I couldn't not.
You could not not?
I get maybe 5 or 10 emails about this Solana thing per week (to my spam folder of course), saying I've been granted some crypto that I need to claim. I'm not sure what they're actually trying to do - gain access to crypto wallets maybe?
unlike Windows you should never give userspace applications root permission
This is a best practice on Windows, too. Apps don't run with admin permissions unless you either explicitly run them with admin permissions, they're configured to always run as admin (rare), or they request elevation via a UAC prompt.
I don't think WINE would work, because it likely relies on a custom driver.
If you don't have a Windows installation, booting into a WinPE LiveCD (like Sergei Strelec's WinPE: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html) and installing it in the live environment should work. Running Windows in a VM should work too, if you pass the USB drive through to the VM.
Did anyone suggest using black electrical tape yet?
Wow, this is an unusually long, high quality article from NBC news. I didn't realise they have a great investigative unit.
for example maybe AV1 takes even more off,
I know this was just an example, but Intel 11th gen and newer has hardware acceleration for AV1.
GPUs have their place, but they significantly increase power consumption, which is an issue in areas with high power prices.
If you want to self-host email or websites, I'd use a VPS for those use cases. For websites, a $30/year VPS would be more than sufficient. You can try host at home, but hosting those things from a residential IP doesn't always work well.
QuickSync is more than sufficient for most users. It can handle several concurrent 4K transcode. It's also not that common to have to transcode, unless you stream your media content when away from home a lot, and have poor upload speed.
If going Intel, there's different models of Intel iGPU, so I'd go for the lowest-end GPU that has the higher end iGPU. My home server is a few years old and has an Intel Core i5 13500. The difference between the 13400 and 13500 looks small on paper, but the 13400 only has UHD Graphics 730 while the 13500 had UHD Graphics 770 which can handle double the number of concurrent transcodes.
Intel iGPUs also support SR-IOV which lets you share one iGPU across multiple VMs. For example, if you have a Plex server on the host Linux system, and Blue Iris in a Windows Server VM, and both need to use hardware transcoding.
I've heard AMD's onboard graphics are pretty good these days, but I haven't tried AMD CPUs on a server.
You can share the node with them, and use an ACL to control which ports they have access to.
I couldn't find a "Home Networking" community, so this seemed like the best place to post :)
My house has this small closet in the hallway and thought it'd make a perfect place to put networking equipment. I got an electrician to install power outlets in it, ran some CAT6 myself (through the wall, down into the crawlspace, to several rooms), and now I finally have a proper networking setup that isn't just cables running across the floor.
The rack is a basic StarTech two-post rack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U14MO8/) and the shelving unit is an AmazonBasics one that ended up perfectly fitting the space (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W2X5Y8F/).
In the rack, from top to bottom (prices in US dollars):
- TP-Link ER8411 10Gbps router. My main complaint about it is that the eight 'RJ45' ports are all Gigabit, and there's only two 10Gbps ports (one SFP+ for WAN, and one SFP+ for LAN). It can definitely reach 10Gbps NAT throughput though. $350
- Wiitek SFP+ to RJ45 module for connecting Sonic's ONT (which only has an RJ45 port), and 10Gtek SFP+ DAC cable to connect router to switch.
- MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM managed switch (runs RouterOS). 12 x 10Gbps ports. I bought it online from Europe, so it ended up being ~$520 all-in, including shipping.
- Cable Matters 24-port keystone patch panel.
- TP-Link TL-SG1218MPE 16-port Gigabit PoE switch. 250 W PoE power budget. Used for security cameras - three cameras installed so far.
- Tripp Lite 14 outlet PDU.
Other stuff:
- AdTran 622v ONT provided by my internet provider (Sonic), mounted to the wall.
- HP ProDesk 600 G5 SFF PC with Core i5-9500. Using it for a home server running Home Assistant, Blue Iris, Node-RED, Zigbee2MQTT, and a few other things. Bought it off eBay for $200.
- Sonoff Zigbee dongle plugged in to the front USB port
- (next to the PC) Raspberry Pi 4B with SATA SSD plugged in to it. Not doing anything at the moment, as I migrated everything to the PC.
- (not pictured) Wireless access point is just a basic Netgear one I bought from Costco a few years ago. It's sitting on the top shelf. I'm going to replace it with a TP-Link Omada ceiling-mounted one once their wifi 7 access points have been released.

You can also avoid the cost of gas/petrol prices by using an electric vehicle. I pay $0 to fuel mine since I have solar panels.
