I would worry about your bandwidth, network infrastructure, security and even electrical bill wayyy before your Linux choices.
Exposing your data and services are dangerous without domain knowledge. In terms of storage space and bandwidth, vps are wayy under charge. However, learning experience is also valuable. Have fun.
Reading how-tos(may be the source code too) are all you needed. No need to listen random stuff from some random YouTubers. Ppl can read that time. Books and magazines did exist.
Looks professional. I am always wondered if any video editor is client server based and/or api driven based.
For example, if the video editor can directly use tlmy server's disk io and gpu instead of my desktop one, so my desktop client is only for controlling. Non concurrent multi users across network would be awesome.
If we can build a simple video by using APIs then fine-tune the project by using video editor, that would also awesome.
Rust is not just beginner unfriendly, rust is also intermediate lvl unfriendly and very hard to read others' code.
But at the same time, I also like it....
Zim has plugins
Typical China products' experience. Its spec looks good. I was tempting to get one. We barely have choices in laptop smaller than 10 inch.
I think we actually have similar conclusion.
We do agree blender has been achieved a lot, but it's an unfair and uphill battle.
I never claimed blender has not been used by real studios. But the market share for blender is bad, ~3% according to my quick search. And it's probably not from big studios. If we love something, I think we also have to be unbiased, so we can improve it.
My point is that instead of blaming the blender team, we should cherish how much blender team has been achieved and offered in this harsh territory.
Good for you. Lucky guy/girl.
Good things for blender is the community is really strong and friendly. And lots of free high quality tutorials in YouTube and even in other streaming platform. Go donuts. We should cherish what the community have built and achieved.
Of course I took a look. I like pixelfed's comment feature, but it lacks other features from immich and photo prism. Pixelfed is also written from php. I don't know how many new developers will learn php and contribute to pixelfed. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I am more interested a self hosted Instagram solutions. I wish immich supports comments and emoji.
While I think some comments are true in general for other aspect of open source software zones, blender is a special case.
The target audience for blender are artists for movie, video and games. And these industries are very capital intensive and highly regulated by limited distributors. If you tell ppl you can only do blender instead of maya or other big names, it's like a programmer tells ppl he can only do perl. Good luck for finding a job. Just like programming industry without microservice architecture, if the whole team use one language, you have to use that. Just do a job search.
Game engine is similar. If you don't use unity or unreal. No aaa game for you. (Indie games are better in my personal opinion) So game assets made by blender is always second citizens.
Because of the above factors, third parties market place products' price are always low. It's good for buyers, but sucks for indie sellers. Compare the catalog between blender market place and daz3d's market place.
Universities will only teach products like maya instead of blender, just like java. Policy makers don't care about the best interest of students. Their policy is usually only outdated. Why java? They should only allow to use Nokia.
Unlike games, you can hardly try the indie route for movie. It's either go big or go die. When do you see a blender movie being shown in your local cinema?
blender is the only free less professional choice. The problem is their target audience is so broke.
What? You allow your prisoners sleep on an actual bed, keep their clothes on and manually feed them by human beings? How kind of you.
