mr47 , to selfhosted in Remote Desktop solution that works without a monitor on host PC (Windows)

Chrome Remote Desktop works well and doesn't require a monitor (at least not one that's turned on).

mr47 , to piracy in Need advice on remote management of a Jellyfin server and Qbittorrent.

Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we'll stop seeing this... For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something's gotta give.

mr47 , to programmerhumor in Ranking of the most energy-efficient programming languages

I haven't looked into the details of the actual code, but I would expect the compiler optimizations and JIT to figure it all out and end up with very similar native code. Especially since both languages are mature and had enough time to reach such goals. But it's quite possible my assumptions are incorrect.

mr47 , to programmerhumor in Ranking of the most energy-efficient programming languages

Quite a few unexpected results here...

  1. I'm surprised the C binary is not the smallest, and it's outdone by Pascal, of all languages.
  2. The speed/energy difference between Java and C# (almost a factor of 2 in favor of Java).
  3. The relatively good performance of JavaScript compared to other loosely typed multi-paradigm scripting languages.
  4. The difference between C# and F#. That's actually a good reason to question the accuracy of these tests and results.
mr47 , to selfhosted in Good server OS for Jellyfin

I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

As for musl, I haven't mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn't matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.

mr47 , to selfhosted in Good server OS for Jellyfin

Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it's a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It's blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you're planning on using containers). I've been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought "man, I wish it was debian instead".

mr47 , to selfhosted in Server Hardware?

That is a complete overkill. You don't need a cluster of Proxmox nodes for personal hosting. And you certainly don't need a 24-port switch.

mr47 , to world in Why BBC doesn't call Hamas militants 'terrorists' - John Simpson

So, basically: people performed atrocities. Are they evil? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, the BBC has no idea whether it is evil to perform atrocities. Right.

mr47 , to world in 5 things to know about the Hamas militant group’s unprecedented attack on Israel

Emm... Attacking civilians is, by definition, terrorizing citizens. On the other hand, apartheid is something you should read about, study its definition, and what exactly happens in Israel, and then think whether it's the correct use of the word.

mr47 , to news in Hamas surprise attack out of Gaza stuns Israel and leaves hundreds dead in fighting, retaliation

In Israel. Hamas infiltrated Israel, reached towns as far as 10 miles from the border, and started shooting at civilians and taking them hostages. The hostages were transferred back into Gaza. There are no Israeli settlements inside Gaza borders since 2006.

mr47 , to asklemmy in What is the most universal name?

Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter 'n' :)

They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally "God gave", the "Joh" part meaning "God", and "Nathan" meaning "gave".

mr47 , to books in How do you find "Malazan Book of the Fallen"? (now on sale, but probably available in a library near you)

Possible - but I've been listening to audiobooks instead of reading for years now. It's much easier to find the time to listen to an audiobook rather than sitting down to read a book. Don't see it changing in the near future...

mr47 , to books in How do you find "Malazan Book of the Fallen"? (now on sale, but probably available in a library near you)

I've tried twice to listen to it so far, but no luck. I am planning to try again, though. I got further on the 2nd attempt.

mr47 , to mildlyinfuriating in higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs

And that is why in some places in the world, service fee is illegal.

mr47 , to nostupidquestions in How do you all track your car maintenance?

A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I'd like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I'm also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I've been mostly kicking that ball down the street.
