There are tons and tons of websites where you can create an account with just your email. I wouldn’t expect a third party account to be mandatory. Specially from a product like this one.

Maybe this is a pet peeve but it’s a vpn tool that forces you to log in with an “identity provider”. Yeah, no thanks.

It’s extremely easy to use and set up. You can also use it for free for up to 5 users I think and it has a lot more configuration options than Tailscale. In my case I didn’t have to change anything at all though, it was basically plug n play.

Not sure about what you mean by “business oriented”. It seemed pretty simple to me.

I prefer ZeroTier but both work.

Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There’s a reason why this is widely used and it’s not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can’t be easily replaced by “writing it out in code”. With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It’s hard to read but incredibly useful.

Yes and no? Being a niche product, I feel like there should be a diy option where you get all of the parts as a kit for a reduced price. Maybe 30-35USD would make more sense. At 70 I would not even consider this product tbh.

Which is another way of saying “wishful thinking”?

Source?

$70 for a macropad? You can buy an entire kb for that price.

I live in the city and the moonlight is clearly noticeable so I guess it depends. I mean, a city can be considered as such with as little as 50k people so I guess that, statistically, the majority of people that live in a city would most certainly notice the lack of moonlight.

You would notice the lack of light. The night isn’t pitch black xD

The moon also doesn’t emit it’s own light. It would take longer for the moon to “disappear” than it would for the sun but it wouldn’t be the whole night.

With a battery*

I would hope 16C/32T CPU from 2017 could handle software transcoding

I didn’t say it couldn’t handle it. Just that it was very inefficient.

peak power consumption while playing a movie does not really matter compared to idle power consumption

I mentioned both things. Did you actually read my comments?

I think it’s a point of a interest for any hw running 24/7 but you do you.

Regarding transcoding, are you saying you’re not even doing it? If you are, doing it with your cpu is far more inefficient than using a gpu. But again, different strokes I guess.

Isn’t ryzen not recommended for transcoding? Plus, I’ve read that power efficiency isn’t great. Mostly regarding idle power consumption.
