Compiz, Wayfire, and KWin all outshine both Windows and MacOS in quality and render performance.

The amount of visual magic in Compiz and Wayfire especially is both incredibly useful but also hilarious.

3D desktop cube is a great way to handle multiple desktops, but rotating your windows to any angle is just to show off to your friends lol.

I think this all but confirms HTS is just another uncle sam project with some help from Turkey, meaning they will likely do jack all to Israel on their border and also likely end up the same as Iraq.

Xfce 4.20

On my way to attempt an upgrade from Xfce + Compiz to Xfce + Wayfire lol

Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don’t really feel like it

14 Easy Recipes Because You Want to Eat More Fish

Average NYT reporting lol

Actually if it were Fox, they’d have called them nuclear powered autonomous flying boats designed exclusively to fly up only the Potomac river to launch a nuke at the Whitehouse.

Probably since it’s the main redhat upstream and they want the advantage of already widespread usage.

Although at that point why not OpenSUSE for the same reason you mentioned.

OEMs forgot to add hardware support for AV1 because H.265 jumped the gun in an attempt to stay relevant with clout from H.264 lol.

Go back to sleep, this is just repeat cope for failing to handle a pandemic and shifting the blame to another country.

I thought it was weird too because the only current foreign user is Pakistan, and Egypt is even more of a US shill state.

Yeah but they’re fully content in simply delaying the inevitable as much as they can.

China by itself is only really behind in microchip litho fabs which is probably the most advanced and complicated tech humanity has created. What they truly lack is currency stability backing for trade.

For the time being, BRICS will just be a stepping stone because USD still has an iron grip on the global economy. China is playing the long game by letting it slip away slowly via loans and foreign investments to replace stuff like IMF loans. Any huge action to strip USD now would result in country heads getting magically arrested or assassinated overnight (cough Pakistan cough).

The US knows it can’t keep up the control for long, yet their solution is to essentially pretend China will never catch up.

tbf Israel essentially destroyed all of Syria’s airforce the moment HTS captured Damascus to ensure that they have nothing to defend themselves with.

To engage Israel now is a death trap that would also likely get the US involved, which could easily bring the country back into anarchy with a couple of bribes and assassinations.

Israel is pressing in hopes of a response that they can use as a means of escalation. Syria needs to bite the bullet for the time being and repair the country before tackling Israel.

People have been joking about fake as hell NGOs being used for espionage and misinformation for decades, but its weird they they’re actually throwing away their leverage across the board.

Unless they plan to just move the funding to another organization like the CIA.

Lol I’ve locked myself out of so many random cloud and remote instances like this that now I always make a sleep chain or a kill timer with tmux/screen.

Usually like:

./risky_dumb_script.sh ; sleep 30 ; ./undo.sh

Or

./risky_dumb.script.sh

Which starts with a 30 second sleep, and:

(tmux) sleep 300 ; kill PID

whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

What positive image lol.

You might want to check what the actual hardware is first. You’ll probably be fine, but client 802.11 hardware can sometimes be underwhelming for hosting because they don’t have good stuff like beefed up MuMIMO.

Although that’s assuming you will have a lot of traffic going through it, so you could always just test throughput and latency with iperf to see how well it functions.

It depends on what it is really + convenience. There are lots of morons out here running basic info sites on full beefy datacenter VMs instead of a proper cloud webhost service.

The most you’d be getting out of cloud is reliability. Self host assumes you don’t have any bottlenecks (easy enough to pass), but also 99% uptime which is impossible unless you are running with site redundancy (also possible, but I doubt how many people own multiple properties with their own distribute or private cloud solution).

if 95% uptime is acceptable, and you don’t live in an area with outage issues from weather, I’d say go for it. Otherwise, you can find some pretty cheap cloud solutions for basic websites. Even a cheapo VPS would probably work just fine.

I have run photoprism straight from mdadm RAID5 on some ye olde SAS drives with only a reduction in the indexing speed (About 30K photos which took ~2 hours to index with GPU tensorflow).

That being said I’m in a similar boat doing an upgrade and I have some warnings that I have found are helpful:

1. Consumer grade NVMEs are not designed for tons of write ops, so they should optimally only be used in RAID 0/1/10. RAID 5/6 will literally start with a massive parity rip on the drives, and the default timer for RAID checks on Linux is 1 week. Same goes for ZFS and mdadm caching, just proceed with caution (ie 321 backups) if you go that route. Even if you end up doing RAID 5/6, make sure you get quality hardware with decent TBW, as sever grade NVMEs are often triple in TBW rating.
2. ZFS is a load of pain if you’re running anything related to Fedora or Redhat, and the performance implications from lots and lots of testing is still arguably inconclusive on a NAS/Home lab setup. Unless you rely on the specific feature set or are making an actual hefty storage node, stock mdadm and LVM will probably fulfill your needs.
3. Btrfs has all the features you need but is a load of trash in performance, highly recommend XFS for file integrity features + built in data dedup, and mdadm/lvm for the rest.

I’m personally going with the NVME scheduled backups to RAID because the caching just doesn’t seem worth it when I’m gonna be slamming huge media files around all day along with running VMs and other crap. For context, the 2TB NVME brand I have is only rated for 1200 TBW. That’s probably more then enough for a file server, but for my homelab server it would just be caching constantly with whatever workload I’m throwing at it. Would still probably last a few years no issues, but SSD pricing has just been awful these past few years.

On a related note, Photoprism needs to upgrade to Tensorflow 2 so I don’t have to compile an antiquated binary for CUDA support.

Remember when Hamas was democratically voted into power in Gaza because everyone knew the PA was a full of shit organization run under the complete control of Israel?

And then the PA refused to recognize the vote outcome, which was shortly followed by a military incursion by Israel because God forbid the Palestinians actually form their own government.
