@killyourfm indeed. if you want to edit straight from the NAS, i would recommend one with 10Gbit network port, and make sure devices connected to it do so using 10Gbit networking too. That way there's little chance you'll have any issues with it, it might even be faster than editing locally (although latency could be higher).

The tricky part is finding a good tradeoff of which RAID type to use, and the answer depends on how much you value performance vs security, and which NAS and filesystem.

@killyourfm USB-C is fine for all of those, even networked is completely fine. It all depends on the speed of the interfaces and cables. USB-C can be USB 2 speeds 480Mb/s, or it can be USB 4 speeds of 40Gbit/s.

@davep you also can't afford a nuclear power station or a wind turbine farm but you can power your house with wood burning stoves too. sure is some bias here, even if intentions may seem decent.

@wonka unfortunately to my knowledge this is impossible following current living standards. solar is not free renewable on a long enough timescale either, nor is nuclear. they're the better option I'd argue, but we shouldn't ignore their demand for destructive industrial mining and imports of rare earth metals and such, all so we can post hot takes on social medias like these.

@wonka there's a level of sustainably that may be possible, but if we are to stop entirely then the human race has to cease existing. but i do agree that current levels of consumption and industrial waste pose a great threat.

@wonka no, it shouldn't stop us going towards using those, but we should absolutely be mindful of the effects those have as well. long lasting and low polluting systems may well lead to lower consumption and thus an increase in sustainability, but this is not guaranteed without being mindful and enforcing regulations that make it so.

@wonka or to put it another way: solar panels only sound like a good idea if they can last 15+ years. if you have to replace them every other year due to low quality materials and planned obsolescence, then we might not be better off. there's a bigger picture that matters too, and it all needs to fit decently together to ensure we can ie. reduce CO2 emissions and also maintain a sustainable consumption.

@wonka i am not from the US, nor have i ever been. I'm not saying PV panels are becoming uneconomical in less than 15 years. I'm saying in order for them to be sustainable, we have to ensure they're regulated to KEEP them being sustainable, so we don't end up with them being made cheaply at the cost of sustainability. as with most things.

@killyourfm you COULD make videos that YOU want to, and only WHEN you want to. not everything has to be profit and growth driven.

@killyourfm unfortunately a lot of people who reviewed even the Steam Deck also didn't get it, even when they praised it.

@killyourfm if you take your time with it, it might stay even longer too

@killyourfm having those experiences is a great way to remind ourselves how good it feels to live out our daily lives. and to remind ourselves in our daily lives, how great the experiences out there can be too!

@killyourfm the main quest is the side quests we made along the way!

@killyourfm you should try comparing it to the Steam Deck gyro then, might be fun to see how different it is. They can both do this.

@killyourfm yet to come. we're inching ever closer to a formula that does what most people need. NixOS and Bazzite are two that in my opinion come the closest, but in their manner of doing so also have areas where their accessibility is even worse than others. I still believe that a system that can combine certain attributes of OSes like Bazzite, NixOS, and Windows XP (yes, the that one), is one that will properly supersede current market share monopoly of Windows.

@killyourfm that's nice, i don't have to read the article. they put the whole thing in their headline.

@killyourfm well it'll have at least 3 more good years in it I reckon. Probably more with how frequently I perform my upgrades and with the games I play and make!

I used to play games on Linux on my 2012 netbook too, but the Steam Deck sure has made the portable life much more enjoyable!

@killyourfm both, and include performance/watt and (optionally) performance/dollar.

@killyourfm but isn't using actual standard sized batteries better for both longevity and reduction of ewaste?

@killyourfm this is a really cool idea, but some games may be quite difficult to come by without spending enormous amounts of money these days.
