Yeah anyone with that info is not gonna actually name the companies in question lol.

But i know four in Melbourne. And i can tell you that most serious server infrastructure is nix. Especially in ISPs, RADIUS babyyyy

That article was a weird mix of insider info and wild inaccuracies

Fucking hell the raws woulda been gigantic

Digital Cinema Package. Films come out in a buncha files that rather resemble a dvd rip. You got your video files (still called reels!) and your audio files, maybe some subtitle files and other bits and pieces and your assetmap (list of files) all in a big fat folder collectively called a DCP

Hahahah did you enjoy Australian Internet? It’s wonderfully archaic

(MPS, Delux, Gofilex or Qubewire?)

A small dcp is around 500gb. But that’s like basic film shizz, 2d, 5.1 audio. For comparison, the 3D deadpool 2 teaser was 10gb.

Aspera’s commonly used for transmission due to the way it multiplexes. It’s the same protocolling behind Netflix and other streamers, although we don’t have to worry about preloading chunks.

My laughter is mostly because we’re transmitting to a couple thousand clients at once, so even with a small dcp thats around a PB dropped without blinking

I work in cinema content so hysterical laughter

I run slack with no gui as my webserver.

…been running it since 2001, guilty as charged lmao

Anyone used it for multiusers with separate menus?

The most ridiculous thing was i clearly explained this was for users on a closed network to have a machine they coukd rdp to for email and browsing. I mean yeah you can totally access your mail via terminal but there’s a reason I haven’t done that outside postfix checks since 1997

Terminal in this instance meaning “endpoint”, not command line

Ugh, yeah that’s a dealbreaker. At that point you may as well install a remote kvm or use the console in IPMI/IDRAC

have you tried KRdp?

edit: Huh, apparently supports it natively?

Wayland sessions support RDP in Ubuntu 21.04 and later. To enable it just go to: Settings > Sharing > Screen Sharing

Oooooooof lol

I actually had pretty good success using the ol’ RDP hack, both in mint and ubuntu. This is a fun guide once you get past the raging unearned elitsm “apparently this is a thing” yeah no shit idiot I used to run it on friggin’ NT

There are a lot of linux people out there who are…very odd. I ran into a bunch who laughed at the thought of a gui terminal server - something i’ve been working with professionally for over two decades. Some really don’t understand jack nor shit and just parrot half-truths and poor knowledge like it’s gospel. “Don’t uninstall apps, you’ll break shit!!” No, uninstalling apps improperly breaks shit…

/rant

(Btw if i see one more person wail about how terrifying it is to run DD ima choke a bitch…)

Because you’re dealing with lifelong windows users who want a reassuringly familiar looking OS not fucking linux techs

Jesus christ learn to tailor to the user
