I hate buying from Amazon and avoid it as much as I can, but one thing I’ve noticed in the last 5-10 years is that brick and mortar stores seem to have given up completely. It is shocking how many times I’ve wanted to buy something, often very common, from popular brands, and I try and find a local store to buy it from only for that store to be out of stock or just not stock it at all. It feels to me like these stores are filled with “stuff” but none of the things I want to buy.

Many years ago it used to be very obvious when you were buying from Amazon vs 3rd party sellers. Today the only difference is a small bit of text that says “Shipped and sold by Amazon”.

My UnRAID server is an HP desktop machine from 2011. More than capable of running dozens of services without tons of storage.

My main application server is a middling office desktop computer from 2011. Runs dozens of services without a sweat.

You needed an AI to create a few dozen JSON files for you or else it would have taken you days?
