Microservice architecture was really a means to an end and not the goal itself.

When you have large teams of developers, you simply have to start divide things up into smaller chunks - one way or the other. If you think about the practical problems of trying to maintain and develop a big piece of software while it's running 24/7 with zero interruptions, it's hard to imagine any other way of doing it.

If you don't have those constraints, then using that type of architecture doesn't make as much sense.

Your choice of camera can also affects performance a lot due to format. Some formats are very slow to edit and requires ingestion and re-encoding for decent editing performance.

I do everything in a mix of h.264 and h.265

Why would you export anything in h.264 today? Or do you mean your device actually natively records to h.265?

The devices. I try to use h.265 whenever I get the choice.

This is not a good choice. You want to edit in a format that is easy to decode and H.265 is not. So to be able to edit you either have to re-encode your H.265 video clips into another format (aka transcoding) suitable for your editor or suffer much slower editing performance.

If you shoot in H264 you can probably edit it directly without much impact. The editing software will re-encode it on the fly.

H.265 is a delivery format.

I think you might need to do some more research on this. Can the software you use do GPU offloading? It might affect your choice of GPU then. It might also be a reason to actually pick Intel over AMD (CPU offloading for encoding). Your choice of camera can also affects performance a lot due to format. Some formats are very slow to edit and requires ingestion and re-encoding for decent editing performance. I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest and don't know what camera you will be using, what format, bit rate, bit depth etc. But I would makes sure to use a hardware/software combination that can do GPU/CPU offloading if possible and is suitable for the formats you need to work in. Anyway, camera, editor and hardware need to be considered as a system.

I'd go for a bluetooth headset that works with both computers, smartphones and deskphones (with BT).
We use Plantronics Voyager Legend. Has a very good noise cancelling mic and decent battery life (7 hours of talk). Can connect to two devices at the same time.

A bug in Joe Biden’s campaign app gave anyone access to millions of voter files

A privacy bug in Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s official campaign app allowed anyone to look up sensitive voter information on millions of Americans, a security researcher has found.

The campaign app, Vote Joe, allows Biden supporters to encourage friends and family members to vote in the upcoming U.S. presidential election by uploading their phone’s contact lists to see if their friends and family members are registered to vote. The app uploads and matches the user’s contacts with voter data supplied from TargetSmart, a political marketing firm that claims to have files on more than 191 million Americans.

I just can't imagine using a RP4 for a desktop. Seems like you would spend too much time waiting for things to load and get frustrated. I have spent some time on the one my son has. No way I could do it. Not saying it isn't possible. Just not for me. Do you deploy RP4 for "power users"?

Also, does the micro SD wear out faster from continued read/writes?

I have an RPI4 4GB and it's way to slow for me as well. I revisited a couple of weeks ago and put the latest Raspberry Pi OS on it. For kids and casual users it's workable.

The biggest problem for me though is that you can't get the full linux experience on it. It wont run regular ARM OS like debian, ubuntu, you name it. It needs custom compiled kernels, binary blobs and special tweaks.

Any idea how much I should charge the client being that I have 0 experience setting up Wordpress?

New employee started yesterday. Her new desk with Fedora and a Fanvil X4U

What Desktop Environment is that?
Besides what comes with Fedora, what other additional software do you normally install for new hires?

Looks like Cinnamon

Oh! So that’s what Cinnamon looks like without that Linux Mint Cinnamon flavor?

Yup

No raspberry pi this time around?

Maybe just use wordpress.com? I think it's free.
