  • Couldn’t figure out how to access my headless server’s desktop environment via VNC without a monitor connected and turned on. I bought a hardware displayport dummy adapter to pretend to be a real display to get it to work.

    A hardware solution to a software problem… felt really wrong.

    I’ve since wrapped my head around tmux and managing all my services via command-line or web-ui so I have no need for it anymore.









  • Wouldn’t go for a full ARM64 system (yet anyway). Too many software incompatibilities. You can pick up the lenovo m-series tiny machines used for dirt cheap and have full x86 compatibility and way faster specs + expandable storage/ram for (m93p tiny, m700, m720 etc). They’re a little bigger than a rpi and use a bit more power but it will save a ton of headaches.

    Making the switch to any linux distro is a big jump already, you don’t want to create unnecessary problems.

    The fact it can output a 120Hz signal doesn’t mean the processor is making every frame. Many AAA games will be performing at well under 120fps especially in scenes with lots of action.

    It’s not limited to 30fps like the other poster suggested though, I think most devs try to maintain at least 60fps.



  • It’s always crazy to me that a kettle isn’t a standard kitchen item in NA (assuming that’s where you are).

    They’re so cheap and so useful for so many things besides tea and it takes aaaages to get water to boil on a hob for any kind of cooking. Pasta, ramen, soups, sauces, hot water bottles, cleaning anything difficult.

    But then again because of the 110V vs 240V situation, they take twice as long to boil in NA vs Europe so maybe it is more comparable to microwaving or boiling on the stove so they seem less useful.
