Good point, it was too tempting to consider. Running a m1 or m2 mini seems like a better idea, but the allure of that much hardware for the price was too much to pass up

Picked up a 12 core and an 8 core with 64gb ram, both with d700 GPUs for a steal (150 each). Was thinking of running the 12 core as a server and maybe another as a dedicated router running pfsense and connecting a thunderbolt raid array for local media and jellyfin? Havent done any home server/homelab stuff before so was wondering if there were any Mac server things worth running or if I should just format them to run Ubuntu or something.

Watched it a few days ago, honestly it wasn’t as bad as the box office would make you believe. Some thoughts:

  • the CGI was really quite bad for such a big budget movie
  • I’m a sucker for flashpoint type movies, which definitely made me more biased towards it
  • I’m starting to get really tired of multiverse cameo heavy movies like this (including across the spiderverse)
  • Kara wasn’t as compelling as I’d hoped
  • Ezra Miller is a garbage human being

Overall I did enjoy it for the most part, it coukdbr been better but given DC’s track record this was actually in the top 25% of dc projects

Loved Mr Robot, but I think most of the genius of that show came from Sam Esmail. One of the biggest drivers for that show was an air of mystery and intrigue which Secret Invasion doesn’t have at all. Instead of showing skrulls impersonating people from the first episode, they should’ve literally not shown a single skrull until episode 5 to make you question who is and isn’t a skrull. On top of that, having both the skrull and non-skrull versions of the characters out and about would be great for driving speculation, intrigue, buzz, etc. Trying to figure out why there’s inconsistency in how characters act and interact with each other could’ve made it a much more engaging show but Marvel really dumbed it down.

I think the dump truck full of cash convinced him otherwise

Value proposition isn’t there anymore either, airbnbs used to be super affordable but now match the price of hotels and if they don’t are in inconvenient locations.

Not to mention the impact it has on local housing supply and pricing.
