Honestly kicking myself for not having this setup on my last Linux install

Good news is it’s setup on my current install

Sometimes I learn my lessons the hard way… Multiple times.

With the new Apple silicon going on it’s killing Hackintosh by literally having non-Apple silicon going to be no longer supported.

So basically the EoL date for a Hackintosh is when Apple goes EoL on non-Apple silicon with their OS.

If I wanted to be violated as much as Windows 11 wants to violate me I’d reinstall Grindr

Straight up it reminds of of being back on Windows 7 and it’s so goddamn cozy to be back there

I only had a couple programs holding me: Fusion 360 and Windows 3D Builder.

Then I found out there’s a functional snap pack for Fusion 360. Now I just have to come up with a solution for Windows 3D Builder.

And the reason I use Windows 3D Builder is for 1 feature: it’s model repair function is far and away the best I’ve used for broken 3D models.

I’ve shucked a few drives in the past but when there was a big sale on hard drives awhile back I finished decking my NAS out with 8TB drives that weren’t shucked as they came out to be cheaper than the ones in enclosures at the time.

The main downside is warranty really and some of the drives from enclosures need to have the power blocked on one of the pins to work (can’t remember which sorry) due to the type of drive they are.

So much this

It’s infuriating trying to find solutions to issues with Autodesk.

But you did forget a classic one: “Hello I’m X from Autodesk support, you should open a support ticket so we can discuss this issue in a more one on one manner.” And then the thread is closed without a solution.

The amount of times I see, “Have you tried just googling it?” As a response to a tech issue is too damn high.

The best part is seeing those answers in threads that I got to by googling my question.

“Thank you for your helpful advise of ‘just Google it’ I’ve now found dozens of threads with that exact same answer to the question I have.”

If it’s compromised you can’t change it for one

Also you can’t be legally forced without a warrant to give a password but biometric data you can be legally forced without a warrant to give up

What kinds of features does it gain and lose?

I’m an avid hiker personally

Especially in the local wilderness where I don’t get cell reception

It’s nice knowing that literally no matter how important somebody thinks their problem is they can’t reach me no matter how hard they try AND no matter how much my reflex is to check my email for “important” things that need taken care of I literally can’t check it.

NGL “Hermit in a log cabin” sounds really nice

That’s really interesting and thank you

I think I’m beginning to get it now, and Wayland does sound better than X11 at least

The TLDR was really helpful NGL

So it’s software that handles software wanting to display things on the screen. Because having each piece of software do it itself would be not only chaos but a massive security concern. And it’s a big deal because it fixes (by replacing) the old software with something that’s easier to work with than the old ways of doing things (due to all new code that’s not spaghetti that’s hacked together over decades).

Am I close?

Okay I think I’m following so far

And the whole “show stuff on screen” thing

I’m guessing it’s kinda like: you’ve got a couple people sitting there wanting to play with Legos and only so much room to play. They don’t have direct access to the play area because of security reasons so they have to ask someone to place the Legos for them. Wayland, X11, and Xorg are all different people they can talk to to place the Legos in a way where no one is fighting for space.

So basically it’s a new way for programs to negotiate who has what part of the screen?

I’m guessing Wayland is either more feature rich or lighter on resources and that’s why it’s a big deal?

NGL Notepad++ has been my jam for over a decade

They’re one of my many one weaknesses

Right up there with table legs in the dark and white cheddar cheezits

“Now announcing UnRAID 2, UnRAID original will no longer receive updates as we focus our resources on UnRAID 2.”

And “UnRAID 2” will only have a subscription model, and people will the OG lifetime license won’t be grandfathered into the new license.

Like Adobe and Photoshop.

I’d say it’ll happen before 2030.

But I may just be cynical at this point.

I am as well but it looks like it’s new accounts every time and they make just a single post, the spam post

At least this time the spam is just an image link to some random discord server and not CSAM

18 HDDs into it plus 5 SSDs

Sweating intensifies

That’s a lot of drives, I’ll have to look into that one for sure
