Not the OP, but capacity: there aren’t 20TB 2.5 drives.

(Or 18, 16, 14, 12, or 10TB ones, for that matter…)

Kinda a dead-end product since laptops are all on SSDs, and enterprises have flocked to SSDs as well and that was essentially the entire market for that size of HDD.

Probably 75% of the web is powered by PHP.

And you forgot Wordpress, which literally is 50% of the web all by itself.

I am on the dislike-PHP side of this, but you can’t deny that the whole web runs on PHP.

Honestly, I would have assumed 1080p was an acceptable default assumption.

Is this just a case of older hardware, or are there still laptops that don’t have 1080p panels at this point?

A quick review of stuff on BestBuy indicates that $150 laptops have 1080p displays now, and anything more than that does as well, so uh, what devices are still using these?

big fan of mini PC’s

Same, but just be careful if you venture outside of the “reputable” vendors.

I bought one recently from Aliexpress, and while it’s perfectly functional, it’s using an ethernet chipset that doesn’t have in-kernel drivers so I have to keep compiling new drivers for it every time the kernel upgrades.

Not the end of the world, but an annoyance that I could do without, and not something a slightly more expensive version of what I got would have.

Privacy regulations are all fine and dandy, but even with the strictest ones in place,

They’re also subject to interpretation, regulatory capture, as well as just plain being ignored when it’s sufficiently convenient for the regulators to do so.

“There ought to be a law!” is nice, but it’s not a solution when there’s a good couple of centuries of modern regulatory frameworks having had existed, and a couple centuries of endless examples of where absolutely none of it matters when sufficient money and power is in play.

Like, for example, the GDPR: it made a lot of shit illegal under penalty of company-breaking penalties.

So uh, nobody in the EU has had their personal data misused since it was passed? And all the big data brokers that are violating it have been fined out of business?

And this is, of course, ignoring the itty bitty little fact that you have to be aware of the misuse of the data: if some dude does some shady shit quietly, then well, nobody knows it happened to even bring action?

How exactly are “communities offering services” a different thing than “hosted software”?

I think what they’re saying is that the ideal wouldn’t be to force everyone to host their own, but rather for the people who want to run stuff to offer them to their friends and family.

Kinda like how your mechanic neighbor sometimes helps you do shit on your car: one person shares a skill they have, and the other person also benefits. And then later your neighbor will ask you to babysit their kids, and shit.

Basically: a very very goofy way of saying “Hey! Do nice things for your friends and family, because that’s kinda how life used to work.”

Yeah, it doesn’t appear that PSSR (which I cannot help but pronounce with an added i) is the highest quality upscaling out there, combined with console gamers not having experienced FSR/FSR2/FSR3’s uh, specialness is leading to people being confused why their faster console looks worse.

Hopefully Sony does something about the less than stellar quality in a PSSR2 or something relatively quickly, or they’re going to burn a lot of goodwill around the whole concept, much like how FSR is pretty much considered pretty trash by PC gamers.

The master-omnibus image bundles all that into a single container is MUCH simpler to deploy.

Literally just used their compose file they provide at https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/blob/master/docker/example.omnibus.docker-compose.yml and added in the device names and was done.

Are uptimekuma and whatever you’re trying to monitor on the same physical hardware, or is it all different kit?

My first feeling is that you’ve got some DNS/routing configuration that’s causing issues if you’re leaving your local network and then going through two layers before coming back in, especially if you have split horizon DNS.

For sure, just wanted to mention that it’s not just the China side of the trip you need to be vigilant about.

If your device is out of your sight, then yeah, you should probably assume it’s compromised.

Of course, that’s hardly JUST China doing funky shit with your devices, but depending where you’re calling home, odds are customs/immigration when you head home will try to do the exact same thing, too.

And the answer to everything is yes, always use a VPN if you don’t trust the network and you should never trust the network.

Judging from the last time I looked at their comment platform, it had the feeling that the only users of it were ones that were banned from Youtube because of the toxic shit they’re wanting to post so I mean, I guess, but it’s not the experience you’re wanting, probably.

Does !12345:p do what you want?

Edit: that also makes hitting the up arrow result in whatever command that was, so if you wanted to edit the line or whatever, you could !12345:p, up, then edit and execute.

Uh, are you sure your shell you’re using is bash and not zsh or something else?

Bash is indeed just !12345.

Why not save time and do it the other way?

Install the minimal/netinstall image, and then add what you need.

You’ll probably spend less time adding than trying to figure out what’s installed that you do or don’t need and trying to remove random packages without breaking anything.

two commands: dd and resize2fs, assuming you’re using ext4 and not something more exotic.

one makes a block-level copy of one device to another like so: dd if=/dev/source-drive of=/dev/destination-drive

the other is used to resize the filesystem from whatever size it was, to whatever size you tell it (or the whole disk; I’d have to go read a manpage since it’s been a bit)

the dd is completely safe, but the resize2fs command can break things, but you’d still have the data on the original drive, so you could always start over if it does - i’d unplug the source drive before you start doing any expansion stuff.

Yeah quicksync won’t help you there.

I thought nVidia’s limit was enforced by their drivers, but that’s probably changed since it’s been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).

dd then resize the fs?

Edit: one caveat here I forgot: if your fstab is using UUIDs, you’re going to have to update that, since the new drive won’t be the same UUID because, well, it’s not the same drive.

If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).

If not, well, it’ll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).

Fair, but he said he wants to move from Windows to Linux, so I just assumed there wasn’t going to be any of those since, well, they’re not going to run in Linux anyways.
