RAID is not a backup, please don’t use RAID as a backup.

Until it finally broke and it was too late…

Probably people in Korea or even nProtect themselves.

That said, fixing a bug related to software incompatibility with Wine might also benefit other applications (since Wine may behave as “expected” as it runs on Windows). This is why they even tested Audacity to run on Wine even that a native Linux version is available.

AAC 256 should be at least on par with MP3 320 CBR, might also be on par with ogg vorbis at the same bitrate

YouTube Music Premium offers AAC 256kbps as the highest quality.

Format ID 141: https://gist.github.com/AgentOak/34d47c65b1d28829bb17c24c04a0096f

Opus 128 is only for the audio of YouTube videos. Not YouTube Music.

Not everyone can discern the difference between a 96KHz FLAC and 256kbps AAC. I can’t. But I still can (barely) tell the difference between 256kbps AAC, and 96kbps AAC.

But I can tell if a song was well-engineered or a mess.

I believe those who can’t discern the difference between bitrates (especially on high bitrates), but have the appreciation for good music, good mixing, and good mastering, can still be considered audiophile.

Man that looks sleek. I can’t wait for this update to roll out.

Run any Linux (I recommend Debian) as a Hyper-V VM, give it a 4-8 gigs of ram, and put all your containers there as you would on an RPi.

Debian usually backports security fixes to older versions, so you may wanna check to Debian if they have an updated version of the package with the security fix.

This can be done by taking the CVE number related to this vulnerability and look at the package changelog.

No

Not possible AFAIK, plus it will degrade the performance due to the latency etc, IMO it’s not feasible and not the best way if you want to leverage your GPU’s horsepower.

You will need to keep the transcoding in the storage server, maybe the rest (a viewer, manager etc) you can move to the Turing Pi 2.

But then, if it’s for a real time decoding, it’s not possible. Rather than getting an SBC like the Pi styled computers, consider getting something like a motherboard that has built in J4125 from Biostar which has a PCI-E slot and move your GPU to that Biostar mobo to handle all your media needs. And keep the storage server GPU-less.

There is even a tool to convert Docker Run commands to a Docker Compose file :)

Such as this one hosted by Opnxng:

I think Cloudflare DNS works too and it’s free.

As most have pointed, the “always 2x” rule doesn’t have that much of relevance in 2023 as most computers now has more than 4GB of RAM. I would only use that much of a swap when using a low hardware.

For desktop, I would never go swapless, though. In the event of memory pressure, swap would still help in that situation so that OOM Killer do not kick off and unintentionally kill my working process. Plus it helps that Linux can move the least used data to the swap and use the RAM for filesystem cache.

So my rule of thumb, for desktop: If RAM < 8GB: Swap == 2x RAM If RAM => 8GB: Swap == 1x RAM

For servers, I think it depends on the workload. I keep a small amount, like probably 50% of RAM or less. But for stuff like Redis, it doesn’t make sense to have swap. You want to ensure that everything is in the memory.

I usually use 7-Zip with AES-256 encryption.

Otherwise, it seems like Veracrypt is still the de facto standard for file based encryption.

Picocrypt seems to be promising too: https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt

In Indonesia, the tap water is not drinkable. Some get their water from a nation-owned Drinking Water Company (PAM; Perusahaan Air Minum).

The situation is similar, they contain plenty of Chlorine to prevent bacteria from growing. But the distribution system might not be the cleanest. So usually people buy gallons of mineral water and put them into a dispenser.

Some others, takes their tap water from groundwater, pump it into a water tank, pool them into the house’s distribution pipe, and use them. It is not drinkable either.

At home I use Reverse Osmosis dispenser from the groundwater, and it goes through a reminalisation process after the filtration process. I’ve been drinking with this setup for over 15 years now.
