All company VPNs I’ve used limit the tunnel to the intranet, the internet doesn’t go through there. But that’s a matter of choice I guess.

I mean, he could be a milkshake veteran that’s formerly military

Times New Roman is disgusting

China wisely prefer s economic domination rather than military. And Russia’s still got nukes.

My opinion is that only 2 Fallout games were made: Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.

Fight me.

So, work and home.

Work, therefore Windows: has to be a tie between (new) Outlook and VMWare workstation. New outlook is absolute crap, just like all new windows app, I guess it must be Electron-based as it crashes or fails to load sometimes when you open it without connecting to the internet, and displays a blank window. VMware is such crap with poor performance, hang-ups and their fucking “this VM is already in use, take ownership?” dialogs that never work.

Home: I’d say FreeCAD. I mean, I love that they’re developing it, I donated and I hope it’ll have a similar trajectory to Blender, but right now it’s really frustrating to use. Frequent crashes, solving errors, even adding a simple bevel is often a challenge, many simple things require complex procedures that make little sense to new users. It’s crazy how, when you add a feature it can’t solve, your model just disappears, and you have to open up the diagnostic buffer to find out why.

Same for the fascists and mafia in Italy, they weren’t purged because communists bad

The host is running Proxmox, so I guess their kernel just works with it.

It does run the fan way more than I’d like, but its noise is drowned out by the original AMD cooler on the CPU anyway, but thanks for the info, I may look into it… But I guess I’d have to set up GPU pass-through on a VM just for that.

Drivers? Are you running it on Windows? On Linux I just plugged it in and it worked, Jellyfin transparently started transcoding the additional codecs.

It fixed my issue with tone mapping, before this HDR files on my not-so-old TV showed the wrong colors.

I think we need to qualify “idling”, my NAS runs bittorrent with thousands of torrents, so it’s never really “idle”, it just isn’t always doing intensive processing such as transcoding.

Eh, TBH I’d like to consume less power, but I mean, a 30-40W difference isn’t going to ruin me or the planet, I’ve got a rather efficient home all in all.

And more freedom.

I think you can install OpenMediaVault on that, at least I used to run it on a Pi 3 and an USB drive. Then just run whatever docker container you wish to.

as long as you drop the video card

As I wrote below, some motherboards won’t POST without a GPU.

Take only that extra and you probably have a few years usage before additional electricty costs overrun NAS cost. Where I live that’s around 5 years for an estimated extra 10W.

Yeah, and what’s more, if one of those appliance-like NASes breaks down, how do you fix it? With a normal PC you just swap out the defective part.

So I did this, using a Ryzen 3600, with some light tweaking the base system burns about 40-50W idle. The drives add a lot, 5-10W each, but they would go into any NAS system, so that’s irrelevant. I had to add a GPU because the MB I had wouldn’t POST without one, so that increases the power draw a little, but it’s also necessary for proper Jellyfin transcoding. I recently swapped the GPU for an Intel ARC A310.

By comparison, the previous system I used for this had a low-power, fanless intel celeron, with a single drive and two SSDs it drew about 30W.

tbf I expected worse

My parents did that. Results were not pretty.

Why the hurry? She’s not running away, and if she were, then marrying wouldn’t solve that.

Pro enough to be one of the last employees remaining, but not pro enough to find new employment sooner?

Why do you have a library of kiss’s shoes?

Not really, shortage in one category spills over to the next ones as well
