Uh… you do know that people don’t literally save a bunch of Linux ISOs, right? It’s a euphemism for collecting less legit things, like pirated media or porn.
By the time you want to install the same distro again, it’s likely that a new version will be out and you’ll want to re-download it anyway.
Edit: okay, okay, some of y’all really do collect Linux ISOs. That’s fine; I won’t kink-shame.
…my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily…
That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
That’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.
For any machines that are too inefficient to be worth continuing to compute with, you could at least save the power supplies for electronics projects. I’ve got some 12V addressable RGB Christmas lights being powered by an old ATX power supply, for example.
Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.
This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”
Is metasearch really the best we can do? What about YaCy, or something else more like that?
I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.
Fuck it, write everything in hiragana and katakana.
NUCs (specifically Intel 8th?-gen or later) are pretty much ideal for serving Jellyfin because the Intel integrated graphics can do video transcoding and the software is actually not very demanding otherwise, so the low-power CPUs are fine.
If you were buying hardware specifically for Jellyfin (i.e. didn’t want to cobble together something used), I’d suggest an N100 or N150-based NAS mini-PC like this: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150
It could literally be a gascan strapped to tricycle for all they care.
Also, cars that are excessively safe for their occupants tend to make them deadlier to other road users.
It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.
I’d be funny if he were, but no. “Con man” really is short for “confidence man.”
It’s not actually about the scammer ‘being confident,’ though; it’s about the scammer winning the mark’s trust.
The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.
Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.
I still have almost no idea what PulseAudio and PipeWire even do, aside from them being two of five(!) different audio-related subsystems that any given sound problem might be related to. (The others being OSS, ALSA, and JACK, which I also don’t understand.)

Yep, top is Aziraphale and bottom is Crowley.
“Most Unices” haven’t been relevant for a decade or more. At this point it’s really just Linux, OS X, Android (to the extent it counts as a Unix), and BSD as an also-ran. Obviously OS X and Android don’t care about Wayland or X11 to begin with, so all you’re really saying is that BSD is getting left behind.
I guess they consider their murder of non-subscription self-hosted multiplayer to be complete enough that their rent-seeking game service can survive without the need for hardware walls for the proverbial garden.
