J4025 is good, I actually bought this exact model last year for 75€ with 120GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Prices have went up since and I don't live in the Netherlands which can be expensive. So all in all not a bad deal I would say.

Honestly with 150€ you could get a second hand intel NUC which will have all the things you want. Of course this means x86_64 and not ARM but for jellyfin I would say it's a plus.

You know Nazis also despise the left and would do anything to put you in camps if they could. They are not allies. You are falling in the exact trap described by this article, trying to attract leftists on the few subjects they appear to have in common to make the Nazis appear normal or even allies.

Yes it looks like utf8 is a first-class citizen but really it is ASCII which is 100% supported. From the FAQ:

The OpenBSD base system fully supports the ASCII character set and encoding, and partially supports the UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode character set.

What? There is no hard g sound afaik.

Both. Maybe leaning a little bit more on sci-fi since they try to explain many things with science like kryptonite. But definitely also fantasy for X-Men, mutants have superpowers because the DNA does ... things.

France is making a large part of its own defense system (fighter jet, navy ships, etc.) and for it to be financially viable, sells some models to other countries. One very good client is Saudi Arabia. You will never hear criticism from this government against Saudis.

I explored the source of file(1) and the part to determine file types of text file seems to be in text.c: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/usr.bin/file/text.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/plain

And especially this part:

static int
text_try_test(const void *base, size_t size, int (*f)(u_char))
{
	const u_char	*data = base;
	size_t		 offset;

	for (offset = 0; offset < size; offset++) {
		if (!f(data[offset]))
			return (0);
	}
	return (1);
}

const char *
text_get_type(const void *base, size_t size)
{
	if (text_try_test(base, size, text_is_ascii))
		return ("ASCII");
	if (text_try_test(base, size, text_is_latin1))
		return ("ISO-8859");
	if (text_try_test(base, size, text_is_extended))
		return ("Non-ISO extended-ASCII");
	return (NULL);
}

So file(1) is not capable of saying if a file is UTF-8 right now. There is some other file (/etc/magic) which can help to determine if a text file is UTF-7 or UTF-8-EBCDIC because those need a BOM but as you said UTF-8 does not need a BOM. So it looks like we are stuck here :)

Yep I have the same result so most likely you didn't do anything wrong. My VPS on openbsd.amsterdam shows this and my laptop does too.

I think there is an argument to be made that if you want to develop a game, for example, for the PS5 you can rely hone your game to the PS5 hardware and it could be extremely stable. This is not possible for PCs because PCs do not have fixed hardware.

However I think this was true in the olden days of the SNES where games where not glitchy compared to DOS gaming where hardware compatibility was all over the place. You can see this on YouTube channels like LGR where finding a compatible sound card is a challenge.

But like you, I don't find that this is still true for modern PC gaming.

From the article:

The pass will also cover local bus, metro, and tram travel, “if possible,” Beaune said. The full details have not yet been finalised.

Of course, I'm not particularly confident that they will actually cover this but at least they are thinking about it.

To be frank, I'm amazed by this announcement. I take TER every weekend and a two-way trip is 108€, 54€ (-50%) if you get the yearly pass which costs 30€. This would save me so much money.

Yes it doesn't encompass TGV but with this 49€ ticket you can potentially get rid of many car commuters which is already a good thing :)
