The “PC” in that statement is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Who do you think I am?

If you want people to pronounce your project name correctly you should spell it that way. Having a FAQ on pronunciation means you’ve messed up and lost already. Want it to be called “Engine X”? Call it “Engine X”.

My favourite is SAP not wanting people to call it Sap but to spell it out S.A.P. Well sorry, but it’s a CVC word, literally the first kind of word everyone learns.

I still maintain that Emby is better than Jellyfin. I try it again maybe once a year and every time I end up back on Emby. It just runs better, works pretty flawlessly and doesn’t lose my libraries every so often. Music playback is better by far on Emby and that’s my main usecase.

Hardware decoding would be nice, but I don’t have a system I could use this on for either and I’ve not had trouble without it.

I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

Thank you to everyone who helped here. The monitor arrived this evening. Got it all setup with 2x 27" 1440 screens on arms connected over DP. KDE identified it straight away and ran at the full 180Hz with no configuration. Only thing I had to do was set the scaling to 100% instead of 125%. Played some Doom at a solid 180fps and it’s really nice. Then some Metro Exodus where I get between 60 and 110, all looks lovely. The colours are pretty similar to my 27" Dell, but I haven’t tried matching them 100% accurately.

Well done Linux devs for making this possible and easy.

PS, I should have had my second monitor on an arm years ago!

I would actually vomit, which as we all know, is the true sign of romance.

Mono does mean one, but that’s not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Played a bit of Metro Exodus last night. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, even though the silence of your character is weird.

Thanks. That fills me with a lot more confidence. Trigger pulled on the monitor.

Cool, thank you. I’m going to give it a shot then :)

Thankfully I’ve not had that issue. It knows which is the main one and picks the right resolution even though one is 1440 and one 1200. Moving to 2x 1440 monitors should hopefully simplify things in that regard

RAID does not work today with any disks you may have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55GfAwa8RI

.The only sane option is ZFS with zRAID1/2.

Removed by mod

An HBA with the SAS cables should run to about £50 used.

Started Metal Gear Solid V yesterday. Spent about 2.5 hrs on it but think I’ve only actually played 45mins of actual game play. Fuck me there’s a lot of cut scenes.

Sounds like a good plan to me

I’ve switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?
