DC pass through is only needed if you’re powering something over the coax like a pre amp or a remote coax switch.

LTO tape is good for 30 years when properly stored. You should be transferring the data to a newer format much sooner than that anyways. LTO drives are only backwards compatible for 1 or 2 versions, so you probably won’t be able to find a working drive that can read your tape 30 years later.

I’ve never had to defragment the ext4 drives in my server. Ext4 is fairly resistant to fragmentation.

Solar panels are already quite cheap. What we need is much cheaper grid forming inverters so we can stop destabilizing the grid with solar.

I haven’t had any issues with my RX 6700 XT. It works great for games and CAD. I’ve never gotten the video encoding working though. I think it needs the proprietary drivers.

My newest PC only supports PCIe 3.0. My SSDs are still plenty fast, at least until they start thermal throttling.

When I used dial-up, local calls were free.

I used packet writing for a while when I got my first DVD-RW drive. A few years later, multi gigabyte flash drives became affordable and there was no need to mess with DVD-RWs anymore.

It’s an important thing to have in an emergency. The remaining cell towers will probably be overloaded, but you will likely still be able to hear an FM broadcast station to find out if you need to evacuate and where to go.

Here is the list of affected extensions.

I don’t think a mobile version would be practical, they don’t have enough processing power. Blender needs a high end PC.

Switch to IPv6 only and the port scans will go away. The address space is so big that port scanning is difficult, so the usual bots don’t bother.

If a laptop has a dedicated GPU, it’s not low end.

Yeah, but it can’t run a decent ad blocker. That makes it useless to me.

Maybe it could also have something to do with people not wanting AI rammed down their throats on every device, website and program they use.

Just ban it already. Nobody needs that brain rotting site.

Use your own modem and router so your ISP doesn’t have access to it.

It’s still a desktop CPU, there are people who will want to play games on it when they aren’t compiling code or rendering videos.

That’s impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.
