exscape

You can still block it easily with the command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) as mentioned. But don’t let that stop you from switching to Linux if you feel like it.

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

How I felt 10 minutes ago when I fixed a bug just after zipping it for release.

I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

This is about the website.

10x more?

Here’s a 3 meter UHS certified HDMI cable for $9.99. I doubt you can find one for much less that handles 4K 120 Hz w/ HDR properly.

I’m all for open source services, but realistically, what potential issues are there with using GitHub?
Every contributor has a copy of the Git repo, so isn’t the worst case basically losing access to issues and similar data? And even that is very unlikely.

20 feet is fine unless you want 4K 120 Hz and stuff like that. I’m which case 20 feet may also be fine with a passive cable, but a bit on the edge of where AOC starts to make sense.

As for 1080p and 4K30 I think 10 meters can work passively.

Edit: My in-head unit conversion was a bit off, 20 feet is probably a bit over what’s sensible for 4K120. But it’s probably fine for non-UHS HDMI.

Oh! That’s awesome. I’m that case I’ll either try it when the release containing that commit is out, it maybe even earlier.

I’m aware, but I don’t think that code will affect the webOS version unfortunately. And even if it does, the app needs to be updated first.

Honestly it’s been a year since I tried it now so I don’t remember everything. One thing I really feel is crucial is turning down subtitle brightness in HDR. Plex allows for grey subtitles, which in HDR look white, except not at 700+ nits. They literally light up the room in dark scenes, and it’s extremely jarring in dark scenes (with APL of 1 nit or less).

I’d love to use Jellyfin instead of Plex, but the LG webOS client has literally never been updated. The first public version from July 2022 is still the latest version, and it’s not really there yet.

My computer names don’t really have a pattern.
Desktop is Neutron, NAS hyperion, old server exscape.

Disks have names from astronomy. Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Pegasus, Orion.
I just recently named my large NAS RAIDZ2 array Laniakea.

Sure, but setting the .style attribute could really be argued as using CSS, just with a different interface. W3Schools refers to this as “inline CSS”.

It’s mind-boggling to me that this hasn’t been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
It’s not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable “deep sleep” and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
(And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn’t have the issue to begin with.)

CSS is used to create the design, basically the look (colors, layout and so on), but no substance.
JavaScript is used to implement code and logic.

HTML + JavaScript would typically (since you’re supposed to use CSS to create colors and design) look very dull, thus the black-and-white Oppenheimer.

Yes, that shouldn’t be an issue. I believe SFTP would be supported basically out-of-the-box if you install OpenSSH during the install, but you might want to create a group and configure access if you’re not the only user.

The version thing is what I’m doing with ZFS (also works with BtrFS, but it doesn’t feel as reliable yet). Basically I take snapshots every hour, and the entire state of the filesystem at that point becomes frozen in time, and can be accessed as long as the snapshots exists.
sanoid automates the process and cleans up so that there’s a reasonable amount of snapshots, not hundreds or thousands.
Of course, this means that you can’t really regain any space when you delete things, until the oldest snapshot containing the data is deleted.

It depends on what your goals are of course, but I use ZFS for the file system, sanoid to take snapshots on a schedule (hourly saved for a few days, daily saved for 1-2 weeks and so on up to monthly saved a year or two), Samba to actually share the files to Windows computers, Plex to share media to my TV.
Also rsync to a second (offsite) computer for replication/backups of the most important stuff. That computer also takes ZFS snapshots to get easy versioning of the files.

I wouldn’t recommend it for most people, but it’s nice if you’re comfortable working with Linux to begin with.

Plenty of FOSS ways to set up a NAS. I’m going for Debian with ZFS myself, I prefer custom solutions as they are almost always more flexible than “NAS OS:es”.
