Thank God, Google focuses on the most inane bullshit.

Hey at least you showed her your vim and not your nano or micro

You should be able to get an ics url from the calendar sharing settings and import it into your current calendar app without needing to add the account. You won’t be able to change things from your personal account but you should be able to see events.

As far as I can tell a Dell small form factor and Synology idle around 15-25w and 15w respectively. Both seem to pop up to 30-45w under average load depending on what you’re doing with them. But it depends on the kind of processor you pick and additional drives will also pull more wattage.

The SFF units are limited on space. The one I have is limited to one HDD although you could put a few SATA SSDs in there and 1 nvme. The SSDs would be more expensive but lower energy use. I’ve been toying with attaching a external HDD mount to the case to see if I could add in some extra drives.

I’m not familiar with the EU/UK market, but in the US I got my used Dell for $87 from eBay. It came with 8Gb RAM and a 250Gb SSD. And it had cosmetic damage so the seller sent me a second for free :P

I think depending on how much storage you need it could be a viable alternative.

Currently I’m still using my Odroid HC4 which is probably super power efficient but limited to 2 drives and it isn’t very powerful.

The Synology units are much more user friendly out of the box though. Also I guess it depends on if you just want a NAS or if you eventually want to get into self hosting.

Just buy a used PC and the drives. You don’t have to buy them all at once since you can add drives to your RAID.

I’m headed to the store to pick up some milk and the new Arch update thumb drive, need anything?

This is so cool! I didn’t even know this was a thing.

Yeah they’re doing AB testing right now

I mean at the end of the day it’s all Linux so it’s not so different and just a minor convenience.

This is just for Fedora: comes with non-free audio/video codecs, non-free driver repos.

For other distro: It comes with nVidea drivers, WINE, OBS, Blender, Proton, Lutris, and Flatpak set up/preinstalled. (drivers detected on install I believe) there’s also package and kernel tweaks to boost gaming performance, supposedly.

In comparison to Mint: Fedora packages and kernel versions get updated a little faster than Ubuntu/Debian based distros.

So Nobara takes a lot of the “pain” out of system setup for people who are new to Linux and gamers/streamers.

I haven’t used it personally though I’m currently running EndeavorOS and using a SteamDeck for gaming.

I like Arch as well but there is a higher learning curve than with other distro and if you go for Arch go for EndeavorOS or another Arch derivative (except Manjaro).

However, if you’re looking for something to let you game. Nobara is a distro that comes with all the gaming comparability layers and drivers preinstalled. It’s based on Fedora so it’s relatively up to date but not rolling like Arch.

Just a heads up OpenSUSE is phasing out leap so it won’t have a stable release “soon” unless the things with ALP shake out well.

To install desktop add-ons you need to use nightly and create an add-on collection to sync. But sponsor block might have a mobile version that you can install from the settings section of the normal app.

Ah give Granny a tracheotomy, clever.

Just never close your client. :P

Kodi and kopulate

Then I’ll steal a policeman’s helmet and take a shit in it.
