It means you don’t know how to make it work. Last I checked, a used N100 all in one PC with dual Ethernet is cheaper than even most brand new consumer routers, and also sips watts.

So it’s a skill issue, then? Got it. Any old PC + a $10 pcie network adapter can be turned into a router capable of it.

Easy enough to enforce. Put all your IoT devices into their own subnet/VLAN with no Internet access. Then, you’ll quickly see which devices you need to replace, or just not use as “smart” devices.

I have a ton of smart devices that don’t even connect to wifi at all. None of them have Internet access of any sort.

There’s also the slightly-less-hidden cost.

Electricity to run your home server(s).

This myth needs to die. The only parts of BSD that Apple used for iOS/osx, were from bsd4.4 (released in like the 1990s). And even then it was only parts of the user space.

The kernel is a completely different beast.

Where, exactly, do you think the source code will go for aosp? It’ll just get forked. See ZFS and openzfs, or Solaris, and illumos.

I would hazard a guess that If one were to draw a venn diagram of people who up voted your comment, and people who just a few years ago, told me repeatedly that trucking jobs were going away in a few years due to self driving trucks, there’d be an awful lot of overlap…

There’s a theory that we already are. That our entire observable universe is, actually.

Mm, spaghetti…

Because when they do, they start charging more for them. cough Kia/Hyundai

Right, because nobody lived here prior to the existence of FEMA.

I, for the life of me, cannot understand how people can look at the history of what our, and most other governments have done, and then say, “Hey, you know what? We need more of that!”

All of the above

It’s a very personal issue for me.

I lost everything and had to start over with little more then the clothes on my back, and then to hear people say I should’ve just moved?

It’s more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.

As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?

That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area…

I drove 1500 miles with directions to the town center, and a phone number written on a paper plate. I then used a pay phone to call her and tell her “Surprise, I drove to your town, wheres your apartment?”

She bet me I wouldn’t.

I won that bet. Victory party lasted the entire weekend, then I drove home. 😂

Ahh, 1998. May it never return.

No. Mac is NOT BSD. Mac took the BSD user space from 20+ years ago. That’s all.

I’m not sure why this myth keeps being repeated over and over.

If that’s all it takes to “be” BSD, then windows is also BSD since the entire windows network stack was lifted from BSD

My sister can’t see the big E on the old school eye charts.

My kid barely can, as well. They’re practically blind without glasses.

Instructions unclear, now my server is slowly floating into the sky…

20 years ago:

"We need to stop using paper bags! They’re cutting down all the trees!” (a renewable resource)

"We should use plastic bags instead! They’re recyclable!” (so is paper, and it’s far more economically viable, but plastic is made from petroleum)

So now we use plastic bags made of a much heavier material, so we can reuse them, or cloth bags for a similar reason.

Cloth bags are made from cotton, like paper is made from trees.
