Yes but also no, but also yes. Here’s why:
So I’d probably overall argue that those who really care about audio probably have a separate DAC like https://www.techradar.com/audio/hi-fi/ifi-hip-dac-3-review
Which is probably an unpopular opinion.
Just remember to patch. Owncloud has some of the worst possible cves right now.
I’m just going to give you props. I have worked in Managed IT Services for a dozen years and some of the worst clients are construction, engineering and architects who use solidworks, autodesk and archicad products.
You’ve eaten humble pie and admitted that using computers as a tool, and systems design are different and though you might understand a lot, just like I can build a 3d model, the devil is in the detail.
Building robust solutions that meet your business continuity plans, disaster recovery plans, secure your data for cyber risk and to meet ISO and yet are still somehow usable in a workflow for end users is not something you just pick up as a hobby and implement.
The way I handle technology Lifecycle is in 5 steps: strategy, plan, implement, support, maintain. Each part has distinct requirements and considerations. It’s all well and good to implement something but you need to get support when it goes wrong or misbehaves. You need to monitor and report for backups, patching, system alerts. Lots of people might do the implement, but consider the Lifecycle of the solution.
People do these things at home but they’re home labbing, they’re labs. Production requires more.
Anyway a bunch of people closer to your part of the world will probably help you out here.
I just want to again recognise and compliment you on realising and openly saying you want help rather than just do the usual “oh I know best” that I hear over and over usually just before someone gets ransomed on their never patched log4j using openssl heartbleed publicly exposed server infrastructure.
Lol, a thousand hours would be 6 months of full time work (40 hour week). I’m not sure I’d employ someone who has 6 months of IT experience into a systems administrator job and task them to build a an erp/dms/unified coms solution for a client.
But this guy should be able to do it as a hobby?
Seems like my Samsung TV app is being hit by stuff too, I had 5 unskippable ads and can’t seem to get stable 1080p at 60fps any more despite gigabit fibre and cat6. Meanwhile getting 4k on my YouTube app on Android on WiFi.
Go figure.
YouTube is so desperate to fight this war that they’re harming legitimate watchers meanwhile my rockpi running Android TV seems to keep running sTube just fine.
I’m a primarily Windows systems administrator with about 18 years of Iat field experience.
While I initially played with Linux to get war3 running back in the day of mandrake/mandriva on and off it was only a curiosity.
But during covid with work from home windows became synonymous with work. I couldn’t sit and use my personal pc any more without a alert, a message, an email, a system in my tool stack (MSP employee). I couldn’t relax.
Then I decided to buy a second ssd and I ran just some Linux, I think popOS. I administrate and use Ubuntu servers at work and in labs a lot, so it was familiar enough to get around and wine had improved a lot. New things like lutris showed me that running overwatch and starcraft2 was possible in a wizard.
Next I learned about proton and the upcoming steam deck and the compatibility modes in steam and except for some yakuza games almost my 400 title library was unlocked in Linux.
You know what doesn’t work in Linux? Almost all my systems remote management tools. So now if I boot Linux I’m not working.
I’m not really a Linux advocate. I’m not a Windows advocate. I’m not a mac advocate. Right now I design solutions for companies and while I’m biased I’m tools to tasks minded. The right tool for the job for the workflow, that integrates correctly, and improves productivity and enjoyment of the task.
Linux fits that for my case for personal enjoyment, but can’t possibly fit my use case for my job. It allows me to be disconnected and relaxed. It gave my personal pc meaning again in a covid and sometimes post covid world.
That will stop billing but not remove your personal data from the providers database. Worse if your account then gets banned dispute resolution will be harder.
My favourite thing is that files are sorted automatically by date if you use yyyy-mm-dd. Sometimes there are just practical reasons.
Yep, sure, it’s a wild world we live in and this topic is changing fast. Missing this memo won’t matter when the next one will be the next generation but generations are only 6 months apart.
For asahi on Mac m1 iirc. What coffee is he?
It takes a hash.
Not to boast MS, but its service life is longer than Linux at 10 years. Lts on Linux is generally at best 8. Ltsc on Windows is much longer. Windows 10 released on 2015 and the ltsc ends at 2027 on the enterprise channel, or 2025 for the consumer general availability.
I’m only commenting because I dislike misinformation more than I dislike MS.
