  • The old hauppage TV tuner cards work great with Linux. I actually have some old-school hauppage (old 4:3 TV signal) tuner cards and they work great under a modern Ubuntu install. I also use a couple of hdhomerun units (which do hd) and they don't really require drivers and also work fantastically with Linux. With Linux the drivers are (mostly) part of the kernel. If they don't work, it usually means that they're very new. Linux driver support is leaps and bounds better than any windows support, which is usually discontinued and forgotten about.because the companies go out of business and have closed-source drivers. Linux drivers are open source and if they don't work, the community fixes them even if the company goes under or hasn't been around for decades.

  • Windows 11 isn't even backwards-compatible with 7-year-old CPUs! Run a 32-bit or 16-bit (dos) exe on Win11/x64? Think again. Windows drivers are always a pain in the butt. Load up an old driver for your favorite peripheral? Probably won't work.

  • I'd only use sshfs if there's no other alternative. Like if you had to copy over a slow internet link and sync wasn't available.

    NFS is fine for local network filesystems. I use it everywhere and it's great. Learn to use autos and NFS is just automatic everywhere you need it.

  • Big lasagna and some flowers and emphasize that they're for her. Tell her that you are a good shoulder to cry on if she needs it. Call her at home after a week and maybe after 2 weeks and say that you're just checking that she's ok.

  • All these AI detection sentry robots are all trained on the same AI datasets. Just wear a black see-through hood over your face with a stop sign on your front and back and they'll ignore you and probably stop walking when near you. You can waltz right in.

  • tools for my docker host with most services running on it truenas for my truenas host p01-p03 for my VPSs gpu-linux for my AI art and LLM machine

    desktops and laptops are all misc strings that windows or Linux comes up with at install time

  • Both points are bad. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The Internet was created to be run by millions of servers and works best that way. Funneling everything through one company is just a bad idea in general.

  • So just to put this out there. I've been testing single-board-computers running Android and Linux and streaming multiple IPTV streams at the same time and the Fire TV (I have the 4K Max) beats the Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid N2 + & Intel NUC 7 i5 CPU w/ Intel GPU). I know that they're cheap as hell but they actually perform better in my specific use case than other Android or Linux platforms. I can stream 5 or 6 1080 IPTV streams simultaneously on the Fire TV, while 3 or 4 is the max on the others.
