  • So not tough at all, considering recent complete 180's on precedence based on whether it suits their agenda.

    Sounds about right.

    It's hard to believe the Fl supreme Court has any ethics. Considering what they've pushed through with education, diversity training, etc., etc.

    The 5 that came in through DeSantis are all heavily conservative. One of whom is married to a representative who wrote the bill for the 6 week ban, and refused to recuse himself. Not to mention having put forth his own anti-choice bans (mostly nonsensical partial birth abortion bans, which isn't a thing) in the 90's.

    Another one has a husband elected to the oversight board for Disney.

    I really think you're overestimating their ethics and underestimating the lengths they will go.

    Edit: autocorrect typo, refuse/recuse.

  • Does that really sound like a big hurdle? Or more like... Stepping over a small twig?

    Edit: to be clear here, they are selected by a commission that the governor creates, which makes a recommendation list to the governor to select from. Of the 7 justices, 5 of them became justices during Desantis' time as governor.

  • For lots of services that require little CPU and ram, I use tiny/mini/micro PCs, bought used. I get them for anywhere from $100-$400, and usually all I do is drop in an SSD. That includes Linux VMs when I'm testing distros or deployment on a distro, since 32gb ram on the host is more than enough to leave 4-8gb ram to the VM.

    For some heavier applications, I also have a 4RU case stacked with drives, which I use as a third NAS (VM with drives passed through), large DBs, etc. Its just a 1700x with 64GB ram, and that's plenty.

    For most things (DNS, a few web servers, git, grafana, Prometheus, rev proxies, Jenkins, personal fdroid repo, homepage, etc) I just use the tiny/mini/micro's. Imo, you can't go wrong with those for your services, and a big case with spare parts and lots of drives for your NAS. Especially at the price you mentioned. Just remember you can separate your services easily, so don't focus on getting everything in one spot, you can make your requirements (and cost) go up quickly.

  • Agreed, I prefer trunk with native to the vlan for services, each container that the reverse proxy will hit in its own vlan (or multiples for differing sets of services, but I can be excessive).

    I'd block any traffic initiated from that vlan to all others, and I'd also only allow the specific ports needed for the services. Then fully open initiated from the general internal vlan.

  • A few reasons:

    • Any conversion (including internally at the display) can result in colorspace mismatches.
    • If the sink has an unsupported mode, the source will send a default - which is usually a mismatch.

    I wouldn't call it often wrong, personally. I'd say some devices are really bad with EDIDs, and are consistently problematic. It's more like -recent hardware is generally pretty good, but relying entirely on EDID won't always work, so use with care.

    Some great examples of problematic devices/situations (in general):

    • Apple. Pretty much anything they make.
    • DP to HDMI - while DP supports HDMI natively, that can be one of the situations where EDID issues crop up. But much less often than....
    • DVI to HDMI or vice versa - this is probably the most problematic of general use. Happens somewhat often where a different or default colorspace gets used.

    If you've got a single PC going to a display (or several), just set it once manually and you're good to go. If you're plugging and unplugging often with multiple devices (like with a dock), an EDID minder can be handy, but come with a price that generally makes setting it manually preferred anyway.

    Hope this helps answer for you

  • Only reason I still have prime is simple - diapers. I save enough on them alone to justify it. But once that's done (another year-ish), I don't think it will be worth it anymore.

    And yet, I still don't use prime video. It's just not a good experience, and obviously getting worse. And as I have kids, the management of what I'm ok with them seeing is way easier on JF than prime video.

  • Yeah, if you had the storage I'd say use an Ethernet dongle on the phone, wire up Ethernet on the laptop (as long as it's not a USB 2 dongle that you'd need :) ), transfer over network that way and give yourself some easier transport than wifi....

    But in your case, yeah wifi is the right call.

    My workflow for reference, I've got a dock that supports 3.2gen2, so I connect my phone up there. I've got 1 gig on the dock, and I copy over to my NAS (4x1gbit in LAG), and with the dock having USB for mice/keyboard use it's easy peasy. Once backed up, new phone to the dock, and go the other way.

    Most files are already backed up though, with the NAS and my self hosted services, so it's mostly a single instances backup and not much to copy back.

  • Got it, checking their list of compatible apps...

    Worst case you could connect to Strava as a go-between should polar be far behind on health connect (again, doubt they would be).

    But checking the coospo compatibility, it seems there are a ton of them that all support health connect with coospo, so you wouldn't be shut out even if health connect wasn't ready for Polar, you'll have a ton of options. Including using polar to sync to something that syncs via health connect.

    Which is kind of what I do btw, aside from the app for the completely irregular use case I mentioned, I sync polar to Strava, Strava to Fit via health connect. I do that because fairly often I am using polar while cycling, so that's how I want my data to go. But I then found strength training shares nicely too, and running polar beat and my workout app, I can track all my workout routine items (jefit), which syncs via health connect, and then polar goes to Strava goes to health connect, and it all shows as a single session with great HR data.

    So yeah, you'll be fine.

  • Tool libraries are libraries, not rentals.

    So no, they aren't saying renting is the same thing as a library. They are saying libraries offering more services are a great way for you to save money by not buying a tool you only need once or for a day here and there over the years.
