Out of all the marketing letters (E, G, I, R, T and X) X is definitely the betterest!

That’s 50% more Xs ! You can beat this deal !

It’s it the same problem tho? Xbox S/X can also target different graphics (resolution, frame rate, quality) but feature parity is required.

Would anyone be ok with, for example, split screen multiplayer mode available only on PS5 Pro, but not on PS5 nor PS5 slim?

I don’t understand why they would release a PS5 Pro. For the PS4 / Xbox One generation, it was somewhat justified because 4K TV became widely available and desirable shortly after the release of this generation, making the consoles almost obsolete.

This time around, I don’t see the performance of theses consoles as a big problem. Interest has declined because prices of consoles and games are high, and there are not that many exiting games to play on them.

Making a more powerful variant has some disadvantages too, making game development more complex to support all variants. Microsoft has already suffered from this strategy with the Xbox series X/S.l, e.g:with BG3 local multiplayer

Watchtower took care of that for me 👍

Sorry, I meant bald. Please, excuse my dyslexic-idiot-self.

Instructions unclear, I poured caramel on my head, now I am bold bald as a billiard ball!

I was not successful running Solidworks under Linux and it even detects when it is running in a virtual machine and refuses to install completely!

Finally I have found an alternative that suits my needs, that has free account for hobby purposes: on-shape.com it’s web-based, works flawlessly under Linux and Firefox. Workflow is very similar to Solidworks, and version-control is simple and nice.

This could make a pretty cool low-power NAS !

I haven’t watched the show before, but it’s been my Sunday ritual for a little while now. I watch while ironing my shirts, it’s really good ! Character writing is 10/10.

Thanks for the heads-up ! Straight to the backlog !

I am joking of course. I am a privacy freak myself:

1. All my computers run Linux
2. I self-host all what I can and encrypt as much as I can by myself too
3. On desktop, Mic and Cam are connected to a USB hub with individual switches such that they are powered ON only when I need them
4. Laptop is a Framework 13 with HW switches for both Cam and Mic

There is something about the webcam switch on the Lenovo from work, that I like better than the Framework: The switch also physically blocks the camera. It makes me feel more safe and it’s actually much more intuitive to understand when it is disable. On Framework, the switch shows either red or black, but I never know what is enable and disable. Is it red for “Careful, it’s active !” or red for “Disable” ? (It’s Red=Disable, Black=Active).

Hackers won’t have much to blackmail me, I fap completely silently.

About the power of the hardware, you don’t need to worry too much. My NAS is a SBC with 6 ARM cores and 4GB or RAM. It run flawlessly all the services you’ve listed and more ! (Also, without transcoding for jellyfin).

I don’t know if your budget includes Hard disks, but it should be plenty enough to get you an ready made NAS from Synology or other brands, that will give you an easy start with self-hosting.

If you want to go the DIY route. Then I recommend to build yourself a small computer from a Intel N100 motherboard, or the older J5040. From there you can install Open Media Vault, or otherwise the Linux distribution you are the most familiar with, and install Docker. You can check Linuxserver.io for many guides for spinning up docker containers for all of the services you’ve listed.

We all have Jean-Baptiste Kempf, and many other brilliant volunteer developers to thank for it

I am always on the freshest Fedora Workstation, and all the extensions I use are always supported from the start. I don’t use that many to be honest. But, is extensions compatibility really an issue nowadays?

Always think about tar commands in your best German accent !

Sorry, but it’s also beyond my understanding. As far as I can understand, run0 doesn’t use a sandbox, but will better isolate the privileged processes from unprivileged ones when executing a command.

For those like me who didn’t get the joke: Systemd v256 Introduces run0: A Safer Alternative to sudo / linuxiac.com

To make KDE Plasma the new default Desktop environment for future Fedora Workstation releases in place of Gnome.
