Yeah definitely not ideal. I wish it was clean with 0 ads.

I love my News+ subscription. Lots of great things to read and no clutter.

Anyone on Lemmy play this game? Is it any good?

Looks to me like another moba copy and paste.

Very excited about this. Some strategy games are a pain to play with the controller (Cities: Skylines, Stellaris, Dune: Spice Wars).

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Ah yeah that makes sense—I get it now. I think I couldn’t imagine how deep the plug would need to be compared to the pencil circumference.

I think my brain was expecting the plug to be mounted like it was on the Gen 1 pencil. I guess I thought the angle was weird because I couldn’t see how a plug’s depth would fit in the small cylindrical pencil shape. I see how it could work now from this photo: https://i0.wp.com/www.seriousinsights.net/wp-content/uploads/Zagg-Pro-Stylus-Charging.jpg

Can you eli5?

I don’t think I understand what you mean.

What would the reverse proxy do in this situation?

Can you post your scripts?

Have you ever had to cut your network?

Me too. And inconvenient.

I mean…

I gotta say, I really hate it when people say this statement.

That’s a pithy saying, but the cloud is a totally different model than a “computer”.

The concept of “cloud” (generally) has its own way of interacting with tooling, it’s got a huge economy of scale that brings resiliency, a ton of interconnected services, etc. There’s more to it than just computers.

That’s like saying “the Highway doesn’t exist, it’s just someone else’s driveway.”—yeah, but there’s more to it than just streets.

You might want to transfer your domain to another registrar. I use namecheap and they have a “catch all” option that’s free to use. You just set a single forwarding email and everything sent to your domain arrives there.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted here, but you’re right about this one and that’s what the video concludes.

Not sure if there’s a rackable case/mod for the Mac Studio, but the Mac Pro also has a rackable form factor (like a server) that some shops might like: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-pro/rack

This upgrade could fit Apple silicon into an existing audio/video workflow for some design/editing companies.
