Thanks, I will do exactly that then

Yes, I was thinking about that as well and even found some guide on how this can be done. Actually I was eyeing uBlue but it should be exactly the same procedure for both.

The other option is I guess to rebase the system to something like this https://github.com/wayblueorg/wayblue?tab=readme-ov-file which already provides the Hyprland.

Are there any particular advantages and disadvantages of both methods that I should be aware of?

To be honest right now is a relatively good time to build a PC, except for the GPU, which is heavily overpriced. I think if you are content with last gen AMD, this can also be turned to somewhat acceptable levels.

And that’s the biggest ISPs, plus he can still use Tailscale or Zerotier and still be able to access his network. Plus IPv6 IPs should be easy to assign and won’t be paid or limited.

Usually German ISPs are giving you IPv6.

No one is forcing you to connect your TV to the Internet. You can use it in offline mode and it will work just fine.

Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.

I seriously don’t understand your concerns.

Okay, I meant not exciting. It is very much meh.

I think here you also need to teach your kid not to trust unconditionally this tool and to question the quality of the tool. As well as teaching it how to write better prompts, this is the same like with Google, if you put shitty queries you will get subpar results.

And believe me I have seen plenty of tech people asking the most lame prompts.

Copyright regulations for thee but not for me

Most likely you are under CGNAT, so your best bet is Tailscale, Wireguard, CloudFlare Tunnel or Zero Tier. Pick your poison.

I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.

With this GPU you can install a media server like Plex or Jellyfin and offload the transcoding on the GPU, but mind you you will still have a high idle load consumption.

Normally in a headless home server I would need virtualisation and low idle power consumption. So this GPU and PSU are a bit of an overkill if you are not planning to fully utilise them.

And you as an analytics engineer should know that already? I am using some LLMs on almost a daily basis, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, etc. and I know for sure that if you ask it a question about a niche topic, the chances for the LLM to hallucinate are much higher. But also to avoid hallucinating, you can use different prompt engineering techniques and ask a better question.

Another very good question to ask an LLM is what is heavier one kilogram of iron or one kilogram of feathers. A lot of LLMs are really struggling with this question and start hallucinating and invent their own weird logical process by generating completely credibly sounding but factually wrong answers.

I still think that LLMs aren’t the silver bullet for everything, but they really excel in certain tasks. And we are still in the honeymoon period of AIs, similar to self-driving cars, I think at some point most of the people will realise that even this new technology has its limitations and hopefully will learn how to use it more responsibly.

Try in what way?

So pretty much everything. That’s the beauty and the plight of Linux, because there are so many variations of pretty much everything.

Anandtech was more nerdy and technical and I presume less people were reading their articles But also the quality of their content was far superior.

For 70€ you can buy an N4000 mini PC with 6Gb of RAM, and 128Gb eMMC. This is just an example from AliExpress. I am not going to post a link here, but I believe you can find even more offers. Additionally, you can buy some thin clients second hand for dirt cheap.

With the right power supply and BIOS optimisation you can bring their power consumption to be comparable to the power consumption of the Pi, and would be a lot more versatile and powerful as a home/media/automation setup.

That’s definitely true but pretty much you can buy some x64 mini PC for a very similar price, and also similar power consumption that is going to be more versatile and powerful. For example you can run some VMs etc. on top of it. The only benefit of the Rpi nowadags is only their form factor.

Pretty much what NVIDIA is doing with their GPUs. Refusing to provide adequate future proof amount of VRAM on their cards. That’s planned obsolescence in action.
