  • Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.

    My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.

    Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.

    Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.



  • Pipewire works fine on my Intel 5960x, Intel N3700, Intel 9900k, Intel 9700, AMD 4800HS and even my Intel ES Erying system. No pops or crackles from any inputs or outputs.

    I’ve not tried with a dedicated sound card, just the onboard on all these systems.

    Running KDE on one system along with Hyprland on another two with the remainder as headless systems.

    You sure this issue isn’t somehow related to your hardware or something else?






  • Creating a browser from scratch is a monumental task, ladybird is such a project which has been in progress since ~2022, and will probably take another couple before it’s at beta. Optimistic release is 2028, or ~6 years of development.

    I’ve moved to schizofox (NixOS) but there are plenty of other forks available which remove telemetry and other default behaviours from Firefox.

    Chromium forks are another alternative however due to chromiums dominance in the browser space I’m reluctant to shoutout any forks.

    Yeah man what an arsehole giving away free things, spending time making free things for everyone to use for free.

    If he wants to keep his code private until he’s ready to release it - that’s somewhat up to him. The repo is a step in the right direction, just give it some time.

    Looking through the git repo the ignore is lopping off quite a number of files too (server) however I’m not sure how much of those are things like secrets, cache, other scripts and so forth.



  • Oh but it’s like anything in life, you can skirt the brim and get a taste of what’s on the outside of the bowl, or you can run down the sides and take a splash with the real meat and potatoes.

    Nothing wrong with not asking the how or the why, or the who and the what however I find that attitude has led us to being between three and twenty five foot tall, made of a hairy, oily goo wrapped in a tee shirt.





  • Intel made some massive mistakes with their post 14nm nodes, they overextended and fell on their own sword.

    Admittedly what Intel were aiming for with their “10nm” node had higher density than tsmc’s “7nm” (from memory), considering the timeframe that would have been another massive leap for Intel; and if they had pulled it off AMD would be struggling like the bulldozer days.

    22nm to 14nm Intel were on fire, almost seemed untouchable for quite some time. X99 was (in my eyes) the biggest leap in the right direction and probably their best consumer platform ever released. Huge cache, moar cores, pcie lanes for days and a refresh on their latest node (6950x).
