  • Don’t get me started 😂

    I worked for a company that had over 300 clients with sites with them. They don’t give a fuck. We literally moved over 300 accounts to another provider over their shit support/sales teams. Domain, hosting everything.

    They. Don’t. Care.

    They took down services by trying things that aren’t possible on their platform (DMARC for subdomain). Totally unacceptable. How tf do they not know that they can’t accommodate my request without damaging my infrastructure?! Other providers can do DMARC for subdimains?!? WTF?!?!

    If they’re your provider and you’re in trouble, contact Newfold Digital support first. That’s their parents company. They tend to route you better than Bluehost does. Shit Bluehost chat support has been broken for like 3 months lmao.









  • My concern when I see bloat is “what are you hiding?”

    And to me it represents the possibility that Ubuntu with Firefox is trying to make a marketable OS, which is just Windows with extra steps.

    But overall I hear you. I daily drive Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu Server 22.04, Debian 12.5 and Windows 11 (sigh)






  • Idk what I’m paying per kwh, I am just going off my monthly bills.

    There are other power fluctuates, I’m sure. I pay it no mind I just look at the bill. 🤷‍♂️

    So far no bill has arrived that made me change behavior.

    Edit: I’ve also never measured what my machine actually pulls down continuously/when idle. I just know that it’s components demand that range, and that I need the headroom in my power supply for spikes.


  • It totally doesn’t

    I’m running a 14th gen i9 with a 4080. It’s a power hungry boy. 1500w power supply. Generally using about 600-800w.

    Running this 24/7 costs me <$10/month in electricity.

    The old compaq presario with a Pentium II that probably pulled down 100w running Ubuntu server as described here made no statistically significant change in my electric bill. That is to say, it’s about as much change as being good or bad at turning off your lights when you’re not using them. It’s negligible.
