Weird thing to downvote, this is how I tested Linux since if I broke something or wanted to try a different distro I just deleted the VM and tried another. It's way more annoying to distrohop once you've installed a system to your machine that also has all your files and configs set up.

Nothing over here like that. Seems quite consistent on memory usage.

Youtube is basically an RSS feed for people who don't know RSS feeds (...myself included)

I just memorise the IPs lmao. then again I only have 1 or 2 hosts up on my network ever

I find link shorteners useful for sharing (ephemeral) links to others (especially if they're massive) but for linking stuff on the web where you can hide it under an anchor tag is definitely a bad idea.

RISC-V is just about at pi3 levels of performance so it's not really that good for end user stuff yet. Alibaba launched a new core recently that might improve things though.

On their servers? possibly. RISC-V is competitive when you stuff a bunch of cores into it and make it do basic server tasks that haven't gotten more complex over the years. And in AI, you may just need a cheap CPU to orchestrate your GPUs/NPUs so anything will work there.

I think we'll see m1+ levels of desktop performance on RISCV within the next 4 years though. trump will do wonders for the Chinese semiconductor industry.

It's gonna happen I think.

Desktop ARM is great but it's still locked behind like 2 vendors (Snapdragon and Apple) and has hardware more locked down than x86.

x86 is, well, x86.

RISC-V might be slower right now but China's mega investment is going to force others to rush into the ISA to try and beat them to market. Give it 5 years and we're gonna see a totally different landscape to now.

These are usually installed as core Google apps on Android, and most flavours have them hidden since they're really just background daemons/libraries.

Gf had the same happen on her Huawei P30 which clearly wasn't set up to have the apps hidden by default.

If youre degoogling obvs not what you wanna have on your device but technically they shouldn't be doing much on their own.

 

I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I've got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?

God knows what they'd have flagged. I was trying to sign up to sendgrid's free tier to test their SMTP server and got instabanned before I even got the verification email.

idk about others but at least with freedns you get 25 subdomains for free and obviously risk clashing names under the same shared domain.

freedns is good too but I ended up buying my own domain the other day for like 4 quid and now all my services get a much nicer name and unlimited DNS records

 

Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I'm considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it'll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)

 

Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).

What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn't allow basic auth anymore so it's supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)
