Honestly looks like it’s not much of a downgrade. I enjoyed even my OG V1 Pebble so I imagine it’s plenty swanky.

None of these metrics actually measure anything comparatively. They say things like it “tows a car” and “lifts 270lbs”, but under what circumstances? Surface area? Temperature? Sheer force?

There’s also no comparison against other adhesives to know how these values compare.

I don’t doubt it’s an impressive accomplishment. I just wish I could get an idea for how impressed I should be.

Unless you’re overlocking or just have really bad case design, either one will fair about the same. I went with an AIO purely for the aesthetic and haven’t had a single issue. Install was pretty easy too. I haven’t personally heard any horror stories of the AIO loops failing catastrophically but that’s anecdotal at best.

This sounds like a goods idea until people start voting for certain people to get less education. Oh wait…

Don’t get me wrong, the visual design on this is cool and all, but I can’t read this for shit.

I’d you preordered the Time 2, you can still update your preorder to the Round 2.

Awesome! I missed that, thank you :)

This made me feel a bit dizzy reading that.

The line

I got me 100 GB of RAM

from Weird Al’s All About The Pentiums will need to be updated to 100 GB of cache.

You’re not wrong, hence my mention about them being no saint. But you can’t argue the fact the with all of the open standards available, none of them work nearly as well as Apple’s implementations. I say this using both Mac and Linux interchangeably on a daily basis. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. When I need a space for creative work, I use my Mac. When I need a space for gaming or experimental software or programming, I use Linux. When I’m feeling masochistic, I save a VM of Windows Me for late nights when the roommate’s not around.

I think this every time I see the format. He’s literally squinting in the shot with the glasses on!

I ended up making the choice to just avoid the games that don’t work under Linux. They seem to all be almost exclusively AAA twitch shooters that require far too much from me as a player anyway.

The only way I can vote on the topic is with my wallet.

It’s interesting you mention Apple because their products benefit tremendously from vertical integration in ways that directly benefit the consumer.

We can argue all day about price, but as far as features, the interconnectedness of Apple stuff is way better than anyone else. The ability to seamlessly jump from your laptop to your phone to your TV and smart speaker and have it all routed to your account means that you only have to manage that one account.

Again, there are more consumer-friendly ways of doing this and Apple isn’t a saint, but there are recognizable benefits that come along with it.

I’m a bit disappointed all we have is one bad picture.

No, no. Feel free to go all socialist here. That’s what Lemmy is for. :)

ProxMox is what's known as a HyperVisor or Virtual Machine. The general concept is that each element in ProxMox is an entire operating system, with each service configured in those operating systems. This requires maintaining and configuring an operating system for each service you want to run, or if you install multiple services in a singe host node, you're back to the config conficts that we're trying to avoid in the first place.

Docker's approach is different. With Docker, You can use any host, including a daily desktop OS with many sort of half-VMs that only have access to specific parts of the system as defined in the Docker configuration. For instance, if you just need a service that handles chat, it doesn't need to access much outside its own data and a port to access the internet. So instead of needing to manage the OS and the service, you're left with just the service.

Another major boon is that it's very easy to simply turn them off and back on and have them revert to their working state. If you really manage to screw up a configuration, no more digging through the OS to try and figure out what you can and can't delete. You just nuke the system and try again. Outside writing the changes, it takes just a few seconds to reboot the service.

And one last bonus is that again, it's very portable when using Docker Compose. Docker Compose takes this a step further and lets you configure the entire service through a single config file. You can put together multi-service database applications with a copy-paste and a few changes to the config. Absolutely massive time saver for people like me who are terrible at managing database applications, but really enjoy the benefits of them.

I used to do the VM approach, but having one script to one service works way better for me personally.

I’ve dabbled in it for a couple years, but this was my first year embracing docker. I now run way more services than I ever have before and don’t shy away from testing new ones out.

I went from someone who avoided new installs at all costs due to the litany of things that could go off the rails to someone who can find a new piece of software and have it running the same afternoon.

It also allows me to do a bunch of testing with a piece of software at home, then just copy and modify the config at work quilt having to waste precious time setting things up.

I know not everyone is a fan, but my god it’s useful.

Got annoyed when things started coming and going as early as 2018 and started a Blu-Ray collection. About 80% of it is secondhand. I’ll admit I still have a couple streaming services, but all the stuff I know I like is readily and consistently available now.

There’s so many good ones to choose from, but the one that sprang to mind first for me was the movie Metro. Something about how all the characters felt so believable and the set design was phenomenal.
