I recently got into the apple ecosystem and am loving it.
I know this is a linux community and apple is literally the devil but I haven’t had a bad experience with it yet.

…or as I’ve come to call it grep+linux
I think I destroyed a USB stick back in the day doing this shit. be careful they don’t lock the stick and if they do make sure you use the program to wipe the stick ASAP before you forget what program you used to make it.
I have a ventoy stick for this exact reason, just copy iso to stick, no need to burn a new one every time.
my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on
sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things
my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.
figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.
I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.
and they’re not wrong.
I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.
I’m happy to give Black Magic Design my money.
I literally wouldn’t piss on Adobe if it was on fire.
This is why my machine straight boots into linux and if I want windows I need to use the BIOS boot selector
For most things Windows on a VM under Linux is unironically faster than native Windows.
I have an edge case that works better on bare metal and I fucking hate how Linux messes with the system clock every time.
that depends. are you now or have you ever been a femboy?

if it was that simple I might still be trying to make it work despite alt tab not working with instances hidden behind multiple launchers.
4% on linux
Sorry but multiboxing with a compatibility layer is pure cancer, for some reason proton just keeps gobbling up resources until the clients eventually become unplayable and need to be restarted.
alt tab doesn’t work for switching and also MINIMIZE ON FOCUS LOSS? fuck you linux, absolutely fuck you.
Of course I don’t know enough about the actual proof for it to be anything but a joke but there are infinite numbers so there should be infinite proofs.
there are also meme proofs out there I assume could be given a Gödel number easily enough.
I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I’ve fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I’m in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn’t got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it’s still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.
