But if everyone else is down too, you don't look so bad 🧠

It just needed the AMD compatibility plugin, lots of time wasted until someone pointed that out though.

Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, with the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!).

The cost of that is still less than the cost would have been to buy new matching drives.

Has a nice UI, let's me mix and match disks, let's me host docker containers plus a VM with gpu pass through.

All basically out of the box. (Ok - Pass through was a bastard) All for a one off price.

I don't know if there are other options that let me do all of that, unraid has always been the one mentioned.

Didn't Linus say that he is a tiny investor, they only let him in for the press. (Unless he has invested more?)

It's the fabs that the us gov cares about though. You could end up with ex intel fabs producing AMD chips, with intel bankrupt. (Amd would buy them to save the cross licensing)

'functional' is stretching it I think, were they not on the edge of defaulting again?

Not that they might not be still, I haven't seen apolitical economic info on them recently.

That requires you to buy all your music though, for those (like me) that own basically nothing, it's crazy to change.

They need to force the free streaming of owned tracks or something. Qobuz allows this I think, but only if you buy through them.

That game is damn good as a coop game!

Does the article actually list the target altitude for this version?

I think I was imagining something much higher. You're probably right.

A wind turbine automatically feathers. Why can't the airship automatically raise and lower itself?

With modern forecasting, getting it's height right shouldn't be too hard?

The bottom is going to be armoured to an extent against bottoming out the car etc, so harder to do that (and have it be water/salt proof) through the floor I guess?

Having your battery eject itself because of a sensor failure while driving at 70mph would be exciting to everyone involved though!

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
