I struggle to consider it scientific because it bakes in so many fundamental assumptions without questioning them. At least mainstream economics.

In interviews, they said this was intentional

My setup is an old Dell Wyse thin client and 4 external USB drives. The thin client is basically silent. The drives only make sound when they’re active, and spin down when idle. The thin client has an Intel CPU with QuickSync so it can even transcode with Plex. For data redundancy between the hard drives, I use lsyncd to make a poor man’s mirror setup.

Works great. Lives in a cabinet in my living room.

Which requires a malicious network operator or some other kind of DNS poisoning. Not exactly a radical exploit

What’s wrong with original Syncthing? Why would anyone use a fork?

Bitcoin is good for the rich, who use it to avoid tax laws and other financial oversight laws. And lots of crime.

What is that in a real scientific measurement?

I’m generally pretty happy with LazyLibrarian. I know people get really excited about the *arr stack, but Readarr never worked well for ebooks. It was maybe a little better at finding audiobooks, but LL is getting better at that.

Besides a media server, I self host my email, a blog, an IRC bouncer, syncthing, SPFToolbox, and in my house I run ADS-B plane tracking.
