<p>You _can_ run other OSes on Macbooks. They're not locked in at all, it's simply that the drivers aren't open source and the hardware is undocumented, but with enough effort (e.g. Asahi) you can run technically anything on it.</p>

<p>I strongly disagree.<p>* The performance difference can be pretty massive depending on scenarios. Sure, most programs don't need it, but still
* Rust has not only memory safety but full safety around it. For instance, in Java if you iterate over a list while mutating it you'll get a runtime error. In Rust, it won't compile, preventing you from a possible bug later on
* The time you spend learning Rust is so much time saved afterwards because the language is specifically designed to reduce the risk of programming errors. Many things like the absence of a `null` value like we have in Java is an <i>immense</i> time saver when your program gets bigger</p>

<p>For the same price you have the Minisforum UM760 Slim which should be 100% compatible and provide VASTLY superior performances. Or you can check cheaper models that would have the same level of performance as the A5.<p>Geekom make nice products but they are usually both very expensive and very noisy compared to competitors. Their selling point is mainly their top-notch design, but I find these to be function-over-form most of the time.</p>

<p>Minisforum 790S7/795S7, mini-ITX desktop.<p>16 cores, 32 threads, only a bit less powerful than a desktop Ryzen 7950X or a 14900K, but with a comparatively low power usage.<p>About 500€ barebones, then you add your own SSD and SO-DIMM RAM.</p>

<p>The difference is between SDR and HDR.
Going full blast with a full image at 500 nits or having an image averaging 200 nits with only <i>peaks</i> at 500 are two vastly différence things.</p>

<p>That's normal. For HDR to look good, you need a monitor that hits approximately 1000 nits in brightness. Your monitor only hits 250, which is completely insufficient to display HDR content.<p>This is one of the stupid things with many monitors, showing HDR at 250 nits is worse than showing no HDR at all. So no matter what you do, 99% of HDR content will look bad on your screen.</p>

<p>Honestly, I self-host about a dozen services and upgrades take me less than a minute per month usually.<p>I simply have one folder per service, each folder contains a docker-compose stack and a storage directory. Updating is simply a matter of running `docker compose pull` and `docker compose up -d`. Nothing more.<p>Breaking updates requiring to tweak the config are very uncommon, and even when they happen it's only a few minutes of checking the updated config and applying it.<p>IMO this is the simplest way to self-host. No VM, no complex software install, nothing more than a simple Docker Compose setup that's fully automated.</p>
