Saw this stop when watching the video yesterday. He mentioned it one earlier in his ad read which I totally missed (thank sponsor block), but noticed it too when I saw the desktop. Personally think this is great, if someone has a big reach it’s Pewdiepie, though I doubt he’d ever make a video on it, but he might mention it here and there. Either way, great more people are realizing what a breeze Linux is.

If you’re like me and had not heard of OCCT before:

OCCT is the only comprehensive stability testing software available. 20 years of experience have proved OCCT to be the community’s software of choice in terms of stability and performance testing.

CPU, GPU, Memory, VRAM, Power supplies are tested in the most efficient and accurate way possible. If there’s anything wrong, we’ll find it and report it.

OCCT includes many advanced features, ranging from per-core CPU testing, varying GPU loads, and much more.

Holy shit that’s a really well made and cool website!

Thanks for sharing the details on this, very interesting!

Niagara for the win! Developers also realize that not everyone loves Google, so it’s possible to get the apk from their website, for both the free and paid version. For those who don’t like subscriptions, they also offer a one-time payment! 😁

Username checks out 😅

AFAIK The Finals doesn’t have VR. Think they strictly meant VR support only for No Man’s Sky.

Very neat, was just looking for this!

Recently discovered KleverNotes by KDE, while only a desktop app it’s really really nice! It’s dead simple and straight to the point markdown editor. Recommend folks to check it out.

Thanks for that! ✨

Oh thats a lot less than i had imagined actually and very neat that u can turn of re-hosting pictures! Putting this on my to-do list!

Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it’s not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

Alright yeah I see what you mean. The i7-6700K was just a leftover cpu I had from a prvious computer build, and it has worked wonders uptil now as it has Quick Sync. But yeah, I was kinda hoping there would be an “easy” solution for connecting a MINI PC to some type of enclosed case for the HDDs with a SATA connection between the two. I’ll probably end up with a different use case for the minipc in the end. Thanks for your input!

Right, so sorry if I was a bit unclear about this. The rack is just something i’d like in the forseeable future. I like the idea of having a small homelab.

My usecase is media streaming. Unraid because its more simple and I want to support the good work they do there.

Am not planning on using the big machine in the future, this is just what I was able to scramble up as a student from second hand shops and friends.

I assume you mean the AMD CPU when you mention that its an odd choice? Well, im getting it for free, so thats why :)

No idea how I would connect the drivers, was hoping there would be an easy solution for this but seems there might not be? Guess I’ll have to look into something that has data as you say as I wouldn’t want to slow down speeds or make it unreliable.

The rack I linked isn’t one I want on specific, but generally in that direction. It’s a small one for sure, though they have larger ones too:

My apologies, It is mostly a media server (Jellyfinn+arr stack), but also for many random projects i like such as Mealie, Freshrss, linkding, memos etc…

forgot to mention im getting the mini-pc for free 😅

thanks for the link!

Wow that’s really neat, thanks!

Thanks I personally really needed this today actually! Well written and good points. Today is that kind day I need to take a step back and in a week or two ill have sorted out thoughts and have a more refreshed approach. Thanks.

Defo The biggest hurdle I think, not to mention making the USB bootable with additional software. Dead easy for us, but grandma would never have been able to wrap her head around that.

And Tt be fair, this process is the same for Windows. The only difference is people purchase their pc’s with Windows pre-installed for them. I do wish more people got to experience the difference in installing Linux vs Windows though, bet it would be an eye-opener to many.

Also, I wonder what year stores will ask customers what OS they would like installed on their PC.
