Why is…. 😶

Ugh, I have to take away my cat’s internet access again.

I happen to like the term FOSS and would like to keep it around. It’s catchy.

Definitely time to kick out the corporatists though.

Abracadabra, mumbojumbo, trickledown economics. There, you’re cured.

Egggghhh, a little more over….

He’ll have more time to spend on the Phoronix forums now. 🙂

The big server is all about density and convenience. The thing will run many, many VMs without having to skimp on resources, and it will be easy to admin the VMs remotely.

I have plans to pick up a big workstation to replace the little desktops I have around, and it will be more convenient since getting as console on a VM is much easier. Servers might also have a BMC, which would help admin the server.

Yeah, I would probably have a Shield Pro if the price was lower. It does seem to have to best support though.

This is the front runner, but I’m not sure which device is the best though. Nvidia Shield seems to be the most logical answer.

How is transcoding handled? Does the Intel iGPU have the drivers/support to do transcoding on the fly?

Anyway… In this instance, I’m mainly looking for a client reccs. I have a crappy Roku streaming stick that needs to get replaced, and I’m wondering which client device is the best. An Android device or AppleTV seem to be best choices, since I could get commercial services with hardware acceleration on them if I wanted to.

What are the best hardware and OS combos for a media setup?

Nvidia Shield + Lineage OS? Chromesomething? Roku? AppleTV? X86 + Linux? (I’m not afraid of Linux, but remember some posts about video acceleration not working and services being web only.)

I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a few personal servers as I wait for Slowroll, I want to get back to trying to get Gentoo running, and I should check out Guix as a server in a VM.

Gentoo having a binary option should help since I seem to mess up the kernel part of the installation.

Vanity license plates! 😄

Package manager needs to be higher since Linux distros are software distribution projects mainly.

1. Package manager
2. Config tools
3. Config defaults
4. Kernel
5. Init process
6. Software

It’s possible to let them know the email is active, and they should follow up.

Maybe they should start bombing them. That seems to be their answer for everything at the moment.

The task scheduler in the Linux kernel was using a max value of 8 in its calculations rather than the actual number of cores in the machine.

The machine could have 128 cores, but the scheduler would base its calculations on 8 cores. As a result, the processes on the machine would run for less time than they should.

How is the firmware support? Beelink isn’t mentioned on LVFS.

Yay! No Nvidia this time.

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. Argon is awful, but not as awful as the rest.
