Supersized Form Factor

If you want something that fits the SFF cube shape so you can throw it next to a TV or desk for video output, you can probably go for the SYS-A22GA-NBRT.

Easy to upgrade CPU & RAM later down the line if you start doing more stuff with it, plus space for dedicated GPU if you ever want to do heavy media server stuff.

Would avoid pi due to the underperformance for the price. Plus best bang for buck usable storage will always be HDDs. SD cards are nice but you have to disable journaling to keep the writes low as to not wear down usable blocks.

Yes, example: https://hub.docker.com/r/dyonr/qbittorrentvpn

tbh I would just combo a compose with a seperate qbittorrent and vpn container on the same pod.

That way you can set proper iptable rules if needed and perma bind qbittorrent to the vpn interface.

We already have the second and the first is based on the idea that qbits can be stabilized enough to actually accomplish any of the algorithms that would make quantum computers useful.

In 2001, Shor’s algorithm was demonstrated by a group at IBM, who factored 15  into 3 × 5 , using an NMR implementation of a quantum computer with seven qubits.[10] After IBM’s implementation, two independent groups implemented Shor’s algorithm using photonic qubits, emphasizing that multi-qubit entanglement was observed when running Shor’s algorithm circuits.[11][12] In 2012, the factorization of 15  was performed with solid-state qubits.[13] Later, in 2012, the factorization of 21  was achieved.[14] In 2016, the factorization of 15  was performed again using trapped-ion qubits.[15] However, none of these demonstrations fulfill the requirements of Shor’s algorithm: they compile the circuit using prior knowledge of the solution, and some have even oversimplified the algorithm in a way that makes it equivalent to coin flipping.[16]

Unless the US MIC has evidence that Quantum computing is reaching viability, this is just them hedging their bets in case some research actually leads to something, which means it’s currently just a pre-emptive hype train.

They have sketchy marketing that over promises the idea of privacy without actually providing it and my personal user experience with it was pretty ass.

I don’t care too much of them as a product, but when they pretend to care about privacy laws and such, it really bothers me because their actions clearly show that they don’t.

Their stupid “muh swiss laws” cop out for everytime they hand over data is especially infuriating because of the many other Swiss based services that did or do not follow such a method of operation.

PirateBay offered more security than these guys and it took the US Government threatning Switzerland before they eventually seized their servers in 2006. It was unsuccessful and the website was back up after 3 days. Even after the court trial against the founders, they continue to run it to this day.

I really wished I saved the thread but there was a great post on Reddit back in the day of a sysadmin that successfully move his entire company to OpenSUSE

I fond it lol: https://web.archive.org/web/20220128145708/https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/sesmwr/finished_a_full_corporate_migration_from_windows/

They already preemptively had CXMT on the trade blacklist lol. Only got removed because of the intense shortage.

I’ll take typst any day over latex lol

Valve already stated from the beginning that they didn’t want to subsidize the cost like a console but they also believe that idea is infeasible which isn’t true, especially in the short term.

The whole point of the hardware is to push steam software and increase the Linux marketshare which would encourage other OEMs to offer SteamOS or Linux from factory. No one is buying this to not use it for gaming under a subsidized price because there are much better options for that purpose.

The primary buyer would still be a steam user, meaning they’d make that money back on steam purchases. They could even run a launch promo to offer reduced price with a steam wallet combo. At least give it a month or two before the final price sets in stone.

Even if they had launched at the original $750 earlier this summer with a fat price increase warning, I think the average user would have been more receptive to buying at the full price in the future. It’s the getting slapped with a $1k pricetag from the start that’s got everyone shell shocked.

Boost my ass.

They spent the previous 3 years shredding any chance they had at being a serious power player by nuking both the economy and government all while sucking American foreign policy demands.

They are literally only invovled because they happened to be a foreign nation that borders Iran and happens to have a sizeable military that offers security for negotiation purposes.

The only thing they’ve gotten out of this is some KSA loan money slashed. The same loan money that they nuked thr aforementioned economy and government for and ehich they obviously sent and spent for businesses and living abroad.

Didn’t know this was a hot take but America hasn’t provided tip worthy service for decades.

I would even wager that Gen Z and A would be blown away to see the level of service quality something like the boomer generation experienced.

NSA is that you?

Also jokes aside, how does the use case compare to some existing tools like BBOT?

This seems morr geared towards public facing targets than targeted information OSINT (user profiling, etc.)

I understand the need for SLAs but I’m always annoyed to see businesses never consider just using that vendor money to pay for a quality IT team and using something open source like Proxmox or Apache Cloud.

Especially when its something really basic like VMs and not actual cloud infrastructure.

The high tech in vehicles that I wanted:

The “high tech” we got:

It’s because they sell all of their products as a vendor package with advertised SLAs and “discounts”.

If your company needs cloud stuff and you happen to want Azure, you’re basically getting locked into Teams.

Unlike specialty software like Adobe, pretty much everything Microsoft offers has feature parity or superior alternatives, it just relies on the fact that businesses aren’t stuck on any one of their products.

There are actually a handful of companies that only use MacOS or Linux, but it requires both your IT team and management to be competent enough to throw MSFT away, which is much harder to do in a legacy settings when your entire domain infara is a 20+ year old AD domain.

They have power. They could wreck Trump’s finances and connections that keep him powerful. He doesn’t care much about the publicity, but if he doesn’t follow, he’ll end up broke and in jail before the year is even over.

Justice system will suddenly magically function as intended when the rest of the Israeli lobby gangs up on him.

Bruh I thought the .ml fake leftist haters thing was a joke lol.

Who would you have preferred? Deng Xiaoping?

Is anyone actually using Gemini directly?

It sucks total bum compared to even some quality mid tier models on huggingface. Even the joke about ChatGPT was that it performs better than Google’s equally bum SEO’d search engine.

I feel like Google is suffering much less at throwing it into all of their apps than MSFT doing the same with copilot.

I already said it a month ago, but I’m pretty sure the main contention over the agreement has been getting Israel to play along.

Trump can’t actually say that he’s on Netanyahu’s leash because that would mean his supposed authority is non-existent. Iran also knows that Israel will never agree to anything, so they naturally opted to skip straight to negotiating directly with the US and having them “pull the leash” on Israel.

Regardless if it goes through or not, it ends in a fight between whether the US owns Israel or Israel owns the US.

I like how whenever there’s an exception to Betteridge’s law of headlines, it always seems to involve Israel.
