thejevans,

This is my plan as well. I’ll miss some of the discovery aspect of youtube, but it’ll be nice to have a way to continue watching the channels I enjoy

Use pcpartpicker.com to build your system to help with compatibility.

Right now you either want a Ryzen 5800X3D or 7800X3D CPU depending on your budget.

For the 5800X3D, you’ll want a DDR4 3600MHz dual channel kit for best RAM performance unless you want to overclock the infinity fabric. For the 7800X3D, 6000MHz DDR5. For either, you’ll want a set of two sticks, not four. There are more specs for RAM that you can dig into and tune, but getting a kit with good reviews for a good price at these clock speeds will be enough.

For CPU cooler, the Noctua NHD15 is pretty much the best.

For SSDs, if your budget and motherboard allows it, get a PCIe gen 5 NVMe drive, but a PCIe gen 4 drive will probably be fast enough. Go with Samsung, if you can.

For power supply, get something with good reviews with 80+ Platinum or Titanium that can handle your load, and you’ll probably be solid.

For GPU, go with a 7900XT or 6950XT if you can find one substantially cheaper.

For motherboard, if you go with the 5800X3D, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming motherboard is $110 on Amazon right now, and when I got it a couple months ago, the version I got had a recent enough bios revision to “just work” with the 5800X3D, so you shouldn’t need an older CPU to update it like you used to. At this price, this board is a steal. For the 7800X3D, get something with good reviews that you can afford.

EDIT: I would build something close to this: pcpartpicker.com/list/yyPLFs

thejevans,

That’s fair. I think for most people, they’re a decent enough heuristic in that the higher certifications tend to correlate with good enough PSUs.

thejevans,

I would argue that as a proportion of the total build cost, the difference in cost between air coolers is fairly negligible, and as one of the few moving parts in the build, the reliability of the fan on the cooler should be a priority. I don’t think a single other manufacturer has a demonstrated record of fan reliability and longevity that comes close to Noctua.

This is definitely shitty.

Related: JerryRigEverything just came out with a video about this and titled “I got robbed” and called it theft a bunch of times. This is copyright infringement, maybe trademark infringement, but not “theft” or “robbery”. No property or money was taken from any party such that they no longer have access to it. It’s important to be accurate about this.

Edit:

Here is a list of all the media I’ve found surrounding this that falsely claims stealing, theft or robbery:

thejevans,

“Intellectual property” as a concept is designed to trick people into thinking copyright, trademark, and patent infringement are equivalent to theft. It’s an incorrect and pernicious use of the word “theft”.

thejevans,

Intellectual property is an umbrella term for copyright, patents, and trademarks used to make it sound like “property” is “stolen” when licensing agreements are violated.

thejevans,

The idea that it shares the same features as anything else we consider “property” is the problem, so why call it property? The only thing that one can “own” in this regime is the license itself, and that doesn’t go away just because someone violates its terms.

Advice for channel using GPT-4-Turbo for scientific paper summaries? (m.youtube.com)

So I’ve been working on an implementation of GPT-4-Turbo that’s designed to ingress entire papers into its context window and process them into summaries that would be understandable by someone with a highschool education (originally went for 8th grade max, but that led to rather patronizing results lol). The machine tells...

thejevans,

Do you have a transcript, so I don’t have to watch a video to look for errors?

As an author on a few papers, I think this is not a place where LLMs will really shine. They may be fine to use by a subject matter expert for a first pass, but would likely produce inaccurate statements. Scientific papers have very specific and niche language, with lots of numbers attached. LLMs are not trained to handle this kind of a situation well.

thejevans,

Constant connection to servers required to play, even if the entire game is being run locally.

thejevans,

Uh, no it’s not LOL. Not even a little.

I believe their point here was that your claim that “open source” is self explanatory is wrong. You’ve imprinted your definition onto it and called it “common sense” without thinking further about how how nebulous it is without extra context. This is then driven home by your lack of understanding on the AA discussion.

thejevans,

Transitioning from owning and using you own car to using a taxi service with an app solves parking issues and pretty much nothing else. Fuck Uber.

thejevans,

I know it’s not ideal, but a bar chart design could either focus on the difference over time for each source, or the difference between sources at each time. This plot gives a good representation of both the differences between sources and the change in time for each source. It really drives home how far solar prices have fallen relative to other sources and in absolute terms.

thejevans,

Yeah, solar + wind + highly connected grids can go a long way to balance loads and make up for the intermittent nature of wind and solar.

thejevans,

This is a great way to host matrix with bridges github.com/…/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

thejevans,

Always online single-player is the dumbest thing. It’s disgusting.

thejevans,

I use a 2013 macbook air for almost this exact use case. Ask friends and family if they have any old laptops lying around.

thejevans,

Sorry, he wrote all these? Or did he just own lots of stock in a company that hired engineers who made these things?

    thejevans,

    Discord is fine right now, but at any point it can decide to destroy what makes it good, and many communities will stick with it through inertia. I’d recommend setting up matrix with a discord bridge for the communities you don’t have control over, while trying to convince admins to switch to matrix when you can. Having a matrix account/server will also be helpful if you decide to join one of the many foss projects that uses matrix for their communications.

    thejevans,

    I have a pair. They’re really cool, but I haven’t found a use case for them. They’re open-back, so I can’t use them when I’m working in public spaces. They require their own USB DAC/AMP, so I can’t use them in my analog chain at either my desktop or home theater. And the DAC/AMP requires too much power to use them with my phone, so I can’t use them while walking around. The only time I use them is when I’m working from home and for some reason I want to use my laptop in bed or in the living room instead of my desktop, which is rare.

    thejevans,

    If you’re new to 3D printing, this is not a good first project. Buy the kit from them. It will be cheaper to do that then to buy each necessary component in bulk and make everything from scratch.

    thejevans,

    This has a lot of tight tolerances and lots of little things that have to go just right. Start with simple projects like brackets for things or raspberry pi enclosures. Look at printables.com or one of the other sites for inspiration.

    thejevans,

    everything from rearranging the keys (for instance I use vim, so I swap esc and capslock), to changing tap and hold behaviors (my capslock key does esc on tap and ctrl on hold), to really elaborate stuff like tap dances (thomasbaart.nl/2018/12/13/qmk-basics-tap-dance/), all while being configured directly on the firmware of the keyboard, so it just works no matter what computer it’s plugged into, and it doesn’t have any weirdness that comes with software remapping tools.

    thejevans,

    I don’t understand why people are calling grayjay a “better revanced” they have pretty different feature sets and solve different problems.

    thejevans,

    Grayjay does not have sponsorblock. Grayjay does not sync my subscriptions across my other devices. Grayjay will not have YouTube features as they roll out. Etc.

    Grayjay is basically newpipe (youtube scraper) + casting + centralized, unmoderated comments + other services.

    YouTube Revanced is a patched, debloated version of YouTube itself.

    Grayjay does a lot of cool stuff, but they are different tools for different problems. Youtube Revanced allows users to have a better Youtube experience on their phone without losing any functionality. Grayjay is asking users to change a lot about how they watch Youtube.

    YouTube with recommendations based on what you watch and subscriptions

    I’ve been using Invidious and NewPipe to watch YouTube for a long time. I don’t use an account with either of these. However, I’m wanting to get recommendations based on what I watch and my subscriptions. LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works. When I try to watch videos it won’t play. YouTube Vanced is dead....

    thejevans,

    And SmartTubeNext for Android TV

    thejevans,

    Its just showing you youtube recommendations, I think

    thejevans,

    LG uses WebOS, not Android TV. Get an external Android TV system like an Nvidia Shield.

    thejevans,

    I’ve had my TP-Link Omada server go down and I still had WiFi. I would guess that auto AP roaming might not function correctly, but I’m not sure.

    I use TP-Link AXE5400 Pros. They’re a pretty great bang for the buck. The only downsides are that they don’t allow for separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSIDs, and they aren’t PoE powered.

    First Real Self Host Setup question

    So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I’m looking to move to something more hefty. I’ll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I’m wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos,...

    thejevans,

    I’d recommend that you use other services for comics, ebooks, and audiobooks instead of preferring a monolithic service to handle everything. Calibre, Calibre Web, and Audiobookshelf are great places to start.

    thejevans,

    Yeah, that just leaves the door open for enshittification. “Trust me bro” vibes. This license needs a better Ulysses pact.

    thejevans,

    I saw the video. There has to be a way to accomplish that without leaving the possibility of retroactively changing the license in the future.

    Thankfully, the plugins that I’ve looked at are released with an open source license.

    I know I will not be putting effort into porting my subscriptions over as long as the license allows them to fuck users over if company ownership changes its mind or if it gets sold.

    It seems cool, but even the documentation is locked away behind a link that requires authentication, so it’s going to be annoying for anyone to try to make a plugin. I want to make a youtube plugin with sponsorblock, so I reached out to ask how to access the documentation basically when Louis’s video went live and have yet to hear a response.

    Also, polycentric is going to need some form of moderation because, as it stands, it’s chock full of racial slurs and other awful stuff.

    thejevans,

    A lot of services that I run on my Proxmox host are far easier to set up and maintain as a docker container because that’s just how the developer packages them. Proxmox says that Docker in an LXC is no-no, so to reduce the maintenance overhead and to stick to supported builds, I use a bunch of VMs with many running Docker. Jellyfin has install instructions to run directly on Debian, and that works for me, but don’t be afraid to run Docker on a Proxmox VM if it will make your life easier.

    thejevans,

    Got a repository link I can follow!?

    thejevans,

    Thanks!

    thejevans,

    Injury danger in a crash is roughly proportional to mass as well, and a car is going to be 20x heavier than a bike or more. A fast bike can be a problem, but not nearly as much as a car.

    thejevans,

    Another great example of why proprietary connectors are stupid as hell. I’m going to be upset when my 2DS XL charger breaks and I can’t get an easy replacement.

    thejevans,

    They are for now

    thejevans,

    Then they could have released an open standard instead of creating a proprietary connector.

    thejevans,

    I am asking for specifications to be released without patents or have patents signed over to an organization like VESA. Whether it becomes popular or not is another story.

    thejevans,

    This reminds me of the solar roads stuff from about a decade ago. The blindspots on this project are huge, but the difference between this and the solar roads: the solar roads thing was a Kickstarter with a big marketing campaign, and this looks like a media organization is overplaying a small project, like the recent Verge article about that one dude’s cyberdeck project.

    Battlebit Remastered: Inconsistent Performance on Linux (GPU Utilization Issues)

    Hi all, I am running Batttlebit on my Linux machine and for the most part performance is good (127v127 = 180fps average). However after I installed MangoHUD to measure some KPIs (like GPU utilization) I realized that the game is barely using all available resources. My GPU (RX 5700 XT) is running at around 70% and its definitly...

    thejevans,

    Have they switched their servers to FaceIt yet? They said they’ll have a version that will work on Linux, but I remain skeptical until it’s implemented.

    thejevans,

    You wou^l^dn’t dow^n^loa^d^ a car

    thejevans,

    I understand both frustrations. I still run HA, and with a few addons, namely VSCode, ESPHome, and Node Red, it’s a very serviceable solution, and I don’t think anything else comes close. The config is still YAML for the most part, but you do have to go through a lot of GUI to get to edit the individual elements. That’s for sure not as nice, but I wouldn’t want to set up my complicated home theater automation on any other system. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/4adf5e71-91bd-42a7-bffe-716e29ba7887.png

    thejevans,

    That may be true, but the daughterboards were going to be under $40
