I hope we see a blossoming of high quality open source games. Beyond all Reason is looking towards a Steam release within the year or so and it’s really impressive how much love can be put into a game that is run almost entirely by donations!
I’m probably in a similar boat thanks to 4x NAS drives (in 2x mirror vdevs so essentially half as power efficient too). I wonder if using an SSD or two for things like caches would help with power draw since you could defer disk usage for longer by relying on a more efficient cache.
SnapRAID is also an option. One benefit is that multiple disks don’t need to be spinning at once to access data. Downside is that your parity isn’t calculated in real time so less data redundancy.
Yeah they really like to act like they’re giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.
I’d probably do a clean install (eventually) even if it looked like stuff works for now.
I know the pain, though. did rm -rf in the wrong directory and wiped half my drive in seconds. Good times.
metronome for the other components to practice playing songs at the right bpm
I have two 4TB in Raid 10 (ZFS Mirror) and two 8TB as the same. All in TrueNAS Scale.
TrueNAS is pretty good for a basic setup imo!
I would consider creating a swapfile if you have an SSD. There should be countless tutorials for doing it on Ubuntu.
It might mean your windows or Ubuntu install gets sluggish, but even 32GB (less than 10% of a typical storage drive!) of spare swap space can let your active and memory-hogging processes breathe instead of invoking the SystemD-OOM killer. Also, it’s essentially free! You’ll benefit from more RAM though.
For what it’s worth, I think Ubuntu is also fairly aggressive with memory management. I remember complaints that it was a little too hasty to kill user processes under memory-limited scenarios. not sure if that was addressed
A computer. Seriously that’s it. Of course depends on your use case (media servers usually need more than a web host for example)
spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies
Rsync to a Hetzner storage box. I dont do ALL my data, just the nextcloud data. The rest is…linux ISOs… so I can redownload at my convenience.
diet pi counts right? most of the software in their managed repo is a straightforward install and largely preconfigured for daily use. It was my first server OS and im very fond of it
ai is the new stack overflow which is the new copying someone else’s work which is the new reading the manual
As others have said. The errors are easily fixed and documented if annoying. Some will require console access but are usually pretty safe.
It’s surprising how slow open source is on replicating Roku. So many manufacturers could be using Linux to bypass androidTV and RokuOS bullshit. I suppose AndroidTV is good enough even despite that.
Every worker moved is another worker more likely to use Linux at home. In my experience you’re most likely to use the computers you work with (school or otherwise) and exposure to Linux is going to demystify it in ways social media cannot.
Most exciting is probably the IT management side. I wonder how many distros are hardened for end users who do general office work - where people are more likely to tinker and mess about either for fun or to optimise things.
the new name is pretty slick so not all that bad
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it’s less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
I’m curious, how well has Musl been for software compatibility? How did you resolve any that came up?
i play the coop/ai games for this reason lmao
