While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.

This only applies to new accounts, can be opt-out of, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

Possibly. I haven’t played in a while but it was quite good when I did play.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

I’ve used multiprocessing to squeeze more performance out of numpy and scipy. But yeah, resorting to multiprocessing is a sign that you should be dropping into something like Rust or a C variant.

Of the ways you listed the only one that will actually take advantage of a multi core CPU is multiprocessing

The multiple power supplies are for redundancy. It will work with one plugged in but you are “supposed” to plug in both.

It’s fundamentally not that different from a consumer desktop. Plug in a monitor and a keyboard and a USB with your preferred flavor of headless Linux installer on it. Configure ssh as the first thing you do because you won’t want to plug the monitor and keyboard into it every time you need to tweak something.

You can probably find VGA to HDMI adapters if you can’t find a monitor with VGA support.

I mean so is MP3. If you really want to be a non-proprietary purist you need to rely on Opus for a lossy audio compression, which is not as widely supported in music players as MP3 or AAC.

How is AAC proprietary?

iTunes sells drm-free music downloads. The still do, if you go to the iTunes Store and not the Apple Music streaming surface.

There are better options out there though, like BandCamp.

TBF 0C and 0F are kinda arbitrary values.

Wire guard is pretty easy to set up. Also Docker is great.

opus isn’t lossless

Most actual photographic cameras have some optics inside that can physically move to change the zoom level, something smartphones don’t have space for.

Easiest way is to add the game to be launched through Steam, and then you can use Proton.

Buy physical media (CDs DVDs and Blu Rays) when possible and burn your own as backups when you get stuff digitally.

Set up a computer as a Linux-based server running 24/7 with Plex or Jellyfin or similar. Even most consumer tier motherboards these days can support many sata hard drives, and you can get ones that are 10Tb+ fairly inexpensively. Set them up in RAID of some form to avoid losing data.

It’s good to have a remote backup as well but that can be expensive and more complicated.

I have a similar project called PiKVM. I can remotely turn on my computer from a full shutdown, navigate the BIOS to select an OS, and log in, after which I typically switch to a software-based Remote Desktop which is more performant. But you can’t power on a computer and navigate a BIOS with a software solution.

It’s often the fastest and most convenient method to send a file between two computers or phones (provided both are Apple products).

Tux can/should be in there, but make your character cast from a wide variety of public domain sources. Use real historical figures, classic literature, and mythology.

Some specific ideas:

• Thor (but not too much like the Marvel interpretation)
• Poseidon
• Dracula
• Sherlock Holmes
• Captain Blackbeard
• Steamboat Willie (as of its copyright expiring)
• T-Rex
• Cthulu
• Merlin the wizard
• fairytale characters

Also make a solid modding API to let people add their own characters, items, and stages.
