Beyond moderation, Phoronix is a case study in why downvotes are a good thing. Those idiots going on dumb tangents would continue, while the rest of us can read the actual worthwhile comments (which does happen, given AMD employees and the like comment there sometimes).

nixos-anywhere also works well for this use case.

four- or five-episode series.

It was six episodes. That’s how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.

Popularity has little to do with quality. And that applies to iMessage as much as WhatsApp, Facebook, or any of the other communication channels that dominate due to network effects and switching costs.

It’s mostly normal Android from what I can tell. There’s also Kobo where all of their devices are Linux based, although it’s more of an embedded Linux system with limited flexibility, but you can install koreader on them along with some other mods.

And there’s the Onyx Boox series which run Android as well, although they seem to have retired most of their B/W devices.

You could try headscale instead, which doesn’t actually pass much traffic between the VPS and clients (client to client is where the actual data transfer happens).

Or just test out regular hosted Tailscale to see if it will fit your needs.

Another case is listing a huge number of steps to do some task, without acting describing what the end goal for each set of instructions is (common in “how to” guides, and especially ones that involve a GUI).

This means that less technical users don’t really understand what is going on and are just following steps in a rote way, and it wastes the time of technical users since they probably know how to achieve each goal already.

There is a case to be made that people should be a bit more well rounded in general, and not just find a specific niche.

So non-technical people should still have a decent familiarity with computers and maybe be able to do some very basic coding. And technical people should spend some time working on their written and verbal communication.

Because in both cases, it makes people more effective in their roles.

I had a similar experience with NixOS-anywhere and a VPS issue. Reset the OS, setup SSH key access and ran NixOS-anywhere and within like 15 minutes was back up and running.

I was going to say you could use a smartphone with the Jellyfin app to control it, but it looks to be limited (just the actual launching of videos not play/pause etc).

and the measurement is something like 10-15DB per drive

It seems to be a relative measurement, and so the values look to be 10-15dB above ambient, not the absolute dB of the drives. You can see he subtracts the background dB from the spl meter calibration early in the video.

Sounds like a bug, but I’d start by making sure to change the default audio output, and not the app specific audio output. I don’t know what desktop environment you’re using, but you can start by installing pavucontrol and set the fallback/default device in the output devices tab. Then when you need to change the output, change the fallback again.

You can also make changes with key bindings using the commandline app.

Since you’re using Nobara, I’ll assume it’s using pipewire and not pulseaudio. If the problem turns out to be a bug, you can post a bug report here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues

It was particularly bad with XI and the graphical downgrade (due to being based on the Switch version). So there effectively isn’t even a definitive version.

Using amdgpu on that card has been considered experimental ever since it was added like 6 years ago

If I recall right, it hasn’t been enabled by default simply because it is missing some features like analog TV out support (which most people don’t want or need in 2024).

They’ll supply a giant paper manual, and you’ll have to look through it to find the key. DRM, 1980s style.

I think that’s reasonable, and is the impression I have of FUTO as well. I’m using their Android keyboard at least and have been impressed by it (although I don’t have demanding needs).

It’s commonly used by spammers, so it could cause issues if you’re planning to use it for mail.

Do you need 6Ghz as well? Because I don’t think there are any that OpenWRT supports yet.

The Flint 2 suggestion is reasonable, although the firmware situation is currently a bit problematic with the stock version using an out of date Openwrt version due to issues with the open source drivers. But it should get resolved in the long run.

Unless something has changed recently, OPNSense doesn’t have an ARM build so it won’t work on the Pi4.

If you want to use the PI as a router you’ll probably end up with a double NAT situation which isn’t ideal but may work well enough. In terms of wifi performance, I wouldn’t expect a Pi to be particularly good here so I’m not sure this even worth it unless it’s just a budget issue and you don’t have any other options.

In terms of your problem, you should be able to assign the Pi ethernet port to the default WAN and WAN6 networks. As for wifi, the Pi adapter needs to have support for AP mode, and looking around it doesn’t seem clear if the built in wifi adapter supports that or not (most people using the Pi are using it purely as a router and not a wireless AP). If not, you’d need a USB wifi adapter that supports AP mode. You might want to get that additional ethernet adapter too for testing/debugging and it will allow you to add a dedicated wireless AP.
