Woosh…

Correction, cost of goods is what I meant. I’m not going to Walmart just for the WiFi.

My comment was also meant to be sarcastic. Free WiFi while I spend my earnings, which I’d expect prices to reflect the cost of this service, in a giant metal box seems fair to me. Trading privacy as an extra cost I’m not okay with, so I won’t use it.

Also, you pay for your cellphone service, right? Are you paying for the wifi in the store? Nooooooo.

Yes? Indirectly its baked into the cost of service.

SSDs are pretty pricey for video. I use HDDs, mirrored. For some uses I put a SSD caching layer on top to speed up frequent R/W. Using only LVM, no fancy RAID hardware or anything.
