Anyone on Lemmy play this game? Is it any good?

Looks to me like another moba copy and paste.

Very excited about this. Some strategy games are a pain to play with the controller (Cities: Skylines, Stellaris, Dune: Spice Wars).

I wonder what other viruses we could eliminate if we had a seasonal quarantine.

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Can you post your scripts?

Yes absolutely. Virtual land = Yet another NFT

Have you ever had to cut your network?

I mean…

I gotta say, I really hate it when people say this statement.

That’s a pithy saying, but the cloud is a totally different model than a “computer”.

The concept of “cloud” (generally) has its own way of interacting with tooling, it’s got a huge economy of scale that brings resiliency, a ton of interconnected services, etc. There’s more to it than just computers.

That’s like saying “the Highway doesn’t exist, it’s just someone else’s driveway.”—yeah, but there’s more to it than just streets.

You might want to transfer your domain to another registrar. I use namecheap and they have a “catch all” option that’s free to use. You just set a single forwarding email and everything sent to your domain arrives there.

I would recommend putting that modem in Bridge mode and getting something like a TP-Link Omada device. I’ve had them for a while and have been really happy.

THE BEST bot

Interesting design. I’ve never seen a device that has power buttons on each drive bay.

Yes I think you’re right, but also IANAL. From what I learned in a mandatory class at work, I think the GDPR only covers commercial activity. GDPR is supposed to protect citizens when engaging in commerce:

an entity or more precisely an “enterprise” has to be engaged in “economic activity” to be covered by the GDPR.

Lemmy doesn’t charge a subscription fee or sell ads (yet), so it’s acting as a kind of personal messaging system for communicating between people. The GDPR explicitly says it doesn’t regulate personal messaging systems like email. I think Lemmy would fall under that exemption clause.

That’s what a bot would say!!

Yeah it’s really difficult to get Mac OS virtualized… I don’t know why, but my VMs always slow down after about 15 minutes and are unusable.

Old laptops can are actually great servers—hear me out:

• Built in KVM
• Low power consumption
• Battery = UPS for power blips
• SSD (sometimes)
• Wifi + Ethernet = Redundant NICs
• Quiet (sometimes)
• Small form factor

Confusing bug. I thought I was doing something wrong.
