Not in a single drive yet, but very viable in a single server these days.

I remember clearing drive space on my first computer once, I went off of install size and anything other than a couple of key games that took up multiple hundreds of Mb got the boot and anything less than 100 Mb stayed installed for a bit longer. When you’ve only got a 40GB drive, thems the choices you have to make!

Meanwhile I’ve seen Fortnite literally fail to update with less than 100GB free because it needs to modify so many files in its gigantic install

Honestly I just wanted to call them out for being shitty in a way that might bite without putting effort into it, because trolls be trollin

Another idea I forgot to share is potentially just creating a worksheet that you can send to a printing company for paper forms. There’s tons of printing companies which you can just provide a PDF or even just a logo and some info and get a custom pad of paper printed with that, so it’ll have your logo and the fields you need then just rip off each sheet after it’s written out.

Otherwise if you really need this info digital, a spreadsheet or something in saltcorn is probably your best bet, but really you want to keep it simple at the scale you described (hence the custom printed pads of paper idea)

That’s a really weird off-topic hill to die on

I helped a user who exclusively uses a trackball and started getting used to it within seconds. My thumb was definitely not used to the trackball but I very quickly adapted and could navigate the computer normally

Yeah at that rate if you actually should be involving a computer you’re best off in a spreadsheet or maaaaybe a database frontend like saltcorn.

I don’t get how someone reviewing a product that may or may not come with unlicensed content makes one personally liable

You mean they didn’t just turn off the firewall on all client machines and rely entirely on a single firewall at the network gateway? Because that’s what I’ve seen way too much of…

My understanding is you’d have a completely seperate set of peripherals for each seat, so that might be an extremely viable solution

When I’ve used Prime Video before it worked flawlessly in Firefox with ublock, but that was on a laptop

I’ve encountered some unexpected transcodes or playback failures that seem to stem from app compatibility problems. Most TV/streaming stick apps for Jellyfin are maintained by only 1-2 volunteers so you can get some funky bugs given the enormous number of possible combinations of codecs, server settings, client hardware configurations and client versions even for just a single TV/streaming device platform

Fiber can deliver a single 800gigabit connection over a single strand of fiber, and if you have multiple connections you want to run over a single fiber you can use different colors for each connection and run theoretically up to 2048 different connections over a single strand of fiber. (Currently most commercial deployments top out at about 160 connections per fiber strand)

Since these various connections are all made up of specific wavelengths of light, they can be “switched” by simply running the light through a prism, meaning a ton of your network infrastructure is entirely passive and doesn’t require any electricity to operate, reducing downtime, complexity and cost

One downside of fiber is you generally need one connection for uplink and one for downlink, but there are bidi transceivers which either use 2 wavelengths, one for uplink and one for down, or will time share uplink and downlink. Or since each of these individual strands of fiber are incredibly small, literally about 7 microns across, you can pack hundred or even thousands of strands of fiber into one cable.

Fiber also operates at literally the speed of light, meaning the connection to the Internet is incredibly low latency. Fiber also doesn’t rust like coax or telephone wires. As long as the actual fiber isn’t broken you can keep replacing the transceivers at each end indefinitely to upgrade the connection

I will agree though, it is super cool that multi-gig connections ultimately are possible over existing coax networks. I didn’t think I’d see it but here we are!

Edit: I was a little out of date. Currently up to 1.6Terrabit over fiber

I’m literally writing this while pooping at a music festival with IRL friends. Most folks are either done with AI or scared of it. Some are excited for the possibilities but must acknowledge it’s a bubble

And it’s a lot smaller than the 10’ by 10’ dining room

You sure they aren’t meter inches?

I love how terrible this is! The 27x1m" bedroom only has 1 method of egress so would be against most building codes, the 120x1m" bedroom has dueling TVs, the 45’x1m" “En Suite” is not “En Suite” and contains multiple toilets but no shower. The 25x1m" “Bath” contains only a bath tub and 2 sinks plus a walled in washer/dryer Etc. Etc.

Assuming the AI bubble doesn’t pop first. Given how much everyone outside of Silicon Valley hates AI that does seem likely

NVMe drives are commonly produced in 128 and 256GB variants too

You mean building lots of data centers full of hot servers that need heavy cooling in Phoenix Arizona, where temperatures regularly exceed 120F might not be such a good idea?
