one where i mess up the breadboard and fry my cables/ microcontroller i guess

afaik that depends on the type of medium, where ssd are more susceptible to rot than hdd (and never use usb sticks). now this is just my guess, but i’d think that zfs with frequent automatic checks and and such will keep your data safer than an unplugged hdd

i have read that russia is blocking matrix country wide, so i doubt that the great firewall can’t do that. then again i dont remember the source rn, so take it with the usual pinch of salt

a friend of mine uses a non modern ryzen that has issues with sleep states. his home server ran fine until the os got an update and managed to idle much lower than before. that made his machine crash and was a really weird error to catch. dunno if this could apply to you at all. just throwing it out there.

i‘ve first used jellyfin for movies and series for a while and then decided i also wanted to add music streaming to my nas, so i put it into jellyfin. there were a couple of things that bugged me though, and so i also installed navidrome. jellyfin and navidrome have access to the same directory with all the music i own, and i have both finamp as well as amperfy on my iphone, and i really quite prefer navidrome with amperfy. so i would say that if you already got jellyfin for movies/ series and you don’t need a lot for a music streaming platform, it’s perfectly fine. however, if you need some more music streaming specific stuff, like a nice workflow for creating playlists, you may prefer to add navidrome.

i like use amperfy on ios and i think it’s nice. for jellyfin i tried finamp, but i disliked music streaming via jellyfin in the end (mainly because making playlists was a hassle)

amperfy takes me back to the old days when i used itunes and an ipod touch interface wise

das ist echt eine scheiss situation, aber ich habe die erfahrung gemacht, dass wenigstens die leute auf dem amt sehr nett sind und gratulieren wenn der prozess durch ist. ich hoffe du machst diese positive erfahrung auch ❤️

working at a research institute, nobody set any restrictions for what os i install. there are guidelines, but only to make sure that people keep their os secure. i’m using fedora, my boss uses mint, a colleague uses macos. everyone is free (as long as it’s within a somewhat tight budget)

ford

i would like to second this. though i’m not really experienced with it, creative work can be quite the pain in the butt from what i’ve been hearing.

for general usability and gaming it’s generally not really any more difficult than windows it feels like. i would just always recommend to check whether the things you really need run on linux or have an equivalent. this includes checking areweanticheatyet and protondb for the games you wanna play. some companies block linux in their games because some windows hackers exploit linux comparability… some other companies are stupid and think that a single player needs anticheat…………

also your choice of distro very much matters when it comes to how easily you get your things to work. for example i love bazzite for gaming, especially on laptops with igpu and nvidia, but it may not be the right choice for creative work, like i wont use it for my work related programming. there i use fedora KDE.

i also need to know for my setup 😅

yeah i think that there’s a good chance for vpn users to be harassed by anti ai measures

YSK that after WWII all allied forces were trying to secure as many rockets, scientists, machinery and such as possible for themselves and themselves only. in the years following WWII basically the entirety of the US, russia, british and french rocket programs were based on german research and massively supported by the german researchers. (whether that was forcefully or by choice…)

bei uns im physik LK gab’s 5 jungs und 10 mädchen. drei der mädchen waren die drei besten schüler*innen der schule, und die jungs waren allesamt mit dem kurs überfordert. der mathe LK war ausgeglichen sowohl von der anzahl als auch der fähigkeiten der schüler verschiedener geschlechter.

ich bin wohl auch in der hinsicht in einer blase gewesen an meiner schule.

dealing with logitech devices. i love their hardware, but i feel like they’re really bad at doing any kind of software… i know that there are alternatives for configuring logitech devices, but i quite enjoy solaar.

i’ve heard that some people love using kate because, with some plugins, it really can do all most people need. i’ve seen a dude make a video on it but would need some time to find it again if there was any interest.

can it be sandboxed in a sensible way? (on linux specifically)
