                (Quote) None whatsoever. If it gets the job done - great.

                I've edited-out the double-bandwidth/storage/whatever stuff. Next time I see such offers, I'll just delete the whole offer. DM/PM is fine. Provider's support portal ticket is fine. But no encouraging of posts just to get bonuses/benefits, as it is …

                (Quote) The new CEO of Google, R. Daneel Olivaw, says AI taking our jobs is still decades away. (Image)

                (Quote) Opinions are divided. This is the relevant discussion (and vote results) that preceeded the rules change.

                (Quote) It is the spirit of the times. I see more and more such managers.

                (Quote) I’ve edited out that from the offer and moved all the spam/order id posts to the bin.
- 
                (Quote) Briefly put: Providers: Don't encourage spam, i.e. require customers to post a comment in order to get benefits ("double bandwidth" and similar stuff). Customers: don't spam the offer threads. Use them to post questions related to…

                I've removed the double bandwidth bullshit - and I recommend any tests or reviews to be posted in separte thread(s).

                (Quote) That is my impression too. Raspberry Pi makes sense for controllers and similar things where low power consumption and compact size are more important.

                If it helps anyone - I got a 12 TB Seagate IronWolf Pro (my German - Amazon.de affiliate link) for about $270. The picture says "Pro", the description doesn't, but I got the Pro allright. Passed all the stress tests, and has been working …

                At this point, after having checked out the prices of mini PCs and touch-screen large screens, we are considering going down that route (with a couple of thousand $ for a screen, saving $100 on the "computer"/computer won't make much of a …

                (Quote) Double opt in is a good idea regardless of the stubid GDPR. Having said that, it makes more sense for newsletter subscriptions and similar. For a contact form, it is more important to provide good spam & bot protection. WPforms works n…

                Removed the offer over the $7 limit.

                Well, I have managed to install an Apache web server and PHP. PhpMyAdmin install was a bit problematic, but that probably won't be needed anyway. MySQL might have been installed properly, but I haven't tested that. The unit does overheat in the or…

                (Quote) This is still in the "draft" version. Nothing is defined, nor set in stone. Roughly: the idea is to run a simple map "website" (PHP, but no DB) for users via a big touch screen (so, one user at a time). Maybe it will be c…

                (Quote) It is intended to run offline, locally, connected to a big screen for some presentation/service.
- 
                (Quote) No idea. It's on my desk, and I'm supposed to make it run. LOL. Will probably connect it to a monitor in the morning and give it a go if possible. It has a HDMI outlet and USB ports.

                After having been using Ubuntu + Gnome for a while: It can work, but it sucks compared to Mint + Cinnamon. It doesn't suck bad enough for me to do a new Mint install, but with hindsight, I would have installed Mint right away.

                The last offer ("VPS - 4096") is above the $7 p/m limit. I've edited the offer to remove the item. Relja
