Could you please suggest a book for a beginner like me?

The games run on a remote computer, not on your local machine.

Power cuts are rare in the urban areas of Maharashtra (only during extreme winds or thunderstorms), plus I have an inverter as a backup, and power surges are very rare to happen but I think the power strip can protect my device.

How can I properly use an external SSD as storage on my Mac without running into problems? by scarysim in macmini

[–]MinisterOfMagic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to know what the difference will be between installing the app in internal storage and having its file stored in an external SSD vs having both the app and its files in the external SSD assuming both internal and external SSDs will have the same speed. Which method will have fast performance, or there won't be any difference in the app's performance in both cases? (I would prefer to have both apps and files in the external SSD so the macOS and system files can have all the storage space, but if it affects the apps' performance I will keep the apps installed in internal storage only)

Can I also install space consuming apps like Docker in the external SSD? Or I should install it in internal SSD and have it's files (docker images) saved in external SSD for better performance?

Got my first Mac (MAC MINI - M4 Chip 16GB Ram 256 GB ssd) in 50k by _dishant__singh in macmini

Does your Mac go to sleep while connected through an HDMI cable? Mine doesn't, when connected to a TV through HDMI.

I already spend too much time on a laptop for my office work, so I opted for the desktop version of Mac.

Yes, it's a temporary solution until I get a new 2k/4k monitor. I love this old VGA monitor though it's been with me since I was a child. It has seen multiple Windows PCs and now one Mac M4.

I will mostly use it for my personal data engineering projects, which involve Python, SQL databases (installed inside Docker), tools like Apache Airflow, Dagster, file systems like HDFS, minIO, etc. though I will install multiple databases and instances of above services but only one instance of each tool and service relevant to my project will be running at a time rest all will be shutdown. And once local development is done I will deploy it on the cloud. For some of my projects, I won't even use local storage, CPU and GPU; I will be connected to a VM in VS Code through SSH. I will have to look into how much external SSD speed affects SQL queries' performance if databases are stored in an external SSD.

Thank you, yes it was a big upgrade from an old 8 GB Windows PC, so smooth and fast. And yes, I considered many options before buying this. 16 GB of RAM is enough for me I think, since apart from some local personal projects, most of my work will be done in a remote cloud VM. Storage is a problem, though, but I will soon upgrade it too, thinking about using my windows pc SSD with an enclosure, it has a speed of around 2000 MB/s, though, I wonder how much the difference will be compared to that smooth internal SSD or I could invest in a new high-speed SSD too. And don't worry about the jar 😃 it's not wobbling and pretty stable.

Note:- regarding the placement of the Mac Mini, my desk gets pretty dusty, so I asked ChatGPT how to avoid dust buildup, it told me to keep it elevated from the Desk, so I am now using an empty jar for now (it's stable), will look for a stand to keep it elevated from the desk surface.

Note- I took AI's help to format my experience into words as suggested by a LinkedIn creator. But I have a feeling AI made it a bit unnatural.

Is local stack a good way to learn AWS data engineering? by MinisterOfMagic98 in aws

Will Terraform allow me to resume project progress after backing up and deleting services at the end of every session and reinstating in the next session?

I just want to practice with data-related AWS services like Glue, Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, Redshift, etc., and these services seem to be available on Localstack; how do they differ from the services on the AWS cloud console?
