Just use Nvidia’s server drivers instead of gaming drivers. All the AI datacenters are using Nvidia GPUs on Linux, so Nvidia is highly motivated to make this work

This was not on my bingo card even just 5 years ago.

This is all of Homebridge. God bless ‘em.

Because SMB works reliably on macOS. Never had an issue. I also prefer Cyberduck and actual sftp so … take my word with a grain of salt.

That’s my point.

This always falls on its face for work. No one does collaboration as easy as Microsoft and that’s not changing anytime soon. I mean, everyone would have to move all at once. I can move to Linux on my personal devices and it’s not going to change stats one bit.

How old is this? I do all of that on my phone …

You’re just in the middle of the curve still …

And yes, pi’s are waaaaaay overpriced now. Get a used mini pc with a 6500T in it for server needs. It’s more than enough and maxes out at 65W. Most of the time it idles near 12W.

I ended up just buying an industrial mSD card. Has yet to fail.

Maybe I’m an idiot (high possibility) but I couldn’t even get the instance of homebridge docker to work. However, it had zero problems running on hypervisor. You aren’t alone.

Oh I love that!

I did similar once the pi4s were hard to get and expensive. A used x86 mini pc was cheaper and magnitudes more powerful. It runs all my server needs. I’m a simple person: homebridge, plex server, retro game library.

Do you mean Qubes OS?

Some times but not most, like Windows. macOS is the same way thanks to its *nix underpinnings. I honestly can’t remember a time I ever reinstalled the system to fix a problem.

Eero Secure does a pretty decent job by itself but addresses can be blacklisted as well (hi Roku). If I had more money, time, and could figure out my double NAT, I’d probably switch from Secure to a Firewalla device, probably a Purple. Overall the eero’s have been a great, I don’t have to think about it, mesh system. Of course you have to be okay with Amazon owning them.

Some command line shenanigans if I remember. Not sure that still works on newer patches.

This won’t be popular but I haven’t had a stability problem on my home Windows 11 pro (server) machine. I disabled online login during first boot setup so maybe that’s why … my network handles telemetry shenanigans so I’m not worried about that. Never bothered to put a Linux on it, which was the plan, since it’s not failed once, it’s been a few years since it was spooled up. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ve never thought of APFS as slow. Didn’t realize it was.

That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.

Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).

That definitely wasn’t implied. Thanks for clarifying.

This is one of the greatest reasons to get a MacBook. It just sleeps instantly and sleeps seemingly forever (loses about 2% overnight). No need to deal with Window’s BS hibernation mode that takes longer to wake than just powering it off and then on.

Now just to get work to let me get a MacBook as my next hardware instead of another Thinkpad (most of my work is cloud based or in the Office suite).
