I grew up reading Maddox “The Best Page in the Universe” and loved his writing and satire. But since he doxxed himself a few years ago, he’s lost all edge and just become another leftist online comedian.

a Synology NAS really is a game changer. Uploading open source projects via docker is pretty sweet as well. Finance apps, media streaming, etc. I’d have enough space to run a Bitcoin node, but I’ve already got plenty of those synced up at the moment
