Meh, you’re not wrong, but I had the older gpd win2 for years and it was just incredible, nowhere near the power in this thing but full windows and a gamepad made steam rpgs endless fun.

But this is a walkable, plus full gaming pc with an egpu (becomes a monster actually).

Have my main server back home, while I’m traveling I have a script to reencode to av1 onto my local machine, works beautifully and the quality drop isn’t too bad (colors look weird but think that’s the Intel xe encoder)

Used to have miredo, which worked pretty well, but think they killed that.

Should still have old 6to4 protocols, they use ipv4 address tricks to get everything working.

Yes, but by very little.

You’re saving on GPU processing, but that’s unlikely to be that much for browsing.

This is something I’ve felt we’ve needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.

This is something I’ve wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.

They probably moved it to somewhere under /usr or /var/lib.

and I trust them as a company enough that I have no interest in self hosting vaultwarden.

I pay the subscription, but I trust no company that much.

Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.

I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.

It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.

Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.

I love what you did, especially the c++.

Using a unifi right now but this is the perfect replacement, especially since it’s programmable, just put a few nic ports on a vm and let it run.

Just beautiful.

Yeah, lidarr just takes care of it, and plexarr for playback.

Take a look, at the bottom there’s a way of seeing if it’s used.

You should be golden, you should be able to handle it trivially, especially with your chipset.

Oh wtf, hmm, I don’t know, let me check online, never tried on windows.

Same, and the apps work great.

I think you can check logs, but iirc you need x11 running for it to all work.

Also install vainfo and see what it says.

Iirc arch has a page with information on vaapi which might include details on how you enable plex.

The onboard gpu is likely more powerful than all but some workstation gpus you could add for transcoding, it’s more likely you don’t have hardware acceleration working properly.

Regarding the write cycles: If they ar used up the cells should enter a read only mode so that you should be able to recover the data from. Bad time if it’s the OS though.

This has never happened to me, but I suspect it’s because the controller is the primary failure point here.

Same, though I too switched to an aws instance and before that linode since 2008 or so.

Miss the old days of not having to worry about IPBL.

Lenovo m715q, ryzen 2400ge isn’t bad, put more ram and an nvme and it’s solid.

You need the Mac address, but the easiest way is to ssh to your rpi and run wol there.

I don’t know any wol apps for a phone, but I’m sure they exist.

I moved most of my apps into containers, the key is having your pulseaudio socket be accessible to the container and then editing /etc/pulse/client.conf in the container to point to that socket path.

Glx and all the major things work in containers, just a few bits of flakeyness you usually work through.
