Yeah, the Nvidia bug caused me A LOT of headache. I love Debian, but I really only use it as a server OS. On my workstations, I prefer to have easier compatibility with new hardware and software.

I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.

I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.

I'll have to double check, but I came from a B450 board. It definitely allowed me to run my RAM at a higher XMP profile (4x 3200MHz), and it has way better IOMMU groups. Each PCIe device gets its own group, so they can all be passed to different VMs.

I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It's a fantastic board at that price.

The same thing happened to me when I first tried to go there, but it's fine now.

If that's the case, then just set up a pipeline to pre-transcode your 4k content to 1080p, so your server doesn't have to handle that on the fly.

Alacritty is really nice and easy to configure, and isn't "tied" to any desktop environment, like Konsole is. Kitty is really cool for its implementation of image display. Foot is a Wayland-native alternative that is also really nice to use.

ICANN is certainly not perfect, but there is a difference between the automatic control that countries have over their ccTLD and the control they have through ICANN.

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The problem is who controls them. The government of each country can decide at any moment that they want to take control of their TLD and remove any sites that they don't like. It's just not good practice if you want your site to stick around.

Oh I'm fully aware haha, and the article is on a CO site. At the time I made my account, lemmy.ml seemed to be the best option, even with the poor TLD choice.

Looks cool. Their hosted service is still in Alpha, so I doubt my work would go for it.
