you're absolutely making things up
I could tell you what I see but you wouldn't believe me anyway.
I was trying to show that not everyone perceives the world around them in the same way, and most people find it fascinating when they take a step back to really think about it. But you've already decided that simply not being able to see colors in the same way as you makes me inherently wrong, so I'm not going to engage any further.
Yes I understand the meme and I'm not trying to get into an argument. I'm just trying to educate as to why relying on color as the primary differentiator is not a solution to the problem as proposed.
at a glance, color is a much faster tool we use to identify these icons
Think about what you're saying here, and consider how ridiculous it would sound if you said that to someone who was completely blind.
Sure, to a "color normal" person, something's color is a great differentiator, but even when using a colorblind friendly pallette it's just far easier for us to distinguish different shapes than colors. We've spent our whole lives adapting to a lack of color information so asking us to be able to work purely on color alone is like asking a blind person to see.
Again, and this part is really important and oft overlooked - this applies even when a designer has gone out of their way to choose a colorblind friendly pallette. It's just not that easy for us. I honestly couldn't even tell you what Google's corporate pallette is without looking and I'm sure that information is second nature to normies.
Nope. The icons are honestly good enough as they are, but the original post was being disingenuous in suggesting they're no more distinguishable than squares.
Running with that logic, having each square a different color does not solve the problem for those of us who can't easily distinguish those colors.
Yes, but the original post is suggesting that they're ambiguous enough to all be squares. Running with that concept, making a bunch of squares different colors doesn't fix the issue for those of us who can't easily identify those colors.
Except that the original post was contesting that those shapes are indistinguishable from each other. My point, therefore, is that the solution offered in the post I replied to would still be indistinguishable to 300 million people.
Problem solved! If we ignore the world's ~300 million colorblind people.
To be fair the Synology lineup is confusing, but if you get the right model - one with a Ryzen processor and support for 32GB memory (officially; they can take more) - then you've got yourself a proper little workhorse with low power consumption, a stable, reliable OS, and super easy expansion thanks to the hot-swap drive bays and their Hybrid RAID option. My 8 bay model is running a couple of full-blown VMs and what must be two dozen or so docker containers while barely breaking a sweat. The DS723+ is the equivalent 2 bay model.
For things that need some acceleration like Plex and Immich I've added a little N100 box (a Beelink S12 Pro) with Ubuntu Server and another Docker instance, and mounted the NAS storage via SMB. This also sips power even when transcoding 4x Plex streams at once.
All of which is to say you don't need to do a complex, potentially power hungry and difficult to expand self build to do what you want.
Neither does the BBC's couch to 5k app, for who knows what reason.
Ohhhhh I see. The wording on that page could be so much better!
I don't get it. What's it supposed to be doing?
This is excellent but alas I can't get it to work in nginx-proxy-manager. Keen to see if anyone else can figure it out.
Well indeed, that's why I want to move the VM off the NAS and onto something with some hardware acceleration. Are there any remote frontend options for KVM?
