If you dont need the drive to be fast and want best bang for your buck storage capacity, HDD is the way to go.
If you want speed and are ok with a higher price, SSD is best. Used enterprise HDD are usually a good value. Im in the US so not sure about where to purchase exactly.
Something to consider is if the drive you are storing the os and files on are the same, using am HDD will make it slower on start up.
Yea you’re not wrong. Kinda fed up with most smartphone manufacturers these days. Its all so restrictive. And to your point that Google is one of the only manufacturers that allows the bootloader to be relocked, thats for now. No telling what will happen in the future which is another part of my issue.
At one point i was considering making a small pc out of a raspberry pi or something to replace my phone just cause i dont like the way phone manufacturing in general is going lol.
Kinda silly but i still think about it.
Thats pretty cool! My only gripe is I dont really wanna buy a pixel phone and I think there are unofficial roms for other android devices but idk if its worth the hassle.
I dont use Graphene OS but my understanding was that it allows the user to sandbox Google play apps: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
So this gives Google play less access than it normally would. I think thats probably the biggest draw of it other than security updates for longer periods of time for older hardware i imagine.
Again, I’m not a user of it so i cant say for sure but I’ve beem interested in trying it out as it seems up my alley as I’m getting more pivacy conscious as the years go by.
Its $60 for a personal/small bussines use and a great daw. Would recommend. But whatever daw works best for you is great too :)
I’m a huge fan of reaper. Nice clean daw for a good price imo. It being cross platform was a bonus. I started making music on Windows and the best part of switching to Linux was that reaper just works after figuring out how the hell to install it lol. Some Linux stuff im ok at but im still figuring things out.
And same here. I’m a self pianist like my grandfather was. I really like addictive keys for playing piano and was happy to see the standalone version works with bottles. But without yabridge setup, i haven’t been able to make much recently.
Ive been looking to find a replacement for addictive keys thats native to Linux or works well at least.
As soon as they announced ads were gonna be in the start menu, i noped out of windows. I only use it for work which doesn’t bother me because im not doing anything private on my work pc.
I switched to Fedora 40 with KDE and never looked back. My only real gripe is with making music. Getting the VSTs to work and setting up yabridge is kind of a headache that i still need to do 😮💨 aside from that, Linux has been my daily driver for quite a while now and im happy i switched even though im still learning.
I second this.
I started learning Google app script for work and while its not exactly traditional programming like most folks would do, i can now look at javascript and have a basic understanding of whats going on.
I learned a ot by doing. And with the help of ai, i was able to learn concepts, syntax, the best way to do this or that at least to a degree.
Just trying to make something is the best way. Make a tool to make your life easier. Like if you have a repetitive task that you dont want to do each time, make a script that does it for you.
No fucking way
This is the second time today ive looked something up and found it to be true.
Ah ok, thats pretty cool. I dont do much torrenting anymore cause my internet is not only limited but is kinda slow and unsteady.
Might check that out once im back in civilization with a decent connection. I miss gigabit speeds man.
Yea the real fun is always the set up when selfhosting. Then you look for the next project lol.
Im not familiar with gluetun, is that what you’re using to download tracks or something?
I personally really liked using jellyfin and finamp. Both were pretty great once i figured out how to set it up lol.
The issues i had were due to my lack of knowledge and trying to set things up to use it outside of my home network. Jellyfin itself was great as was finamp when i used them.
Now thats something I’d slap on my resume. Hope you get a bonus or something for saving your company money cause it’d be well deserved.
Oh so its not just me who thinks its gotten worse then. I was starting to go a little crazy man. It seems like its slowly gottwn worse over time. I wonder if its due to the amount of ai content messing up seo ratings or something
GTA Online’s latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones.
This app “lets you easily request vehicles, claim all outstanding business safe earnings, and replenish ammo on your in-game phone.” Collecting cash from your businesses in GTA Online has always been a bit of a pain, and being able to do it from your phone instead is obviously a massive improvement. The catch, of course, is that it’s only available to GTA+ subscribers paying $8 a month (thanks, GamesRadar+).
Lol prompts are important for sure. Me and my boss often talk about what you can do with chatgpt when we use it at work amd what kind of prompts we use.
Most models that I’ve played with are only about as good as what you put into it. If you ask it the right questions in the right way, you can get pretty good results.
GPT3.5 has worked well for me. I’ve also run AI on my pc locally using Ollama and lots of different models. Most do well with simple questions or requests.
Llama 3 instruct is what I’ve liked the most so far.
From my understanding, a lot of the products on amazon are resellers that buy stuff from alibaba and then resell it at a markup so it would not surprise me if that was the case.
They all looked the same when i was last on there searching for one.
I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was “rated” for 800 sq ft.
Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.
Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!
Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.
I said “Nothing. Make a better product”
It will effect your health but having most “bad” foods in normal amounts every once in a while won’t really hurt you. Any effect would be minimal at worst so long as you dont have preexisting health conditions. If you already have high blood pressure or a heart condition, energy drinks are probably not a good idea.
