None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.
Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.
Agreed. The recent Canadaland episode highlights this pretty well. I don’t know how out of context the audio snippets of Carney’s answers about his blind trusts are but he needs to do better and not just better than PP.
Let’s say Signal goes full maga. The chats are encrypted and there are no subscriptions or ads. What are the downsides?
Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.
Any low power device is going to struggle with video playback unless you’re doing direct streaming. The exception being the new Intel N line of processors that have capable enough GPUs to do the transcoding. If all you’re after is decent transcoding performance for H264/H265 video, anything newer than Intel’s 7-8th gen CPUs will do the job. $100-$200 used optiplexes and thinkcentres can easily handle this type of workload.

Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you’re having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.
I think all polls are bs but even if they’re not, Carney has to feel like the luckiest guy alive right now. Liberals were dead in the water a few weeks ago.
Not emby related but for audiobooks, it doesn’t get better than audiobookshelf.
When the 10 comes out, those will be two phones at very different price points and capabilities. I don’t think it’ll be fair to compare them.
this might be the last opportunity for a lot of people to buy cards for the foreseeable future.
That and my regret over not upgrading early in the covid era were the driving forces in my decision to build a new machine last month. I wasn’t expecting the 9070 cards to reset the gpu value charts. I was surprised when they did for a short time at release but they were still outside my price range. I was lucky enough to snag a used 6900xt at a good price which should be enough for my needs for at least a couple of years. Hopefully by then, the 9070xt will be well supported in linux and easier to buy.
I appreciate the hw unboxed and gamersnexus style videos, where they give us all the information in context, and we can choose what is relevant to us. It’s not for everyone but I like how they cater to enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, as someone who isn’t looking to upgrade atm, the only thing I get out of this video is that the current climate for GPUs is terrible with no relief in sight.
I don’t think they’re saying it’s good economics and yes, for the most part, we understand how these tariffs will affect us.
But there’s a lot of anger at Trump here. Booing the American national anthem is not something we do lightly. I haven’t seen people this united for a common cause for a long time. I regularly see people checking labels at grocery stores to avoid buying American even if we have to pay more.
We know a recession is likely for both countries and we’ll be hit harder by it. It’s a small price to pay for our sovereignty.
I think kickassduke42 and I have been using the same source of info. It’s all thanks to mrrobvs at the other site and started with this post. Prior to that, I had always used various resellers at 2x-5x of what I’m paying now.
I’m surprised that group hasn’t been taken down yet. Maybe we could find a way to post reviews of the various services, something that doesn’t clutter up the community and makes it easy to search for relevant info.
So what exactly are the rules here about discussing various providers and sources. I’m not a reseller (have no intention of becoming one) but I do have useful info to share. Would be nice to have a dedicated lemmy community that is safe from the usual takedowns & spam.
Yes. The first number didn’t work so I refunded it but it worked on the 2nd try.
I’ve used smspool.net a few times without issue.
They have to get Kuzma and Poole out of there and start following the Pistons example. They have Coulibaly, Sarr and whoever they get this year. Get a couple of decent vets and let them teach the young guys how to play properly.
That listing is for a Sandy/Ivy bridge processor from 2011. I would really recommend something newer than Skylake at the minimum. For reference:
Something to also keep in mind is the codec support of the GPU for hardware decoding and transcoding if that’s important to you. The Optiplexes will mostly be fine in this regard but if you see yourself needing AV1 support anytime soon, Intel’s N line is an efficient and relatively cheap option. Getting HDR tone mapping working at the hardware level might also be something to look out for.
It’s not for me either but I see the 90 class halo products like those fancy home racing setups. It’s for enthusiasts with money.
But screw Nvidia for renaming what are supposed to be 60 tier cards based on % improvement from previous generation into the 70 tier (same for their whole stack). I don’t really blame them for prices since they wouldn’t be this high if the demand wasn’t there.
