ENEMY STAND: ORGAN DISLOCATOR

Intel a310 is the best $/perf transcoding card, but if P40 supports nvenc, it might work for both transcode and stable diffusion.

SteamOS is immutable, you always get the same update no matter what you were running before. I think the only files that can get out of sync are in your home folder.

Bluesky has opt-in federation with the fediverse: https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/05/bluesky-and-mastodon-users-can-now-talk-to-each-other-with-bridgy-fed/

overclock.net lives on

It’s implied that it was a decision by management. If I had to guess, it’s related to money and/or the redundancy cause by the same parent company owning both Tom’s Hardware and Anandtech.

Kind of unfortunate, since I always thought Anandtech had the better articles, but I guess this also preserves Anandtech’s legacy in some ways.

Yeah this is definitely a brand merger in some ways.

I imagine it might be due to profitability, too. I think the rate of articles has slowed down in the last 5 years, and I think losing Ian Cutress’s analysis was also tough for their articles.

It feels like a lot of the hardware journalism these days has moved to YouTube, like Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, TechTechPotato, Moore’s Law Is Dead, etc.

I think Chips and Cheese seems to be the biggest site for detailed hardware analysis these days.

Don’t jump to the complex right away

It’s more complex to have 10 different ways to do the same thing. Like, just take a week to teach your ops team how to use Docker and Kubernetes, so everything can simplified to just one Kubernetes cluster instead of 20 bespoke EC2 instances.

Cloud Native development isn’t about making systems unnecessarily complex. It’s about simplifying tools down to common, scalable components, and reusing code as often as possible.

For example We use kubernetes to run code, because kubernetes is the only platform to run code that can be automated with simple HTTP apis. It is a common platform for computing, much simpler to use than the mess of EC2 instances, cron jobs, and shell scripts that the industry used to rely on. Of course, it is a higher level abstraction than programming everything yourself in Assembly, but that’s the point.

It’s a safety issue

Yeah, that’s true. But if we consider “the Fediverse” to mean “internet forums that support Activity Pub”, then Mastodon is unforenot the biggest pleyer on the Fediverse in terms of user count, public impact, and funding.

Of course, Threads can go fuck themselves. Open source communities have no obligation to play megacorps’ games.

Oh, you might have one of the newer ones that use interferometry to detect soulless entities.

Oh neat! I just tried it, and it seems it’s broken on Gnome when using 125% scaling though :/ Still cool to have the feature!

I also just figured out how to expose dark mode and my timezone though with RFP, which is useful.

I dont know what argument you’re trying to make, or what you think I’m saying, but I don’t appreciate you saying I have brain worms. Fuck off.

Yes. This is how motion detectors work. Normally, motion detectors have an IR emitter that acts as a particle, but when someone walks by, the IR emitter works as a wave, triggering the motion detector.

Notably, this doesn’t work with dogs, as they have no souls.

As much as fediverse development is centered on Mastodon and lemmy, and as much as I want them to succeed, Threads is bigger than both of them combined. FB used their monopoly to leapfrog the rest of the Fediverse here.

Librewolf has Resist Fingerprinting which comes pretty far.

Every Librewolf browser uses the same windows user agent, etc. But there are downsides, like time zones don’t work, and sites don’t use dark mode by default.

And even then, EFF’s Cover Your Tracks site can still uniquely identify me, mainly through window size. That’s one of the reasons why Tor Browser uses letterboxing to make the window size consistent.

Linux was already faster

Assange is free. Also, many of these are not like the others. Snowden and Assange are (mostly) genuine whistleblowers, while the others are just gangsters.

IP68 didn’t exist when the galaxy S5 came out. The fairphone has a replaceable screen and is made by a tiny company that doesn’t have the budget for full waterproof testing. Often phones will have waterproofing but will not spend the money for the expensive testing for certification, see: Pocophone, etc.
