It’s a similar idea to how some RAID configurations work.

I just learned this on 2.5 Admins.

Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

Radarr and sonarr. And any other software based on that codebase.

I had so many OSX and Final Cut Pro DVD-Rs. And Adobe CS.

Nowadays I just use FOSS alternatives. Pirated software isn’t worth the risk anymore IMO.

Damn.

Prairie provinces are great if you don’t mind the cold. Totally underrated.

The whole point is that it’s open source and they want people to be able to print them themselves.

I primarily use Libre Wolf but playing back hdr videos in Plex might just be easier to use Chromium than mpv.

If you have a car with a CD player, I’d recommend burning some CDs. It’s so refreshing having a small collection of banger CDs to choose from. Not to mention that you can insert and eject without being too distracted.

Some governments have been starting this transition already.

Also shredder was kinda cool, even if evil.

Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.

I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

It’s funny, I’ve heard this so many times. And read through the docs. But I’m a mad lad who has auto updates (I know!) and have never had an issue with Immich.

That is a danger but definitely not the biggest danger. The biggest danger of people becoming romantically involved with AI is that people will be romantically involved with AI.

Not to mention that a removable back plate would eliminate the waterproof and dust-proof seals that I have come to appreciate quite a bit over the years.

and it is also the worst.

While you’re at it consider using docker.
