Huh. 🤔
I wonder if the President-elect knows that the Gulf's “dead zone” (an area of low or no oxygen that kills marine life) is currently close to 7,000 square miles (over 4 million acres of habitat) potentially unavailable to fish and bottom species.
"Dead zone" doesn't really have a beautiful ring no matter which nation it's named for.
Nextcloud, this is kind of assholey. No, I don't "value low cost over root access to the machine." I value my time and my data. I don't have the knowledge to manage security threats to my own machine (therefore pretty much all of my family's data), opened to the Big Wide Internet, and I enjoy the fact that the environment (e.g., SQL+nginx etc.) is set up and managed by my host, so I don't have to become a sysadmin to have a low-budget, self-hosted dropbox.
*Edit*: Nextcloud has been great and also a huge hassle. Upgrading is always (ALWAYS) a multi-hour or multi-day process for me, and there are constant headaches with little things that don't work (e.g., authentication with my mobile sync app, for some reason). I'm already considering paying #proton for some stuff, so I think in about February, if I can't get my major NC hassles fixed, I'll just ditch it once and for all and use Proton Drive, which seems secure and easy to use, even though it's not #FOSS. I really don't have time to go get a second degree in systems administration right now.

@nextcloud That's actually really nice to know. I thought that was Nextcloud's official position on helping anyone with shared-hosting installs. I appreciate this.

"Learning to listen carefully and focus on others takes hard work—and it requires you to find a way to quiet the thoughts that may distract you when you’re supposed to be listening. Quieting these thoughts is what humility is all about.
"Patience is another important skill to have in your arsenal if you want to become a better listener. You must be patient enough to let the conversation flow naturally, rather than trying to chime in with your own stories or focusing on your own thoughts.
"And you must be patient with yourself. Becoming an active listener requires time and practice. You won’t pick it up overnight, but if you’re patient, over time you will find yourself using your active listening skills to make life better."
~ Liam Carnahan

I finally ran a benchmark (should have done this months ago when I bought the thing). And, my seems to be underperforming, as I expected.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I can do to fix this? Is it just bad silicon? This benchmark is underperforming compared to the exact lesser counterpart of the same manufacturer.

When the M1 MacBooks dropped, they looked amazing and I picked one up in 2021. It's 2025 now, so it's fairly typical of me to be upgrading. It felt a little unnecessary since my M1 was: extremely perfectly fine. It's an excellent machine really and it will continue to be for it's next owner for surely many, many years. I'm just a privileged dude and we have a work budget for these things.
