It’s possible. That’s basically web scraping.

So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

JetBrains Rider is probably the best C# IDE for Linux, and MS ported .NET server stuff a while ago.

I’m not sure about C# GUI toolkits on Linux. WPF isn’t there, and I’m not sure how mature Maui is on Linux.

I've been caught stealin', once when I was 5 I enjoy stealin', it's just as simple as that Oh well, it's just a simple fact When I want something, man, I don't wanna pay for it

They also just bought an Ad network, so can’t get ad revenue if they can’t track people.

Why is…. 😶

Ugh, I have to take away my cat’s internet access again.

I happen to like the term FOSS and would like to keep it around. It’s catchy.

Definitely time to kick out the corporatists though.

Abracadabra, mumbojumbo, trickledown economics. There, you’re cured.

Egggghhh, a little more over….

Not really. He posts under his own name, so I recognized it from the forums.

He’ll have more time to spend on the Phoronix forums now. 🙂

The big server is all about density and convenience. The thing will run many, many VMs without having to skimp on resources, and it will be easy to admin the VMs remotely.

I have plans to pick up a big workstation to replace the little desktops I have around, and it will be more convenient since getting as console on a VM is much easier. Servers might also have a BMC, which would help admin the server.

Yeah, I would probably have a Shield Pro if the price was lower. It does seem to have to best support though.

This is the front runner, but I’m not sure which device is the best though. Nvidia Shield seems to be the most logical answer.

How is transcoding handled? Does the Intel iGPU have the drivers/support to do transcoding on the fly?

Anyway… In this instance, I’m mainly looking for a client reccs. I have a crappy Roku streaming stick that needs to get replaced, and I’m wondering which client device is the best. An Android device or AppleTV seem to be best choices, since I could get commercial services with hardware acceleration on them if I wanted to.

What are the best hardware and OS combos for a media setup?

Nvidia Shield + Lineage OS? Chromesomething? Roku? AppleTV? X86 + Linux? (I’m not afraid of Linux, but remember some posts about video acceleration not working and services being web only.)

I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a few personal servers as I wait for Slowroll, I want to get back to trying to get Gentoo running, and I should check out Guix as a server in a VM.

Gentoo having a binary option should help since I seem to mess up the kernel part of the installation.

Vanity license plates! 😄
