I’m going off my experience running an 18 hour livestream over HDMI with my 2015 Nikon dslr.

The limit is only true if you’re also recording to internal memory. My understanding is that it’s a European Union issue that we all have to suffer for.

I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.

It should be encrypted by default because most people don’t take care to dispose of their machines responsibly. I picked up a few machines destined for ewaste and the hard drives were full of tax returns.

I needed to make a docker image based on Core OS (RedHat) and the docker host had to be RHEL compatible. My machine is Ubuntu. To get it to work, I installed Rocky Linux on LXC and docker inside that machine. Turns out there are a lot of security settings isolating LXC and restricting nested virtualization, but fortunately Canonical posts a 20 minute video explaining how to modify the permissions for that use case. I cannot imagine virtualizing much further without the machine refusing to comply!

Did you actually get that to run or is this a fun thought exercise? It seems like a lot of nested virtualization. If you’re clever enough maybe you could get Windows > WSL > WSL Wayland compatibility layer > Ubuntu Wayland session > LXC > Fedora > QEMU > macOS > Wine > Windows app

Sonos ought to be licensing their protocol as a standard for multiroom audio to compete with airplay. Seems obvious to license it to Denon, Yamaha, etc. I’m using Yamaha MusicCast but if I were buying today I’d standardize on either Airplay 2 or Spotify Connect instead. IMO Sonos is a dead man walking.

If you need to reinstall your OS you don’t have to mess with the home drive. I use Linux for work and some of my clients actually require all data to be stored on a separate disk or partition from the applications. It also makes your backup strategy simpler and is transparent to you as a user.

2TB is too much space for an OS disk, especially since you’re not going to dual boot, so might as well get a bigger data directory and speed.

My workstation is a PCIE Gen 4 Threadripper. I’ve got a multifunction card with a couple 2TB Gen 3 NVMe drives that I striped and the bandwidth is identical to a single Gen4 4TB NVMe. Obviously you’d need a backup strategy to handle the case of a drive failing but that is true no matter what.

My workstation runs Ubuntu 22.04 with an AMD GPU, but I use an NVIDIA GPU (A4000 which is basically a 3070) for VFIO virtual machines, mostly windows. I did try Debian 12 vm with VFIO and had zero issues getting the Nvidia card set up. My VMs have secure boot /TPM enabled so no problems there either. I don’t remember the steps I took but basically disable secure boot in bios, install the proprietary driver, update the kernel, reenable secure boot. Debian was the easiest Linux distribution I tried to get set up. I also tried Ubuntu 23.10 and that worked ok. I think Fedora was OK but cannot remember. Bazzite surprisingly was a fail.

Also when all else fails, check the arch wiki. Obviously not tuned to Debian but generally most things you can figure out and the documentation is top notch.

Also wanted to mention if you’re not striping those Firecudas, definitely assign one of them to your home directory. If you do stripe, I’d create a 3.5TB home directory and leave 500 GB for / and your swap file.

Good luck.

ETA: in my experience, drivers either work right away or not at all so good news is that if your setup fails, it should fail fast, unlike windows that tries to find a workaround for janky configurations.

According too the article, you’re a vocal gamer in your 40’s or 50’s.

I still don’t see how a standalone web browser survives financially. It seems like Firefox is always near death and has to make compromising decisions. Do you have any thoughts on how this ought to work?

ARPU is a sadistic metric.

Fun Fact. 1st Gen Nissan Leaf’s have such bad battery capacity that they have no resale value but they are very popular in southeast Alaska where gas prices are high and there really isn’t anywhere to go (they are all islands) so a 60 mile range isn’t a handicap.

Are you worried that this is like when Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas but the MD businessmen shoved out the engineers who ran Boeing?

As an aside I didn’t love my Honda but it didn’t require an engine replacement out of warranty like my Nissan did. I appreciated that Nissan did the right thing but it was concerning to need a new engine due to a manufacturing defect.

It’s not a corporation anymore if it ceases to exist. Sounds like the engineers are working pro bono on this initiative.

You can use bullshit X email for bullshit social media accounts like Reddit. Sweet.

The ads on ESPN are the worst. 30 second ad to see a 20 second clip. Disrespectful.

I agree. I want the best possible experience with the least possible light when doom scrolling at 2 AM.

I like the Spotify connect feature too. I think there are snaps or flatpaks that wrap the Apple Music web page into an application icon. A desktop app is really mostly relevant if you’re using the app to manage local music files. That said the Spotify connect feature is incredibly useful.
