Wow, I would never considering allocating so much memory to a single service I run at home.

Gitlab

This guy has a lot of memory in his server

I have Podgrab setup, but I mostly just use PodcastAddict on my phone

Install it once, use it on any of your devices. Run it once on a capable server so even potatoes get the advantage of it. Run it once so it only needs to support one OS and hardware architecture.

Using an app of some description over many different device types is far more of a maintenance headache and that’s before you start dealing with app stores.

I have that Asus XG27ACS, bought it a couple of months this ago. I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve not used the stand it came with as I have desk mounted arms. The screen itself is very nice and works for both a free sync gaming monitor and the colours are good for my photo editing. It didn’t cost a fortune either. I think its the cheapest monitor I’ve bought in 20 years but it’s as good as any I’ve had before.

Yes. Small socks.

Red boxes are very on trend at the moment, everyone is saying so

No one in 2025 has read all of that article.

What’s your stereo you’re connecting the record player to?

Who do you think I am?

If you want people to pronounce your project name correctly you should spell it that way. Having a FAQ on pronunciation means you’ve messed up and lost already. Want it to be called “Engine X”? Call it “Engine X”.

My favourite is SAP not wanting people to call it Sap but to spell it out S.A.P. Well sorry, but it’s a CVC word, literally the first kind of word everyone learns.

I also have to deal with spinning rust at work and working with large programs (Visual Studio in my case), but I don’t blame the modern large software for not running well on 1990s hardware.

If 37MB/s is 100% of your disk then it’s your disk’s fault. That’s not even 5% of a modern solid state disk. That’s also not a lot of memory for modern intensive programs such as you’re using.

I have no idea what’s wrong in this picture. Software using some disk and memory? Oh noes.

I still maintain that Emby is better than Jellyfin. I try it again maybe once a year and every time I end up back on Emby. It just runs better, works pretty flawlessly and doesn’t lose my libraries every so often. Music playback is better by far on Emby and that’s my main usecase.

Hardware decoding would be nice, but I don’t have a system I could use this on for either and I’ve not had trouble without it.

I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

Mono does mean one, but that’s not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Played a bit of Metro Exodus last night. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, even though the silence of your character is weird.

RAID does not work today with any disks you may have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55GfAwa8RI

.The only sane option is ZFS with zRAID1/2.
