Lol, very first pair of comments. I love phoronix sometimes.

Nope. Never bothered with a laptop until work provided me with one.

I don’t think I have anyone in my family that I hate quite that much.

Not if I’ve never bought a prebuilt PC.

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.

I feel like when non-golfers hear “golf course”, they are always picturing the hyper-exclusive, PGA level courses that are the domain of rich douchebags, and assuming that all courses are like that. In reality, there’s way more cheap 9 hole courses where you can play half a round for $20.

It’s like you learned all the words, without managing to learn a single one of the meanings. Oh well. I’m sure you’ll get there some day.

For Corsair RGB, there’s also OpenLinkHub. Supports pretty much everything Corsair now.

Still cheaper than moving my main computer to DDR5

With TVs starting to get USB-C inputs, which are displayport under the hood, hopefully HDMI fucks off.

If what you currently have already works for you, why be concerned with the form factor of something designed for a slightly different use case?

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.

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.

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.

Because at some point, the philosophical has to give way to the practical, unless you intend for your movement to be nothing more than an academic thought exercise. The unfortunate reality is branding matters. At a population level, no amount of explaining or reading suggestions is going to break through the preconceived notions people have about anarchism.

If nothing else, anarchists need to rebrand and come up with a new name for the same philosophy. “Anarchism” as a term has long been thoroughly poisoned. People who aren’t deep into political theory at best dismiss it as an edge lord philosophy.

If that’s the point, then stop pointing to the past as an example of it. All that’s proving is that there are worse options we have tried.
