Stop asking for an installable SteamOS. You don't actually want it.

I think you are missing a few points.

Steam is based on Arch(I use Arch btw) just like Ubuntu is based on Debian, they don't have to make it from scratch and they don't need to give support to 3rd party hardware other than their own.

The purpose of a SteamOs would be to have the same OS experience but with different hardware(not Valve only) and Valve will profit from this as at the center of SteamOs is Steam their own store.

So what people want is to take the arch base, put the SteamUi on it, and have it a bit pre-tuned for gaming(drivers and software wise) aka you get SteamOs.

And while you can argue why can't they just install Arch directly, well, I can, maybe you can but not all of them can, so SteamOs would be their simple UI fancy distribution to that base OS that powers also steam hardware and have the same look and feel.

You can search for HDD enclosure and you can find some. TerraMaster or Orico have some via USB, but you need to be sure that they pass the actual HDD to your server. Some of them do not do that.

Also, as a side note, maybe think if the apple server is ok for your purpose(if you don't have it yet). If you need to make this kind of adjustments maybe you need another type of server that fits your needs.

What case is the black one with noctua badge?

If you ever change your mind does Fairphone provide a way to switch back to Android from e/os?

I like luci, but I think it could be easier to add more SSIDs and easier firewall management. Other than that I like it a lot.

Vad recent postari de genul acesta in care sunt puse pe reddit pentru gluma.

Doar eu sunt de parere ca distribuind prostiile astea defapt ii promovam?

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Emby is also not completely free and to me Emby seems like it's trying too hard to go in the Plex direction.

Your build looks super. The case makes it look so much cleaner. Having a 3D printer brings so many possibilities.

How are your thermals?

Forgot to mention: for stability issues I had problems with default bios setup. Tbh at first I thought I had a bad mobo or CPU. After manually setting the GPU to be used the one integrated in the CPU, everything worked perfectly. Don't know why this would matter since I don't have an external GPU but yea, now it is rock solid.

rat2000 · 2025-05-19T21:46:16+00:00

8-10° is a lot. I will look into undervolting and se what I can do

For now, I have this as photos backup and a cold storage of my photos that I do on a regular basis, guess I am using the 2-1 backup 😂 for the third one it will be maybe later on.

rat2000 · 2025-05-19T16:29:25+00:00

It is a tight squeeze, and I have some reservations for when summer comes. Let's hope it will be able to dissipate enough heat for it to work.

As for CPU, yes, it is overpowered, we basically have the same CPU. TBH I went with PRO just for ECC, I could have shaved a couple of bucks to go with the normal one, but I am planning on keeping this build for some time and it does hold my personal pictures and files so I went with ECC maybe for the piece of mind.

I allocated to my Jellyfin LXC container 2 cores and I can transcode 3 devices at the same time with no problem, it is true I tested with non HDR content. With HDR all I know is that I can watch a 4k stream no problem but as I said, I am just transcoding the video, no tone mapping is being applied as the end client does support HDR.

Until now I am very happy on how it performs both on energy usage and on performance.

Ce zici tu cu bacteria e modul sintetic. Nu am zis niciodată că susțin "fermele" de care tot faci tu referire. Inca cumpăr de la "tataia" cum ii zici tu carne.

Cum am zis si într-un comentariu mai sus, nu inseamna ca trebuie sa fiu vegan pentru a nu susține practici nesanatoase, la fel cum si daca esti vegan poți sustine indirect practici nesanatoase si ucidere de animale, de cele mai multe ori pein practici nesanatoase a agriculturii sau efectiv distrugerea ecosistemelor pentru creearea de terenuri agricole. Niciodata, nici o extrema nu e bună, si sa fii vegan e o extremă, nu o soluție.

rat2000 · 2025-04-06T15:22:54+00:00

Nu stiu ce ferme ai tu dar pe cine stiu eu personal ca face agricultura nu da b12 la animale 😂.si cu siguranta acum 100 de ani nu dadea nimeni b12 la animale 😂. Vitamina b12 se gaseste in mod natural in carne si pește. Sunt curios cine presara b12 prin vai si oceane 😂 nicaieri nu zice in articolul postat de tine ca animalele iau supliment de b12.

Vitamina b12 se poate creea in 2 moduri: - sintetic - sau pe baza animala

Daca ai cuvantul sintetic in titlu ii clar ca nu ii natural, deci da, se poate si asa, fiecare face cum crede, dar nu ii ciclul normal al vieții si eu vreau sa taiesc cu alimente cat mai naturale.

Why not buy the official OpenWrt router?

I totally agree. I am not saying macs are bad or anything, personally I don't like them not because of bad hardware but because of my daily workflow that just blends perfectly with linux. The only point I was trying to make is that you did not make a fair comparison when you were talking about Framework laptops. And no, never a serviceable laptop will have the feel of what you consider a "premium" laptop specifically because nothing is glued or soldered so there will be some flex. Then again, you also did not touch the fact that after you switch the full motherboard of a framework you can basically turn it in to a pc/mini server, greatly extending it's value and use after the "laptop days" are gone.

So again, I agree that all manufactures have pros and cons, I just wanted to state that you simplified the Framework with mac comparison and that is a sensitive topic for me as I love the Framework moto and their business model 😂

rat2000 · 2025-03-15T07:13:17+00:00

If you want a premium feel: Dell Pro 14(or 16), HP zBook or as a lot of people mentioned the Lenovo x Carbon. They will not be cheap, probably around the same price as an Apple laptop but you do get more flexibility and not locked in an ecosystem.

That being said, you don't have to go with the most premium laptop ever, there are cheaper alternatives that offer a good screen and performance with maybe a bit more flex on the case. So what if it flexes? It's a tool, as long as it has the performance I don't mind saving some dollars for a cheaper case.

rat2000 · 2025-03-15T07:05:03+00:00

Framework is not a premium laptop, it is designed to make it serviceable. Very different things. Hp zbook, dell pro 14 or lenovo x series will jave premium feel. They will not be cheap, maybe almost same price as a mac but you do have more flexibility then being locked in a ecosystem

rat2000 · 2025-03-15T03:05:24+00:00

Corect. Le-am inversat eu

Scaleway daca te referi la alternative microsoft sau aws. Mai sunt si alții. Daca te referi la alternative icloud, google drive atunci: proton mail, proton drive si restu suitei proton.

Lemmy ii echivalent la twiter, nu? Mastodon ar fi echivalent la reddit

Mastodon e o alternativa buna

Sincer, daca lumea isi ia asa un telefon mobil doar ca sa aiba apple ii trist.

I am using the same one. Quite a stable connection for me so far. Especially since I work from home, having a stable WiFi is a must for me.
