Lol I didn’t either.

MythTV?

Probably some use cases for “regular” users. Someone mentioned music production, though that’s probably more professional than hobby.

To my understanding, you mostly need real time performance for specialty cases where timing is absolutely critical. So I guess if you were building custom drones or custom control boards for drones, you could use real time Linux for that now since the timing could be guaranteed.

Doesn’t say, but I am curious. They said their workarounds broke other workarounds which caused a lot of implementation delay, but I’m not sure what the actual compromise was to address all that.

Answer probably lies somewhere in the kernel maintainer’s mailing list, I’d imagine. Just not equipped to search for it right at the moment.

Security tip: Never post your home address on social media.

Saving this for when people ask why I need root access on my devices.

Maybe try McDonalds corporate then? I believe they have quite a bit of sway over local franchises.

Beyond that, I’d just avoid it because that’s probably the tip of a very dirty iceberg.

Send that to your local health department.

That sucks. As a workaround, a cup of ice is just a cup of water waiting to happen.

They are also, apparently, banning users that have never been to their instance.

That’s literally impossible; every action taken has to be against an entity known to the instance. However, I can ban people from communities that have never posted there (which is what you’re seeing). That is to close a loophole where someone is instance banned here but can still interact with the local copies of communities on their home instance.

In such a case, those local interactions would not be moddable on that instance except by the admins. Any reports for that user would not be seen by the mods on my instance, and no mod actions could be taken by them. I think 0.19.4 or 5 addresses that, but that’s’ not the version we’re on right now, so this is how we’re handling that.

I’ve used Plasma off and on for years, and every time I just regretted it. Can’t point to one particular issue that ruined it, it was just a lot of little annoyances over a long period of time (mostly with multi-monitor setup and the panels glitching out all the time). So “BugScreen” sounds about right, lol.

That said, this would be more of an “appliance” configuration so I may give it a shot and keep Kodi as a fallback.

Looks like Kodi it is, lol. Which is fine, I guess. I should be able to customize it and remove the unneeded options.

My current setup only really runs Emby and Snapcast, so I haven’t had to deal with any kind of launcher. It just boots into Openbox, launches FF full screen, and loads Emby. I’m aiming to add some new features to the new build since it’s more capable than the old Core2 Duo laptop I dug out of the basement lol.

That’s what I was thinking, but wasn’t sure enough to say beyond “give it a shot and see”.

There might be some savings to be had by enabling compression, though it would depend on what format the images are in to start with. If they’re already in a compressed format, it would probably just be a waste of CPU to try compressing them further at the filesystem level.

Not sure if a de-duplicating filesystem would help with that or not. Depends, I guess, on if there are similarities between the similar images at the block level.

Maybe try setting up a small, test ZFS pool, enabling de-dup, adding some similar images, and then checking the de-dupe rate? If that works, then you can plan a more permanent ZFS (or other filesystem that supports de-duplication) setup to hold your images.

Thanks! Wish I had more time to work on it lately, but life has been getting in the way.

Tesseract was originally kind-of a cross between Photon and Alexandrite, though it’s evolved separately from both since then. May still be close enough for your taste?

Github

Is .ca running a similar poll? Because I feel like they’re the ones that are getting the short end of that stick.

If it ever happens, absolutely :)

Oh, yeah, I just like the T-Deck form factor. Was going to use Meshtastic as the base but the ESP32 itself would be the messenger (e.g. wouldn’t need the phone).
