Jellyfin and Immich, first and foremost. From there, Nextcloud, Home Assistant, RustDesk, Docmost, and Nephele.

(Full disclosure: Nephele is my own service. I find it quite useful.)

This is the future liberals want.

You don’t want an AI generated non-descript thing?

Actually, it might not even be AI generated. Just a non-descript thing.

I understand that. If we had a word for north east, let’s say “yest”, then I wouldn’t have to say “north by north east”, I could just say “north yest”.

Better question is why don’t they have 8? I hate saying “north by north east”.

Considering I’d just be some guy, I’d invest all of my money in Nvidia and Bitcoin then when I get back and have millions, I’d spend it on passing wealth taxes and raising the minimum wage.

Cccinnciiiiinattttttiiiiiiii!

So when you say, Christ the Messiah, you’re really saying Messiah the Messiah. Man people were so silly back then. Anyway, I’m off to the Los Angeles Angels game. 👋

Last names were commonly just where you were from, who was your father, or what was your profession.

Jesus Of Nazareth, or Jesus Denazareth, Jesus Nazarethton, Jesus Di’Nazareth, Jesus Von Nazareth, Jesus Van Der Nazareth.

Jesus Son Of Joseph, or Jesus O’Joseph, Jesus Josephson, Jesus McJoseph, Jesus Bin Joseph, Jesus Josephsen, Jesus Ibn Joseph.

Jesus the Carpenter, or Jesus Carpenter.

(Those are just examples from different languages of how last names were commonly created, not what they actually called Jesus.)

Christ was his status as a holy figure. Like the “saint” in Saint Peter. It means “the anointed one” or “messiah”.

Those are very memory non-intensive applications, so you almost definitely wouldn’t notice a difference.

The reason it’s better for gaming is that games need to load big textures and models into ram to show new content, and that can cause stutters when the ram is too slow (running in single channel mode is slower than dual channel). Since you’re gaming, you’ll notice the stutters.

While watching a video, the video is buffered into ram much faster than you can watch it, so there won’t be any difference.

While browsing, pages might take around 10 to 50 ms longer to load, but you’re not going to notice that. Most pages load bits and pieces when you click around anyway, so there will be negligible difference after the initial page load.

If the quality of the video is good, I like to see it here.

Joke’s on you, all my embarrassing code is online.

Just ask the AI what you should buy and buy the opposite of that. /s

I’ve been using Fedora with my RTX 3090 and it works great. I haven’t tried the newer cards, but the 30 series seem to work well in my experience.

The Windows Updatinator!!! This will cause every Windows computer in the tri state area to restart five times over the next hour while constantly telling the user it’s almost done with updates!

Curse you Perry the Platypus!!!

It’s my first initial and last name.

It certainly can be, but every couple is different.

Yeah, I am one of those open source devs who doesn’t get paid for it. But I can’t really say it’s the fault of normal users. They’re just people trying to get by. The fault really lies in corporations using open source without supporting it. Some corporations do give back and support communities, but a lot just take and don’t give anything back.

Personally, most of what I write for my company, SciActive, is open source. The only thing I don’t release is my actual product (Port87), but everything I’ve built in order to build it (the ORM, Nymph.js, the UI library, Svelte Material UI, the WebDAV server, Nephele) are all open source.

I do get users shitting on these projects sometimes, but the majority of communications I get are respectful and gracious. It does sour the experience when someone acts rudely, but I try to not let them get under my skin. Some devs have trouble not being bothered by it, and for them, the rude users and lack of compensation are so much worse.

What keeps me writing open source though is that I just genuinely have a passion for writing code. I recently built a full text search engine into Nymph, and the whole process was so much fun. I think that’s what powers open source, genuine passion for what we build.

(There’s one project that gets shit on a lot more than my others, QuickDAV, which I’ve never really understood. A lot of people say they’d rather use SyncThing, which is fine, but they have different use cases, so it just baffles me. It’s like someone looking at Inkscape and saying they’d rather use GIMP.)

Thank you for being understanding. I shouldn’t have stated it as bluntly as I did either, so I think you were justified in taking it as condescending, and I’m glad we’re seeing each other’s view more clearly now. I think it’s awesome you’re getting into Linux, and even if you don’t ultimately do it, even considering self hosting is awesome. Getting Proxmox and your own NAS up and running is awesome too, btw. Something you should be proud of. I do want Linux and self hosting to be a welcoming space, so I’m going to try in the future to be more welcoming.

When you’re ready, you can email me at hperrin-friends@port87.com about my offer. The offer stands any time you feel ready to dive in. :)

Again, you just sound like you’re not interested in self hosting. I wasn’t even that condescending to you, but you took it that way. You said you don’t want to learn how to self host in a community about self hosting. Like, imagine if someone went into a community about bicycling and was like, “Well, I don’t want to ride bikes, but I like motorcycles because I don’t have to pedal.” You should expect a certain level of disregard in a community if you’re going into that community saying you’re unwilling to learn the basics of what that community is about.

If you’re not interested in self hosting, I’m not saying you’re not welcome here, because a. you are and b. I don’t moderate this community anyway, but I genuinely wonder why you’re here. You did say you might be interested in the future, so…

This is a genuine offer: if you want to learn how to self host, I will get on a video call with you and teach you how to set up some services on your home network and open them up in a secure way. I write and run my own servers, and have for well over a decade, so I am qualified to teach you what you need to know, if you want to learn.
