I love this

sure it would

I hate how much effort is put into property damage but when my house was broken into or when my friends truck was stolen, the police did nothing.

It's also disturbing how hard it is to be anonymous. Crime or not, it gives me the creeps that anyone could probably track me down if they wanted.

I'm disturbed by how accurate this is.

That's true for PC gaming but might not be true for these NUCs. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't be surprised if they shaved costs with bulk purchases of RAM and SSDs for these devices. Regardless, I was just addressing a point you made about being forced to buy the components yourself which isn't the case. Pricing is probably going to vary wildly depending on what you pick and you might be able to save money if you're ok with less RAM or less storage.

You shouldn't have to pick it all separately. Some Nucs are "barebones" and others come with RAM, CPU, Storage, etc. This Amazon link purportedly claims to have RAM, SSD, etc. pre-built into the ASUS NUC.

That being said, any NUC's integrated GPU is likely going to be far superior to the RPi5's CPU encoding (which I assume was your previous setup).

If you want to spend ~$1000, you might be better off with just going straight for the dedicated NAS.

This comment makes it look like he has successfully cut a lot of the budget, which is false. Not only has he cut important programs, but he's missed the largest chunk of the cake: DoD

The front fell off

I think that's "queefing" rather than "quething" FYI

Personally, it sounds like you need to repair yourself before seeking out relationships. If you're miserable and seeking company, I don't think you're going to find that makes for a good relationship foundation. You're going to therapy which is a great idea. But I get the sense you're not taking the possibility that you're unhappy seriously enough. Based on your description, you're unhappy and "fucked up" and want someone just like that. That's not going to end well in any regard. This is coming from someone with a long history of mental health struggles who has also found themselves in similar relationships.

You're going to need to see therapy as a way to get past that fucked up self. I ended up taking SSRIs. I needed medication to heal. It took me a long time before finally admitting that, but it changed my life. I believe you need to find something to help you truly heal yourself whether it's medication, CBT, group therapy, etc. You don't have to be fucked up and pessimistic forever. Being optimistic and/or having stability doesn't mean you're naive to the world around you. It doesn't mean you have to change your worldviews entirely. It just means you're not actively destroying yourself as a result of your worldviews.

I just can't imagine two miserable people making a good relationship. Someone will always seek out a way to find pleasure or relief from that misery: cheating, drug abuse (not just drug use), abuse of each other, etc.

I'm not a therapist, but I've dealt with depression for decades. That's just my 2 cents.

That might be illegal if it's not zoned for residential. That's how it works in the USA.

What does VISA sponsorship require? Maybe you could setup a farm/agrarian business and offer VISA sponsorship for migrants. As an American, I'd consider becoming a farmer with the opportunity to become an EU citizen lol probably not easy to do for a reason though.

I feel like solar farming was a good suggestion from someone else. Maybe plant some trees if you're not keen on making it a farm. If you can get it zoned, you might be able to get investment for residential? Though public transportation is lacking, maybe you could be the start of a small apartment complex or something like that. Idk much about this kind of thing.
