What kind of compression are they using if a H tier 12th gen i5 is running at 100% usage? I doubt a laptop with that tier of a CPU has that great of an SSD that can saturate the CPU. Unless it’s single threaded or something.

Yeah I was gonna say I think I have like a 2000 ratio for Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, server, and some 3rd one that I’ve been seeding since it came out.

W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware

Windows 10 is the exact same BS, but 10% less in your face AI. Have people really been frog boiled this badly?

That hasn’t worked on any (good) machine for the last 20 years. Especially now in the EFI age any important settings like that are stored in nvram.

In 3 years I haven’t had a single attempted connection that wasn’t me. Once you get to the ephemeral ports nobody is scanning that high.

I’m not saying run no security or something. Just nobody wants to scan all 65k ports. They’re looking for easy targets.

Change the port it runs on to be stupid high and they won’t bother.

Zfs through trunas will let you do raid 1, then jbod more raid 1s as you add more drives. That’s how I’ve gradually gone from 2 12TB, to 14TBs, the. Finally up to 20TBs without any hassle. I’m sure other software raids will do the same.

If you took the sticker off but the adhesive is left over just keep resticking and peeling it off. Do it quickly just push down and off.

Why have two computers doing basically the same job when you could just have one?

Have the NAS be the media server and save power and get better performance.

If they had said it was a managed device, I never would have accepted it.

Did you really expect them to just give you a 100% free tablet out of the goodness of their hearts no strings attached? If a company gives you a device without any management then they have incompetent IT staff.

As long as they’re not back to back I don’t mind. But what I HATE is people that spam out like 30 posts in one go. I don’t want an entire page to be posts from one person/community.

I especially hate it when it’s the exact same link, but different communities (shouldn’t be an issue for OP, but I hate that shit). Lemmy really needs to fix that. I don’t mind people cross posting 30 times, but I only want to see the same link once per page.

edit it’s not the fan making the noise either, I’ve manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it’s a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I’m hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out

If manually limiting your GPUs fan speed doesn’t change it then GPU usage isn’t the cause. The spike in usage is just a symptom.

If you do that then you’re probably violating your ISPs TOS and they’d can you anyways, and if they really don’t like you sue for it.

When I was a teenager I slept through a fire alarm once. I didn’t wake up until my mom walked in the room. I woke up before she said anything. Just her existing in my room for 0.5 seconds woke me.

So… idk.

Plex really needs to do a Tailscale style connection to your server. But instead they chose to keep their outdated method of funneling all of their traffic through their servers, and need to charge lots of money in order to pay for it.

Holy shit this ones crusty. (I couldn’t find the one I wanted)

Easiest fix: on’t be white.

Second easiest fix: hang out around non white people.

But seriously though all my white friends who never grew up eating spicy food had problems with spicy food at first. After years of being around people who eat spicy food they’ve gotten used to it.

You should still be able to get a secured card.

Would you rather a difficult and hard to use program?

Easy to use means people will want to adopt it, and that’s what VC companies want. Nobody wants to pay millions of dollars to make a program that nobody wants to use.
