Is power consumption a consideration? I want my self hosted server on 24/7, so a low-power single board is much more economical for me.
Also, are resources a problem? If your game is maxing out your rig and some batch job on a self hosted service starts, that could be annoying --- or it could be a non-issue, just depends on your usage both as a desktop and a server.
I, on the other hand, enjoy all-natural pickled vegetables, which are just regular vegetables immersed in water, sodium chloride, acetic acid & trace flavors --- chemicals which act as preservatives for the vegetables sea salt and vinegar.
I get that it's a meme, but what's the problem? I'm vegetarian/flirt with veganism; it's purely for moral/ethical/environmental reasons.
Indian food is delicious. An Impossible burger on a pretzel bun dripping with grilled onions, avocado, vegan aioli and mustard with a side of steak fries? That's also delicious, in my opinion.
Meat is delicious, and that's not at all incompatible with my reasoning for being vegetarian.
I think it's "indefinite" not "undefined" (at least in English).
The reason it doesn't matter/is only used for indefinite integrals is just that it gets subtracted out when you evaluate at the limits of integration, so it always goes away (but it's still there in the antiderivative).
** talking about length scales only makes sense in reference to the specifics --- two bananas separated by 10M lightyears, with no other matter nearby, would (I'm guessing) be expanded away, but a cluster of galaxies will not.
I think the advice should be taken to heart here --- you're dealing with a userspace problem but you're trying to get the kernel to make it all better.
You've already mentioned the two big things, compressed RAM and swap; optimizing userspace (or paying for more RAM) may be the only option at some point.
If you want to get creative, is there a reason you can't use a local computer for some of these services? An old raspberry pi or similar could potentially run some of your services. You could run some containers on your home server and call it a day. Quick search turned up this https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/routing-docker-host-and-container-traffic-through-wireguard
As a general rule, if you set out to design an experiment to show that light is a wave (or a particle), it will behave as a wave (or a particle). The more fun thing is to show that it behaves as both, which can be done by utilizing sensitive detectors and exploiting interference patterns.
I think the best way of thinking about it is that it's neither. Vaguely speaking, "quantum stuff" can be described very well by math, and this math has some elements of "waveness" (think wave equations, interference) and "particleness" (think ladder operators or maybe position eigenstates). But that doesn't mean it's one, the other, or even both --- it's described by some math, and that math is agnostic as to what you call it.
In our macroscopic experience it's easy to divide the world into these two convenient buckets, but the reality is different.
Personally I think this weirdness is exploited by popsci to get more clicks, but maybe that's just my jaded opinion after years of grad school...
Or mainline that shit --- for me, "true" Linux support means drivers are in the mainline kernel, and will Just Work. Not sure I've ever had problems with drivers for an RS232 dongle on Linux, but I definitely have under Windows.
I've been eyeing an Orange Pi 5+ for my RPi4 upgrade --- think I may stick with that route, but glad to see RPi putting out another model.
My experience with RPis over the years was that the multimedia was way better supported than alternatives, but for self hosting that's not really relevant for me (headless, and don't really care about transcoding).
I'm guessing that's because you're using software decode? If you use HW decode it runs wonderfully in my experience. I could play raw 1080p h264 or VC1 Blu-ray rips over the network just fine**. You have to pay for VC1 and MPEG2 IIRC --- otherwise it will try to play in software which is no good. This was an rpi3 with Kodi on Raspbian.
Interestingly I believe they removed MPEG2 and VC1 HW support in the 4, so those files play better on a 3 than a 4. But if your media is in h264 and you use a supported player it should work great on a 4.
** I think NFS worked best, and of course over Ethernet. Maybe http also worked (iirc samba would stutter occasionally).
Also remember that --- as much as disaffected and/or malicious actors (or Simpsons and South Park, for that matter) will claim otherwise --- the two major political parties in the US are not the same.
