I run a Celeron J1900 SFF PC. It has only 2 SATA ports, and doesn’t boot off PCI-E. I have used USB drives, but that’s not optimal. I try out new things on a laptop.

Now I’m also looking to upgrade.

Used workstations have SATA ports, but usually have Xeons in them, i think that means no QuickSync. And if they sell it with an old Quadro card, that’s too much for just a few video streams.

New builds get expensive fast. Also not many nice cases that are cheap.

Dedicated NASes are expensive because of the software and services they offer, but I don’t need those.

This is how far I’ve gotten, so I’m looking forward to seeing what other people have to say about it.

Dynamic Kernel Module Support.

Arch wiki:

The concept is to have DKMS modules automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.

Nice!

When I change my server, I always start from scratch, hoping that it will come out better.

I don’t know what I’m expecting, it was always working well…

I’ve seen this behavior mentioned on phones (Google, Samsung). They have a chip for the basic tasks, but for heavier stuff (e. g. images) they call home.

Weather underground is owned by IBM now

Boy do they let you know with A 5 SECOND SPLASH SCREEN on Android…

I have never thought about this. Thanks for pointing it out.

I use logseq. It has an Android app, and also desktop app (the latter being more complex). Also, it’s plain markdown.

But you have to sync the different devices yourself and be careful not to run two instances at the same time.

Many have said this. If you don’t need the GPIO, get a small PC.

I’ve just dipped my toes into it, but I imagine migrating to another machine to be just gorgeous…

I have just learned about Ubuntu Christian Edition.

Holy shit now I have to stick windows on my car!

Wait it already has those…

Thank God my laptop doesn’t.

The first point probably comes down to time. When they designed the phone, RAM was more expensive and phones came with 1-2-4 gigs.

The second one is manufacturing cost. If they could sell at least a few million units, it would be way cheaper.
