I run mine on a Intel N100 based mini PC from Beelink running Proxmox. It’s just about the only thing it does at the moment so I’ve had no concerns about bottlenecking.

It’s much more powerful than a pi and costs a not too dissimilar amount to one after you factor in a case, storage, power supply.

Not really answering the question but I’ve completely stopped buying anything that requires USB micro B. I can’t fucking stand that connector. USB C costs a negligible amount more and I’ve yet to have a single port or cable fail irreparably after using it for the best part of a decade.

An actual answer to the question? I’m done with Microsoft and Nvidia. I’d love to add Google to the list but I’m still largely entrenched in their ecosystem.

I’m right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90’s. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don’t have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They’re theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they’d add an account for it.

I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.

Thanks for the advice, I’d not heard of that particular distro. I’m quite comfortable with Fedora so I think I’ll give it a shot

I’ve got a Surface Pro 5 with the dogshit m3 processor and 4GB of Ram, anyone have any concept of how it’d run under linux? It basically folds at any real task in Windows

I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I’ve never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.

Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.

After intending to for years, I’ve recently switched to DuckDuckGo after getting increasingly frustrated with Google’s search results. This makes that decision feel all the more like the right one.

I find it hard to say this is deliberate on Google’s part but at best it’s yet another case of Google blatantly skipping over Firefox testing.

I can confirm that Neko still works flawlessly for me. I only use Mangadex so have never really been interested in the wider Tachiyomi space.

+1 on this, I switched to Wezterm on my windows work machine to get most of the features missing from alacrity without having to go through the hoops to get a tmux like experience on windows.

I used to do Windows -> Alacrity -> WSL2 -> Tmux then launch my Windows powershell core session inside that terminal.

Did I ever say it was all lies? They’re incredibly capable machines, I’d love to own one. I just take issue with Apple’s lark of transparency in the marketing of the performance of the chips vs competition.

Aye exactly, Apple’s marketing, which is often basically lying, has a lot to answer for in the prevelence of this idea. They’d have you believe that they’re making chips with 14 billion percent more performance per watt and class beating performance. Whereas in reality they’re very much going toe to toe with AMD and other high end ARM chip vendors
