Solid works does the same thing though. Not crashing but even opening a simple model takes ages in solid works and the vast majority of things are single threaded there.

Whenever we screen share a part in solidworks, it is literally 5-10 minutes of the meeting taken up by waiting for it to complete visual operations, load things in, and assembly constrainy computing.

And you pay a shit ton of money for solidworks. Freecad also has these problems, but it is surprisingly not extremely worse than some professional cad software outside of crashing. Topo naming problem, UI, and crashing was definitely the worst thing about it. Apparently 2 of those 3 are getting fixed now.

More niche? Opensuse Kalpa.

I started running it and their are some pains like figuring out which layer to install tablet driver software, undervolting software, and kde connect. Seam flatpak still sucks dick and the tray icon for it doesn't work at all and it needs a ton of modifications to get things to where the native steam runtime just works, but still a fun experiment.

At least they have wireless charging, that is one way to fix HMDs problem of charging ports failing in the first year from shit-tier parts

Considering the capitalists have forced the world to arbitrarily measure the "economy" by measuring how willing rich people are to play in the rich man casino...

L O L "doing something different"

Epic tried to pull an Amazon.

Get VC money and chinese money and subsidize and undercut competition using anticompetitive practices to gain market share before the rug pull where they jack up their margins to the industry standard. (Everyone uses 30%, even brick and mortars except humble which is 25)

The difference is Amazon actually made a good software experience in the beginning few years and Epic spent literal years with very few feature updates and whining and burning money suing about "unfair market practices" when they were the only ones actually engaging in anti-consumer practices like paying off developers to be Epic-exclusive and buying developers and removing their games from steam. The other "different" thing that they did I guess is their CEO is an outspoken objective asshole.

They never got to the rug pull part because their actual software sucked balls and they refused to improve it so much so that someone else actually made a better launcher than them for their own products...

A physical keyboard has entered the chat

The problem I have with bug reports for things like docker containers (I will just use that example for now) is again documentation... I get that most people make really bad "it broke, fix it now" kind of reports with no detail, but unless you actually dig into and know the code, there is often almost no debugging documentation (github issue templates help with that when the devs make one)

Where are the logs? If you refuse to use the docker standard of pushing logs through the log api, don't respect the LOG_LEVEL environment variable, errors are non-descriptive, and don't provide documentation to where your logs are stored, how the hell can you expect users to provide relevant logs??

I have run into dozens of pretty big projects that fail with 0 log output and there is 0 log documentation and then the dev auto closes the issue because "not enough logs to help." The only way to find the logs is to find an old issue where the dev has laid out where the relevant logs are, like WTF? No I am not going to spend an hour looking in every single part of the undocumented directory structure to see if there happen to be logs in there. Use the standard, document your log locations and what they log (no 3ch9qjV7.log is not descriptive enough), or don't complain about not being able to help without logs.

If you want to build it yourself, you have to decide on size.

Are you trying to keep it as small as possible?

Do you want a dedicated GPU for multiple jellyfin streams? (Definitely get the Intel A380, cheap and an encoding beast)

If you don't want to start a rack and don't want to go with a prebuilt NUC, there are 2 PC cases I would recommend.

Node 304 and Node 804.

Node 304 is mini-ITX (1 PCIe slot, 1 M.2 slot for boot OS, 4 HDDs, SFX-L PSU, and great cooling)

Node 804 is micro-ATX (2 PCIe slots, 2 M.2 slots, 8-10 HDDs, ATX PSU, and 2 chambers for the HDDs to stay cool)

Why do you want a N100? Is electricity very expensive where you are that idle power is a big factor? Because desktop CPUs are more powerful and the CPUs can idle down to 10W or so without a GPU and they can have way more RAM.

Tldr; go with prebuilt NUC or go with a desktop CPU for a custom build.

How very 1932 of you.

I guess counterterrorism is just called terrorism now according to you. Looks like america, aost every every European nation, China, and many Asian nations are terrorists states to you.

So trump's fanbase using violence is completely fine then? It isn't a "presumption of violence." Maybe you haven't followed a single piece of history of the past 4 years.

Breaking into Nancy pelosi's house in an assassination attempt, physically forcing raped girls and women to risk their lives to bear a rapists child, beating up and sometimes killing trans people for using the "wrong" bathroom, hosting and rallying known terrorist groups against their political opponents, kidnapping the governor of Michigan and DNC vice chair??

Storming the fucking capitol of the US with gallows set up trying to kill politicians and the vice president??? What world do you live in where the MAGA cult is not using political violence? Seriously? Which was one of 11 damn republican terror attacks THAT MONTH.. In what world is there a "presumption of violence" when the right wing organizations have literally layed out a public plan for installing a fascist dictatorship and said that there will be blood if the rest of the country doesn't submit??

Turnout is literally everything. It is literally more turnout = Democrat win literally every single election in america. Low turnout in 2016 still resulted in trump losing the popular vote. America's voting system is messed up, but then so is UK's parliamentary first past the post system and Belgium's 6 governments.

There is also a large difference between openvpn and Wireguard.

Openvpn would cost me a few percent per day and would always be constantly retrying connection when in no service which absolutely killed my battery on the train.

Wireguard I have gotten a max of 1% ever. It seems to not have those issues.

I did this exact thing with my server. Fully encrypted with a boot partition on a USB.

Clonezilla from my encrypted SSD to another (you can also decrypt it with clonezilla before the copy if you want)

Expanded the LVM volumes

Viola, 120GB to 500GB. Spun up the docker containers and everything just worked again

As a part-time sysadmin at my small company. We use Altium and Solidworks, so we need windows.

I have 10x more windows problems than Linux problems like a bug for around 5 or so people where a windows update would disable the microphone, but every single microphone menu and setting would say it is enabled and working properly. You HAD to use their troubleshooter (which they are now phasing out, wtf) in order for it to be auto fixed. So soon it will probably be replaced by something else that won't fix the issue.

0 information online about it, 501 different way to fix audio issues, none of which work.

Nowadays the only problems that I have with Linux are slight bugs or user errors, honestly.

I think you SEVERELY misunderstand the content on YouTube and the content that pays and people watch. The average YouTube watcher is quite brain-dead.

The most profitable YouTube channels are:

• shitty Mr beast style clickbait videos
• kid cartoons
• music
• corporations

https://www.tubefilter.com/2024/02/02/top-100-most-viewed-youtube-channels-us-january-2024/

The likes of popular youtubers with good content like Tom Scott and GamersNexus do not even make the list at all.

Good channels like Stories to Old that aren't big, but well produced probably won't be able to make it at all with this setup unless they form a coalition with other small creators to pay for hosting costs and have someone with the expertise to manage it. That cost would severely cut into what they would be able to live off of.

The most likely scenario is the platform becomes a wasteland of clickbait and child-friendly clickbait because that is what gets the most watch time.

Contract of tolerance. Once broken, you're not tolerated.

My rebuttal is that I have never had arch not boot except me messing up the install 8 years ago when I was learning.

I installed a completely standard tubleweed install on a laptop, grub broke and tumbleweed wouldn't boot anymore during the first update that was recommended to me through a notification popup that brought me to an update GUI. This was just 2 years ago.

Arch you can boot by default with rEFInd. It is infinitely easier than grub, searches and finds boots by default, even if it is configured incorrectly, and has never broken once in 8 years while grub has broken many, many times. That is not an option with tumbleweed install.

There have 100% been package and dependency breakages on tumbleweed, just like arch and every single distro. It happens.

Documentation is meager at best for tumbleweed and related. Archwiki is unbeatable in that regard.

The AUR. Please, try to go install niche programs like EdrawMax, PulseView, etc... RPMs make it pretty easy after you find it. On arch it is "yay pulseview" .. "1" .. "y" .... Done.

They are all great distros with many pros and cons to each. Most people would be fine with any of them.

For example opensuse variants have btrfs with snapshot set up upon installation. That is pretty damn cool and useful!

That said, I am definitely going to try Kalpa because it is a fresh way of doing things.

Is Nix really so important to the world that it needs a constitutional assembly, a board of directors, and general elections?

I always gathered that it was a niche project within the niche of Linux distro projects.

Is it a bunch of people playing out a company governance fantasy or is it actually a large, well valued company? I think that the vast majority of people wouldn't even be able to make an informed voting decision.

I am also quite out of the loop I feel...

You needed that much time before TV to travel the US because it was so large. With the information overload age, that is definitely not a problem anymore as everyone can see every rally and debate remotely
