Anyone got any recommendations or warnings about specific hdd / ssd / storage brands or models at the moment? Thinking about buying another drive instead of being smart and cleaning up my files. I've been pretty happy with Samsung but I've heard they had a clunker of a drive with high failure rates lately. HDD, SSD and I think I...
For 2.5" SSD I’d suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.
For 3.5" spinner I’d suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.
New debian user here. I’m using sway and have a script in my waybar config to look for upgrades and indicate if any are available. However, it typically doesn’t find anything because I first need to run a sudo apt update first....
Maybe just allow apt update specifically via the sudoers conf so you can cron job it to run without being prompted for user input, or just run it in cron as root.
So I made an antenna based on a design on thingiverse/blog post. IIRC this is some Yagi variant. I did the math and did a bunch of tedious stuff to try and make it a proper project at the time. I do not have a network analyzer, smith charts are for shaman/wEEzards, and radio is the work of the devil. I was looking to extend the...
Possibly the antenna wasn’t tuned correctly to the channel which you have the router configured to use so you had a higher swr than your radio frontend could handle eventually burning it out.
Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...
We had a fancy coffee machine at an old job that ran Linux. If I remember correctly it was a top of line cafection or zulay machine. One of the ones with a touch screen. Just booted off an SD card as well iirc so probably would have been pretty easy to hack on.
I still find it weird that managed switches run Linux as I generally would think that at those data rates they’d need something closer to the metal but with the magic of HW offloading that’s been a thing in enterprise for a while and OpenWRT even supports some consumer grade ones now.
Some (probably most) ebook readers like the Kindle.
EDIT: Totally forgot about these 2 ham radios. You can run and access Linux on both of these. One is by design as its running on a Pi, the other via mod by R1CBU booting the OS from an SD card.
It doesn’t have as much to do with where the network stack is running, but that they’re leveraging hardware offloading. Their CPUs generally aren’t powerfull enough to switch packets at gigabit speeds let alone on many interfaces at gigabit or multi-gig speeds. Its by leveraging ASICs and maybe even some using FPGAs for hardware offload that they can switch packets at line rate. I understand how they do it, I still just find it kind of weird and cool.
I didn’t list HDDs as someone else had mentioned that already. I was just listing a few devices that weren’t mentioned in other comments yet.
I wanted to do some soulseek, but just as I began moving towards that this happened. What VPN should I use for this ? I don’t want to use any of those over advertised shady VPNs like nordvpn (who was a spamming machine on my PC back when I used it) or surfshark or others if not necessary…
Dude still seems to be updating this; though, there doesn’t look to be a column detailing port forwarding. Maybe look into a few of these that look good?
Pretty certain I linked the new one. Shows created January 2022 and last updated May 2023.
EDIT: Weird the last updated cell does show 2019, but looking at the docs metadata through Google drive shows Jan 2022 and May 2023. You may be right though, this could be stale.
Thinking about buying more storage. Warn me of the lemons!

Now that mullvad has ended support for port forwarding, where should one go for P2P ?
