stevestevesteve,

“Chun Li - Fortnight” makes me sad. Chun Li is from Street fighter.

It’s like if they said “Pikachu - Super Smash Bros” instead of Pokemon or something, or Samus - Super Smash Bros

stevestevesteve,

What a very weirdly phrased statement

stevestevesteve,

Reading this makes me want to try gentoo again…

stevestevesteve,

Interesting vibe - hit me up in 2025 when it’s out

stevestevesteve,

I’m curious why they were giving them away, nice score!

stevestevesteve,

They mean take your cell phone/tablet/laptop and walk to another room so you get stronger WiFi, not change your address, as can be seen by the context in the next statement “or try with a wired connection”

stevestevesteve,

Budget is always a factor, but here’s mine so far…

Looking at a discovery flight for someone who’s expressed some interest in flying, a limited art print from someone’s favorite artist, potentially an inflatable stand up paddle board, and a 360 degree camera for others. Still a lot of searching to do but hopefully these can spark some ideas for others too

stevestevesteve,

That’s true - And with a halfway decent thermal camera, you can see most of these unused chargers as “hot” spots. They’re so low power that they’re only slightly above ambient, but still something the cameras can see.

stevestevesteve,

I’m not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it’s done…

Is “eat the rich” not a death threat in its own right?

stevestevesteve,

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

stevestevesteve,

It is neither amperes per hour nor watts per hour. Those imply division (1 watt, over two hours, would be 1/2 a watt per hour. Useless as a unit for most of us). Ah and Wh are amps or watts multiplied by hours, pronounced as amp-hours or watt-hours (1 watt, for 2 hours, would be 2 watt-hours)

stevestevesteve,

Anything besides parts and manuals.

Requirements for devices to be feasibly repairable in the first place. A phone that’s effectively a brick of glue is still unrepairable regardless of whether you can buy overpriced parts for it.

If the enforcement mechanism for “fair” pricing is for the general public to file a lawsuit, I can guarantee that pricing isn’t going to be very reasonable.

Apple devices are notoriously hard to repair not just because they don’t provide a $50,000 diagnostic kit and overpriced parts, they’re hard to repair because they’re designed to be disposable. This bill does absolutely nothing to change that, which is probably why Apple supported it. Good PR with completely avoidable consequences for them

stevestevesteve,

Does anything even use thunderbolt 4’s bandwidth? About the only thing I’ve seen is external GPUs and even that is a ludicrously niche use case.

I’d be much more excited about a post about something using TB4 to its fullest. All I can think reading this title is “who cares?” Is someone going to make a reasonably priced and even remotely convenient 40gbps ethernet card for TB5? No. Do my NVME drives go past 40gbps? Generally not, but I could’ve seen use for fast drives plugged into tb4/5 at least. Is anyone using TB4/5 for datacenter interconnects where this speed would actually be useful? I doubt it.

Does anyone reading this post use tb4 on a daily basis and feel limited in any way?

stevestevesteve,

Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

Even with cameras, the storage generally isn’t that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you’re recording to a USBC device you’re probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you’re offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they’re actually limited by 40gbps and I’m kinda just bitching at this point

stevestevesteve,

As someone who also has 15+ years of experience in the field and is currently infosec management, it’s not that bad. Certainly not something I’d say “you’re in for a world of hurt” about like somebody just bought a bad timeshare.

Especially if you’re not hosting production email for a company and you’re not leaving the server as an open relay, it isn’t very painful at all.

You could also be less condescending, but as you said: your call. :)

stevestevesteve,

All of that is inherent in self hosting anything publicly accessible. You wouldn’t start off a reply to someone setting up openvpn with “you’re in for a world of hurt,” would you?

Firmware developers needed: A new kind of synth with strum pad, algorithmic just intonation. (sh.itjust.works)

Hello all! My name’s Evan, and I’m starting development on an idea I had a few years ago. The Synharmonium is (going to be) a microcontroller-based synthesizer with control elements based on the accordion and the Suzuki Omnichord, and an algorithm to solve the centuries old musical problem of versatile just intonation. Best...

stevestevesteve,

I love the idea but I’m not sure how you’d choose which scale to use in real-time. I’ll be interested to see how it comes along

stevestevesteve,

Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don’t have any interest in, same as sfw content.

stevestevesteve,

Think they’re referring to the blahaj/ada dramalord stuff with lemmynsfw.

stevestevesteve,

Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

  • Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
  • surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
  • I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
  • Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
  • There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)
stevestevesteve,

Shinobi would absolutely do that if that’s all you want it to do. It’s definitely not a one-click setup either, though, unfortunately.

stevestevesteve,

Shinobi is absolutely not closed source: gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi

stevestevesteve,

I’m a huge supporter of open source, so Plex being closed alone makes it gross to me. Very little about Plex felt selfhosted.

I also like to tinker a lot and jellyfin lets me screw around with much more under the hood - precise encoding settings, dlna customizations, I’m sure there’s more but the primary driver was ideology. I’m not giving my money to some company that’s primarily developing features I don’t want so that I can use my own media to the fullest.

I’ve had very little issue with hardware accelerated encoding, but I already had the right drivers installed and on unix OSes that’s probably the hardest part
