You sure you mean exiting? Or exciting?

Yeah, I couldn’t give a shit, but after that miraculous surgery, I’m full of shit again!

Any idea what should I get for my NAS then? I’ve been looking at Lexar NM790 as one of the contenders, others being Seagate Firecuda 530 and WD RED SN700. My target is 2TB not too expensive nvme drive.

Yep, I meant U series, which (at least where I live) were covering vast majority of the market. There was occasional HQ here and there, but not that often. AMDs offerings at the time were mediocre and nobody really used them so for me, that era basically overlaps with Intel U series hegemony when speaking about laptop cpus.

I mean mainstream processors of that age. Even regular i7s of 7th gen were just dual cores with HT.

Ah, so there won’t be overflow of big bussiness 8th gen laptops… Nevermind, I’d still avoid 7th gen myself.

If I were to buy used laptop, I’d want 8th gen or newer because that’s where intel finally made more than dual core for mobile.

“You should definitely try LFS, it’s great and you’ll have exactly what you want!”

“Arch btw! Customize everything and no bloat, hurr durr!”

“NixOS is the future, go for it!”

So it uses both? Interesting.

It used to be, it’s Bing nowadays I believe.

//edit: it says it uses google on the site, but I remember there was a bit of shitshow on the internetz ~year ago when they used bing instead. So… I’m confused now.

I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I’m even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what’s going on, who’s the good guy, who’s the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.

I don’t recommend Zulip as Discord alternative. It’s interesting take on slack-ish type of messenger, but not really “polished” experience for now.

It will be done the same year when it’s finally “year of linux”… Sad, but seems to be the case.

Ok, thank you and all the others for explanation.

What about DoH/DoT which comes enabled by default in some browsers I believe? This should “hide” your activity from isp/router as well, shouldn’t it?

Well, it is impossible to install W11 Pro without MS account for normal person. Sure tech people can do it after couple seconds of web search, but your average PC user? Nope. No way.

I highly doubt regular users will exchange Discord for Matrix. Don’t get me wrong, Matrix is great and all, has some great features, but given its open decentralized way it is and probably always will be mostly for tech savvy people. Now given how half of the Discord (the part I know) is memes and gifs spam, it’s not really easily reproducible with Matrix. At least last time I checked Element still didn’t have gif picker…

I used to use syncthing few years back. I don’t remember much about it and I can’t even remember why I ditched it. It probably wasn’t any disasterous situation - I’d remember that, but there still had to be reason I did it.

What I remember I specifically used one way sync of photos. I don’t do picture editing at all and I tend to sort pictures on drive differently than one huge pile on phone, so this was what allowed me to do my shit easily.

Different people, different tastes.

Honestly I’ve never even heard of brand called Drobo.

Yeah, once you wrote this I saw a video where it’s explained Asustor is basically “unlocked” just like regular PC, unlike Synology and Qnap who are hard-set on their offerings. This is quite a big plus IMO. Some people criticize Asustor that it relies on third party solutions like Virtualbox. Not really concern to me as I’d definitely not run a whole virtualized system. And for Docker it has Portainer if I looked right? Isn’t this considered a go-to solution with self built systems running docker? How could this be bad?

Although I have to add that from what I saw both Syno and Qnap have their own systems more polished as a whole than ADM is.
