My grandparents have Synology NAS, what would you deploy for their use?
Reply in thread
It depends. Some have CPUs with iGPU. If you enable hardware support it’s fine for about two streams. Also, transcoding isn’t needed a whole lot. Most devices support native formats.

In this crazy market, do I just bite the bullet and upgrade?
You don’t need that much performance if you’re coming from a 20 year old pc.
Buy for what you need today, upgrade later.

Why the fuck do people post photos of text instead of just text?
Those people know how the platform works. The image gets displayed prominently while a text post gets buried.

What are you starting to take off the rose-tinted glasses to?
I used to think that with enough public support we’d be able to avoid a world wide collapse within my lifetime.
I no longer believe that will happen.

Tesco moving 40,000 server workloads off VMware amid Broadcom's “abusive conduct”
Reply in thread
Broadcom told ATT to pay up or fuck off. I’m seriously surprised. Broadcom has done more for all other virtualization platforms than anyone else in history.
Proxmox usage alone exploded nearly overnight. Nutanix has been printing money.

All of it.
Post Ww2 US has made sure supply lines for advanced products has been relatively safe and secure, but only barely. This war with Iran has shown that we no longer live under that security blanket.
Population decline across the world will decimate economies of several countries, the worst being China. Once China falls, and its already started, and they grasp out at then biggest corner they have that continues to export (Taiwan) we won’t have anyone that can make CPUs/gpus at scale.
It’s why the US has tried to get cpu manufacturing within the US. But they can’t because it’s very hard. It’s also still dependent on source materials that only exist in China and in other parts of the world.
The Ukraine and Iran wars have also shown that’s it’s very cheap to blow shit up. Autonomous drones are in the thousands of dollars to make each while the defensive measures are in the hundreds of thousands per shot.
Once china’s working population can’t support their retired population things are going to get ugly. Someone will make a move on Taiwan or some other upstream supply chain widget and suddenly people will be digging out their old computers from the garage.
It’s going to get very bad.
