Tbh those things are great little thin clients to leave near your couch, despite their age

DAS enclosures are super easy to set up. Disk won’t be a big issue if you go that route.

If you’re planning on running containers, tbh I would not. The required virtualization layer (due to macOS being BSD-based) is going to make containers WAY less efficient. You’re better off with a system you can easily slap proxmox (or whatever distro floats your boat) on.

Codeberg is pretty legit

Are you aware that the salute to which you’re referring was used for only a short while before they got rid of it, and that the saying has additional rich history beyond what you’re referring to, both before and after it was used by Ukrainian nationalists in the Second World War, and is generally accepted as a slogan of national pride and resistance to tyranny these days?

I try to stay away from getting overtly (geo)political in technical communities like this, but in this case, it’s the very nature of the article. And Linus himself underlines this fact:

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.

We do not live in a vacuum. World events affect real people. Sometimes, it is necessary for even ideally apolitical groups to respond. This is one of those times. Слава Україні.

As someone who’s worked in the VoD industry: it is.

There was a two-generation long lithography issue that they had not been able to solve. You are grossly understating the technical scope of the problem, as well as the trust issues Intel themselves created with the way they handled the whole debacle.

I’m not ever going to buy a 13/14 gen Intel core unless it’s at absolute bargain basement prices. In a professional IT context, nobody in purchasing departments should be buying the impacted SKUs in the affected date range (and practically, that means “they won’t buy those SKUs, full stop”).

…it’s a paid subscription service that the base os nags you to upgrade to?

Huh. That’s actually pretty cool. Not my favorite distro these days for several reasons, but that aside, it’s great to see more robust support on ARM laptops.

Huh, really? Is there that much of a perf hit using passthrough? I’d have assumed that the bottleneck isn’t actually the PCIE, so much as it is the beefiness of the GPU crunching the model.

Bro this is a community for sharing knowledge and increasing the technical aptitude of fellow users by doing said sharing. Maybe instead of shitting on a pretty solid digest of the fundamentals of setting up something like this, try adding to the body of knowledge instead.

Eh. Do they still have Ubuntu Pro ads in the update UI? If so: stop, then I’ll care.

Wtf are you talking about. PCIe passthrough exists.

git commit -am "no u"

I anticipate the used value for those gens is going to drop quicker than a Mercedes CL65AMG

Right? I feel like this has a lot of Old Internet vibes

Not to mention, iirc you should get a bit of a perf bump for the GPU due to AMD’s Infinity Cache, so long as you roll with (iirc) Zen2+ and RDNA2+

I want to see the neofetch output lol

That all makes sense - I guess at this point, I’m simply trying to offer some constructive criticism about how to present nuanced problems that involve both hardware and software gremlins in a way that you’ll get the most productive conversation and interaction from the user base here.
