No.

Yes

Now that’s just mean!

(Enjoy my upvote, haha)

There’s essentially Lineage (formerly Cyanogen, or a fork of it) and Graphene.

Ignore /e/ OS - it’s Lineage with their crap on it.

Go read about those two.

Hahahaha, thanks for that.

A brilliant joke that will last forever!

Worth quoting

Are you me? Lol

Even driving cross-country when I can get to cruise it’s hard to make a difference.

I can make a significant dent in time, but it’s over an 8 hour drive with no traffic. Then I can cut perhaps an hour if I’m doing 10 mph over consistently.

But this only works if you’re on a quiet road, say a “blue highway” in the midwest/western US, not an interstate.

I’ve driven like an old person since forever.

Done the math too many times - you can’t out-maneuver traffic or time.

Hahahahahahaha

I only rarely heard it misused before those maroons (and their ilk) popularized the misuse.

Nah, we already have one.

Just because idiots misuse it…

It doesn’t matter - people still make mistakes, whether corporate or not.

As others have said, unless you’re going to be using those CPUs a lot, you probably don’t need the capability.

I run an old (2019) Dell OptiPlex SFF desktop as my server (I also have an ancient NAS). It runs ESXi just fine, with 2 Linux VM’s and 4 Windows VM’s, with 48GB of RAM.

At idle it consumes just under 20 watts. Peak is 80 watts (limited by the power supply).

Those VM’s all run fine - one is for file services and Jellyfin, one is for dedicated DVD ripping and video conversion.

Even when that VM is converting videos, everything else is responsive. Never get a lag on Jellyfin.

Now imagine how much more performance your server is capable of. Many simultaneous VM’s.

Oh, and it’s a really quiet machine.

I’d sooner have this or multiple mini pc’s than any kind of commercial server hardware. Completely different design approaches - servers are designed for running 24/7 with maximum cooling capability along with max performance. Power and noise aren’t really a consideration.

Sounds like you’re talking about a Mesh VPN.

Syncthing doesn’t need a VPN to function - in fact you’re better off not using a VPN as it’s own rules will see the VPN as a LAN connection and sync data across it when your Syncthing rules exclude using your data connection. Maybe that’s what you saw with Netbird’s data usage. I’d be really surprised if Netbird itself used any significant data.

I have about 20 sync jobs per phone - some are allowed to use cell data (photos), others aren’t. When I enable Tailscale on my phone, Syncthing will try to sync all the jobs because it sees the VPN as a LAN.

I run rooted and use a firewall and block VPN there for Syncthing to prevent this.

What color is no caps?

Who bothers with wired headphones these days?

And a real shower thought!

No.

That assumes that everyone in every generation thinks the same way.

Defender is all you need

I’ve used everything under sun starting with Norton in DOS

Well, it’s not my debt so I sure as hell ain’t paying it.
