For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

Very nice. Details on the the mini PC & jbod? I’m curious what your read/write speeds are like and what (if any) compromises you had to make vs a “normal” 2u/tower setup.

I primarily use antennapod but tried abs out of curiousity. How did you get around the queue issue? I found it to be a dealbreaker

Lots of good answers already. I think one of the biggest factors is to not be the kind of person that succumbs to choice paralysis. There are always going to be a multitude of options for every problem. Learning to live with the idea that the best solution to a problem is not the only acceptable solution will go a long way to keep from getting frustrated in linux.

AI is a different beast altogether, maybe I missed that use case in this or your previous post. From what I’ve read, rocm support for the 9070 cards is still being worked on.

Why the 7900XT and not a 9070 or 9070XT? Stock issue? Both are overkill for 1080p gaming but if you’re trying to future proof, wouldn’t the newer card with FSR4 be the better option?

I’ve been using the startech bt usb adapter in linux for a couple of years without issues.

When I bought my B650 Lightning, Wendell from Level1Techs recommendations over the years played a big part. I haven’t found a single thing to complain about.

“Mindfactory’s sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively.”

Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

Welcome to the rabbit hole of selfhosted note-taking apps. https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Note-Taking

Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit of a journey. You’ll probably end up going through a few of these options until you find one that works for you and fits your workflow.

We literally have wireshark and similar utilities available to all of us to inspect every packet of data coming in to and leaving our phones. You can install pcapdroid right now to see exactly what facebook is doing and where that data is going. This is not complicated stuff.

Now imagine the payday and notoriety that’ll go to the security research firm that is doing this kind of work on a regular basis and is able to definitively prove it’s happening. Why do you think that hasn’t happened yet?

Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.

The math on anyone always listening to everyone’s phones doesn’t add up and will not any time in the near future.

“The report detailed how the user managed to leak DNS queries when disabling and enabling VPN while having “Block connections without VPN” on.”

Not to diminish the severity of the issue but I can’t imagine this being the factor that pushes the average person to ios over android.
