"We believe in an open internet... as long as you use these specific services."

This really sucks. So we're looking at a future where search engines are like streaming services now. "Hmmm now which search engine was on?"

Less hyped this expansion but that makes sense as it's a new beginning. Can't wait nonetheless, I always come back to XIV.

Late reply, but I've got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

 

Just over a year ago I bought a 5950x on sale and with the help of some spare parts, and some great second hand deals I put together a Proxmox machine and began self hosting some services. 1 year later I have 4 Proxmox nodes; a 5900x system in the Rosewill rackmount case and 2 Beelink mini pc's.

I recently bought the Startech rack from a small business that no longer needed it. It came with 3 shelves, 2 APC rack-mount UPS's, one of which had brand new batteries, an HP Proliant DL6360 Gen 8 (not pictured, haven't made use of it) and a QNAP rack-mount something or other with 5 x 2TB drives in it. All for less than the price of the rack brand new.

Throw in a couple raspberry pi's, one that's running PiKVM hooked up to a 4 input HDMI switch, and one I use as my bastion host / jumpbox, and you got yourself a homelab!

Pretty much what I do too. If the game goes on sale, and I still find it hard to pull the trigger I just take it off my list.

Good calls, and good luck!

They work in a pinch but even on windows they always end up causing more trouble than it's worth. I recently got a client business, a lawyer's office, where their previous IT got them all Startech displaylink docks. After I replaced a couple of them where the users had some lower end i3 laptops, searches they ran in their document management system finished in maybe 50% of the time.

Good processors like the M1 you maybe can't notice but they cripple the lower end systems.

Does anyone have a quick ELI5 for the AMD P-state or a link to some good info around it? Seems people are excited about and I've been out of the news cycle loop lately.

I miss the early days of android. When the next phone, or next software release was game changing. Now all we have to get excited about is 200mAh spec bumps and the inclusion of new types of data that will be harvested from us.

 

I'm running KDE Plasma, with the latest Firefox and have the titlebar turned off in the customize settings. When I set Firefox to use the "System theme - auto" it correctly uses my window decorations from the GTK theme I set in KDE's settings (top). Any Firefox theme I apply changes the window decorations to the below pic. Is there a way I can edit a theme to respect my system defined window decorations, or else I guess I'm looking for how edit the theme itself so I can define what decorations to use manually.

I organize by game release year. Not when it was released on steam or even PC but whenever that game was initially released on any platform. From 1997 to 2023.

When it comes to copies, 1 is none, 2 is one, and 3 is a backup!

I think I was around 13 years old, our home family computer had Windows ME on it. It broke all the time. I think I may have tried Ubuntu first on that PC but then came across SUSE and decided to replace windows with that because the KDE interface at the time (was horrendously 90's looking) but felt more like windows. I think I ran that on the computer for a year or so before my father made me put XP on it when that was released.

It was my first real foray into Linux and it would be many moons until I ran it full time as an adult but I have a soft spot for it.

Edit: I think my memory is off because Ubuntu wouldn't have been around back then... Must have tried Ubuntu later or maybe I was a bit older. In any case it was SUSE that sparked my interest in alternative operating systems, and probably why I still prefer KDE.

"The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’."

Amazing.
