the best home server is a computer you’re not using, the second best home server is a bajillion dollar server rack you looted from behind a meta LLM farm

ray tracing is the AI of pc gaming. A bunch of hardware made “obsolete” just so a few nerds can get marginally “better” lighting.

Ah yes that was it!

Tantacrul did the same with MuseScore, the FOSS music scoring program. Not long after, they invited him to help redesign the UI/UX for their next major version, which was massively improved.

I hope GIMP is able to do the same!

Nvidia is just doing what every monopoly does, and AMD is just playing into it like they did on CPUs with Intel. They’ll keep competing for price performance for a few years then drop something that drops them back on top (or at least near it).

system d struggle sessions should be integrated into SystemD

Yup, already keep an off-site copy of the important stuff via Hetzner but my Linux ISOs are the big data hogs

That’ll do the trick. Get yourself a powered USB hub and connect a bunch of SSDs to it, then jam the hub into your mini PC. You’ve now got yourself a NAS in all ways except looks.

Honestly a raspberry pi or equivalent on diet pi (https://dietpi.com/) is probably a good start. Though with the caveat that you should use its internal utilities to create an off-site backup of your most important data via a provider such as hetzner.

Cheap, low power, and diet pi is Debian with some tweaks so it’s very easy to set up either bare metal or via containers (as others have said containers may help manage things easier and safer in the long run).

For storage, you’ll probably either need an externally powered USB dock (30ish EUR) or a powered 3.5inch HDD dock if you go this route as the pi cannot reliably power even one SSD from its USB ports - you’ll risk IO failures. The same will come from any setup that includes any low power SBC just for stability. In my experience it’s still less than 15W but you need stable power for IO stuff on SSDs.

AI is just one of the many technologies that only exists to pollute the earth and maintain the illusion of scarcity within the labour pool. the added benefit of a bunch of new faces to circulate the same hoarded wealth helps too.

I pray for this to be real because it’s the perfect syntactic sugar for C++. The kind that you’d think makes sense if you didn’t have to write C++ for anything more complex than a high school project.

of there was proof that chickens could contribute to the Ecmascript standard I would probably stop being vegan tbf

web Devs aren’t ignorant to optimizing but the kind of interfaces used in web are very different to that of desktop. Cross platform technologies can work, but anything built on top of web engines is going to be a little dogshit on native platforms.

Web tech was designed around the asynchronous and comparatively slow nature of the network. Now, those same layout and rendering engines are being shoehorned into an environment where the “server” is your local disk so it’s suddenly doing a bunch of work that was intended to be done iteratively.

Same goes the other way of course. Software designed for “native first” experiences like Flutter aren’t as popular in web dev because they work on that same, but reversed, assumption of a local disk being your source.

It would be like wondering why physical game disks aren’t popular on PC - it’s a fundamentally different technology for fundamentally different expectations and needs.

I know people complain about Nvidia and Linux but one of the best parts of my experience with it was never having to deal with GFE. Just a bunch of project managers trying to make themselves useful by shovelling needless slop into your GPU driver.

So 90% of “AI” brands

Mauritius won’t get the rights to .io, it’s already held by a British corporation. Unless there’s some kind of change since then.

The top-level domains for the soviet union still exist, so io isn’t gonna go, especially since it’s so popular

A few adjustments to his policies may be necessary

>cool CPU to 0 Kelvin >CPU stops working

yeah I guess you’re right

lol nice try NZXT
