You should maybe read about the use cases for deduplication before using it. Here’s one recent article:

If you mostly store legit Blu-ray rips, the answer is probably no, you should not use zfs deduplication.
Yeah… So I’m in Berlin, and in Germany the internet operators finally are building fiber everywhere. The provider who lays the fiber to our street is Deutsche Telekom, and they promise to pay everything: laying the fiber, bringing it to our house and bringing the fiber to every apartment for a two year monopoly on fiber internet after which it’s up for competition using their cables. What needs to happen next is our landlord (a Swiss company) and house management company to agree on these guys to come in, put little fiber dividers to every floor and drill a hole to the walls so we get the fiber cable to our apartment.
Of course this being Germany, they are very slow on agreeing on that, we might need to go to court and for sure we need to talk to our neighbors who own their apartments to push them a bit. I’d expect us to get the connection maybe before end of 2025. But eventually it will happen…
I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.
I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.
Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.
Neither of them is better than the other, it’s just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don’t work.
Linux kernel updated to 64 bit time quite recently. In 2038 I can guarantee somebody in a very serious business is still using an ancient RHEL and will have issues.
And not using 32-bit integers to calculate time. Which is still a thing in many many many codebases written in C or C++…
I can validate this. I work as the IT ops guy for every Fortune 500 company and we only use RAID-0 for backups.
Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.
The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.
Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.
Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There’s also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.
I’ve been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:
Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you’ll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.
Rust and Cargo enters the room.
We’ve been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.
I run invidious at home on my proxmox server. The server is available everywhere with tailscale, so I can use it even when travelling. If Google ever blocks this, nobody at home can watch youtube anymore…
And LLM is mostly for investors, not for users. Investors see you “do AI” even if you just repackage GPT or llama, and your Series A is 20% bigger.
Upper middle class gays somewhere in Gilbert Arizona who just want to see their retirement savings to go zoink. You have your walled swimming pool and Trader Joe’s nearby.
At the same time Windows is going down the drain, so if you compare removed to that it definitely has an edge. And that 8GB Air is not that expensive either… And fanboy can tell you it can swap to SSD so fast blah blah…
But if you have the knowledge to use Linux, there are less and less reasons to go even near removed computers…
Yeah. Scary stuff. I live in central Berlin, and it’s pretty relaxed here. Did the Mauerlauf last weekend and immediately when you cross the Brandenburg border to some of these villages, they’re full of AfD advertisement. Berlin is definitely the Portland of Germany :D
I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there’s always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:
I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.
I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it’s hard to switch :(
