Last post by VonDaab - February 18, 2026, 03:41:09 PMNow there are rumors about prices for copper and gold going up, which would affect all electronics.
So I went and bought bits for my AM4 system. Going to build small-ish this time around. mATX. Ryzen5600, Arc B580. I've stockpiled enough ram to put 32Gb into it, have to see if I go with that amount, as Linux is very competent even on only 16Gb.
The case for the build. More PCs should have handles.

Last post by VonDaab - February 18, 2026, 03:32:54 PMConsidering the amount of activity here, I don't think necroposting is really an issue.
Usually necroing has been frowned upon is for bringing up old threads that might not be relevant anymore and pushing down newer topics. But I dont think it's really an issue on this forum.

I knew they were dirty, but I didn't think they'd be actually malicious.
I don't doubt this is happening (in fact I assumed the end goal of Discord collecting user ID info was forking it over to Palantir) but I had to do a bit of digging to find details.

This is really fucked.

Last post by VonDaab - February 12, 2026, 01:25:04 AMI'm already working on setting up a private IRC server on a raspberry pi.
We've pretty much gotten to a point where you cant trust any corporation in any amount. All of them will turn coat and betray users. Decentralised and locally run is the only way.

Glad you're doing well Kraus! And good luck with the discord -> forum exodus. I keep mulling the private friend forum idea around in my head as well. And, well, trying to encourage activity over here, too.
