Unfortunately I’m addicted to a game that requires kernel level anti cheat. So I dual boot Fedora and Windows, but pretty much the only thing I use the Windows partition for is the game and that rare application that just works ™️ on Windows
Breaks my fucking heart man…
An ex army friend of mine said he’d be expected to make that shot with iron sights at 300m if he had an M4 after a year of training.
Not to say every backyard marksman is army trained, but it doesn’t sound improbable.
Neocities is treasure trove of personal websites built by people of all ages. Super sick designs. If you’re into replacing your social media doomscrolling with some blog reading get an RSS reader set up and add some sites. PowRSS.com is a nice place to start as an aggregator of feeds and discovery tool
I use it on Fedora with GNOME. Its available as a GNOME extension
Not running anything myself but am part of a self hosting discord that swears by Netbird because its basically Tailscale but with a bunch more ease of use features apparently
Obviously everything depends on use case. I definitely am a tinkerer and prefer options. I’d never run a jellyfin server off a synology NAS cause… Well cause it can’t transcode very well. So efficiency is less of a concern than processing power.
I get now that my questions was a bit moot, obviously some people will pay a premium for a narrow use case if it brings reliability and ease of use.
I see! Thanks so much for the thoughtful response definitely seems like there’s a use case for people who might be more creatives with a need for storage rather than self-hosting enthusiasts who want to mess around in a homelab.
The prices are still a bit eye watering but you pay for software support for sure.
Is the main appeal of prebuilt NAS cases the aesthetics and the reduction of DIY concerns?
Because they seem to me like overpriced and underpowered computers. Most tech-oriented folks I know have more powerful PCs in a closet somewhere that they could easily convert into a NAS
Edit: some very thoughtful responses thanks y’all! I definitely see the appeal for people who just need something that doesn’t need tinkering or care significantly about power draw and noise.
Begging the question was originally a very specific logical fallacy. It’s a type of reasoning where you circularly try to prove your argument. I just kinda wish the usage wasn’t being muddied. https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-original-meaning-of-begging-the-question
“that begs the question”. I wish people would just use the more correct “raises the question”, especially people doing educational/academic content. I hear it across the English-speaking internet
That second line is the first bit of result after over a year of both parties fearmongering about “the immigrant crisis”. Deeply racist and violent country I hate this shit so much.
Man… the red scare really did a number on the American psyche…
This comment section better remember that you can’t even order from McDonalds anymore without creating an account online. Hell, as of a few weeks ago I can’t even update apps on my personally purchased smart TV without creating a fucking account and letting them link my email to data they already have from Experian (all US companies btw). Tiktok is just a fucking scapegoat so y’all wont push for actual privacy protection laws.
If Tiktok gets sold to a US company nothing will change about their practices the CCP will just buy the data from a 3rd party vendor owned by a US LLC.
Unless they get subpoenad by a district court and the C suite is willing to go to jail for not disclosing it.
Also the US govt already has asked for built-in backdoors to iPhones and the like. They even have highly complex de-anonymization algorithms for data that almost every American with a credit card is giving to their “private” bank so we can have FICO credit scores and venmo.
The private ownership isn’t doing shit for our data protections.
Caught and clocked 😅
