If you have ever struggled with a server whose bios won't netboot because there's a misconfiguration on the switch, or the Ethernet cable is not coded right for the speed of the server's card (because your vendor silently
"upgraded" you to 25 Gbit because they were out of 10 Gbit cards), and then when it does boot, it is thermally throttled because it's tiny fans happen to be blowing in the one spot where your electrician tied a bundle of electric cables 10 cm thick, and then once you get the thermal throttling problem solved, you find out your version of IPMItool is incompatible with some stupid extension your server vendor defaulted to "on",, then you might understand why Oxide is a good deal.
If you idea of installing a server is "terraform", you're not going to get it.

Foamy gear oil

Doing some maintenance on an inherited k5 blazer and having very complicated feelings about finding water contamination in the transmission oil, knowing this probably happened when we got bogged down in a mud hole up to the pumpkins while hunting several years back.

this is blowing my mind

“bears can squeeze into some pretty tiny spaces b/c they don’t have collarbones. All they need is an opening big enough for their heads to fit [...] we routinely receive reports of large, adult bears accessing crawlspaces through standard 8 by 16 inch foundation vents" WHAT

An active conflict gives “support” for the Alien Enemies Act declaration and a state of emergency; imo this is all about mass deportation.

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
