Arch on my desktop and laptop, Debian stable goes on everything else.

Corporate support of development, and I’m not just talking about Redhat and SUSE. Hell, Microsoft is a major contributor to the kernel.

In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.

Jesus, how bad does your sacrificial anode look?

It was revolutionary and changed a lot in game design on a significant number of fronts. It just aged poorly as others iterated and replaced its aspects. Halo has aged well mainly because (like most Bungie titles) it still feels like a modern title due to how tight, responsive, smooth, and intuitive the player’s interaction with the world is — mainly the controls and weapons.

It is and it’s certainly a better game than HL.

Not how this works.

Former attorney who now consults for corporate compliance departments/programs. I have zero formal training or professional practical experience, but tech has always been my strongest hobby. I decided to self host as much as possible almost 20 years ago starting with media libraries and email; it stemmed from a deep distrust of the tech industry.

I have been extremely happy with Unraid. It is by far the most beginner-friendly option and there isn’t an easier solution when it comes to expanding capacity. I run my nzb client and all of my *arr containers on it. My media server is on a used SFF PC I grabbed for cheap — so QuickSync can run on the bare metal. It’s been a great stack for years.

You can’t really compare RAM between iPadOS and Linux, just like you can’t compare either to Windows or Android. The schedulers and even just how the OSs use RAM is too different. This is why Android needs 2x the ram of a similar device running a different OS.

Basically all of them.

Meh, features and support aren’t free. I get your, though.

Unraid is as simple as they come and it has some features that don’t exist in normal RAID setups.

The info cards are a cancer on the internet. They exist only so you stay on Google’s page and don’t follow a link to another site.

Chrono Trigger is the best Final Fantasy game ever made.

Works great

I don’t recall. I was able to use Discord on my phone and play Helldivers 2 on my Steam Deck with friends without issue, though.

I just spent a couple weeks 2,000 miles from my physical PiHoles and was connected to them via StarLink. The latency was not perceptibly different from that when I am on site with the boxes.

Yeah, there’s a lot of competition in SBC these days. People seem to like the OrangePi lineup and some others.

“Right now” for Pi inflation has been since like 2016. This is just their price now.
