how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee?

That’s the neat part; you don’t.

Timd to update your criteria, friend. Seagate hasn’t been top of the failure stack for like 8 years now. The 3TB scandal era is long since passed. Now it’s WD who has been shitting on quality control, sending out faulty SSD’s that wipe user data, bait-and-switching HDD customers with a cheaper, much worse performing technology (SMR) WITHOUT TELLING THEM, them basically blowing corporate raspberries at everyone when people complain.

While i agree they were the best, HGST also hasn’t even existed as a non-WD product for years…

Sounded like you’ll be lucky to get it running even on a normal Windows rig let alone via proton lol. Paradox doing Paradox things

Thank

Regardless of how fast or slow you reversed the direction. Pretty much every weather pattern and ocean current on the surface of the planet would be thrown into a massive calamity. The Corolis effect and momentum imparted to surface fluids around our rotating ball is a huge, huge deal with weather flow, like the “jet stream”. It directs how storm systems (the flow of water that all life depends on) form and track and which typical track they take as the rotation of the earth is constantly deflecting them. There would be huge, unending storm systems as existing patterns now crashed head on into new ones, with storm fronts spanning entire continents. Even after the storms subsided and it settled into a new normal after 20, 30, maybe 50 years… agricultural breadbaskets would be either destroyed, completely inhospitable to their original crops, or stranded in drought. And human civilization would likely fall with them.

Most distros, at least mainstream ones, will happily install right alongside Windows and give you the option to boot from either Linux or Windows when you start your PC.

Basically, there is a “boot loader” that the motherboard finds on the hard drive when the PC starts up and tells it to load the OS. The bootloader handles getting the OS kernel out of the hard drive and into memory with the correct drivers so the kernel can take over. Windows has its own bootloader that can only boot Windows. Linux also has a boot loader called “GRUB” that can boot multiple operating systems located in different partitions on your hard drive as long as it knows where they are.

You’ll have to first shrink your Windows partition using the Disk Management tool from inside windows so that there is “unused” space on your hard drive not occupied by the Windows file system. Then run your Linux bootable USB and it will take up that space to install Linux. Any normal distro like Ubuntu/Debian/Mint et al. will set up GRUB automatically to recognize both Linus and Windows, and you’ll be off to the races.

However, if you just want to play with Linux before you commit to faffing about in your partition tables, most distros can also run in a “live USB” state where it loads the basics of the OS directly from a USB stick into memory, no installation required. I highly recommend doing this first!

Realistically nobody’s going to expend the legal effort to come after owners of accounts on a site unless it’s very illegal content like CP. however it’s still a very smart idea to compartmentalize snd keep separate email accounts for different services so that it’s both harder to build profile on you, and also less likely to lose All Your Everything if one of the emails is compromised.

More like they realized they couldn’t grift any extra money from it.

The ARM cpu will still beat out an i3/i5 in idle and load power consumption, and the mini PC also does not have GPIO for people who care about that kind of stuff.

There’s no such thing as overkill, only extra overhead to do more things with. Hell, if you found yourself with a ton of excess resources and good cooling, you could run a distributed computing project like BOINC on some of the spare cores and help out some scientists.

You wouldn’t see much of a bump in CPU performance, 6cores to 8 cores with a 200mhz clock speed improvement isn’t ground breaking.

Going to 8gb of memory will give caching benefits.

But… That’s all well and good. However. What I found the most beneficial on a OPi 5, and the entire reason I bought it over other boards, is the onboard NVME m.2 slot. Yes, the orange pi 5 can support 2230 and 2242 M.2 NVME drives at PCIe3.0x1 speeds, and it makes a WORLD of difference in performance. Like you would not even believe how fast compiling and installing software becomes when it’s not bottlenecked by the ~500 iops an SD card can struggle through. SD cards are ungodly slow, and OS level writes tend to kill them every few months (they’re not designed to handle that kind of work). Even the cheapest aliexpress M.2 drives, which I bought a 512gb KingSpec one for like $16, blow SD cards out of the water, and will last for YEARS with a typical pi’s workload compared to the few-months of an SD card. Plus they’re big enough to even do a bit of file hosting on.

Just reinstall it via Microsoft official iso maker. Anything newer than Windows 8 will attach license keys to the hardware (motherboard) and it usually picks the activation right back up.

If not use the msguides.com kms method.

No telegram is garbage

Ah fuck. Hazbin Hotel is being produced by A24.

Guess we can kiss that quality goodbye.

The original Pi B had a single core 700mhz ARMv6 processor and 512mb of memory. It’s fine for embedded projects using GPIO or a mini LCD screen, but that’s about it. You’d be lucky to even decode 720p video on it as a streaming box.

It might work neat as a monitoring device to keep tabs on the rest of your homelab machines and display a status output or something.

It’s UI based and not as easy to script automatically I suppose. So depending on what you’re trying to run it on, could be annoying. But that’s my 2c. Good luck.

Yes. You can tell it to batch encode everything in an entire folder at once if you wish, and it will happily do it.

I’ve always used Handbrake for my encoding. IIRC it supports AMD gpu accelerated encode/decode.

I don’t fault them for seeding content to get a totally blank site off the ground. But spez definitely never stopped manipulating everything that’s followed.
