Excellent - I’m about to install it for my aged mother, because windows keeps moving her cheese.
I want something that doesn’t change the workflows once she’s learned how to do a task, and that local techs can help her with, and that I can VNC to when I have to.
I’m getting started with i3, so I get your point now.
Pure FUD. Worse, it’s wilfully stupid.
Are you in the habit of picking pipeline commands at random? Do you not usually have a purpose in mind? OBVIOUSLY the receiving end has to understand what it’s receiving, or what the fuck are you even doing?
Do you believe that your text processing commands don’t have to understand what they receive?
Let’s get the ports of the node container.
Bash:
docker ps | grep node | cut -n 6 -f ' '
Pwsh:
docker-ps | where name -eq 'node' | select ports
First the grep command shits the bed because at some point you started a new container running a nodejs image.
Then the cut command fails because you had a container with a space in the name, so it outputs mounts instead of ports.
That’s a non-issue with sematic tools. Semantic tools are also legible. Yeah, I can figure out what that awk command does, but it’s meaningless unless I also know the shape of the data is supposed to operate on.
You don’t write “USE 2nd DATABASE; SELECT 3rd COLUMN FROM 10th ROW”, do you? Why would you want to do that in a shell?
Ate you joking? Auto-complete works out of the box, it’s a shell feature. Install pwsh and save keystrokes.
What’s wrong with Virtual Desktops on windows? They work perfectly for me.
No argument with your other points.
My understanding is that the Windows terminal sucks? I don’t know why, it just looks bad.
Your understanding is wrong. I’ve tried 8 different terminals on mac, arch and kubuntu, and I miss Windows Terminal every day. It looks good and the config is a pleasure. I don’t expect Linux to look pretty, but MacOS had fucking awful font rendering and it’s supposed to be this upmarket OS for moneyed pricks in black turtlenecks. Was everyone in unixland busy doing drugs while Microsoft was implementing anti-aliasing? Is clear legible type for losers?
That’s Teams. Slack used to be a CPU hog too, but Teams is a real piece of shit. And occasionally it used to just peg one core at 100% until I killed it.
I’m so glad I quit that company.
Hmm. I run mine off a usb3 ssd and it’s faster, but still slow.
It’s OK, but I’d suggest:
Atom > arm64 > arm32
I ran on a Pi 4, but switched to a PC for jellyfin. The pi can’t transcode for shit. It was slow to boot and slow over SSH.
Look for a NUC - they’re designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you’ll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.
Bear in mind that network chipset will be your bottleneck in some use cases. If it has a “gigabit port” but only a cheap chipset, and you use it as a router, you might max out at ADSL speeds… in that case you’ll wish you’d gone for a box designed for soft routing, which are a fair bit pricier.
Pi is not the only SoC, merely the best-known.
I’d earn anyone thinking of buying a Pi for a home server: ARM is widely supported, but you might regret investing in arm32. Atom is a safer choice.
They don’t supply PoE, mind.
I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:
The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM.
I considered Mikrotik, but my mum would have to call me every time there was an issue, and it would only be marginally cheaper. I expect any competent local tech to be able to support unifi and opnsense.
There are many similar. The best is GoWin R86S
…or MIPS…
Big fan of Mikrotik, but it helps to have some experience.
Haven’t tried hex, but RB2011 would be my default recommendation, and I’ve seen RB4009 for ~£120 (bargain of the century!)
Yeah and it’s cheap, also Quake 1 remastered is on sale rn!
Or, better yet, an alu plate and some soldered switches and knobs
Do what now? Sorry, I’m a frontend developer, I don’t have much experience with C##
Yes… YESSS… he’s going to attach the debugOH FUCK IT he’s just ADDED a fucking PRINT STATEMENT instead.
Why can’t I get this programmer to debug?
Peasant. I use slackware.
Or will, when I figure out this compiler error.
Second draw.io - I’ve done lots of diagrams with VSCode and the draw.io plugin
