If too many people do this, you bet “smart” TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.

No one mentioned the Solaris convention yet ?

/dev/cXtXdXsX

The letters mean controller, SCSI target, disk and slice (Solaris equivalent to a partition).

I always thought this was the most elegant naming scheme in the Unix world.

I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

I could say the same about Microsoft.

That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like “Freeginx”. IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

I define “retro” as anything made before an average Army Private was born, so about 19-20 years. By this standard, games released in the early 80’s were retro when the current generation of Privates was born, so how do we call that ? I propose the term “paleogaming” for those.

For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

I’m waiting for the Contacts manager. Untill then I’ll keep using the last “good” (pre-sale) version of Simple Contacts.

But don’t worry, take your time.

Try installing GOG Galaxy with Wine (Lutris can do it for you easy) and run Necrobarista from Galaxy, this should take care of displaying the achievement.

If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they’re not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.

You can use Lutris to launch the gane directly, either natively or using Wine, but only for games that don’t implement Steam’s DRM. For the ones that do, Lutris would still have to launch Steam before the game runs.

The only pins that carry power on a PCIe slot are the ones before the 1st notch, those are covered by the slot. all the other are data and low voltage and current limited, so there’s very little risk. On top of that, OP protected those pins with kapton tape to be extra sure.

Using larger PCIe cards on 1x slot is more common than you think and perfectly safe.

It’s clear the original was made before all those sites enshittified into their current forms. That’s why it mentions Vine instead of TikTok, which is notable for having been enshittified from day 1.

To dislodge an incumbent, a product needs to have an enormous advantage, a killer feature that makes the hassle of changing worth it. Up until now, Linux didn’t have it. Well, it did, but Windows had it too, but Microsoft dropped it: lack of ads baked on the OS.

Now that Windows is turning into yet another Ad delivery system, people are looking for an escape. Many are going to Macs, some are coming to Linux.

The hardware was never a joke, it’s just that the drivers were pretty bad at the beginning, but they improved them to the point where it’s competitive with a 3050 in gaming (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6sHUNBxVg) and in video encoding/decoding, it matches and sometimes gets ahead of the more expensive 3060 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98KiTx4Vh7o)

Go for RAM size. Video editing uses a lot of it.

Don’t bother with the X3D CPUs, video editors don’t benefit from the extra cache, the problem with the stacked dies is that it makes moving heat out of the CPU harder, so they tend to run at lower clock speeds, so with a normal CPU, you’ll get a little bit more performance on video tasks, while the hit on gaming performance will be minimal, especially if you play at higher resolutions where the GPU will be the limiting factor.

As for storage, get an NVMe that’s big enough to store the games you’re playing and the video project you’re working at the moment, so access is quicker. for other projects and games you don’t play often, put them on an HDD or NAS with 10Gb Ethernet.

As for graphics cards, Nvidia has better video encoding than AMD at the moment and great gaming performance, but don’t dismiss Intel Arc, they’re entry-level for gaming, but have a stellar performance in video encoding. Considering the price difference between AMD and Nvidia, you could pretty much buy an RX 7900XTX and an Arc A750 for the same price of an RTX 4080, so you could use one for gaming and the other for encoding. The advantage of this is that you could play games on the AMD card at the same time the encoding is running on the Intel.

You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:

• You expose the port used by the backend/API with a “ports:” setting on the compose file
• Expose the socket used by the ytproxy container using a volume that points to a directory in the host

You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.

TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.
