Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

This is why there are separate rules and standard for implantable, wearable, and supporting medical devices.

I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

No, mine is just a docker container. Maybe there is something with that? Is your containerized in the VM?

50% is quite decent and is 20% higher than most other “decent” services including physical stores. Building and keeping an app up to date with ever changing content requires at least a part time developer which is expensive.

Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.

Different experiences I guess.

Did he disclose an amount?

5% to artists is very different than 40% to artists.

Or is he adopting the Spotify bottom line?

Only pay artists after X downloads and only pay a few cents after thousands of downloads and use the rest for profits

And if it was an issue on github:

Closed: “couldn’t reproduce” 10 seconds after that last comment.

Depends. If someone is gaming with new hardware, don’t use a distro that doesn’t update the kernel quickly and regularly.

Almost every problem with hardware on mint is solved by going through the process of updating the kernel or switching to a distro with up to date libraries.

It’s fine for a lot of people, but it doesn’t “just work” outside of the use case of only browsing the internet and word documents.

This is coming from someone who used mint for 4 years. There was about a dozen times where the software on the software center was so out of date that it simply didn’t work and I had to resort often to using random ppa’s which often broke other things. Definitely not user friendly.

That being said, Cinnamon is probably one of the most user friendly DEs for people switching from window. It is very nice.

True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.

True, meanwhile my HP printer had a hell of a time trying to work on windows much less finding an actual downlosd for the scanner tool on HP’s websitr for a printer ovrr 5 years old and on Linux I typed yay HP, 1, then I was ready to print and scan.

Plus KDE discover is the convenience if the Microsoft store was actually good.

Settings are ACTUALLY in setting instead of being split between settings, control panel, individual tool auto diagnoses, powershell, and registry edits.

KDEconnect works seamlessly and I can also locate my phone if I lost it in the house.

Opensuse!

Yast is one of the most fully featured package managers and tumbleweed is damn good and they lean fully into KDE.

I even run opensuse Kalpa (KDE immutable) and it is pretty rock solid outside of steam flatpak.

I have an orangepi zero 3 with pihole

Then an ITX PC with

• mealie (meal planner, recipe parser, grocery list maker with a bunch of features and tools)

• immich for self hosting a google photos alternative

• *arr stack for torrenting Linux ISOs

• Jellyfin for LAN media playing

• home assistant for my VW car, our main hanging renovation lights, smoke and CO monitors, and in the future, all of the KNX smart systems in our house

• Syncthing for syncing photo backup and music library with phone

• Bookstack for a wiki, todos, journal, etc… (Because I didn’t want to install better services for journals when I don’t use it much)

• paperless-ngx for documents

• leantime for managing my personal projects, tasks, and timing

• Valheim game server

• Calibre-web for my eBook library backup

• I had nextcloud but it completely broke on an update and I can’t even see the login fields anymore, it just loads forever until it takes down my network and server, so I ditched it since I never used it anyway

• crowdsec for much better (preemptive) security than fail2ban

• traefik for reverse proxy

More niche? Opensuse Kalpa.

I started running it and their are some pains like figuring out which layer to install tablet driver software, undervolting software, and kde connect. Seam flatpak still sucks dick and the tray icon for it doesn’t work at all and it needs a ton of modifications to get things to where the native steam runtime just works, but still a fun experiment.

L O L “doing something different”

Epic tried to pull an Amazon.

Get VC money and chinese money and subsidize and undercut competition using anticompetitive practices to gain market share before the rug pull where they jack up their margins to the industry standard. (Everyone uses 30%, even brick and mortars except humble which is 25)

The difference is Amazon actually made a good software experience in the beginning few years and Epic spent literal years with very few feature updates and whining and burning money suing about “unfair market practices” when they were the only ones actually engaging in anti-consumer practices like paying off developers to be Epic-exclusive and buying developers and removing their games from steam. The other “different” thing that they did I guess is their CEO is an outspoken objective asshole.

They never got to the rug pull part because their actual software sucked balls and they refused to improve it so much so that someone else actually made a better launcher than them for their own products…

If you want to build it yourself, you have to decide on size.

Are you trying to keep it as small as possible?

Do you want a dedicated GPU for multiple jellyfin streams? (Definitely get the Intel A380, cheap and an encoding beast)

If you don’t want to start a rack and don’t want to go with a prebuilt NUC, there are 2 PC cases I would recommend.

Node 304 and Node 804.

Node 304 is mini-ITX (1 PCIe slot, 1 M.2 slot for boot OS, 4 HDDs, SFX-L PSU, and great cooling)

Node 804 is micro-ATX (2 PCIe slots, 2 M.2 slots, 8-10 HDDs, ATX PSU, and 2 chambers for the HDDs to stay cool)

Why do you want a N100? Is electricity very expensive where you are that idle power is a big factor? Because desktop CPUs are more powerful and the CPUs can idle down to 10W or so without a GPU and they can have way more RAM.

Tldr; go with prebuilt NUC or go with a desktop CPU for a custom build.

I did this exact thing with my server. Fully encrypted with a boot partition on a USB.

Clonezilla from my encrypted SSD to another (you can also decrypt it with clonezilla before the copy if you want)

Expanded the LVM volumes

Viola, 120GB to 500GB. Spun up the docker containers and everything just worked again

My rebuttal is that I have never had arch not boot except me messing up the install 8 years ago when I was learning.

I installed a completely standard tubleweed install on a laptop, grub broke and tumbleweed wouldn’t boot anymore during the first update that was recommended to me through a notification popup that brought me to an update GUI. This was just 2 years ago.

Arch you can boot by default with rEFInd. It is infinitely easier than grub, searches and finds boots by default, even if it is configured incorrectly, and has never broken once in 8 years while grub has broken many, many times. That is not an option with tumbleweed install.

There have 100% been package and dependency breakages on tumbleweed, just like arch and every single distro. It happens.

Documentation is meager at best for tumbleweed and related. Archwiki is unbeatable in that regard.

The AUR. Please, try to go install niche programs like EdrawMax, PulseView, etc… RPMs make it pretty easy after you find it. On arch it is “yay pulseview” … “1” … “y” … Done.

They are all great distros with many pros and cons to each. Most people would be fine with any of them.

For example opensuse variants have btrfs with snapshot set up upon installation. That is pretty damn cool and useful!

That said, I am definitely going to try Kalpa because it is a fresh way of doing things.
