Yep, compression is on and I think that's what does it considering how large games are these days. I stay away from XFS, every time I have used it in the past my entire drive have ended up scrambled within a few months. It's by fa

Been a Linux gamer for years now and I think you are correct on your frame rate observations in general. If you use ZFS (single nvme) then you can beat windows load times by a fairly large margin. My husband and I have identical hardware fo

The requirements usually don’t come from IT. It’s usually on the checklist for some audit that the organisation wants because it lowers insurance premiums or credit card processing fees. In some cases it’s because an executive believes it w

Games are not immune to bad code. Many gamers are unhappy with the performance of modern games as fewer and fewer of them can manage 60 fps at release on even high-end hardware.

I stopped going to StackOverflow years ago as it was always a case of the question I needed answered was always closed with the reason of being a duplicate of something subtly different in a very important way that made the answer completel

Yeah, just a shame their API is consistently overloaded to the point of being useless most of the time (from about midday till late for me).

I don't really have a use for this particular software, but I wanted to add my +1 to pay once self-hosted Sofware. It's such a great model for the customer and I have bought software with that model even when there were free open-

It's a pretty simple setup. I run Alpine Linux with ZFS, all apps are in docker containers managed with docker-compose, Caddy for reverse proxy, borgmatic/borg for backup, and some scripts managing zfs snapshots.

Time is pretty much the reason.

I have got 26 docker containers running on it. Looking at current utilization, it's 6% of cpu, 10GB ram out of 16gb. The issue is disk access. The thing has total shit bandwidth to storage, this was a surprise to me and a bit of a lear

I have a large dvd collection from before streaming was really a thing, but yeah I just get blu-rays of the movies I really like. Most of the movies I watch is ones I have already watched. I was really only watching 1-2 movies a month that

I keep important data on a zpool that's mirrored across 2 drives, I snapshot it nightly, zfs send/receive the snapshot a drive on a different machine, and run a borgmatic/borg backup to borgbase 3 times a week. I also run a s

YouTube is a bit of a problem. I feel like it costs about double of what it should be, but I also think that content creators should be paid, and I absolutely hate ads.

I got a smartwatch with a cell connection, some good earbuds and started going to the gym, then I learned that their watch app is complete garbage. It refuses to play the music I want, either playing something else or nothing at all. It wil

Music disappearing is really annoying.

That's great to hear, Navidrome is on the top of my list to checkout when I get to music (currently doing movies).

I don't know. I was dumb enough to move my entire photo library into Lightroom cloud back when they released that. It's a nightmare. It's pretty easy to export the photos, you get them down organized by date and photos with e

This, if you have some favorites or just movies that remind you of your youth, don't wait, go get them on dvd now. It gets harder and more expensive the longer you wait. I have been hunting down the movies that I was watching when grow

Sure, but they also got a cut from all of those dvds I bought before streaming services was a thing or the new dvds/blu-rays I am picking up now. I mostly watch movies I have already seen before, but with the fragmentation and constant

My initial though was to not bother with backup, I still have the DVDs/Blu-rays if the HDD dies, but with the amount of time it takes to load in I changed my mind on that.

In general I use Borg/Borgmatic with borgbase for backup, but movies are a little big, so for now I am just using zfs send/receive to keep a copy on a usb drive updated. Once I am done getting the encoding pipeline scripted (av1&#

Emby just felt more polished and focused while Jellyfin felt like it was on the path towards feature bloat. Also, I had more confidence in Emby supporting future devices I might get than Jellyfin. When it comes to supporting multiple media

Self-hosting stuff is awesome if you have the skills. I have been on a mission for the last 2 years to replace as many subscriptions as possible with self-hosted solutions. The subscriptions really had gotten out of hand, it had gotten to a

I used to run FreeBSD on my home server and switched it over to Alpine Linux (with ZFS) because everything I wanted to run came as a docker containers and it was just easier to use docker compose to manage all the apps.

The average internet user is never going to pay for search. Trying to target them would likely be a mistake.

In most organizations there is no point in a sysadmin to spend the effort in understanding how to set it up correctly as Marketing has got more authority on email. Marketing will simply demand changes to the config that they do not understa

I really don’t get why you would want to serve security.txt, it just invites an avalanche of automated spam.

"bus factor" is just a side benefit of having a larger dev team. The idea is if someone gets run over by a bus then you still have someone who "knows" the code to train the replacement.

They were talking about logged in accounts, so you would group by accounts for the rate limiting and not by ip addresses.
