Without raytracing benchmarks, turn off FSR and DLSS, it is not showing the full performance difference.

It looks good. I will be building a 14th Gen i3 system with 6 cores to use as a pfSense router.

Since money is a concern, look at buying AM4 with a higher priced B550 motherboard, 5800x3D processor, for RAM look at 3600Mhz, you can keep everything else.

That patform is end of life but will be a real jump in performance, more cores and more cache. You could then upgrade in 2 years to an X770 board, DDR5 will be much lower priced, and AM5 will be a lot more ironed out with better graphics built into processors.

Pine64 is an open hardware ARM chip. It can BSD, Linux, maybe Windows On ARM, I see no point in using it for Android, but you can run the Arm version of any BSD or Linux.

There is no Pine version like Pi, anything that works on ARM will run natively on Pine64.

I have only seen 2.5Gb on ATX boards, is it available on SoC? Does a Pine64 board work for you?

Are you not uo to building a PC to have lots of storage connections, 2.5Gb LAN, running TrueNAS?

Would a Pine64 board not work for you? The ROCKPro64?

I look for one that allows or protects offensive and insulting statement.

There is a very large difference between what is offensive and what is criminal.

Hate speech does not exist, people use that to silence different views, that is why there is no universally recognize definition of the term that all sides agree on.

Mastodon can be heavy on censorship by banning IP addresses rather than individual accounts. Not banning an account, but IP. So when one instance bans an IP, that means that IP is blocked from all users on that instance.

Twitter has never banned IP addresses, only accounts. Twitter does not keep a list of naughty words that result in immediate ban after posting, and suspended users can still reaxh Twitter to discuss the issue.

It seems that federated platforms are more ban happy than the corporate platforms. If Lemmy and Mastodon really want to challenge the bigger companies, protect offensive posts, protect mockery and insults, people challenging or correct someone’s statement, and distinguish them from actual attacks and degrading words.

Why is it written with collectivist speak? "…reminds us…? Who is the “us”? The collectivist phrasing is disturbing as opposed to using objective terms.

If you want to talk about anything to do with BSD, you can’t do it with a Linux mindset using Linux terminology if you don’t want to lead with your prejudices and ignorance as soon as you start talking.

As a first step starting point, there is no such think as a BSD distribution or “distro”. TrueNAS and pfSense are not and have never been a distribution.

I’m not going to give you all of the info or explain what they are, I’ll leave it at that for you to choose to dismiss it and stay ignorant or read and learn, expand your thinking, and stop crossing one operating system with a different operating system.

You can setup your own instance of hosting a Searx search engine once yo have a domain.

Are you asking for something like Searx?

For real true freedom I like the ISC license for giving away source code.

The constant argument about companies stealing source code is a cultural problem, not a license issue. Fix the social culture in society so people have ethical standards again, and companies will start to change their amoral behaviour. Not immoral, but amoral.

GPL are fanatics who are leeches off of other peoples work to build anything. I have wondered if that’s why GPLv3 people have never built an operating system like BSD engineers and designers, only a collection of parts from different designers and made them come together.

There is no operating system called GNU with a kernel and native format for installing software. There is no operating system called Linux with system libraries and a format to install software built into Liux natively.

It’s like Stallman built the body of a care and ever dealt with the engine. Linus built an engine but didn’t know how to do anything with an engine like engineer the rest of the body.

Each BSD is it’s own operating system with their own developers. A FreeBSD kernel can’t run OpenSD libraries.

With you adding my RAM, that’s exactly why I say 32GB of 4GB per core, to make sure everything runs while making sure not all hardware is being used so everything runs at max performance.

For example if an 8 core 32GB system is using 6 cores and 14GB, then all programs are running as they should be with ease. But if a 16GB system is using 14GB, there’s not enough memory and might already be starting to pagefile.

Why are GPL fanatics such Marxists?

I was going to say that I agree iPhones are smartphones are of no benefit, they don’t do anything, I’m being sarcastic, but looking closer at the list, how did they get it all so very wrong?

Don’t need 64 bit for more than 4GB? Every new computer should have 32GB and 64GB is not unreasonable.

Don’t need full HD? How does 8K resolution sound with 16K being developed?

I question their basic knowledge and experience with technological advancements for higher demand, more complicated work loads, and adcancements for security protections like 64 bit memory address randomization that can’t exist on 32 bit hardware.

Another part of it could be because people use Google search, search promotes Chrome for an optimal experience, they decide to try Chrome and end up sticking with Chrome.

Every and all apps can be faked if there’s no code verification to register, plus mass signup detection. For example 1,000 email registrations from name@me2.info, those are all fake.

A puzzle captcha combined with receiving an alphanumeric code verification seems to have a very high percentage of only real humans registering, that is if the company is not built on a scam from the very conception to get free investment money.

Yes, the 4-slot video card does cause concerns and problems. The bigger problem is the weight of it. If those cards get released they will have to come with something that pulls up the backend and side of it to take the strain of the weigh off of the PCI slot.

A card like that does not have the interest to make them worth selling with potentially 48GB. A full Titan version of a 4090 with all of the extras for working with production and studio software would suffice.
