I've got a 7800XT now and I moved from a 1070 and I've been happy with it overall. I'm on Fedora and I bought the 7800 kinda close to launch, so I went through some issues that seem to have been solved by now. Nothing that really made me go "gee I wish I hadn't switched".
I don't do anything related to streaming, or machine learning, so I can't really speak to it's ability with those, but gaming has been stable, and, aside from a now solved problem with rocm, it works fine with Blender cycles (at least on Fedora 40). Davinci Resolve has worked fine too. On launch, there wasn't VAAPI support for AV1, but that works just fine for me now. (VAAPI is the open source interface for GPU video acceleration).
Currently, I'd say the experience is perfectly fine.
I started with Letterboxd. Then I found half a dozen movie reviewers I like and generally agree with and follow them on Letterboxd. Then when I look for a movie’s ratings, I look at what the general average is and what each of the reviewers I follow have rated it.
When I like, say, comedy horror, I know the average reviews are going to be low. But the 3-4 individuals I follow who also like comedy-horror, they will rate a movie in that genre higher and I am generally going to rate the movie similarly. They are also more likely to leave an informative review.
Any other system that is solely aggregation is going to be useless for less mainstream movies. Like the comedy-horror, lots of people simply don’t like the genre. Foreign language movies will get a ratings hit from people who don’t like subs, totally unrelated to the actual quality of the movie.
Possibly controversial but prostitution. Allows for regulation and workplace safety. Would probably calm a lot of men down as well and help them focus on the more important aspects of getting into a relationship.
In the Bible, it says clearly that no one should make a dare to edit or correct the Bible by any words.
Not trolling here, but where does it say that?
It would have to be from a time when people were already conscious of this collection of writings being considered “The Bible”, so I’m assuming New Testament somewhere? And would any writings added after that not be considered to have flaunted that rule?
I’m not religious at all, but I’m very interested in how the Bible came to be The Bible.
Good list, I also use most of these. Cannot overstate how great Everything is for searching files. I have about 1tb of books and 3tb of comics and I don’t know how I’d find anything without it. Everything + Freecommander was a game changer. When I’m at work and have to use use the default windows explorer it’s painful.
FOSS remote camera control and fine art printing software is top of my agenda currently. Got a few avenues of enquiry but any recommendations would be welcomed, particularly on the printing side. I’d also like to become expert at using my current programs, especially GIMP and Ardour, for my own use but also so I can teach others.
No, the only people complaining about replacement rates are governments that are in bed with corperations that need endless growth to feed thier capitalists machines.
TLDR: probably a lot of people continue using the thing that they know if it just works as long as it works well enough not to be a bother.
Many many years ago when I learned, I think the only ones I found were Apache and IIS. I had a Mac at the time which came pre installed with Apache2, so I learned Apache2 and got okay at it. While by release dates Nginx and HAProxy most definitely existed, I don’t think I came across either in my research. I don’t have any notes from the time because I didn’t take any because I was in high school.
When I started Linux things, I kept using Apache for a while because I knew it. Found Nginx, learned it in a snap because the config is more natural language and hierarchical than Apache’s XMLish monstrosity. Then for the next decade I kept using Nginx whenever I needed a webserver fast because I knew it would work with minimal tinkering.
Now, as of a few years ago, I knew that haproxy, caddy, and traefik all existed. I even tried out Caddy on my homelab reverse proxy server (which has about a dozen applications routed through it), and the first few sites were easy - just let the auto-LetsEncrypt do its job - but once I got to the sites that needed manual TLS (I have both an internal CA and utilize Cloudflare’ origin HTTPS cert), and other special config, Caddy started becoming as cumbersome as my Nginx conf.d directory. At the time, I also didn’t have a way to get software updates easily on my then-CentOS 7 server, so Caddy was okay-enough, but it was back to Nginx with me because it was comparatively easier to manage.
HAProxy is something I’ve added to my repertoire more recently. It took me quite a while and lots of trial and error to figure out the config syntax which is quite different from anything I’d used before (except maybe kinda like Squid, which I had learned not a year prior…), but once it clicked, it clicked. Now I have an internal high availability (+keepalived) load balancer than can handle so many backend servers and do wildcard TLS termination and validate backend TLS certs. I even got LDAP and LDAPS load balancing to AD working on that for services like Gitea that don’t behave well when there’s more than one LDAPS backend server.
So, at some point I’ll get around to converting that everything reverse proxy to HAProxy. But I’ll probably need to deploy another VM or two because the existing one also has a static web server and I’ve been meaning to break up that server’s roles anyways (long ago, it was my everything server before I used VMs).
