Is ZFS on Linux getting better? I’ve heard mixed things. I use BTRFS on my daily driver, and I really like (ab)using the file compression with zstd.
If you are not too stuck on bsd
Not really. It’s more out of the curious of how DragonflyBSDs HAMMER2 filesystem works. I’ve good things about it and ZFS on FreeBSD. ZFS on Linux I’ve heard is still getting up to where it is on FreeBSD.
It’s the interest in how well the HAMMER2 filesystem works for everyday storage, as well as how swapcache performs. Not much besides that, plus I’ve generally decent experiences with Net and OpenBSD.
If you’re gonna spend that level of money, you may as well go for an M1 Mac Mini.
I was joking. I don’t feel like shelling out $600 for a starting media server.
If you really want Intel, just get an N100 or N300. Low power, Intel HW transcoding on iGPU on Linux kernels 6.3+, and can handle Jellyfin no problem.
Didn’t think about that either. I’m finding I didn’t give this as much thought as I should’ve.
You can get a minipc with everything you for $175 for a no name brand, or maybe $250 for a more well-known brand.
But why do that when I could spend +$600? 😜
Good point. So what we’re really talking about then is
I don’t think anyone here would recommend BSD
I’m guessing this is due to issues of support, compared to Linux?
I mean, right now, that’s definitely not on the table.
4K would be nice, obiviously, but I don’t think I myself am to act nor do I want to act as the alternative to Plex for a bunch of family and friends. 😆
I’m beginning to realize I haven’t looked into this as much as I should’ve. 😅 So for most people, with what @AtariDump@lemmy.world has mentioned, a raspberry pi with 1 or multiple hard drives (if you really want) is a good start.
As the project mentions:
Even though there are builds available online for these platforms, they are unofficial and from a separate project. If you do encounter issues on these platforms, please ask for support in their respective support channels first.
This that project:
Ah, okay. So, if I understand correctly, unless I’m trying to have Jellyfin do what YouTube does with offering multiple resolutions and bitrates for video, I don’t need to bother with looking for a GPU that’s good at video transcoding?
Great point. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.
I only sample the finest 10/10 works of art
No? I’ll admit that something like Enderal: Forgetten Stories, while very fun and better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, is still like an 8/10 even though I like it a lot. If we’re going on the game alone and not how great and generous the developers are to the community, Deep Rock Galactic is a 9/10.
have no time for lowly 7/10 slop that the peasents enjoy.
7/10 for Starfield is incredibly generous. It’s a 5/10 if we’re all being honest and not circlejerking about Bethesda.
If only they’d accept that I know better what they should be allowed to enjoy
You can like and play whatever you want.
But if you share the opinion that overall quality of games, especially triple A titles, has gone down in the past 10-15 years, and you can sit here and give Starfield: Yet Another Wide as an Ocean but Deep as a Puddle + Boring Experience from Bethesda ™️ is a 7/10; I don’t think you really have the right to complain about the declining quality of video games when you’re essentially contributing to it by claiming incredibly mediocre games are above average.
If you feel good that you paid $70-100 for what’s really feels like a $40 barely out of early-access game, hey, I can’t change your mind.
Todd Howard has even said his favorite mods for Skyrim were UI ones, lol.
Plenty of people have enjoyed this game and found things to like even if it’s not perfect.
“People enjoy the slop so the slop must not be that bad.”
but you can’t dictate to other people that they also shouldn’t enjoy it.
Yes but we can absolutely point out they’re enjoying slop and are probably the biggest contribution to mainstream games becoming more and more soulless slop.
It’s a nepenthes Diana.
Ah yes! That’s a great little hybrid. This plant, no?
It was winter and I assumed it would drop all it’s pitchers and go dormant. However its leaves are also a bit brown.
In cooler times in nature they don’t go dormant, they just make less pitchers.
Here’s my suggestions
When it does, fill up the tray and let the water be absorbed or evaporated.
Maybe it needs more light. New Zealand has a fairly tropical climate IIRC so outdoors in the spring might be a great idea. Here’s an interesting read about light.
I don’t think you’ll have to do this as looking at your governments legislation the water is a lot better than some parts of America.
Here’s another guide to repotting from a reputable grower. They even have suggestions of when to repot.
Other than that Nepenthes ‘Diana’ is a pretty vigorous and hardy hybrid.
If your plant looks similar to this or this then yea then that’s an entirely different plant genus than nepenthes and it’ll do fine wetter conditions. I would still like the water in the tray get soaked up before filling it again, just make sure the medium doesn’t get dry.
Are you growing this indoors or outdoors?
Also, if it’s winter then keep in mind sarracenia are perennial, meaning they go dormant starting in the mid-late fall and all through winter.
Bog plants are more like Sarracenia (American pitcher plants), some Drosera (sundews) and Dionaea muscipula (venus fly traps). They’re plants that like more wet soils and don’t want it to dry out, and, obviously, their native habitats are bogs.
Nepenthes, or tropical pitcher plants, are tropical plants. Some species grow on the sides of cliff faces or more in the mountains of tropical areas. They like wet air more than wet soil.
No they don’t prefer sitting in water. From the RedLeaf Exotics site:
Nepenthes like being kept moist, not wet. Think of a moist sponge. They appreciate a well draining potting mix and dislike standing in water constantly. They should never be allowed to completely dry out. You can keep them in saucers of water indoors, but they must be allowed to evaporate in between waterings.
And from Carnivero:
Nepenthes like to remain moist but not flooded. This is best accomplished by top watering them 2-3 times per week. The shallow tray method can be used when going out of town. Fill the tray with about 1” of water and then allow the tray to dry out for a couple days before refilling.
Just to give you info from some professional and reputable nepenthes growers!
Hmm, I think that was the one I was wondering about. I use Gentoo, and when I was initially setting everything up on my machine, I saw there were a lot of caveats for using ZFS on linux from the Gentoo wiki entry on it. Maybe that’s changed or those issues are no longer related to native encryption specifically.
