs and remain open 24x7. They will undercut their local competitors, and the hvac techs will find themselves out of a job or working for their competitor soon.

Small companies won’t be able to compete.

I’m all for this but we need to offset these immense productivity gains with economic safety nets. I don’t know how the next 100 year will look if we don’t adopt UBI, universal healthcare, and some amount of subsidized housing.

Does lemmy use google or Facebook as an idp yet? That makes things pretty easy on kbin.social.

MS is doing the same to Outlook users too at some point. Its a much better app. Windows mail/calendar were an oddity. Remember outlook express?

A “legacy” game, where your contributions to the game continue even if you’re logged off, meted with an mmorpg

It could be anything, but my idea is something like cities:skylines. Interconnected cities or areas each with a mayor or admins that direct the goals of the area…

Then the 2nd aspect of the game is more like GTA, where people interact with the areas.

The areas could be like San Andreas, but then you could walk to the edge and it becomes more like a village from Warcraft. Or maybe an area is filled with ghosts and most of the goals in the area are delivering packages. Or maybe there’s an area like Sanctum 2, fallout, or any other idea. It would be up to the admins/mayors to figure out how to design it.

The game would fill in gaps in city creation for random encounters, etc. the in-game players actions would have some effect on the area itself.

I would expect the game to support itself through a combination of ads and subs. Companies could pay to have more control over what advertising exists in their area.

You want to use as little space as possible tonsave on cost.

A server with ipmi is ideal.

A hardware vpn firewall is a good idea.

Do you need to provide your own router or switch?

Mass effect series, on ps5. I’m on MA2 right now.

Courts can have closed source code audited. It’s literally done in a locked room on a device that doesn’t have the ability to export, and people that enter the room are monitored.

Unreasonable request for most internet users.

Facebook doesn’t need you to have an account to track you.
