  • No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?

    Jump

  • I think I am going to be one of the people buying into Zen 5 but mainly for the longevity of the platform aspect. I'm in the preplanning stage of my next ProxMox server that will be my NAS (unRAID VM), local infrastructure (Samba AD, Adguard, etc.) & Gaming PC via Parsec/Moonlight or plugged directly into the PC with GPU/NVME passthrough to a VM for gaming.

    Firewall is on a separate ProxMox host so if the ProxMox host needs a reboot internet will be fine.

  • I've been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn't have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?

    Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.

    I've had zero issues without ECC, so I'm just curious about your need for it.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

  • I love telling whiny users who claim they've always had "this" problem that I cannot fix what I do not know is broken. If there's no ticket, then nothing is broken, so quit your whining.

  • What is a new low key snack that you have tried and liked ?

    Jump

  • Granola, peanut butter, chocolate chips & honey. All mixed together in a sticky mess that is tasty. Make too much? Throw it in the fridge and have a cold tasty snack the next day!

  • The random aches and pains you start waking up with are here to stay. Learn to embrace them.

    And drink more water.

  • Those without A/C, what are your tips to stay cool during the summer?

    Jump

  • I practice this same thermal battery idea as well with an extra tip of having a couple of fans on timers (sun up to sun down) that sit on the floor and blow the cold air up. It makes a significant difference, especially if you can sit a fan where the cold air from the AC falls to the ground.

  • My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

    Jump

  • I gave it a very short search back when it broke last year. I went with the cheapest way to get it back up and running which was just convert it to a desktop. She never goes anywhere with a laptop in the first place so there was no need to make it portable again.

    She's retired and just used it to surf the web. A Chromebook would work perfectly for her if she was not dead set of having Excel for her recipes and bill tracking.

  • I did not want to deal with the remote IT support of it all, so I plugged in a mouse/keyboard and a second monitor to make it more like a desktop PC setup, lol.

  • My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

    Jump

  • This happened on a decent spec'd HP laptop I bought my mom a couple years back. No easy way to repair without ordering new hinges that were impossible to find and the PC repair shop quoted over $500 repair on a $700 laptop when it was new.

    Now she just leaves the laptop open in the 180 degree position with the laptop being held into a stand & bungie cord strapped to it to prevent it from falling foward. It is now a desktop PC and no longer a laptop.

  • YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos

  • I feel like this is what the comment section is used for.

  • Ahh. Thank you for the info! I too was in that group who did not know! Can't wait to see what the final picture comes out as!

  • For those not in the know, what is Canvas? I do not recall seeing this last year.

  • Correct me if I am wrong, but the Bitwarden client itself already does this. I store several of my TOTP's in my self hosted Vaultwarden/Bitwarden install.

  • Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available

    Jump

  • Two users and a handful of service accounts. I use it so I have a centralized user authentication system instead of managing multiple individual user accounts.

  • Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available

    Jump

  • I tried a couple of LDAP solutions out there; Windows Server AD, Open LDAP, Samba4 in Debian, TurnKey Solutions LDAP before finally settling on Zentyal. It has a nice to use web GUI and can work in conjunction with AD RSAT tools that I have installed in a throwaway Windows VM for when I need more granular controls the web GUI can't do.

    All my Debian VM's and laptops connect to Zentyal AD via SSSD.

  • Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available

    Jump

  • I just cannot find a use case for Nextcloud. I have gone as far as installing it and sync'ing it with my LDAP for user auth and sync pictures from my phone to my NAS. All the other features are just a big ole m'eh for me.

    This has just been my experience, so maybe I'm missing something that would just make it all click and make me not live without it. So far though, I've spun up and spun down an instance 3 times and never missed it afterwards.

  • I have not looked for stats but I'd love to see what the actual usage of the Microsoft Store is. I know I have never found a use for it and went as far as disabling the MS Store via GPO because I got tired of seeing it and for learning experience.

    I have never found a reason, for myself, where I would need to use the MS Store... ever.

  • Is it worth buying the Mac keyboard for a dedicated Linux PC instead of the windows one?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I have used this model specifically since at least 2006 or so. I have been using this model so long I have to readjust back to the non ergo layout every time I just type in my laptop when it is undocked. Not looking forward to the day this keyboard dies on me.
