There’s plenty of garbage M.2 ssds out there with only 1 nand chip for 1TB. Pretty much any time you sort by price low to high you’ll see some of the most dire SSDs you’ve ever seen in your life. They suck too, quad chip ones are almost guaranteed to be lightyears faster.
How well does Anubis actually work though? I have no issues with getting past it using puppeteer. But I’m also just dicking around at home not crawling an entire website.
Cloudflare for sure doesn’t work very well at blocking puppeteer or anything that runs a full browser. It’ll stop things that only rip the raw web page, but if you’re running JS and even halfway trying it’s not an issue to get past. And let’s be real. Do you want a crawler ripping 300k of text, or 400MB of page + images + videos + whatever other unnecessary garbage are on modern web pages?
Comes with them, but only for legacy media. Outside of my NAS I haven’t bought a new sata drive in probably 10 years. And I haven’t touched my onboard sata ports in 5.
The fact that they’re still there impresses me at this point. But their numbers are slowly dwindling. Sata is usually the first thing that gets dropped when you need more pcie lanes. And even then most boards only have 4 at this point. They’re switching back to those god awful vertical ports which tells you all you need to know about their priority.
The phone shouldn’t be “heating up in your pocket doing nothing”. Something is running in the background that’s destroying it. Check battery usage and see what it is.
It could have been self defense.
Ruh roh, I just installed that on my main work machine today. I’ve had 7462 installed on my fucking around laptop for 2 days no problem.
Well if you want anything over 35 inches a TV is your only option. They don’t really make monitors bigger than that.
I guess the key is it has to be the same version of electron in the back end. If they change too much of it then how much memory can be shared?
Also usually cheaper components.
ITX boards tend to cost more than bigger boards, you’re limited to one slot, and usually the cases are super limited in size for heatsinks or other stuff.
Probably on older hard drives like that hardware raid won’t slow things down too much. But holy shit do hardware raid controllers suck with faster HDDs/SSDs. Also they obscure smart info from your OS so you need special software to talk to the raid controller to know if your drives are failing.
Otherwise they’re fine. If that’s what ya got that’s what ya got. Rung what ya brung.
If I had a nickle for every time something “supports Linux” but doesn’t actually work properly I’d have so many nickles.
Still to this day I cannot get reliable 6ghz wifi on my Intel NICs. Most of the time I get stuck swapping back and forth between 5 and 6 to the point that it’s slower than even 2.4. I haven’t tried the latest fedora so maybe that’s my ticket to good wifi?
But at the end of the day, there’s only one program in control of all the hardware.
Is there though? There’s a surprising amount of layers hidden away particularly in the UI. If any one of those layers fucks up then wifi no workie. There’s also like 700 programs that all do the same thing, but not all of them work. Very fun to find out that they changed X in an update and now all the automations you had set up need updating.
Maybe on a desktop with unlimited tdp available the difference is negligible. Assuming your iGPU is strong enough.
But on my laptop using the built in screen I lose about 10-15 watts of CPU power which depending on the load, halves my frame rate. simply pushing those pixels to my display uses 30+% of the IGPUs ability.
And that’s assuming that the program you want will correctly run on the GPU you want. I spend more time messing with the configs than actually using some programs all because notepad needs an rtx 4090 or a game needs intel graphics. When it’s plugged into the dgpu it always uses the “correct” GPU.
It’d be really funny if the AI bubble popped before they fully shut down Crucial.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Windows search sucks balls and does stupid stuff like this all the time. Even when it’s not a web search it might open some file named terminal and not the program terminal. It does that to me all the time at work.
So I believe the Pi 4 was the 1st to have an actual ethernet controller and not just having essentially a built in USB to ethernet adapter so bandwidth to your HDDs/ethernet shouldn’t be a problem.
Streaming directly off of the pi should be tolerable. A bit slower than a full fat computer with tons of ram for caching and CPU power to buffer things. But fine. There’s some quirks with usb connected HDDs that makes them a bit slower than they should (still in 2025 UASP isn’t a given somehow) But streaming ultimately doesn’t need that much bandwidth.
What’s going to be unbearable is transcoding. If you’re connecting some shitty ass smart TV that only understands like H264 and your videos are 265 then that has to get converted, and that SUCKS. Plex by default also likes to play videos at a lower bitrate sometimes, which means transcoding.
There’s also other weird quirks to look out for. Like someone else was (I think) doing exactly what you wanted to do, but no matter what the experience was unbearable. Apparently LVM was somehow too much compute for the pi to handle, and as soon as they switched to raw EXT4 they could stream perfectly fine. I don’t remember why this was a problem, but it’s just kind of a reminder of how weak these devices actually are compared to “full” computers.
HBAs are cheap, IPMI isn’t at all needed under normal uses cases, and ECC is way overkill.
For most people a halfway decent PC that isn’t failing is plenty.
For backups it will be fine. Same for media storage. But if you want media streaming from the device (like plex) then you’ll want something better.
The GTX 480 is efficient by modern standards. If Nvidia could make a cooler that could handle 600 watts in 2010 you can bet your sweet ass that GPU would have used a lot more power.
Well that and if 1000 watt power supplies were common back then.
That’s a very funny typo. But also kinda relevant. Lemmy’s sorting “algorithm” is just a very basic sort. There’s no personal tuning, just basic “does this post have more activity than this other one” so it’s as un addictive as it can get really. Short of purposefully trying to be bad.
