I very nearly bought one back in the day. Instead I opted for an mp3 player with compact flash storage. I believe I was tired of my cd based walkman’s tendency to skip when I was moving so I wanted a smaller, non-moving drive.
Then my dumbass bought one of those compact flash drives with an internal platter harddrive.
Several comments specifically talked about VMs for the various apps. And frankly I’m not super familiar with the limitations of containerizing apps either. That’s part of why I was looking for an immutable os + flatpacks / snaps - it’s much more similar to a normal linux system just organized in a way to not break shit.
Is there a performance impact on the jellyfin server by having the NAS on a separate machine? How long does it take to serve a 20gb rip of a bluray?
Honestly I had never built an NAS and installed an OS on it before. I’ve only ever used the junk that ASUSTOR puts out and I want to have control over things. So a good part of the reason I asked on here was to see what other people had done and why.
Oh I like the look of that.
It’s mostly for running media servers like jellyfin.
I want immutability because I come from a the debian world where everything just works. But I want the benefits of using modern versions of packages.
Yeah but it was an unsecure piece of shit for more than the past decade
Yeah that’s the case with programming… well anything. This at least gives you a way to automatically receive all of that data from any app without excessive prior knowledge. With a small amount of info you can filter for specific events and create all kinds of robust functionality. That’s the power of a set protocol - it is to make things widely compatible with one another by only depending on the dbus protocol and app name. Otherwise you may need to depend on some shared objects which makes deployment and maintenance a total clusterfuck.

It’s much easier to understand how dbus works once than to understand how every daemon you connect to works every time you interface with a new daemon.
Oh damn I want one now. I’ve gone caseless since my last case disintegrated and I really prefer it this way now. But a tether would be a welcome addition.
I used to love Thinkpad laptops up until Lenovo bought the line - build quality dropped off a cliff after that. I’ve avoided them since then so I can’t comment on their current build qualities except to say they used to be built stronger than those toughbooks with handles.
Once you get the hang of it, you can win like 95% of the games.
In the first ten levels, starve yourself and only eat at 30% hp.
Use corners and other obstacles to your advantage to get sneak-attacks.
Don’t equip any unidentified equipment if possible - especially if it is suspiciously high level for the area. It is probably cursed.
Save up your upgrade scrolls until you find some tier 4 or 5 weapons and armor. If you’re a mage, just dump them in your wand of fire from lvl 1 with no regrets.
Learn how the bosses attack. The slime hits really hard after charging, so figure out how to dodge or get out of range.
Yeah but how is the experience? While I’m not a fan of MacOS the polish and integration with the hardware is excellent. Hmm… I may need to see if I can dual boot this machine and check it out myself.
I haven’t ever tried to root an android device and Linuxify it before. Now I am curious. I use Linux at work but I am no greybeard and that task sounds like something suited for someone with a little more crust than myself.

ARM is a RISC processor at heart. Or at least it was at one point - I’m not sure how or if they’ve deviated. Time for some wikipedia.
All of the others were just USB 2.0. Comparing them to a TB4 cable is kind of hilarious.
Honestly if you want it to be portable, you’re going to have to use a RISC processor. The x86 processors are just so energy inefficient for most instructions that the battery is drained too quickly and it requires a much bigger battery to compensate.
The reason they moved back is because Excel.
