Do you mean 12600K, or do you really mean 2600K? These days, I wouldn't use anything older than 9th gen, especially if you plan on doing any video transcoding with Jellyfin (transcoding means converting the video to a different format while streaming, usually to reduce bandwidth usage when watching videos away from home).
See if there's any e-waste recyclers in your area. A lot of companies are throwing out systems that don't officially run Windows 11, so you can sometimes find systems with 8th and 9th gen Intel Core processors for very cheap.
Search is pretty expensive in terms of CPU and RAM usage, so it's a common target in DDoS attacks and I'm not too surprised that they lock it down. Github also requires you to log in to use their code search.
I think sometimes people forget that one of the main features of Git is that it's decentralized. You don't need Github; just push your repo to a different remote.
Everyone that clones the repo (usually) has a full copy of it, including all history, and theoretically you can clone the repo directly from their copy. Of course, that's often not practical, which is how we ended up with these centralized services.
The main issue with losing a Github repo is the auxiliary non-Git-powered features of Github, like issue tracking.
They lose money from it (people that used to pay for an account to get private repos no longer need to) which is why Github didn't do it when they were independent.
Every new feature added to Github has made it more unpleasant to use
Free private repositories, Github Actions, and Github Packages are all pretty useful though. All of those were added under Microsoft's ownership. Actions got a head start because it was built on top of Azure DevOps infra that Microsoft had already created.
I get the Pro version for free since I've worked on a few popular open-source projects. I'm using it in VS Code and it's helped me write code for systems I'm unfamiliar with. I've used it to summarize the architecture of open-source projects so I understand how to contribute new features. The autocompletion can be pretty good too. I also use it to review my code.
We use Claude Code with the Opus 4.5 model at work, and it's quite a bit better, but I don't want to pay that much for an AI model for personal projects since I use it so infrequently.
I don't know many people that still call it "Microsoft Office"... They usually refer to the individual apps they use (Word, Excel) rather than the suite as a whole.
Some people just call it "Microsoft" ("please install Microsoft on my computer"), especially if they're on MacOS where it's the only Microsoft software they use.
Some people assume it's part of Windows since they've only ever used computers that have had it preinstalled.
If you're not getting 100% full strength signal, it is literally unwatchable.
It depends... Sometimes it's terrible, while other times even low signal strength is fine. I only get around 65% signal strength and 75% signal quality for one channel (ABC, I think?), and it still works fine with no stuttering.
I use a HDHomeRun TV tuner, so I can place the antenna where I get the best signal, and the HDHomeRun transmits it over my LAN.
How often do you type IP addresses? That's what DNS is for. The only time I use IPs is when I haven't configured a DNS record yet (and in the DNS configuration, of course).
Exactly. Most good ISPs will give you a /56 or /60 range if your router asks for it, and then you can subnet it into multiple /64 ranges (16 /64 networks for a /60, or 256 networks for a /56).
I have three VLANs with internet access (main, guest, and IoT), and each one gets its own /64 range.
Note that you shouldn't use subnets smaller than a /64, as several features (such as SLAAC and privacy extensions) rely on it.
