  • To be fair, Ubuntu is using older kernels than Debian these days. Ubuntu has become the old man of distro's

  • /etc? Never heard of her.

  • You can still break your /etc folder. But many other folders are safe.

    Personally I do both.

  • This is why you should setup daily snapshots of your system volumes.

    Btrfs and ZFS exist for a reason.

  • Its never a war crime the first time.

  • Gaza hospital rejects MSF’s ‘unsubstantiated’ allegation on armed men

    Jump

  • I remember a time, when organization responded to such allegations with something like:

    "We take the allegations very seriously, are conducting an investigation and will respond in accordance with out policies and laws.

    These days everyone just goes directly on the attack and blames everyone.

    This is exactly what Israel does when people are critical of them. They shout and call them anti-Semitic.

    Its almost impossible to have allies with that attitude.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • I am referring to voltage drop consistency over distance.

    Say you are running two 15m cable runs for rear surround speakers. If you run very cheap cable, the amount of voltage, and thus volume, will not be the same across the two channels. In short runs, not enough to notice, but on longer runs you can.

    But there is no need for super expensive cable. You just need something durable and consistent enough.

  • Or grind a slot in the screw and you can use a flat head screwdriver.

    Be sure to upload the process and tag BMW with a FU.

  • The only reason for reasonable quality speaker cables, is so that you get consistant volume between left and right channels if the volume is the same. That and so they don't break when you pull on them.

  • What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear?

    Jump

  • In my case, I setup a ZFS pool of my disks in my old desktop PC running Proxmox. Then I allocated some storage to an LXC container running Debian and Samba for file sharing.

    In your case, since the QNAP already runs Samba, it would be best to run it directly on the NAS.

    But if you want to do it for the learning experience, you can setup an NFS share on the QNAP and link it to the Proxmox. The Proxmox can then use the NAS for storage and you can have VMs or LXC contsiners use for virtual disks.

  • What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear?

    Jump

  • I am quite satisfied with the unifi ecosystem so far as networking and CCTV systems go. They are cloud enabled without being cloud dependent. Since the early 2025 networking update, their routers are pretty good now. The UDM SE is a pretty compelling router/POEswitch/NVR in the home context.

    Their NAS ecosystem is still very new and I would not it a viable option yet. They are also leaning towards the vendor lock-in direction with drives. Its the same reason I would stay away from Synology and QNAP.

    Personally, I run a old desktop as a NAS/homelab running Proxmox(FOSS based hypervisor). I run ZFS on it and its "fine". It performs fine even with a mixed bunch of disks, provided you have them in pairs or groups of 3 that perform close to identically. I just run a Debian container on the Proxmox as my fileserver and a few VMs for homelabbing.

    One player that works well in a home environment is UnRAID. It a Linux distor that runs on commodity hardware and handles redundancy with "just a bunch of disks" better than most. The UI is friendly to non technical users. The catch is that UI is commercial software. Many consider it a fair exchange for the convenience it brings.

  • Swedish aerospace manufacturer Saab floats Gripen production hub in Canada, if Ottawa were willing

    Jump

  • Am am sure there is a internal program at Rolls Roycle to design such an engine for rapid development if needed. Probably for the F16 engine also.

  • This is the difference. Your arms supplier can't cut you off if you make parts locally.

    Now if only there was an engine that was not made in the US that fits the Gripen?

  • LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

    Jump

  • I think 50 inch is about the upper end for what can fit on a desk, but a 42 inch is the upper limit for most. I used to have a 42inch 4k monitor ($400), but it broke and got discontinued. It was basically a 42inch IPS TV display.

    I still miss that display.
