Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah, I may have gone a bit far afield to try to point out that it can be done. It's not going to be for everyone, and maybe it would be too slow for you.

It was fun to think about, and I enjoyed the friendly conversation.

Don't get me wrong: the idea is super appealing, and the technology has gotten good enough it's practical - i absolutely agree about that. I was only saying that there'd be a noticeable difference in performance of you're used to M.2 NVMe.

I think a bigger concern is trusting other people's hardware. It's getting increasingly fraught, with key loggers and such; I'm not sure how much I'd trust my (digital) life to a random computer - and then there's the issue of secure boot, and needing computers that have either unprotected BIOS menus or which are already configured to boot first from USB (which is IME an increasingly rare default configuration).
