  • Well, my C2D Mini that I’ve been using as a backup server for the last decade just died. I’d be happy to receive a replacement :D

    A 2014 Mini should work great running El Cap Server. Stick a slow external 8TB HDD on it and you’ve got a capable NAS or backup device.

    Do note that if you have other Apple devices, Apple will be dropping support for AFS with macOS 27, so you’ll need to enable Windows filesharing to let the Mini talk to other devices.

    The pavillion? Install Linux Mint and it would make a decent entry level workstation for web browsing. Or install Ubuntu Server and make it into a media server running NextCloud and Jellyfin.










  • What I find interesting is that there’s a lot of conflation these days between the far right and conservatism — especially religious conservatism.

    This misses the point that every progressive society needs some number of conservatives (even dogmatic ones) to be asking “but is this a good idea? Does progress here actually benefit people?”

    These people are NOT fascist and NOT far right. They’re more likely to share a drink with someone who is, knowingly or unknowingly, than someone with progressive views though, and can be more easily influenced.

    These are the sort of people who need to be aware of this kind of article. Unfortunately, most articles of this type don’t tend to differentiate between right and far right, and so are often ignored by the very people who need to hear the message.
