What is a good Linux Tablet for University in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm inclined to agree. I wasn't a fan when I tried it on my EOL one as an option.

If you need to keep the budget down, you could probably find an end of service 2 in 1 Chromebook and make it a chultrabook.

AMD, Intel, and a slew of tech companies are teaming up to fend off ARM chips in c/technology@lemmy.world

Not all ARM chips are in phones, nor are they all locked down like one. There are several ARM devices and SBCs now where switching OSes is as easy as swapping out an SD card. Most do use uboot as a standard and some are even capable of utilizing UEFI.

I do. It's nice. Just earlier I used teleport to remote in and setup a docker container, while out. It's certainly the biggest advantage to me, having a one click/tap VPN connection to a network. It's helped me out several times at home and work.

HDD or SSD for a home server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] tophneal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Why not split the difference and do both. Hdd for storage and SSD for services/containers. To help with the power load/performance hit I'd recommend using a usb to sata adapter that has external power. Overall though it sounds like a micro optipl x would be great for you. They're cheap, more powerful, but still sip power, and usually can fit nvme and 2.5" drives together.

Next up: Struggles getting my HBA to see SAS drives (don't think it's 3.3v or 512 vs 520). What should I try? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Is the Hba in a traditional server case with lots of airflow? My 9207-8i displayed a similar issue bc it didn’t have enough direct cooling (it’s not in a traditional server/case.) it would never show more than 2 drives at a time and they would often vanish. Once I mounted a fan to it, the Hba has been stable and showing every drive I attach

I looked these up too after seeing them mentioned in an interview. Definitely vaporware. Reviews are not good. It’s very limited in its capabilities vs an actual laptop, build quality is meh at best, and the glasses are not very accommodating to the wearer.

Neat premise, not there yet.

How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I tell people, like my friend that wanted a bunch of drivel kids stuff, that if they give me 2 hard drives I'll set them up as their own library.
