I think you mean more scrupulous, not less.

Hopefully you can publish in an open-access journal

if not it would be great if you could share an arXiv preprint :)

You said that no one...

I don't think that was the parent commenter though...

You experience the passage of time as ever increasing in speed, and before long the universe has died, leaving you

immortal and sentient

alone in the cold, dead cosmos, for eternity.

It is really powerful per watt, and has a built-in UPS. Any homelab type things you could do with that? macOS+homebrew will give you a nice *NIX feel, very familiar if you're a Linux user.

I'm a fan of having a remote homelab computer+disk for off-site storage. This would be a good candidate in that it wouldn't use excessive power at a friend/family's place, but may be overkill (I use a pi3 for that).

I'd say it gets a little different with command line utilities

maybe "utility" is the appropriate term here, but I'd call something like grep a program, not an application (again

"utility" also works).

To be sure, grep is extremely powerful, but its scope is limited.

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it's nice to have computers seem "fun" again.

At least, that's my perspective.

In parts of California you are allowed to ride on the freeway shoulder. AFAIK it's only legal when there is no reasonable alternative.

I've done it a few times

it's not ideal, but it's not horrible, mostly because you don't cross on/off ramps (it's just from one exit to the next). In my case I did it because the multi-use path I was planning on using was temporarily closed.

I have been on a different ride where I crossed on/off ramps (I should have taken a different route!), and that really sucked.

Only tangentially related, but it's often accepted that there is no Nobel prize in economics. There is a Nobel memorial prize in economics (link), but as it was set up after Nobel's death it is in a slightly different category.
