NVME / M.2 to 6x SATA boards, cheap enough on AliExpress.

I have an x16 PCIE bifurcated to 4 m.2 slots so a theoretical 24 SATA ports. Only one adaptor currently but lots of room to grow.

Cloudflared is such a nice feature, I have seperate tunnels for different services hosted on the one machine.

Depends on your ISP and where in the world you live.

I use NixOS on all my machines, much less pain and suffering than I’ve had on other distros.

Ahh man, I’d almost missed my appointment with the psych’ recently. At least my new one is local and easy to schedule with, get along well and are happy to trial Dexies’ (been on Ritalin for ~1yr)

Previously I could only find someone to prescribe me remotely, I’d spent ~10 months waiting for an appointment for the Psych’ to quit that clinic. Waited another 6 months and landed a script.

For me it’s been a significant improvement to my life, just took me until I was almost 40 to get diagnosed.

Simplex?

Depends on if you are space constrained or not.

If not any GPU can be an M.2 GPU, so long as you don’t mind the 4x lanes.

Plenty of riser kits available from AliExpress or similar etailors. I’ve got an old HP all-in-one I’ve considered strapping a GPU to for some encoding tasks (plex / frigate) but also for shits and giggles.

I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.

Need a side profile, looks can be deceiving.

If it’s that shape but thin it would go in the bin tbh. Nothing worse than bending a spoon shoveling ice cream into my mouth.

Man I hope next time I press windows and type an application by name, or by executable.exe I get a spinning icon then a stack of unrelated web results that are probably malware.

Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.

My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.

Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.

Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.

Yeah looks like the AU/NZ version of their site does not have those options. Not that I’d be out buying a new laptop anytime soon, but a used laptop 😎

Unsure if the issue is fixed upstream in the kernel however there are a few topics going in depth about this issue with some reported fixes / workarounds.

Good luck with the issue, hopefully one of these links fixes that problem for you 🍻

Pipewire works fine on my Intel 5960x, Intel N3700, Intel 9900k, Intel 9700, AMD 4800HS and even my Intel ES Erying system. No pops or crackles from any inputs or outputs.

I’ve not tried with a dedicated sound card, just the onboard on all these systems.

Running KDE on one system along with Hyprland on another two with the remainder as headless systems.

You sure this issue isn’t somehow related to your hardware or something else?

Works great and has been for some time on my P7P.

Ensure you’ve allowed background usage and turn off manage app if unused.

Keep the notification on and allow notifications.

One of my many 60% boards has a split spacebar which I use as modifier / layer toggle. Been using 60% since the original KBC Poker; I should really design some printable cases now that I think of it.

The bur seed clover in my lawn, shits a nightmare to deal with. Dogs get the seeds in every inch of fur, spread it around the lawn and hack them up when grooming themselves.

It’s mostly under control after a few years of tackling it.

I’d love another variant to replace the horrible one I’ve got.

Oh man flashbacks to those, I remember they were considered antiquated when I was first getting into PCs 20+ years ago 🫠

I’ll be moving to https://github.com/schizofox/schizofox on my x86 machines.

Mobile will be a fork of Firefox.

https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird is a project I’m keeping an eye on, will be a while off being a daily driver.
