    Can’t speak for everyone but here are the reasons I prefer an actual jack:

    • 3.5mm headphones are extremely universal and can be used for any audio device. USB-C and Bluetooth headphones cannot

    • Bluetooth is extremely inconsistent when paired with multiple devices and often gets disconnected because of competing devices

    • I can’t charge my phone and listen to USB c headphones at the same time

    • Manufacturers claim the removal of the jack was to improve the water resistance. I have never dropped my phone in water and would be willing to risk it.

    • I already have too many wireless things to charge

    • I have a small stockpile of broken wireless headphones. Meanwhile my 10 year old wired headphones are collecting dust

    • I have never lost something more often than that tiny ass USB to 3.5mm dongle adapter

    • I distrust large corporations with incentive to get consumers to buy more stuff from them






  • Not a proxmox pro by any means, but it can do both VMs and containers. I have a few VMs for various Linux distros to play around with. I also have one dedicated VM for all my security related tools.

    Stuff like PI hole, jellyfin, logstash, etc. dont really have any need for a full OS, so a container works perfectly. Plus having a full OS with several things running on it makes it more difficult if you just need to restart one service

    I started doing everything in VMs but over time realized some things were better to maintain as containers
