  • For those wondering what the article is about.

    For generations, owning a house on a modest block of land has been idealised as both the ultimate marker of success and a gateway to a better life.

    It’s an aspiration that has wormed its way into the country’s identity, helping to shape modern Australia.

    From the so-called “Ten Pound Poms” in the 1950s to the current boom in skilled workers moving from India, waves of migrants have arrived on Australia’s shores in search of its promise. And many found it.

    But for current generations the dreams proffered to their parents and grandparents are out of reach.

    After decades of government policies that treat housing as an investment not a right, many say they would be lucky to even find a stable, affordable place to rent.

    “The Australian Dream… it’s a big lie,” Mr Dowswell says.


  • So I recently went through all of this headache. I started really wanting hotswap that didn’t look like it was from the 90’s. I also needed like 8 drives capacity which rules a lot of the popular cases out.

    I thought about it for a while and I don’t really touch the drives at all on any of my previous Nas builds so that meant I didn’t need hotswap.

    Eventually I decided that rather than try to hide the case away I would make it a feature of my living room and I went with the tower 500 and I really love it and everyone that has gone over has mentioned how cool it looks

    It’s interesting but I’ve not had any performance issues running Kodi on anything from a fire tv to a Chromecast to windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I don’t run a ton of plugins but the ones I do work almost flawlessly most of the time.

    I will say that a couple of years ago I moved to using the jf server connected to Kodi and that seems to be the best of every world. I get the Kodi interface (jf didn’t have themes and it is still really unintuitive to me) and I get a single repository for my multiple clients.

    All of this is to say that perhaps Kodi isn’t as bad as you think it is just because you had some issues with your install.
