#FreeBSD server with #musicpd and #sndio backend in the basement, controlled by #MALP App installed from #fdroid ...

#FreeBSD thin client (rescued from eBay) in the living room, connected to a high end #DAC, humble amplifier, speakers from a local manufacturer.

A music collection that includes #mp3 converted on a 386 computer running #linux decades ago.

An endless source of #happiness .

Edit: Forgot to mention the coffee out of a #Bezzera BZ10

Finally, the separate box of POWER9 upgrades appears. These are for the dual socket 144 thread Talos II here at home (the LC-922 are in colo). Relocation has turned up a lot of missing hardware, very pleased about this turn of events.

So, the long lost box contains:
- 4x Samsung 883-DCT 2TB SSDs for local storage ZFS pool (with 2x Optane NVMe cache)
- 3x PM863a 240GB SSDs for the OS
- always more RAM
- an OcuLink 4x to U.2 cable w/ Optane drive floating around somewhere
- Mellanox 50GbE QSFP28 NIC for RDMA fun

@dexter finally, we can continue the project with appropriate hardware

"... the amendments that were made to the Equal Pay Act in 2020 made a real, tangible difference to women and women's pay. We had 13 successful pay equity claims that went through, and those women saw a huge difference. In some cases, up to 30%+ changes to their pay.

Today we've seen a huge step backwards, and we need to create a better world for our daughters and our granddaughters."

The colonisation of cognisance i.e. Belief in growth, extraction and domination restrict the development of #Education#Equality #happiness pretty much everything humans need to thrive.
That colonisation is closely aligned with the sovereign state which has to be replaced with a planetary identity.
