    Good morning guys

    Good morning xpress. How's it going? Still racing the deadline?

    Morning noob. Yup, its still on, and a new project started. Have to work on that as well. :(

    Ah, good luck, dude. BTW, made the jump to Lubuntu. Working on setting up, as we speak.

    Thats great. All softwares/alternatives you used on windows available in Linux? Also try xubuntu as well if you have free time.

    Yup, installing them one by one. But, have no experience with them yet. This is mostly applicable for GUI apps on Windows. Glad that I moved to Linux though, as most of the time for my projects I have had to use either WSL or a VM. This would be much better, I guess.

    I did use Xubuntu years ago, and did like it. But, have used Lubuntu more than Xubuntu in the past few years. Hence the choice.

    You are free bird now. :p

    Yes, was a bit difficult with the setup, especially moving files and converting the partitions to ext4. I prefer that over NTFS. Currently, moving files on a 5400RPM HDD, so, you know, it's frustrating.

    You are running OS in HDD?

    No. On an NVMe. Just had a few files on HDD, especially the VM's VDIs. Was a struggle backing them up and then moving them.

    Yup, VDIs are big and take lots of time to move, esp if you store them in single file like me.

    I just tarred the important files within each of these VDIs. They themselves were pretty large.

    What do you run on those VMs?

    Every one of my Linux projects including builds of kernels and some distros was done on those VMs.

    Ah that mystery project. ;)

    Nah, this is different. I am into PS4 Linux projects.

    You have a PS4?

    Yup. Can't remember the last time I gamed on it though.

    Time to get a ps5 then :wink:

    Broke right now. Will hopefully get the PS6.

    I think they relased a new version of PS5 recently.

    PS5 Pro - That's a glorified PS5, imo. Would rather spend that money on a new Gaming PC.

    I prefer the gaming pc anytime. I like to have some control over the things I buy.

    I am more into scalability and long term commitment hence PCs for me as well.

    Yup. Upgrading/modifying the rig is the main advantage. Someday I will intall the roof top solar panels, and will buy an ultimate rig at that time.

    Electricity consumption is a concern >>?

    nope not at all....... there's solar.......

    For storing Media for something like Jellyfin, what would you guys recommend - 3.5" SATA HDD or NVMe?

    For large storage definitely HDDs. Price/GB.

    Ssds aare getting cheaper 😎

    Not for larger storage, like 4TB

    SSD prices are okay for upto 1 TB.

    Yup, upto 1TB they are fine.

    Moreover, if you are getting an SSD 2TB or higher, I'd definitely recommend a Samsung/atleast a Crucial, not any of those cheaper brands.

    I always prefer Samsung. I have 1Nvme, 1TB 860 evo, and 500GB portable T5.

    Yah. They are the best, but, are much more expensive.

    I usually buy them when there are good offers. (or mistakes :p )

    Me as well. I try to hunt for them, but, most of the time, they are picked up very quickly.

    Not much now. Those were golden days when Amazon was launched in India.

    Ahh ok. But, still there are a few errors every now and then.

    Mostly they are cancelling orders if there are any pricing errors. Did you find any recently? They used to ship everything in the beginning.

    Bought lots of stuff at that time that I'm still using like logitech keyboards, ssds, 1 hdd , so many...

    Oh yah. I have heard of Flipkart cancelling em, not Amazon. As for recent finds, not any on computer peripherals.

    Amazon also joined Flipkarts cancelling band a long time ago. But FK is more aggressive though.

    Yup, recently I din't see any mistakes in computer peripherals (or not coming our way due to tg channels)

    Yah, they have grown smarter Ig.

    Yup. I missed those golden days. Esp the Amazon treasure hunt. (1 rupee product if we crack the puzzle). I won like around 40 items in one sale. The local courier company sent a separate auto to deliver my items lol. :D

    Damn. Those never worked out for me.

    Only error that occurs now is phone transforms into a soap 🤣

    Always record everything when you open a parcel to be on safeside.

    I have made this a habit now regardless of the price of the item

    Me too. I have GBs of unboxing videos. Initially I thought I can open a youtube channel with unboxing videos. But later dropped the idea. :p

    LOL! I keep them for 6 months atleast.

    I like to keep memories. Storage is cheap. :p

    Too lazy to move from my phone + lack of storage are reasons why I have to clear em up from time to time.

    For storing Media for something like Jellyfin, what would you guys recommend - 3.5" SATA HDD or NVMe?

    For large storage definitely HDDs. Price/GB.

    Ssds aare getting cheaper 😎

    Not for larger storage, like 4TB

    SSD prices are okay for upto 1 TB.

    Yup, upto 1TB they are fine.

    Moreover, if you are getting an SSD 2TB or higher, I'd definitely recommend a Samsung/atleast a Crucial, not any of those cheaper brands.

    I always prefer Samsung. I have 1Nvme, 1TB 860 evo, and 500GB portable T5.

    Yah. They are the best, but, are much more expensive.

    I usually buy them when there are good offers. (or mistakes :p )

    Me as well. I try to hunt for them, but, most of the time, they are picked up very quickly.

    Not much now. Those were golden days when Amazon was launched in India.

    Ahh ok. But, still there are a few errors every now and then.

    Mostly they are cancelling orders if there are any pricing errors. Did you find any recently? They used to ship everything in the beginning.

    Bought lots of stuff at that time that I'm still using like logitech keyboards, ssds, 1 hdd , so many...

    Oh yah. I have heard of Flipkart cancelling em, not Amazon. As for recent finds, not any on computer peripherals.

    Amazon also joined Flipkarts cancelling band a long time ago. But FK is more aggressive though.

    Yup, recently I din't see any mistakes in computer peripherals (or not coming our way due to tg channels)

    Yah, they have grown smarter Ig.

    Yup. I missed those golden days. Esp the Amazon treasure hunt. (1 rupee product if we crack the puzzle). I won like around 40 items in one sale. The local courier company sent a separate auto to deliver my items lol. :D

    Damn. Those never worked out for me.

    pendrive for 1 rupee

    Good morning guys

    Good morning xpress. How's it going? Still racing the deadline?

    Morning noob. Yup, its still on, and a new project started. Have to work on that as well. :(

    Ah, good luck, dude. BTW, made the jump to Lubuntu. Working on setting up, as we speak.

    Thats great. All softwares/alternatives you used on windows available in Linux? Also try xubuntu as well if you have free time.

    Yup, installing them one by one. But, have no experience with them yet. This is mostly applicable for GUI apps on Windows. Glad that I moved to Linux though, as most of the time for my projects I have had to use either WSL or a VM. This would be much better, I guess.

    I did use Xubuntu years ago, and did like it. But, have used Lubuntu more than Xubuntu in the past few years. Hence the choice.

    You are free bird now. :p

    Yes, was a bit difficult with the setup, especially moving files and converting the partitions to ext4. I prefer that over NTFS. Currently, moving files on a 5400RPM HDD, so, you know, it's frustrating.

    You are running OS in HDD?

    No. On an NVMe. Just had a few files on HDD, especially the VM's VDIs. Was a struggle backing them up and then moving them.

    Yup, VDIs are big and take lots of time to move, esp if you store them in single file like me.

    I just tarred the important files within each of these VDIs. They themselves were pretty large.

    What do you run on those VMs?

    Every one of my Linux projects including builds of kernels and some distros was done on those VMs.

    Ah that mystery project. ;)

    Nah, this is different. I am into PS4 Linux projects.

    You have a PS4?

    Yup. Can't remember the last time I gamed on it though.

    Time to get a ps5 then :wink:

    Broke right now. Will hopefully get the PS6.

    I think they relased a new version of PS5 recently.

    PS5 Pro - That's a glorified PS5, imo. Would rather spend that money on a new Gaming PC.

    I prefer the gaming pc anytime. I like to have some control over the things I buy.

    Depends. If you are a tinkerer or a security engineer, a semi-closed system like PS is always interesting.

    Interesting but not preferable, everyone prefers mac* or *nix systems.

    I was talking about test subjects among major security engineers. Check Hackerone.

    I know what were you talking about, and I didn't said they aren't fun, but not preferable than PCs.

    Oh no, obviously, they aren't to be considered PC alternatives.

    Anything AI related like what Deadly chemist did on the thread?

    Depends if I have enough graphical power to run a LLM or better yet, no AI stuff, not a fan tbh.

    Oh yah. You could anyways use something like DeepAI.

    Don't have grandfathered account with them and I don't think I will do it nonetheless, would probably end up creating image optimization service for Shopify or something.

    Ah ok. Do share your link if/when done.

    US Air Force disagrees - https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html

    See. Most people just think of these as simple little boxes, but, that's not always the case. It's not a well known fact that, gaming consoles are often packed with good, if not the best hardware. But, proprietary tech and lack of open source drivers makes them good enough, just for gaming. It's also a lesser known fact that Sony usually sells the consoles itself at a loss. Their profits comes from games and accessories.
