Just as gas prices start to spike and we’re likely nowhere near the peak. Great timing.

Can’t wait to create all my accounts using the Unix epoch.

Still fucking stupid and just a slow creep towards some bullshit like “kernel level age verification” where most Linux distros can’t possibly comply because the chip manufacturers won’t work with developers to certify unless they pay a $10,000 fee.

Perfect code right here:

Humans want to accomplish things, but business wants to get shit done. The two will always be at odds.

I hate this lazy coding approach. I see it at my work all the time where people keep proposing agents that do exactly what some of our tools already do, just slower, with more resources, and nondeterministic.

For pure energy efficiency it’s hard to beat an SBC (raspi, rockpi). Mine does a good job with Jellyfin streaming so long as I avoid transcoding.

They didn’t explicitly say but it sounds like the JPEG solution can’t put out a substantial FPS. If you start to do fancier stuff like sending partial screenshots or deltas only then you get the same issues as H264 (you miss a keyframe and things start to degrade). Also if you try and put out 30 JPEGs per second you could start to get TCP queuing (i.e. can’t see screenshot 31 until screenshot 30 is complete). UDP might have made this into a full replacement but as they said sometimes it’s blocked.

As far as vim goes I’ll say it’s not really necessary to learn but it’s a good tool to have in your belt. I once tried to print the manual to vim but noped out after about 100 pages. I’d say learn how to navigate, edit, copy-paste, find and replace text in vim. You could go all the way to do crazy things like running a CLI command from within vim and put the result into the editor but from a desktop environment it isn’t as helpful compared to simply having two terminal instances open.

Oh, hell yes! I’ve been looking for something almost exactly like this!

Only if you promise not to pay for it.

I’m mostly amazed that they discovered it. When I think of a good transition distro this is not what comes to mind. Must have been some kind of targeted ad campaign. Also there’s probably a ton of people that think no good software could possibly be free.

They fucked up by making their robots last seemingly forever, due to the fact they spy on you and get stuck every 15 mins so you never want to turn them on.

What about multiple Pis? Seriously asking. I love having a Pi as a dedicated server (small footprint, low energy, low temp). Do I really need to switch to a more traditional ITX/ATX form factor to get real reliability?

The many fluids, the heat, the vibrations, the pistons, the belts, the transmission, the exhaust, the alternator. ICE vehicles are controlled chaos!

Let’s be honest, not all races are equal<br> 🫲🍊🫱

The Ryzen 2600 has a TDP of 65W. With a CPU with 35W TDP maybe a passive cooler like the Noctua NH-P1 would work. Still really hard to beat the efficiency of an ARM chip.

Be aware you might have to resort to nftables if firewalld doesn’t work. I use localhost a lot and the routing rules are different in that case.

Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.
