Indirect Playback goes through them first. Also, they host DynDNS for the Plex media server to make accessing it remotely from apps easier.
The second thing is a joke to host and requires no resources. The first one can be a significant resource usage item.
VTubers are people who is avatars instead of being on camera. Typically the avatar is lip synced to their voice.
They’re trolling and have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. I’ve literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.
The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.
I’m happy my company basically issued a ban on Windows without pre-authorization. We’re entirely a macOS and Linux shop.
There is a reason they are inexpensive. Their batteries are terribly designed with no thermal management.
Oh look. The dumb fuck is projecting again.
As a fellow Mint enjoyer who is too fucking old to be fixing their desktop all the time…yes
Really? Nice. Didn’t know that about Flatpaks.
While I prefer Debian packages, what’s wrong with Flatpaks other than a bit of bloat caused by redundant dependencies? They’re not Snaps.
Debian and Mint user…yup I’m old.
Glory to you…and your distro.
I’m using a Ryzen Mini PC running Debian and Flex Launcher.
Works well as both a media consumption machine and light gaming rig.
Xfinity/Comcast hijacks DNS, even if you use another DNS server (they just redirect DNS requests to them). I suspect that they’re using it for analytics data to sell while disguising it as “security”.
They also block access to root DNS servers, so you can’t use a full DNS Resolver run locally. It’s super f***Ed.
If you want to ensure they don’t do it, use your own modem and always force DNS over TLS.
It looks like it’s going to be a staging ground for things to be merged into Weston proper, along with potentially some newer and better features coming to it exclusively or first.
As long as it’s open source, sounds like a win to me. More AMD embracing Linux as a first party OS is good in my book.
Every endpoint device I use is using full disk encryption, yes.
This is the way
Server is rebooted, as needed, for updates. I think it just got a kernel update two weeks ago, so it probably only has ~14 days of uptime.
My desktop and laptop are shut down when not in use. Leaving them on when not in use is pointless.
Never understood obsessions with “uptime”. If you have high numbers for uptime, you’re a bad sysadmin/maintainer of your hardware unless the appliance is purpose-built to be always up and air gapped.
Unless you’re the Trump admin. Then you just unlock the door and invite them in.
