This is the real answer. Other apps might be bottlenecked by IO so the CPU doesn’t work as hard. Get faster disks, the CPU will see more use. Since top is so small that it loads into memory almost instantly, and has no need for further IO, the CPU is free to spin all the way!
People get worked up when CPU usage is high, but unless there’s a resource leak somewhere, that just means the computer is working at full efficiency.
It’s not just that. I’m a techie. I’ve been in the industry for decades. I know my way around computer very well.
I want to like Jellyfin and I want to ditch Plex (even though I have a lifetime license) because of what it has become and where it’s headed.
That said, the other day my Plex server had some issues that took me a while to figure out. Since when it failed I just wanted to watch an episode of a series and relax, I once again fired up the JF client. I couldn’t get seek to work, I had to manually find and download subtitles (that’s not always the case but when it is, it’s pretty annoying), and ultimately I couldn’t watch my series at all as playback would randomly stop, the player would close and I’d be back at the menu, without the position having been recorded and with no way to fast-forward as seek didn’t work at all.
I ended up spending 15min figuring out what was wrong and fixing Plex, then watched my series undisturbed.
Like I said, I want to drop Plex for JF, but in the 3 years or so that I’ve been running both, every time I fire up JF I end up running back to Plex as I just want to sit back and watch a bloody series or movie.
It will be so fast, you’ll see the results of your commands before you issue them.
Bath water … baby ?
I mean, the logical step is to go to Debian sid, which, despite its alternative name unstable, is really not. I’ve been running a gaming rig on it for over a year with nothing more than vey vey minor hiccups, mostly because I’m impatient and run apt full-upgrade frequently.
HDR shines the most on OLED. Pun not intended. 😅
On servers, I agree. OP just wants a recent version of GIMP though. Production can mean many things, and dogmas are never the answer.
You can always use APT Pinning to grab GIMP and its dependencies from testing without touching the rest of the system.
Or you can just run testing or sid as your base system. My gaming rig is based on testing but pulling Mesa and video derivers from experimental and sid and I haven’t had any issues with it. Been running it for about 2 years now this way.
Ah NFS… It’s so good when it works! When it doesn’t though, figuring out why is like trying to navigate someone else’s house in pitch dark.
Speculating is great for troubleshooting. Every time someone speculates a possible cause, it’s possible to devise a way to test it. It’s called hypothesising. Each tested hypothesis, regardless of the actual results, helps to further the understanding of the problem.
I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.
Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.
Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.
A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.
Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!
How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.
I run it on my router which has the CG-NAT IP address.
Whilst you’re right that it could clash, it’s very unlikely (a 1 in 4194302 chance), I imagine Tailscale would detect the clash and change IPs though I could be wrong as it never happened to me (and probably never will - though in all fairness it will eventually happen to someone).
Been using Tailscale behind CG-NAT for years. It works wonderfully and very rarely needs to route through the DERP infrastructure - it’s almost always a P2P connection.
Control-A and E should work in insert mode. That’s why OP mentions pressing escape before issuing the normal mode ^ and $ commands.
In insert mode, some or most of the EMacs-style shortcuts work.
