I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?
For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.
Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.
Just fyi - running TrueNAS with zfs as a VM under Proxmox is a recipe for disaster, as me how I know.
Zfs needs direct drive access, with VMs, the hypervisor virtualizes the adapter which is then passed through, which can mess things up.
What you’d need to do is buy a sata/sas card and pass the whole card through, then you can use a vm.
The issue is, you can optimize a software encoders continually, you can use tricks for better quality etc.
A hardware encoder is just that - hardware. As soon as it’s burned to the silicon, you’re not making any (at least substantial) changes to it. You might also be limited by what you can actually do directly in hardware without using too much die space.
Tldr.: no, you won’t get the same result
It’s pretty important career-wise, suggest this video if you’re interested.
I, too, have a profile on LinkedIn, doesn’t mean I use it more often than once a month or something, just to check up on notifications
Yes, it’ll be uploaded elsewhere. That’s the whole point.
Discord doesn’t want to host any of this data, they don’t want to be connected to criminal activity. It makes sense.
Also, while it might slightly lower their storage costs (if the hackers move elsewhere), if you send a file to someone, it’ll still stay on Discord’s servers. Only difference is the link to said file - it’ll only be valid for a day, and then you’ll have to use a new one (in a way that’s probably transparent to the user)
Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.
You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.
