I switched from bash to zsh a while ago, mostly just for shits and giggles. I really can’t see any reason to form a strong opinion on it one way or the other.

To answer your question anyway, raspberry Pi made the rp2040 chip, which is a microcontroller similar to the esp, instead of a full fat computer SOC

Many. But there too, I’m seeing many people move to VScode + platformio. I’m not saying Arduino is already dead, I’m just saying that the alternatives were already gaining ground.

Maybe it’s just what I’ve been noticing, but I feel like Arduino was already losing its share of the hobbyist market. The plethora of small, cheap esp32 devices have already been taking Arduino’s place.

Still cheaper than moving my main computer to DDR5

I know it’s an LTS version, but 5.15 is not exactly a new kernel release. It’s EOL next year. I’ve been on the 6 series kernel since switching from Windows, and have yet to have anything break on update.

Edit: also, that kernel release is less than a year after the 6800 xt was released. I’d imagine that newer kernels would have a whole bunch of bug fixes.

If you are a company the size of Microsoft, you have more than enough resources to test absolutely everything.

Like other people have said, it’s going to depend on what you want to do with the NAS. If it’s going to be a pure NAS (ie network storage only), then using onboard will be fine. If you plan on doing other things (home assistant, media server, etc), I recommend going the virtual machine + HBA route.

What I’m saying is one step more cynical that that. I’m saying is that you can’t fully trust anyone with your privacy. The best you can do is try to determine who will treat you best based on the motivation involved. VPNs take resources to operate. In our current society that means money, but even in the absence of money, there’s labour, hardware, and electricity costs that go into making it work. Expecting someone to just eat that cost in perpetuity is unreasonable. If the cost is being covered by the users, there is much less incentive for the operator to do anything shady with the data they have access to.

Don’t be bringing your politics into this. Communist, socialist, anarchist, etc, entities are all capable of running a honeypot VPN service. Even if the motive isn’t directly monetization, the user is still the product.

Also, even in the FOSS world, you have to be wary of services with ongoing costs (thinking of things that have a server side component, not software that you can run purely locally) that are offered for free.

Remember kids, if the service is free, you are the product.

That’s a suspiciously specific guess.

I used a hodge-podge of chinesium parts and leftover drives to create a DAS system that hooks up to an HBA via DAC. I’m actually kinda surprised how stable it’s all been.

For future reference, there is the OpenLinkHub project that does RGB control for just about all Corsair products, and fan control if using one of the Corsair fan controllers. In my case, I needed it because RGB, but also in order to have my fan speed based on water temperature instead of CPU load.

At this point, I’ve seen far more people being almost violently anti-rust than I’ve seen people being weirdly enthusiastic about rust. If Rust people are Jehovah’s Witnesses, then a lot of the anti-Rust people are ISIS.

This is equipment that uses all statically addressed devices. And ignoring the fact that IPv6 is simply unsupported on most of them, there are duplicate machines that share programs. Regardless of IP version you need NAT anyway if you want to be able to reach each of the duplicates from the plant network.

We use NAT all the time in industrial settings. Makes it so you can have select devices communicate with the plant level network, while keeping everything else common so that downtime is reduced when equipment inevitably fails.

Many people do this.

Many people are insane.

The loyal cult is the result of Stockholm syndrome.
