Plasma/KDE as a first class citizen.

KDE is second-class to GNOME on Fedora.

They should use this technology we used purely for uh… "Linux ISOs’ back is the day.

BitTorrent.

Raspi4?

$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)

Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.

2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

One MAC might have multiple IP addresses.

You’re right that it’s unfortunate that one American entity gets to decide ipv4/v6 address space though.

They zigged when we all zagged.

Decentralisation has always been the answer.

You’ve mentioned in the thread you’ve on Debian 12 - have you installed mesa from backports?

The version of mesa on 12 is is 22.3.6 which is before the release of the 7900GRE and only very early RDNA3 support.

bookworm-backports has 25.0.7

If you read through https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ you can enable the backports repo then just reinstall mesa (or dist-upgrade)

Broadcom has always been a kernel black hole.

So many routers stuck on Linux 2.6 or 3.4 due to Broadcom.

So no GNOME on BSD anymore?

If you want GNOME you need a corporate aligned linux-only desktop with all the IBM trimmings? IBM who has been known forever for the poor quality of their code? IBM who pays by the KLOC?

Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.

Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.

They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.

No, they’re the ‘better than the last lot’ party. Labor are a party of and for Landlords.

The Greens are the good party.

Really only depends on how new the new GPU is vs. how old the Kernel is.

example: If you’re running Debian Stable and trying to put in an RTX 5090, you’ll likely have a bad time, since neither the kernel nor Mesa support blackwell on Trixie without backporting.

• If you’re using a rolling release distro, just update first but you’ll probably be fine already. If you’re using a point release distro, make sure that release supports your hardware first.

• If you’re buying some older (but new to you) hardware, you’ll probably be fine.

• You’ll be fine with anything AMD or Intel even on debian stable, since they’re both active in developing their linux support, where nVidia doesn’t support FOSS drivers.

• If you’re buying nVidia that new/powerful, you’ll be better served by their proprietary drivers you can install - just keep in mind you won’t be able to run very recent (and certainly not bleeding edge) kernels with the proprietary nV drivers.

Mustek 1248UB

I remember buying one of those from ‘Electronics Boutique’ over 20 years ago. Before they nuked all the extra PC peripherals and renamed it ‘EB Games’

Titanic

Titan

Probably best not call it ‘Tit’ either.

Not to mention they tried running a disinformation campaign against OPNsense for a few years, which was resolved in court.

Also they implemented a WireGuard module that after a review upstream on FreeBSD was found to be completely hocus.

WHS wasn’t working then either.

It was an awful piece of software, you were better off just pirating Windows Server 2003r2 Standard and using the software raid5 over the WHS flaky overlay system.

Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.

WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.

I just wanted to distro name to be ‘Bastard’ :P

deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bastard main

It can’t handle radio shows or VA mixes well either.

Picard will not, it’s possibly the worst thing you can do to a folder of untagged music.

Use kid3, it can use musicbrainz without making a mess of everything.

Mstream - it’s the lightest and simplest of streaming servers.
