There could be a user-centric back end that you could tie in to an account, if it matters. You would export your history to the backend and then log in to the data from the new frontend. That prevents a denial of service caused by numerous large data collections attempting to forward their data all at once.

That then causes me to wonder if data could be hosted separate from the services. That would mean that there would have to be individuals willing to provide that storage and bandwidth.

Have you ever seen the advertisements on the pirate bay? There is a market for everything.

Defederated from instances that federate with and support Turkish laws? I don’t like it, but it makes sense.

That makes me wonder if it is possible to federate with a and b, who are not federated, and not pass traffic between.

Suppose the fediverse becomes widely used. At some point, people will figure out how to profit from it. Although it is a decentralized platform, I can see particular instances becoming dominant and walling off other instances.

How can we prevent users from being stuck behind walled gardens like this? Is it possible to make accounts portable, so if a particular instance becomes unusable one could easily move between them?

I was referring to running a second device. Running the TV off osmc would rock, but not happening.

Frustrating fact: I have to wait for my LG TV to boot. It shows a picture, but takes a minute to load the OS and produce sound.

/mnt/ is where I would put this. Only exception would be if I had a service I was providing, like a media player server, and then I might mount it at /srv/

I would gladly factory reset my television and run off osmc or something if that becomes the norm.

I’m not concerned either. Think about the compression on batteries before they pop the case.

You should worry more about tears in the outer lining of the battery. The dent might damage that cell, leading to bloating. If you consider the life of the tablet, it might just expand anyway. I say use it now while you can.

I always ask for about 3x my estimated tax value. They ask why, and I tell them that I want to but another house that isn’t falling down around me.

Yet.

Some people need sunlight fixtures in their home due to low vitamin d.

Given the Kindle Fire, ads will stream to the occupants if nothing is playing over the audio system. There would be no way to install a third party sound system because it is also the computer.

Those 2008 disks weren’t great, but airflow advice at that time wasn’t great either.

I can understand how you got where you are, but my concern is that your raidz pools will get more slow as the shared bus fills. You might be able to mitigate this by distributing your pools across different root hubs.

I get the point that external devices will have less heat entrapment, but laying your components in your case to optimize air flow will keep your drives cooler and extend their life. Also, I personally have a lot of risk in my house due to children and pets and can’t imagine leaving my devices out like that.

What size drives and what quantity are you considering?

I know it’s not your question, but you might get much better results from a SAS card and adding SATA SSD drives. You can slowly upgrade an ATX system to meet increased power and space needs. I have done the same using truenas and it’s working great.

Continuing to add USB devices does increase the serial traffic per bus since it is shared. Increased traffic increases errors, lowering your bandwidth further.

Here is a good breakdown of the uses of frame rate we’ve the subjects.

Basically, 24fps seems to appear natural for human subjects, but detail is lost on quick movements for small animals, especially birds and insects. Higher frame rate captures a lot of information, but it creates a surreal visual for human subjects.

Is that Dave Fucking Strider?

He’s sooooo cool.

Most desk side support is exactly that.

Not even moderately helpful for printer questions.

You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.

I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn’t selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.
