Hah well, I just tested the built in graphics and it worked. If you wanna give me more details on what you have I can try to help

Portability/modularity/plus I have an Intel Arc GPU. The drivers just played nicer on Windows when it comes to transcoding (which you said wasn’t an issue.) But most of my services are on separate barebones VMs because they’re just easier to work with.

I went with a “traditional” desktop because I already had a big ass Be Quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro. Also I don’t trust hardware raid, and a regular desktop is infinitely more flexible.

For instance: I threw two GPUs in there! Little one for transcoding, big one for gaming. So I can play a game while my girlfriend watches a movie in the other room. Plus I can keep shoving drives in there until I run of room. A dedicated NAS is much more limited

Hm so are you trying to pass through your onboard graphics?

I’d say so. My buddy is into gaming, but I only have one computer. To get around anti-cheat, I tricked a Windows VM into thinking that it’s running on bare metal. I pass through my GPU to it and I can play on medium quality settings just fine

Oh shit I may have advice. I have a setup similar to what you’re shooting for! Proxmox is the absolute best thing ever. I used to just run plain Debian with some docker and random services. Now I have proxmox, and for my desktop I pass my GPU through to a VM that is my desktop.

I’ve got half a dozen VMs, one of them has the arr stack hooked up to a raid 6 array (7 14 TB drives), and another VM running jellyfin (and I use Kodi to play stuff on my nvidia shield)

First advice of the top of my head, gosuperhard and serverpartsdeals on eBay are amazing. They sell used industry drives for a fraction of the cost, just shoot for the ones that have warranties

And to clarify to you specifically and the three-ish people that upvoted me, on a weekly basis he helps a 40 year old dude with multiple sclerosis do history homework, and they were covering the second world war. He read the Wikipedia of fascism, and he literally said that he had no idea it was a right wing ideology.

What can I glean from that? I have no fucking clue. Fuck Nazis, fuck republicans. I can only hope that there is a large group of people voting conservative who dont understand the consequence of this next election. Because if you’re right than like 40% of the country are bigots, and even if the Democrats win, we’re *still fast tracking to collapse

That’s very not true. And it’s honestly scarier. I work about ten minutes from Trump’s first assassination attempt.

My boss is a good Christian who didn’t know that fascism is a far right ideology.

They’re in their own echo chamber, just like we are. They just don’t understand that their echo chamber leads to a Hitler 2.0.

Java was my first language over ten years ago. I haven’t touched it in a decade (I’m mostly a hobbyist). I am grateful that I had to type all that shit out, and grateful that I don’t have to anymore (I’ve been using python since then).

I just recently helped a younger friend with their Java homework. I had to Google the syntax, but otherwise helped them ace it. I’ve mostly used Python since then, but learning java gave me such a good base of the fundamentals

Maybe you could sync the file with Syncthing or Nextcloud. And sqlite is the default android db type… I’m tempted to give it a shot, I just started looking for a solid self hosted note taking thing

Cloudflare has a free tier for domains, although they’re a little sketch. But they also support DDNS, so which updates the IP that your domain points to when it changes

Broken how? I work at a computer repair shop, and I’ve worked on dozens upon dozens of phones. I have different advice based on if it’s the screen, digitizer, or whatever that’s not working

Don’t touch it! I’ve been working at a repair shop for a while, leave it unplugged and write down the pin.

If you want more specific advice, let me know the model of the phone. Most phones should power on if the battery is removed and it’s plugged in. I can talk you through data recovery if you want

You definitely can. Podcast Addict has per podcast override settings

You’re not wrong, and I’m upvoting everything you say because I hate the smug SO people who ask why instead of actually trying to help.

But in this specific case, there’s literally no reason to use OpenOffice, it’s discontinued. People shouldn’t have to explain how to use a defunct software with an addendum.

It’s not an obscure programming language with an edge case, it’s a word processor.

Hah oh shit. I’m a reddit refugee, seeing you feels like seeing like a local celebrity. Thanks for modding that sub, I was there a lot

Jesus I’ve been using Linux for years and your comment just made this really click for me. Do you think Linus is protected by governments and stuff? Like I know he didn’t make all of it, and there’s lots of forks, but he’s defacto in charge… That’s gotta be a lot of soft power

Check out an app called Parallel Space. I used it once to have two accounts in a game ages ago. It’s been a while so I don’t know how it’s going now, but it worked pretty well when I used it

Oh shit I missed that news completely. I got mine in April and rooted it right away. Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to block updates and really avoid a full reset

Whaat? I’m sending this comment from a Zenfone 9 with an unlocked bootloader. It’s not too difficult

Fuck yeaaahh
