Obviously everything depends on use case. I definitely am a tinkerer and prefer options. I’d never run a jellyfin server off a synology NAS cause… Well cause it can’t transcode very well. So efficiency is less of a concern than processing power.
I get now that my questions was a bit moot, obviously some people will pay a premium for a narrow use case if it brings reliability and ease of use.
I see! Thanks so much for the thoughtful response definitely seems like there’s a use case for people who might be more creatives with a need for storage rather than self-hosting enthusiasts who want to mess around in a homelab.
The prices are still a bit eye watering but you pay for software support for sure.
Is the main appeal of prebuilt NAS cases the aesthetics and the reduction of DIY concerns?
Because they seem to me like overpriced and underpowered computers. Most tech-oriented folks I know have more powerful PCs in a closet somewhere that they could easily convert into a NAS
Edit: some very thoughtful responses thanks y’all! I definitely see the appeal for people who just need something that doesn’t need tinkering or care significantly about power draw and noise.
Its really depressing that all the “resistance” we can offer is to pout and go “BUT THATS ILLEGAL” while our supposed opposition party votes to confirm every nominee and pass every barbaric bill by this admin…
Instruments and a nice microphone. The audio interface handles both hardware side and passes the audio via USB to the PC
Oh I guess I thought they were the same think. I have vesktop.
I don’t have some objective reason personally, I just don’t like web apps for 90℅ of things.
I’m curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?
Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that ‘Discord Wayland sharing’ working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.
It’s not gatekeeping to point out that ‘leftist’ historically doesn’t mean ‘left of center’. It’s used as a reductive - but that’s the nature of trying to reduce political ideologies to a single term - label for ideologies that are anti-capitalist. Nothing Linus said in this post points to him being anti-capitalist, he only commented on social issues.
He might still be a leftist, I’ll give you that, but this post doesn’t really show that.
Maybe it’s just the .world folks but yeah somehow “leftist” on this site has come to mean “left of the American center”…
Very loose definition of “leftist” there but we take a W where we can.
Begging the question was originally a very specific logical fallacy. It’s a type of reasoning where you circularly try to prove your argument. I just kinda wish the usage wasn’t being muddied. https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-original-meaning-of-begging-the-question
“that begs the question”. I wish people would just use the more correct “raises the question”, especially people doing educational/academic content. I hear it across the English-speaking internet
I mean since the Dems’ “big tent” includes Dick fucking Cheney I’m not surprised they’re also implementing Republican aesthetics
“Dude look at how stupid you look in this strawman I made of you!”
Oh you might be right actually
Idk if confirmed trans but she’s also not had the best political takes recently …
It seems cracking denuvo comes with some insane change to your psyche cause nobody that can do it is normal lol
Untrue. We both still disagree on whether threatening to withhold our votes from the democrats in order to get policy change is a strategy worth employing, no? Isn’t that the central point I’ve been making and you’ve been talking past this whole time? We’d still have an argument because you think my position is privileged and you think I “love all the genocide and want that to go faster in Gaza”, no?
You got me tho. I had assumed your comment was left in good faith and that we actually had some fundamental disagreement worth exploring. I started typing away thinking this was going to be productive. I’m a dumbass for that.
Are you here to discuss the topic, then? Or just to leave snarky one-liners? Cause all you’ve done so far is 1) implied I’m a rightwinger and 2) told me im having a pissing match while discussing genocide. You’ve not… replied to any points I’ve made nor seemingly even considered them. I’m not here to pretend I can change your mind, but you’re certainly not contributing much to the topic at hand
White people will hold anyone but themselves responsible for Trumps win when they vote overwhelmingly Republican LMAO. They’ll even lie in posts like this
