- Comment on Looking for suggestions for game streaming server 1 month ago:
I use a 2016 Asus Zenbook with integrated intel gpu.
The performance is comparable. The only thing that’s different is latency, obviously, although it’s fairly negligible on LAN, and encoding/decoding sometimes createa artifacts and smudges, but it’s better at higher bandwidth.
- Comment on Looking for suggestions for game streaming server 1 month ago:
My box sits in my closet, so can’t really help much with docker or vm. But I use sunshine server with moonlight client. Keep in mind you can’t fight latency that comes from distance between server and client. I can use 4/5G for turn based or active pause games but wouldn’t try anything real time. On cable my ping is under ms, enough to play shooters as badly as I do these days.
I use AMD for CPU and GPU, and wouldn’t try nvidia if using Linux as sever.
I did use to run a VM in xenserver/xcp-ng and passthrough gpu with a mock hdmi screen plug. A windows 10 vm, ran very well bar pretty crap CPU but I did get around 30fps in 1080p tarkov, sometimes more with amd upscalling. Back then I was using parsec, but found sunshine and moonlight works better for me.

That’s exactly my point.
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 2 months ago:
For cold storage it makes sense, but I always consider UX - there’s not enough solutions that make private key encryption, especially remote, as easy as opening a link or mounting to a directory.
I’ve used s3ql before, and it’s really nice for making the encryption transparent. Not something pre-encrypting before dropbox upload can provide.
More, you wanna share those files via dropbox native tools? The recipient better have your private key or you need to reencrypt specifically for them.Mentioned tool: github.com/s3ql/s3ql

I like learning french because it shows me how weird the connections to english are.
“Chez Steve” means “At Steve’s [place]”. This one is more verbose in english.
But you can say “chez moi” for “at home”. And no need to specify which home.
- Comment on Anyone got Tubearchivist running in Kubernetes? 2 months ago:
It’s generic advice, but check
kompose
- it can translate docker compose yml into a bunch of k8s objects, as far as it sensibly can.The mose issues can come from setting up volumes, since docker has different expectations towards the underlying filesystem.
It does save a bunch of work of rewriting everything by hand.

- Comment on When Pi-hole is down? 4 months ago:
I think it depends. In my limited experience, because I have not tested this thoroughly, most systems pick the first DNS adresses and only send requests to the second if first doesn’t respond.
This has lead at least a couple of times to extremely long timeouts making me think the system is unresponsive, especially with things like kerberos ssh login and such.
I personally set up my DHCP to provide pihole as primary, and my off site IPA master as secondary (so I still have internal split brain DNS working in case the entire VM host goes down).
Now I kinda want to test if that offsite DNS gets any requests in normal use. Maybe would explain some ad leaks on twitch.tv (likely twitch just using the same hosts for video and ads, but who knows).

This, plus making bigger eink displays with reasonable refresh and antighosting is a pain. They are proportionately more expensive.

Orly. Hm, may try to setup some kind of support/mirror instance. I don’t have a lot of space but could be helpful maybe.

Hmm, I don’t see anyone campaigning for funds. Honestly I’d chip in to my instance, but I don’t know if they even have a paypal.
- Comment on Longhorn overkill for RAID ? 6 months ago:
Longhorn isn’t just about replication (which is not backup, and RAID is not backup either). Also if you only have one replica, is it even different from local storage at this point?
You’d use longhorn to make sure applications don’t choke and die when the storage they are using go down. Also, I’m not sure if you can supply longhorn storage to nodes that don’t run it. I haven’t tried it.
I suspect all pods that you’d define to use longhorn would only go up at the longhorn replica node.
All this is how I understand longhorn works. I haven’t tried it this way, my only experience is running it on every node so if one node goes down pods can just restart on any other node and carry on.

- Comment on Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12 7 months ago:
They already fucked with start menu and search and it’s already a problem for IT. I can’t find any app I got installed unless I spell it out right, and even then it might work with just 3/8 letters in but no further.
Sometimes I just click through program files cause it’s faster.
- Comment on Everything I've learned building the fastest Arm desktop - Jeff Geerling 8 months ago:
I have no experience with Windows for ARM, but what I know of Windows update tells me the patch environment for that platform haven’t gotten up from before rollup era and a new image needed to process hundreds of updates. Especially if it was and “old” image.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 8 months ago:
Winget is pretty cool, but I’m not sure how it works exactly. The package sourcing, like anything Microsoft does is a bit sus and I’m worried it’s crowdsourced.
It’s great for passively checking for new versions of most software you got installed, won’t argue with that.
