Being actually able to saturate 25/25G is anything but an easy task, unless you have the money to buy enterprise degree hardware. So I ended up building my own router. The CPU, the network card and the 25G SFP+ were the expensive parts. But I managed to stay around $1200 with second hand hardware. Before that with 1G or 10G I used the Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro.

Unfortunately only available in Switzerland:

Lol. Got 25/25G for $74/month.

At the end of the day, the distribution is not that important for gaming, unless you need those 1-2 extra fps. Debian is a very good choice for workstations nowadays. I was a long time OpenSUSE user, always had joys with Debian, but yesterday switched to Garuda Linux (Arch variant optimized for gaming) and I love it so far very much.

Imagine hating chiropractors so much you have to downvote a true fact without spending a second looking it up yourself.

I recently learned that chiropractors in Switzerland are very different. They are all medical doctors and need to fulfill strict requirements so they can work as chiropractor. It is also a common thing here to go to chiropractors and I have never heard of any accidents.

Nice, glad to hear! If you get stuck, feel free to message me!

As I have no idea what level of knowledge you have in IT, it might be hard to understand. I try to keep it ELI5. Years ago, if you wanted to run software, you had to buy a PC/server, which meant you had to buy all the hardware for it. As hardware development continued, things like CPU‘s suddenly got faster and were able to handle multiple tasks at once. So people had to come up with ways to share this power between different software components. For various reasons, you didn’t want to install everything on the same operating system, to avoid compatibility issues. The ideas of Virtual Machines and Containers was born. The key difference between those two concepts is, that in VM‘s, you have a full operating system running the software. In Containers, you share the operating system base, but the containers itself are isolated.

So, docker is providing an easy way to manage containers. Since the container itself does not have that much overhead in terms of „blocked resources“, we can create one container per application we want to run. One for Sonarr, one for Radarr, etc.

Since docker is running on Linux kernels, is there a way for you to have a Linux server? Or could you maybe install Linux in a VM?

Agree with this comment. Use docker. In the beginning a little bit more complex, but if used properly, you never have to care about updating anymore. @OP if you need some help, I can give you some advice and my Docker Compose file.

Now do the same thing with Google Bard.

Can this be used to find a good seed and then use it on classic SDXL? Or would the results be different?

I‘m Swiss and I couldn’t agree more.

So I‘m a Synology user for years (currently a DS921+ with a DX517 extension) and use it mainly to store movies/shows.

For you here are some things that might be useful to know:

• Consumer NAS are massively underpowered in terms of CPU and RAM. Both is needes if you run a few Docker containers. Especially the transcoding of media files is very CPU intensive.
• using a very small „compute“ node, like an Intel NUC, takes care of this problem. I run all Docker containers on this one, while I use the NAS only as storage.
• Consumer NAS are super easy to setup and also to scale, in case you need more diskspace.
• I was never a big fan of Plex for various reasons. I use Emby and I‘m very happy about it. I also hears many good things about Jellyfin

Not all heat pumps have an air filter. Those operated outdoors usually don‘t have any.

Thanks for elaborating, this is really much appreciated.

Oh it was never my intention to use it, but I was playing a bit with OpenAL and HRTF and ended up on a webpage that actually was using FTP to provide some audio files. So I kinda had no other choice.

The video thing is actually a known issue, but might be due to OpenSUSE not providing codecs by default. I still wonder why Chromium was working, though.

Generally curious how that would work. So how/why should a distro do that?

The port issue is a common one if you google it and I even had it in windows. The variable is empty because you set the exceptions there. No value = all ports are blocked.

Kinda agree, sure it is also a distro issue. Chromium-like browsers worked out of the box, though. In the end, the user should not really experience easy-to-fix problems like „I can‘t watch any Twitch streams“, and I‘m not really on a uncommon distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed).

Edit: About the blocked ports, check the following variable in your about:config

network.security.ports.banned.override

This one needs to be set, if you would like to use ports, such as 8080.

But in some cases you don’t want to use arbitrary addresses, but the exact same that was used to send you an e-mail. For me this is necessary and Simplelogin hides my real e-mail address. Additionally, I can with ease deactivate addresses and minimize spam by a lot.

I love firefox so much, but at times, I also am ready to ditch it. Some default configurations are just nothing but stupid. E.g.: all ports above 1024 are by default blocked, even with local domains in your LAN. Or, just happened today: ftp is generally blocked. I then had to switch to Chromium to get a file. Or: if on Linux, many video codecs are not by default bundled. Reasons like that make me hate Firefox. But I hate everything else a bit more.

So is there a browser based on Firefox but without strict configs?
