Yeah, I dunno why OP put quotes on it.

The quotes are there because there's spaces in the file name. You don't see them in the GUI because they're not actually there. They're added by the 'ls' command to help with copy/pasting of file names. You can add 'export QUOTING_STYLE=literal' to your ~/.bashrc to permanently suppress them, or just do 'ls -N' as a one off.

Then you probably don't know about Spectre and Meltdown from a few years ago. Same family of problem on x86-64 (so Intel and AMD chips).

7000 series run AVX512 as two 256 bit data paths, while the 9000 series has a native 512 bit data path for AVX512.

I definitely prefer Firefox as it is now to that.

Pixel with GrapheneOS.

They're replacing their in-house engine with Unity, so SI has actually been rebuilding the whole game in a new engine. From what's been going around, they ran into issues with Unity's UI tools.

Not really. WAN has always been WAN. Wireless has always been WLAN.

• What’s a good NAS OS to install?

TrueNAS Scale is the go to. Unraid is another popular option.

• Any fun things I can do besides plex transcoding with a 1080 GPU?

Local LLM. Look up Ollama.

• Would it make sense to run a Pixelfed/Mastodon server off this guy?

You could. That could potentially use a lot of space or be very annoying you having to manage and moderate the instances.

• Can I run a RAID on it without buying a separate HDD bay?

What do you mean? Are you talking about a hardware RAID card, or can you physically stuff more than one disk drive into the chassis? For the first, it'll depend on whether it has any open PCI Express slots. For the second, what do you see when you open it up? Are there 3.5" or 5.25" bays open?

Other than a Plex port forward, I have zero experience putting services out on the public web (but would like to learn!).

Wanting to learn is an admirable goal. I've not done it myself, but the Linux Upskill Challenge might be a good place to start. Either that, or figure out something you might want to host yourself, then come back and ask for input when you run into trouble or have a question.

You must have had a real sweetheart deal on VMware then. Proxmox is cheaper than VMware even under the old pricing. You also don't have to buy the "Standard" subscription. There are cheaper ones.

Lauri and Anni. They're also getting divorced.

Steam is putting out the end of year summaries. You should see it in Steam.

The presenter chats with Milo.

WAN would be the Internet uplink port. A 2.5G WAN port is a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port. 2.5 gigabit and o a lesser extent 5 gigabit Ethernet are a standard that's becoming rapidly available on a lot of hardware. OP is stating that for a device shipping near the end of 2024, a new router that is shipping with only 1 GbE instead of 2.5 GbE is a problem.

Save the click. This is a repost of the notice from last month.

If that's the last time you looked at Dwarf Fortress, it's wildly different now.

No webcam. I have an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT.

It looks like you've created a partition for Linux - you need to delete this partition. Leave it as "unallocated" or "free space". Then the Fedora installer will see it as space it can install to. The installer will handle creating the actual partition.

Instead of trying to backport the virtio device drivers to that version, I'd recommend editing the VM to use the emulated e1000 NIC.
