I still find them preferable. Less “sponsored” stuff, etc. More tags, etc. for search.

It makes them less worthwhile. But we can definitely agree that jellyfin’s security issues are also bad, and should be fixed.

On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, the point here was more that the centralised design of Plex that necessitates an online account which might hold some private data makes such issues much worse, not that jellyfin’s issued should not be fixed.

Maybe? Like, I’d very much prefer they fix them, even though they do not impact my use case.

I have a server on AM4 that is running fine, but the 16Gigs of ram are getting tight and I might need 32. All other aspects of the system are completely sufficient. Why should I get a new CPU and board?

Yeah, but you can run jellyfin with local accounts, entirely within a VPN. Pretty much makes most security issues irrelevant.

Probably applies to most used Laptops right now. Also, I have some thinkpad nostalgia, but the similar skus from other manufacturers will also do, though they put course have the same problem.

Generally, you of course always need to research the specific hardware. Also, my current one is on 8th gen, still does the job for now.

I’d buy a macbook, but it’s a lot more expensive than my “throw Linux on a used corporate thinkpad” approach, and I can tolerate macOS, but don’t love it. If you’re in the market for a new premium laptop, I think they’re pretty established, and I do think people are buying them.

Ampere workstations are cool, but in a price range where most customers are probably corporate, and they’ll mostly buy what they know works. I think their offerings are mostly niche for engineers who do dev work with stuff that will run on arm servers.

I’d say non-corporate arm adoption will grow when there’s more affordable new and used options from mainstream manufacturers. Most people won’t go for an expensive niche option, and probably don’t care about architecture. Most Apple machines probably sell because they’re Apple machines, not because of the chip inside.

I don’t know exact numbers, but I do feel that arm server adoption isn’t going to badly, especially with new web servers.

They also own Politico and Insider/Business Insider. Feel like too few people are aware of that.

Using a Pixel 8a with a Tensor G3, a chip that’s regularly called a bit underpowered.

My phone before that had a Snapdragon 765G, another pretty midrange SoC. I couldn’t name a single app that isn’t running perfectly fluently.

I dunno what apps you are using, but as far as I can see, there just isn’t any relevant difference in daily usage between current mid-range and flagship SoCs.

Software is what matters to me, and you couldn’t pay me to use a phone to use a phone on OneUI, with, if the current news are accurate, no more path to running anything other than the Stock Rom.

Why though? Unless you’re really into mobile gaming, I don’t see any difference in day to day usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

New Vector forked the matrix foundation owned projects for synapse, dendrite, and element, and pulled all their devs, changing the license and bringing them under closer control. The foundation repos are now archived, and only the new vector owned ones are being actively developed. They sell an enterprise license for their element server suite that, at least according to their copy, seems more performant, and also offers admin tools that the free version lacks.

If you want to run a public instance that allows registration, you pretty much need some kind of external admin tool for moderation.

It’s of course still better than pretty much all proprietary options, but also quite some room for improvement.

Take this with a grain of salt, I don’t have it deployed right now, but if I remember the current state correctly, one on one calls are a thing, group calls aren’t.

I’m pretty sure that warning used to be on the UEFI download page for Biostar boards, but they’ve completely redesigned it, so if it was them, it isn’t there anymore.

I’ve seen some Asus and MSI Boards getting only uefi updates marked as beta, with the next update, months later, also being marked as beta. With Asus, there have been allegation that they try to get out of warranty claims this way.

I’ve had less problems with Dell and Lenovo, which probably comes from them being more enterprise focused. I think the problem is that the for the average consumer, uefi updates are last on their mind when picking a board.

Apple, and, to a lesser degree, Lenovo and Dell, seem hardly comparable, since their focus isn’t selling mainboards as a stand-alone component.

I saw 6 bands during 2 concerts last week, three of them kinda rock/blues, three of them metal. All of them drank water from normal water bottles while on stage. No one cared.

What I don’t like about Matrix is that it’s most visible homeserver and client implementations feel like they are being developed as a product by New Vector Ltd., not a community project.

The lack of group voice calls is what mainly kept me from adopting that. Hope they get that working soon.

Yeah. I an hosting a homeserver for my ttrpg groups, but it doesn’t have any federation enwbled at all, and sign ups are invite-only.

The amount of work needed to moderate a public instance, especially with the lacking tools available, seems crazy. Also, I don’t love it that New Vector has an implementation for an admin console, that seems to be available exclusively for paying subscribers to the enterprise version of their element server suite.

This implies a world in which motherboard vendors actually regularly publish updates for their boards, or publish information about a board being officially end-of-life, which, for many consumer boards, just isn’t the case.

Some vendors still have a red flag on their support page discouraging uefi updates unless you’re actively experiencing problems.

I’m in Germany, and it works pretty fine. They’ve got several datacenters around here, never had an issue with speed or latency.

I don’t like that they got that evil megacorp vibe, but what big Internet firm doesn’t?

Well, I need to run two separate tunnels to not run into hairpinning issue, so, some weirdness, I guess. More down to my services, though.
