No it’s not, all of my and my extended family cards (for… like a decade!) are never even leave the envelope they come in. I’m not sure I personally know people who use physical car…

Is that slop? Reads as ‘hey, I have the perspective’ but then reveals they know next to nothing about the systems, just spilling the well-known myths. (About Linux, obviously.) Was…

I would appreciate getting into more details. As it sounds like a made-up problem to me. Perhaps you don’t understand how simple it is to have a static website as compared to a dyn…

Are you guys even serious on this? Ok, I’d reboot my personal server daily then.

What’s the point if I can just connect it to my router and not pay any money to anyone, expect some electricity price, which would be like ten times cheaper. My old laptop is capab…
