  • it used to be cheaper, and with an audio jack. Add some environment and social consideration and I see many reasons to buy it.

    Or you can buy a Google phone from Amazon and text about privacy or freeing Palestine while sipping your Starbucks coffee in your Tesla car.

    Not everything has to be about how much do you personally get for the money you give.

    I am so glad I could get the Faiphone 3 while it still had an audio jack. At that time the hardware was not too far behind, still too much for my use which is mainly scrolling through obscure left-ish forums and YouTube channels (thanks newpipe) and startups late-stage capitalist hacker news (I don’t know any better about tech).




  • He is right. In Japan there are 2 form of health insurance: from your company 社会保険 (shakai houken) or directly from the government 国民健康保険 (kokumin kenko houken). If you quit your job you loose your health insurance the very day you’re unemployed and must go to your prefecture to ask the national one (you’ll pay for it, around 200$-300$ a month).

    Also in France your health insurance is also tied to your job. The french administration is a nightmare to me so I have no idea how to get anything if you’re unemployed.

    Spending 3000$ to assemble a PC and installing TrueNas as is not new nor informative to me. I’m not a huge fan of rich people spending thousand of dollars building a power hog a call it a nice NAS.

    The post would be more interesting if, at least, it would show the assembling (not stolen photos) and the software settings. For a really interesting post I would like to see a before/after benchmark of performance and power consumption.

    I don’t think any server, especially self hosting should be CISC based like x86 architecture but RISC like arm or RiSC-V. The power usage is a order of magnitude less. Also really building yourself would probably cost hundreds and not thousands of dollars.
