SGH

It’s just the fact that, at some point, if you want a faster computer, you’re bound to have DDR5.

AMD 5000 is fast, but how does it compare to last gen? Is there a 5000 CPU that can get the same score as a high end 9000 CPU?

What if you have a homelab server to upgrade but find out you need more PCIe lanes?

Other than that, yeah, you don’t need DDR5, but DDR4 is slowly going out of production and is also rising in price… so you’re screwed either way.

Honestly, given that they should be purely compressing data, I would suppose that none of the formats you mentioned has ECC recovery nor builtin checksums (but I might be very mistaken on this). I think I only saw this within WinRAR, but also try other GUI tools like 7zip and check its features for anything that looks like what you need, if the formats support ECC then surely 7zip will offer you this option.

I just wanted to point out, no matter what someone else might say, if you were to split your data onto multiple compressed files, the chances of a bit rotting deleting your entire library are much lower, i.e. try to make it so that only small chunks of your data is lost in case something catastrophic happens.

However, if one of your filesystem-relevant bits rot, you may be in for a much longer recovery session.

It only depends whether the app and its OS/kernel interface use a 32-bit value to store the time information.

32-bit architecture or OS has nothing to do with this bug, for example 16-bit architectures must’ve used 32-bit time, too (otherwise they’d be able to only count up to 32-65 seconds).

I am using bazzite for gamedev and it is AWESOME.

It is immutable but ships with distrobox and boxbuddy, which lets you easily create linux containers with mutable systems (i.e. I am currently developing on a fedora container with Qt Creator, for example) and you can install your packages in that terminal.

No chances of breaking your main OS.

I set up my instance like follows:

Boxbuddy -> New distrobox container -> Fedora -> Give it a name.

Wait for the installation (should be about 300MB IIRC).

In the start menu you will now be able to run your instance’s terminal (search for your instance name).

sudo dnf install qt-creator

Back in boxbuddy, in my instance I selected “show installed gui applications”, selected Qt Creator -> Add to applications menu.

Qt Creator then shows up in the start menu (search for either Qt Creator, or your instance name).

It will run in the container, but has full access to your home directory for development.

I could then install all my other required packages from the same terminal that I installed qt-creator from.

Easy peasy.

Disclaimer: Typing from my phone. The instructions may not be exactly like I said, but those are the steps.

No terminal magic is needed in Bazzite to make this work.

More like effectively a paid-for VPS which, depending on where you live, might cost about €3/mo.

Configuration is all on your end and, to be fair, you may still end up on a blocklist since that’s just a way to bypass their VPN restriction and your IP will not show up to be a residential address.

I don’t know if the critique is well deserved, considering that “we” probably don’t “want people switching to”… a minecraft server management utility built in nodejs that’s also barely mantained.
Yeah, I think it’s clear that I really didn’t get the reasoning behind “we want people switching to”.
We’re talking about a server side utility, and whoever is using that should either have a bit of knowledge about servers, or be versatile enough to learn even if just by getting their hands dirty - on that regard, one should use a virtualisation system so that they can freely manage their OS and package versions without breaking everything in the meantime.

To contribute to this discussion, I tried CubeCoders AMP and never looked back.

Installation was relatively easy as it’s a one-liner installation script, but you have to purchase a license to set up a game server.

Mod management isn’t the best, as there is no real utility other than the file manager, but I understand that’s an almost impossible issue to solve because of how many configuration variants exist.

I had three instances running on three different systems at one point, even if just to host other game servers since it’s not limited to MC.

While I use LibreNMS as it uses SNMP for monitoring (which is pretty much available everywhere), I don’t believe it has http alerts, but I know for a fact that it can send Telegram messages.

That seems legit to me.

DRM content is usually encrypted and only decrypted through some proprietary plugins, so you have to agree to use these plugins if you want to watch these videos.

This is the same mechanism that Netflix and Disney+ use and it helps them by not letting you download movies to your computer.

Ironically, stowman is a bash script whose only purpose is to wrap git and stow so that you only need a couple of very simple commands in order to manage dotfiles, the automation (i.e. the synchronization task) doesn’t seem to be a part of stowman.

Nope, au contraire, I agree, I’m just pointing out that you said that digital storage conversion should happen in non-scientific notation, so you should now agree with OP in that Google is choosing the wrong output format for a, quote from the screenshot, “Digital Storage” conversion.

And yes, I’m writing multiple comments trying to explain this through narrative, without having to point out what in your reasoning sounds stupid.

I.E. Now don’t you tell me that Google is incapable of figuring out which output format it should use for such a calculation…

Since I apparently need to explain this like you’re 5, please read my last comment like the following:

“Are you now agreeing with me/OP that whenever you work with Digital Storage units you should never use scientific notation?”

Are you telling me that whenever you work with Digital Storage units you should never use scientific notation?

I don’t see any reply from OP so I’m growing confident that what you’re talking about is not OP’s point.

Often times when coding you may want to quickly write down 2MB but you may need to type it in bytes, so either you calculate 2 * 1024 * 1024 while coding, or you remember the number 2097152.

Now, since 2097152 is not such a common number that one would remember, you may quickly turn to the globally acclaimed oracle search engine to get such an answer, but all you get is a number in scientific notation, approximated, without an option to read it in standard decimal base. So you have to open the calculator and ask the same question again to get the answer you need.

If it helps, try to ignore what’s in the search bar and tell me if it makes more sense.

Edit: Additionally, if you were to NOT use the scientific notation, the length of the result would be shorter:

2,097e+6 (8 characters) vs 2097152 (7 characters)

I don’t think that’s the issue, OP also changed from 1 to 2, so I believe they basically want to know the result of 2 * 1024 * 1024, but the issue is that the result is written in scientific notation.
