Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.

WTF does “I’m a Jeep” mean?

Orphaned domains like this are interesting, there was a defcon talk, I think, where the presenter bought a bunch of blacklisted orphaned domains just to see if anything would try and connect to them. They got hit with so many botnet clients trying to phone home.

I would double and triple check your not transcoding. Even if you’re watching on the client at whatever the files native resolution is depending on the codec of the file you might still be transcoding. For instance with 1080p anything h265 or AV1 is transcoded into h264 by the server. There’s also a few other situations where Plex with force transcoding or down convert the video whether you want it to or not.

Your NAS shouldn’t be having trouble serving the file to Plex I’d bet it’s transcoding in the background and you just don’t realize it.

Man I expected this is be a shit post copypasta based on the star wars tragedy of Darth Plagueis not a 40 minute researched talk.

Not to be pedantic but Earnhardt died at Daytona not Talladega.

Just north of Antarctica in the southern hemisphere.

But on the opposite end games are only getting bigger and fast internet is still semi expensive so having large drives would be beneficial to people that want to keep multiple games installed on their PC/console.

The ram ceiling is still there but the lowest it goes on any 64bit version of 10 or 11 is 128gbs. Anything SKU above the home versions can address at least 2tb of RAM, which is probably enough.

I was like 99% sure you were wrong because the 32 bit versions were limited to 4gb but looking up and yeah all the versions of 7 have a ram cap the depending on which SKU you were running. 192gbs was the max for 64 bit professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. This is the full list for just Windows 7.

• Windows 7 Starter 32-Bit 2GB
• Windows 7 Home Basic 32-Bit 4GB
• Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit 8GB
• Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit 4GB
• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit 16GB
• Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit 4GB
• Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit 192GB
• Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit 4GB
• Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit 192GB
• Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit 4GB
• Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit 192GB

The top SKU for Windows Server 2008 r2, which was the server counterpart of Windows 7, supported up to 2tb of RAM.

Yeah it definitely a good option depending on your local used market and or what you can find on eBay.

Nah mine draw less than 10 watts at idle, unless you’re constantly loading the cpu you’re not going to see even 25 watts.

I’ve got three different sff desktop units running various apps on them. If you look around you can usually find the tiny form factor business desktops from Dell, HP, and Lenovo used and a few years old for under 100 bucks a piece. The most expensive of the three I bought was a Dell with a 9600t for 90 bucks about a year and a half ago.

I used to work with a couple Czech dudes. One day my coworkers and I were badgering the one dude to tell us a Czech joke. He was pretty reluctant because he said he could only really think of one joke but wasn’t sure it would translate well. When he finally told us the joke he got us with this masterpiece.

Two balloons are floating along, one says to the other and hey look a cactus.

All of us were confused by this, he told us it was much funnier in Czech because balloon and cactus sound similar so it’s a pun. So we had him tell us the joke untranslated in Czech and balloon and cactus sound nothing alike.

I’m still not sure if this dude was fucking with us.

Third party would most likely make things better but there’s no guarantee it would help in the situation you’ve set up. If two of the parties are fine with an actual Nazi in the White House and between them they control over half the votes then we’re still in the same situation.

ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.

ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

My NAS is on an embedded Xeon that at this point is close to a decade old and one of my proxmox boxes is on an Intel 6500t. I’m not really running anything on any really low spec machines anymore, though earlyish in the pandemic I was running boinc with the Open Pandemics project on 4 raspberry pis.

I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.

What’s the name of Luke Skywalker’s nephew’s Tauntaun?

Pi 1 was an amazing idea, I ordered one as a sonon as they were available and then never used it for anything. I’ve bought way to many pis since then.
