[wheat plume]

trying to cram everything into a thin bezel is pretty neat

[ashen spindle]

hows the shape of the motherboard related to the bezel size?

[wheat plume]

no no
the motherboard is going around the camera assembly like a bezel goes around a screen

like the edges of a square

[reef patrol]

That's neat

[surreal thorn]

Poland mentioned

[rough patrol]

what the fuck lmfaooo

that's really cool

[frozen ingot]

I mean its neat, but not that amazing, most motherboards in compact electronics end up with weird shapes to make use of every nanometer of space inside

[analog sinew]

phone motherboards are funky yea

[tribal dirge]

That's pretty goofy to look at

But I guess that's to accommodate for the massive camera system

Which makes sense

Although I'd argue the iPhone air mainboard is crazier

[ashen spindle]

https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag oh boy more linux vulnerabilities now that copy fail opened the category

[halcyon moss]

Bad on shared systems, but otherwise very hard to use

[ashen spindle]

A patch for this vulnerability does not exist upstream

yeah

but with more of these appearing its just a matter of time for a non shared system one to appear too I'd guess

[halcyon moss]

Also that's not a responsible disclosure

[ashen spindle]

In other words, the effective lifetime of the vulnerabilities is about 9 years.
and its also not something a rollback coudl easily fix

[halcyon moss]

Ah there was a responsible disclosure https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag/blob/master/assets/write-up.md#disclosure-timeline

Well.. An attempt at leasr

[umbral heron]

[crimson wigeon]

Neat

[umbral heron]

So I guess next week patch round number two, 1300 servers, woohoo

[fair gull]

first of all... would you give me ssh access over there pretty please

[lapis plaza]

Do you think all these bugs they are finding

Could they find them with this mythos AI?

[ashen spindle]

no

[crimson wigeon]

Perhaps

[ashen spindle]

well, with the help of guiding it towards it, after already finding copy fail, sure

but thats mostly just doing the same thing as someone looking into a new vulnerability class manually

nothing points towards this being a PoC that some llm model could find as a new approach

but also, monkey typewriter Shakespeare meme

[iron wave]

This one was plain old "let me look for this bug elsewhere".

[umbral heron]

So looks like the "leaker" reconstructed bug based on mail with patch from Linux mailing list

[karmic rock]

Best mouse is the mouse with the shape for you

For me it is the viper shape

But I guess similar mouse with the same shape would work for me too

Im quite sure its a case if you are using an add blocker, when I was at my sisters house I also noticed that youtube on TV using an official app seem to load videos way better and buffer more than a pc

[reef patrol]

Naw. It's the case of "video not watched by thousands, put it in low priority queue"

I'd honestly download it instead, if I knew I had to pause it constantly.

Mark Gurman (@markgurman)

I would pay careful attention to the language in this story, which does not say there is a signed agreement in place to produce, but rather the two sides are in discussions and Apple is still concerned about Intel’s technology. Will it happen? Probably. But it’s still early.

QRT: markgurman
NEW: Apple has held exploratory discussions about using Intel and Samsung to produce the main processors for its devices, a move that would offer a secondary option beyond longtime partner TSMC. I don't expect anything imminent. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-05/apple-explores-using-intel-and-samsung-to-build-main-device-chips-in-the-us?srnd=undefined&embedded-checkout=true

[marsh pendant]

[muted oxide]

Is this a place where I can discuss technical issues with Wooting officials?

[marsh pendant]

I just mounted and hooked up an old TV I wasnt using to my pc for a third monitor. Its 1080p and released in 2010 (46" if it matters). for the most part the picture looks great, at least for 1080p. But I discovered that sometimes when I launch a game, or even try to full screen a small vid (such as dragging a window and fullscreening the video without maximizing the window) it will glitch the pixels on the screen to be very blurry. First image attached is TV, second is monitor. It's like every other pixel is missing? The leading egde of my cursor is white and moving it along the screen makes it flash. The easiest way I have found to fix it is by changing the display scaling in nvidia app

[leaden kiln]

this is a community server

[halcyon moss]

Be sure to turn of overscan, or tv mode. That tends to cut off a few pixels on the edges

Usually on the TV itself

[marsh pendant]

idk if this tv has that, ive been all through the settings

[crimson wigeon]

Also make sure you use progressive scan, not interlaced. TVs love defaulting to interlacing. Usually a refresh rate thing (so avoid the refresh rates that mention being interlaced)

[fair gull]

also make sure it doesnt have any own smoothing/aliasing stuff. not uncommon for TVs as they arent made for pc use

[smoky parrot]

Yeah

My old tv had like sharpening and shit

[craggy harness]

isn't sharpening literally a default feature for literally any kind of TV? i at least remember even our tube tv we had like 25 years ago already came with that

Fools@Night - talking about the Windows laptop he edits video on

[modern sky]

I've just learned today that you can disable the animations on windows 11 and my experience is way smoother now

for some reason, the animations were just, bad xD

now my system feels snappy

scrolling is bad tho, at least on yt

nvm was just my browser settings

[tribal dirge]

disabled hardware accel?

[modern sky]

no apparently zen doesnt smooth scroll by default and disabling this setting makes it so you dont have smooth scroll in apps unless enabled

[crimson wigeon]

Smooth scrolling in browsers is rarely a good experience for me, I always turn that shit off

[modern sky]

for me it depends on pcs at work i turn it off beacause it just looks awful

on my setup right now its fine

[tribal dirge]

On MacOS smooth scrolling is nice

Anyone got advice for laptops? I was thinking of buying one for my workstation

[tribal dirge]

what are ya looking to do with your laptop?

also, budget?

[bright briar]

nothing crazy

tbh

[tribal dirge]

like gimme a specific example

[bright briar]

wont be doing video editing and etc

[bright briar]

i guess programming would be an example

python,java etc

[tribal dirge]

honestly, Macbook Pro 14 is really good

great display, great build, great battery.

[bright briar]

yeah i was thinking about macbook air cuz its like 1k

but i havent used macos in a while

[tribal dirge]

I have a base model M5 and its been great

[tribal dirge]

its way better than windows

[bright briar]

honestly what isnt better than windows in this day in age

[tribal dirge]

lmao fr

but yeah for programming you cant really go wrong with a macbook

[bright briar]

only reason i was thinking of getting a windows laptop was to eventually to replace the Microsoft os with linux

has the macbook airs always been 1.4k before tax? Stg it use to be like 1.1k cad

[tribal dirge]

fair, just be careful becuase some laptops dont really play nice with linux

[tribal dirge]

15 or 13?

[empty wren]

Macos runs on certain hardware even more locked down now and Linux distros are fragmented.

[bright briar]

guessing these are the newer ones?

[bright briar]

you talking about screen size or models

[tribal dirge]

hmm? Apple silicon is great

[tribal dirge]

wait is that cad or usd?

[empty wren]

Only because apple has matured it that way and they control software

[bright briar]

cad

[tribal dirge]

okok I was confuzzles

I guess its 1499 yeah

[empty wren]

Without the iPhones I doubt it would have been as good

[tribal dirge]

for the 13 inch

dw i get confused too looking at those prices

https://tenor.com/view/cortisol-level-gif-2410901269072201082

[tribal dirge]

nah I think mac can stand on its own

[empty wren]

Well I mean apple started designing their own chips back to iphone

They put them in the iPods and ipads

Apple watch

Then they could hold back even less

[tribal dirge]

no ipods used some samsung chip iirc

they didnt use custom silicon until like iPhone 4S

[empty wren]

Alright then

[bright briar]

i see they made a new model the neo

[empty wren]

Not disagreeing there also. Just that apple has had a long time to understand arm and how to optimize for it.

[bright briar]

but looks ugly

[empty wren]

Like resident evil is available on iPhones seems like a fever dream

[tribal dirge]

I wouldnt get it unless you are only doing web browsing

[bright briar]

funny I remember how apple would charge customers crazy prices for adding more storage and ram and now it looks reasonable 😭

[bright briar]

i wont be getting it but ty for the advice

apparently you can get different displays now

Im slow at handwriting and it still look terrible

[marsh glade]

My handwriting was so poor that for about a year, my parents forced me to write a full page of text every day after school. If it wasn't neat enough for their liking, I'd have to write another page.

[frozen ingot]

I have an excuse, am a leftie

[marsh glade]

I absolutely hated that, and it had no measurable impact on my handwriting whatsoever

[frozen ingot]

well practice makes perfect, but if its under cohersion I don't think it'll be very effective

then your brain kinda not wants to learn it by spite instead

[marsh glade]

Their assumption was that by forcing repetition of the required motor skills, they could improve it. They were wrong.

[reef patrol]

School taught us cursive, and a "straight" variant with the unbroken letters. I couldn't do cursive. My brain kept straitening it up 😄

[wheat plume]

nah, being a leftie just means your writing gets smuged from your hand sliding as you write on the right side page as well as being already awful looking

who would win: adobe or a single autoit3 script

who could've guessed, its an unboxing video about using the controller in vr with basically no direct comparison to just using any other controller in vr

so the whole video tells you nothing for that usecase

[fair gull]

"the real hero behind this is the steam input" so... any other controller also does the trick then

[ashen spindle]

yeah I havent really played any game in vr where I could've used a controller, racing game aside so was wondering maybe theres a good usecase, but theres nothing shown besides generic mod that seems to just work with any controller so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen spindle]

im confused so are you playing gta on a steering wheel

[fair gull]

its all or nothing

[ashen spindle]

never I ate it

[wheat plume]

I cannot play Distance on keyboard
I need controller for that game

same for some other more casual games, I do like controller more for anything other than FPS games

[fair gull]

dont spam multiple channels. ask in one and stay with that choice

[wheat plume]

well, any game in first person, not just shooters

[lofty tide]

Oh mb

[ashen spindle]

but also I just meant a racing game is the only one that would be sorta obvious to think of as a controller friendly vr game hence using that as an example is kinda pointless when talking about a specific controller

[iron wave]

How do you update ffmpeg on Debian?

I can just download a deb but that's gross.

[wheat plume]

Guessing you want a newer version than whats in the repo?

Deb is probably the only way unless someone made a backport PPA

[iron wave]

I want 8.1.1 or whatever the latest is.

[fair gull]

just build from src ez

[iron wave]

That's a higher maintenance problem.

[fair gull]

not rly

make the script once and its basically done forever

rm -rf nv-codec-headers
git clone https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers
cd nv-codec-headers
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

cd ..
rm -rf ffmpeg-8.0.1
wget https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-8.0.1.tar.bz2
tar xjf ffmpeg-8.0.1.tar.bz2
rm ffmpeg-8.0.1.tar.bz2
cd ffmpeg-8.0.1
./configure --enable-libvmaf --enable-libaom --enable-cuda --enable-version3
make -j8
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

this is all i did and i couldnt be arsed to automate it further by reading in the version number for example. normally you also prob dont need nv coded headers this was just so i can enable cuda

and yes you can also just make it place a link in /usr/bin to point to whatever you just compiled

[iron wave]

Eh, I'll just do it manually I guess.

[fair gull]

ffmpeg only really gets annoying once you need specific modules that you also need to compile or pull (like libvmaf and cuda libs)

[iron wave]

I need CUDA and such. :-/

[fair gull]

i mean my script includes cuda

so

just remove libvmaf and libaom

done

libaom is mainly for av1

just changed the version number to 8.1.1 (and vmaf to 3.10 but its adifferent script) and done

seems ffmpeg has its own install hooks so you dont need to do manual linking in /usr/bin or such

[iron wave]

Some people said I can do some stuff with apt but it doesn't seem to work. :-(

[fair gull]

if you find someone who compiles it and publishes it on their own apt repo sure

[iron wave]

Debian says they have it so

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ffmpeg

[fair gull]

no version 8

https://vxtwitter.com/owenbrakes/status/2053477658676380046 wild what some people are up to lmao

Owen Brake (@OwenBrakes)

Your air-gapped servers are covered by a faraday cage, you think you're safe from key exfiltration? You fool.

Low-frequency magnetic fields pass right through Faraday cages.

Researchers were able to extract data off an air-gapped shielded computer by spawning fake work loads spiking CPU power and generating magnetic signals.

vxTwitter / fixvx · May 10, 2026, 2:10 PM

[iron wave]

Building was being a pain.

[tribal dirge]

smh true airgapped servers dont use wireless RF at all...

actually it would be incredibly stupid to use wireless RF in a server environment at all

the latency is simply way too high

[ashen spindle]

huh? hows this related to using wireless

this is showing a way to extract data from detecting cpu spikes during a workload through an airgapped faraday cage

[pale sigil]

Why

I personally don't see a reason to use arch for servers

Most servers run Debian/Ubuntu

[iron wave]

Outdated packages.

[tribal dirge]

oh, I mean, then thats just a faraday cage design flaw, because usually material thickness and hole size should be specced to avoid RF leakage.

[iron wave]

Updating ffmpeg fixed the issues I was having.

[pale sigil]

What version are you using

Of Debian

Or Ubuntu

[iron wave]

There is always a way, it's all about trade offs.

[iron wave]

AMD64

[tribal dirge]

yeah, when you optimize for low frequency you sacrifice high frequency shielding.

[pale sigil]

I meant os version

Also are you using npm

Or global install

[iron wave]

Why JS?

[pale sigil]

Depends on what you're using it for but npm I think is usually more up to date package wise

Also also runs what you need it for Vs say globally

[fair gull]

man thank microsoft they are delviering severely outdated distro base images

[tribal dirge]

I guess another approach you can take is security through obscurity, where you can create garbage RF signals to occlude the RF signals being emitted by the CPU via load spike.

[fair gull]

just gotta update like 300 packages before i can even install the ffmpeg build deps

[pale sigil]

Forky is in stable?

[fair gull]

no

they deliberately used sid just so they can use ffmpeg from apt instead of building 8.1.1 from source

[pale sigil]

Oh

[fair gull]

hence its forky/sid

[pale sigil]

Can't you just docker this shit

The stuff you want @iron wave

[fair gull]

i doubt they would

[pale sigil]

Everything I do is docker these days

[fair gull]

given that googling the package deps for ffmpeg (since i already sent a built script) took 30seconds

and that was too long compared to going sid

[pale sigil]

Ah

Reminds me of my early Linux days

Stuff looks more overwhelming than it is.

[fair gull]

well debian doesnt come with build tools normally so if you dont have them yet well... you gotta install them first

[iron wave]

Nope.

It does not work unfortunately. I was originally running it in Docker and it was completely broken.

[fair gull]

with some headaches cleaning up the script

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

DEFAULT_FFMPEG_VERSION="8.1.1"

read -rp "Enter FFmpeg version [${DEFAULT_FFMPEG_VERSION}]: " FFMPEG_VERSION
FFMPEG_VERSION="${FFMPEG_VERSION:-$DEFAULT_FFMPEG_VERSION}"

  cd nv-codec-headers
  git pull

  echo "Cloning nv-codec-headers..."
  rm -rf nv-codec-headers
  git clone https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers.git
  cd nv-codec-headers
fi

make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

cd ..

rm -rf "ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}"
wget "https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}.tar.bz2"

tar xjf "ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}.tar.bz2"
rm "ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}.tar.bz2"

cd "ffmpeg-${FFMPEG_VERSION}"

./configure \
  --enable-libaom \
  --enable-cuda \
  --enable-version3

make -j"$(nproc)"

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

echo "FFmpeg ${FFMPEG_VERSION} installation completed."

now installs all deps on debian and then just builds

tested on clean debian

[wheat plume]

Honestly, Steam Deck coming with a travel case is hella nice 💜

No other handheld ever came with a case in the box

maybe some older ones, not sure

[gusty kiln]

the legion go came with a case

[wheat plume]

o nice :D

[gusty kiln]

it was a great deal at $600 new

[wheat plume]

whats that plastic disc thing?

[gusty kiln]

for the mouse meme function

[wheat plume]

ooohhhh

[gusty kiln]

but the legion go 2 got rid of the case and is like 2X more expensive

[wheat plume]

..-.

does the steamOS version comme with the case?

[gusty kiln]

nope

shame

[wheat plume]

this is the longest weekend ;-;
No update on my shipment tracking for the steam controller since 4 days

[thick elk]

Oh rip it's been a short one for me, playing with my steam controller I got on friday

I did have trouble with the overlay and steam input but launching steam big picture mode in gamescope seems to have done the trick.

[wheat plume]

AAAAAAAAAAAA i need mine

they picked the worst courier to use to deliver it too :/ GLS are shit

if they see no one at the house..thye just drive past and take it back to their depot until you call them and go to collect it

they do NOT try to deliver it the next day

[thick elk]

Here they just threw it in the mailbox for my dad to take it and leave it on top of the garbage bin.

[nimble arch]

UK orders have been shipping today, apparently.

Mine hasn't been marked as dispatched, but the EU courier is reportedly slow.

[wheat plume]

im an EU order, and mine got dispatched on Wednesday

before my friend who ordered hers at the same time as me, hers only dispatched on Saturday

[thick elk]

Mine actually got dispatched on thursday then again Netherlands so 24 hour shipping it is.

[wheat plume]

all my shipments need to go either through the UK or around the UK .-.

[lethal maple]

asked this in the other channel but I have a reservation down that was a bite late. Ive read of stutter in the Gyros so I was wondering if anyone who has one could speak on that

was curious if I should commit that reservation to a purchase

[thick elk]

In case people want my experience with it:
Really quite similar to the steam deck just a bit more ergonomic.
Really do like my left trackpad aim right stick to move which is easy enough to set up.
Grip sense is quite useless at the moment for me, maybe they can change sensitivity but the way I hold it it will randomly trigger.

Steam's overlay and input kind of not working great not storing settings when saved in game laggy overlay for menu's.
My workaround has been launching steam in game scope in big picture mode, works like a charm.

As for gyro problems not had any but use trackpads more.

[ashen spindle]

if you want a controller get it, if you dont like it return it

[wheat plume]

^

[lethal maple]

fair enough lmao

Im mostly intrested in the trackpads

those looks very intrestingf

[leaden kiln]

maybe that’s something that could be improved with an update either way

[thick elk]

Takes some getting used to, if you want my personal recommendation on use, disable that trackball no accelleration very low smoothing and it works great for me.

[lethal maple]

thank you!

hoping to get mine by this month to try it out

[thick elk]

But really up to personal preference so keep that in mind.

[iron wave]

I should get a better antenna setup for my meshtastic device at home...

[iron wave]

[empty wren]

hmm

inner rails

and top rail

Not a Voron

Not a ratrig

[heady hazel]

i think the ender is dialed in pretty decently creality Pla just sucks

[empty wren]

Creality pla is poor yea

[pale sigil]

It really is

[heady hazel]

which is funny because this is geetech and costs 5€ a kg

[pale sigil]

I've had a very good experience with greetech

[heady hazel]

yeah i mean i have pla , petg and tpu from them all is fine

[pale sigil]

I've mainly moved to petg now

I do have some pla colors though

[empty wren]

I am moving to pha

And still will use pet

Time to time

[heady hazel]

i had put off petg since i had issues regarding print quality , then again it was on the old extruder which was terrible

[iron wave]

It is a Voron.

[empty wren]

weird

[iron wave]

I need to figure out how to process these.

[empty wren]

top rail

[iron wave]

https://vorondesign.com/voron0

[empty wren]

fuck me, i did not know the v0 was top rail

but toolhead looks like afterburner

[iron wave]

I want to use this to print the parts for a Voron 2.

[empty wren]

much confusion

[iron wave]

Seems like a decent size.

[empty wren]

please do not do a 2.4

a trident exists

[iron wave]

Bigger?

[empty wren]

yes you can get in 350 too

but the flying gantry it has is ass

on the 2.4

[iron wave]

Neat.

I'm not doing it for a while though.

[empty wren]

this is just too much parts in my opinion and not even centered

[iron wave]

What should I use for the f3d/step files?

[empty wren]

fusion360

[iron wave]

Does that even function these days?

[vagrant pagoda]

Do you need to edit them

Fusion is like a top of the line cad program

[iron wave]

Yeah but it's getting more and more broken each time I use it.

[vagrant pagoda]

Thats ever cad program

The rebuild fail sound from solid works haunts my dreams

[iron wave]

Oh my god.

My email that I used for my account that I just used to login is invalid according to them.

[vagrant pagoda]

Lol

Do you use . In yours

Lots of places block that now

[iron wave]

It's just [a-z]+@gmail\.com.

[vagrant pagoda]

Idk why

[iron wave]

So I litterly can't even attempt to download it anymore.

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah

[iron wave]

Not that it would have worked either way.

[vagrant pagoda]

It hasn't been a local program on a decade

[iron wave]

Cloud = boycott

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah I use inventor and solidworks

Inventor is better for complex assembies and weldments

Sw is better for complex setups for cam

Camworks my beloved

[iron wave]

That's cool: https://www.printables.com/model/882003-guitar-herorock-bandclone-hero-controller-mount-fo

[empty wren]

It does

If you want an alternative there is hobby solid works you need to connect to the Internet to use it but $15 year subscription

There is also atom libre

Final option is solid edge

Since I doubt you want onshape

[iron wave]

I wish everyone would just use like, FreeCAD or something that is functional and getting better instead of locked down and getting worse.

We love graphs though.

[empty wren]

You can use free cad by all means

I will not stop you

Fusion 360 deals with meshes well enough for what it is worth

And can delete fillets and edges off of parts in certain order

[iron wave]

If I can't use it it doesn't deal with anything.

[empty wren]

The problem is fusion 360 allows to user to do whatever workflow they eant

Whether it is appropriate it is not questioned

[iron wave]

The workflow I would like is the old Fusion360 one but without requiring internet and on Linux. :V

[empty wren]

No no I mean

There is a certain way to make parts

Fusion botches it

And user only knows later if they fuckdd up

Because there is not really a guide...

[iron wave]

I had AutoCAD lessons in school so Fusion was so easy to pick up but man it's dead to me now and that's so sad.

[empty wren]

Designing ducts in fusion caused my program to freeze and crash many times

No error popups

[iron wave]

I oopsed.

[empty wren]

I know now the correct workflow

But still

Nobody taught me

[iron wave]

I left some stuff.

[empty wren]

Interesting that people have v0s

You are the second person on here

Ducky also has one

[iron wave]

It's the bootstrap one after all.

Minimum viable ABS capable printer basically.

It's funny that this uses the Nvidia PCI-e power standard.

Wait, why is it doing it like

876
934
125

and not something like

123
654
789

[raw zephyr]

i don't remember the last time i have seen recaptcha, most people pick cloudflare turnstile

[modern sky]

That's bad, at least its just play services and you can suspend and restart that service with many of the forks either way

Not gonna lie tho the pile of reasons to abandon Google products is ever growing, barely anything holds me onto YouTube nowadays

[umbral heron]

I moved my mail to Proton

[raw zephyr]

i recently migrated my email as well and it's pretty solid so far

also i get vpn and 500gb cloud storage with that plan so i'm happy with that

[umbral heron]

Remember that VPN doesn't work if your local network is in 10.0.0.0/8 subnet

[alpine patio]

my company has infinite google drive storage 👀

i actually have no idea if its true, havent asked how it works or if it actually is infinite

[raw zephyr]

what? how?

[raw zephyr]

oh lol

[alpine patio]

ig they are probably using the pay as you go thing for google cloud

[raw zephyr]

probably

[alpine patio]

damn its actually quite cheap

$3.6 singapore dollars a month rn

[raw zephyr]

per user i imagine?

[alpine patio]

total

shared drive

only 180gb used lol

its quite a small company

actually that might be just one account?

idk their storage is really messy, i cant make anything of it

[raw zephyr]

i would think it's per user

Network effect

[minor citrus]

To talk to our parents mostly

[bleak merlin]

All the institutions, friends and family I interact with communicate over whatsapp 😭

I can't escape it 😔

[umbral heron]

I will never use anything from lizardboy's corporation

No? That was Instagram.

[balmy vector]

In other news built my bf their own pc, first game we try is fnaf lmao

[umbral heron]

Instagram I know, but I read somewhere they do the same to WhatsApp too soon

[ashen spindle]

they might remove e2ee on it just liek insta did, or even if they dont they have so much extra meta data they can collect, that the content almost doesnt matter anymore

either way its a good reminder to use a better platform if you just chat anyway like signal

[balmy vector]

I’m switching to carrier pigeons, only big issue is packet loss

[ashen spindle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers boo already exists, think of something new smh

[balmy vector]

Tis the reference

[umbral heron]

On a related note, I like how common excuse for banning E2EE is because terrorism
As if organized groups wouldn't host their own E2EE communication

[ashen spindle]

pgp keys arent real

[balmy vector]

If it ain’t terrorism it’s protecting children

[rough osprey]

nah they using email

[marsh glade]

Then there's the children who are terrorists...

My ears suck with pressure changes so my first flight had them hurting so badly during takeoff

[ashen spindle]

have snacks ready to chew on during takeoff

[balmy vector]

I unfortunately made the mistake of not doing that, was my first time lol

Sugar free gum is top tier though

[leaden kiln]

compression socks is the best flying accessory

[marsh glade]

Noise cancelling headphones are the best flying accessory

my regular earbuds block noise better than my anc ones but they are nice yeah

same its like impossible getting my family to use anything else lol

[bright briar]

[tribal dirge]

my family mainly uses imessage lmao

and wechat

[frozen ingot]

most of my family doesn't use iphone

its pretty different in europe, whatsapp is a lot bigger here

people don't use imessage and stuff as much

[umbral heron]

My family uses Signal

[bleak merlin]

I wish I could get them to at least use Signal but they don't care enough to switch 😭

[tired sphinx]

i dont know anyone that uses signal

[frozen ingot]

tbh I don't find whatsapp that bad for most part but if they remove the encryption that would really suck

[tired sphinx]

only recently heard of it for the first time

[frozen ingot]

yeah I rarely hear anyone use signal either

[marsh glade]

Must be bad signal

[tribal dirge]

ah

[tribal dirge]

wait why tho?

[ashen spindle]

telegram was popular at first but then turns out its not safe and also used for all sorts of scams etc.

[frozen ingot]

idk its just what I've read in headlines, meta was planning on dropping it for some reason

[marsh glade]

Scammers go where the people are

[frozen ingot]

because zucc being a data rapist probably

[ashen spindle]

threema was up and coming for a while but since its paid that never took off

[ashen spindle]

well I morose mean organized groups for it, crypto groups, drug groups etc.

not people trying to scam call someone, thats happening everywhere

including on signal where they got our politicans by basically saying they are signal support and need their password...

[tribal dirge]

oh yeah because of the encryption

[ashen spindle]

well no, groups on telegram arent e2ee lol

which just confuses me but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ far be it from be to tell criminals how to hide better

Yeah I think they are focusing on business applications now

[surreal thorn]

is signal still good

[ashen spindle]

Yes

[surreal thorn]

good to know

[fickle ore]

prolly forced due to EU legislation & chat control

[ashen spindle]

lol no

you know meta would love nothing more than removing e2ee on whatsapp to just get more exclusive training data and info for their llm and ad services

[fickle ore]

ye I know it benefits them too lol

[nimble arch]

Is Signal really a better platform when they’re American owned/operated?

[fickle ore]

its a win win bc u can say it was due to EU

[fickle ore]

No, and if u wanna be alone u can use signal bc nobody is there

[ashen spindle]

yes because its using an open source protocol so you can see if they add backdoors and whatnot

[fickle ore]

but does it got AI

[ashen spindle]

thankfully no

[fickle ore]

useless lul

[ashen spindle]

but they even have taken steps against quantum computing threats of breaking that if that ever becomes mainstream https://signal.org/blog/spqr/

[fickle ore]

everything needs ai

good

[surreal thorn]

just wish more of my family used signal

[rough patrol]

I feel like getting family to use signal is like trying to get your family to switch to linux, just that you‘re even more annoying

[ashen spindle]

lmao kinda

at least this one is much more the same and also free

[surreal thorn]

at the very least my dad works in cybersecurity

[ashen spindle]

and sometimes people will be convinced if you tell them meta removed encryption on insta and can read your dms now, and nothing stops them from doing the same to whatsapp

[fickle ore]

get banks and brokers first on the quantum decryption level

then after i care about social media getting quantum brotection 😄

i really gotta learn linux

ive only been doing basic things

but idk what to do

Well.

[pale sigil]

1x8tb Is used right now and there are 2x4tb drives spare

[iron wave]

You can make a one drive pool with ZFS, use the auto expand flag, move the data over, add a drive, move data over, add a drive, etc..

[pale sigil]

[iron wave]

Oh, I'm not sure how it behaves with different sized drives.

I can have multiple drives in sonarr but you just have to select each time you add

[iron wave]

Yeah WebUSB is kind of dumb.

[iron wave]

Huh.

Go faster darn it.

[iron wave]

Is that a fan art Firebender disguise Katara?

[pale sigil]

So I can still manage media on different drives, in theory I can move data to a new drive so the 8tb always has space

[pale sigil]

Yes

[iron wave]

Is it sad that I picked that out?

[pale sigil]

My server is called Karara XD

[sinful quest]

Yea, you are still able to use other browsers like opera (ignoring edge) but fair, if your browser of choice isn't supported it's kind of meh

[pale sigil]

My desktop is called Kora

[iron wave]

I want to get something like this.

[pale sigil]

But ye I'll probably do that nown

Merge the 2x4TB drives

Add new root library, move a ton of films etc to the new drives and so the default location is still the 8tb

Should on theory still be able to manage stuff

[iron wave]

Here I am with 2 drive fault tolerance and cold spares and you are just going to stripe two drives.

[pale sigil]

It's just media

I don't care

It'll suck

But like it's easily recoverable if I wanted.

But honestly, if the market wasn't so bad I would have bought a bunch of HDDs so I can do it properly

[iron wave]

I got mine from server part deals.

I really want to do a proper build in a rack.

[pale sigil]

Even server part stuff is bad and I don't wanna deal with um

[iron wave]

Once I move. .-.

[pale sigil]

Forgot the server drives

Name

[iron wave]

Do you mean SAS? You can get SATA too.

[pale sigil]

I'd love that but I don't care

[pale sigil]

Ye but the prices are still bad rn

Even second hand etc

Or no stock

[iron wave]

That's all server part deals is.

I suppose I got most of my stuff at a decent time. .-.

[pale sigil]

Yup

My 8tb was overpriced when I got it but it's almost doubled in price since I got it loln

[iron wave]

Oh wow, these are 50%+ more expensive.

Anyway.

[pale sigil]

So ye

Definitely going to do what I said

More work but less hassle

[iron wave]

AYYYY THEY GOT MICHIGAN

[pale sigil]

Wrong channel

[iron wave]

I figured it was the last one I was going to do so it was fine. :V

[empty wren]

You can read klipper documentation

[iron wave]

That's a firmware level thing? Wild.

[empty wren]

Well either that or you may need an addon

I barely touched rgb stuff as I had the positron run for barely any time

[iron wave]

[empty wren]

https://github.com/Positron3D/PositronConfig/blob/main/printer.cfg

This may be useful too https://github.com/Positron3D/PositronConfig/blob/main/positron_macros.cfg

The macros are various which I imagine may be more appropriate for your needs

But still need to assign the pins in printer.cfg

Anyways have fun

[iron wave]

The RGB LED is controllable in the web UI.

I think I should just browse for plugins first.

[empty wren]

sure

[vagrant pagoda]

i read that has brownie plugin and was dissapointed my printer didnt have that

[karmic rock]

whats a good mouse to pair with a wooting

[empty wren]

swiftpoint z

[karmic rock]

wireless

[lethal maple]

L7 pro is cheap and reliable

I have a pro and ultra +, both are nice and the web drivers are reliable

[empty wren]

z3 is by the way

[rough osprey]

if anyone interested

[lunar elm]

i think my friend already ordered them

180 for an aircooler 💀

[sullen bear]

180 for the best aircooler you cant get atm I think no?

rather pay 180 for an aircooler which will still be relevant in 10 years over an AIO which might be alive in 3 years 😄

[lapis plaza]

Is it really the best?

[umbral heron]

Peerless Assassin and Noctua fans and you have peak air-cooling

[tired sphinx]

this

[lapis plaza]

Oh yeah seems quite good

I have a bequiet one

[sullen bear]

I have the dh15 gen 1

supposedly the 9800x3d boosts up till it hits 95C but mine cant get above 85C while maintaining similar scores so idk

Im good with air over liquid

[lapis plaza]

Well noctua has quite a good reputation

[sullen bear]

yeah but not magically removing 10C of heat reputation

[rough osprey]

dont think mine hitting 80

[sullen bear]

in R23?

[umbral heron]

Noctua and Arctic have peak fans imo

[rough osprey]

everything

[sullen bear]

check in r23

would like to know your scores and temps 😄

[rough osprey]

when im bored

my pc lowkey reset

[sullen bear]

its a 1 sec dl and like 30 sec test xD

[rough osprey]

i gotta setup bios and stuff first

[sullen bear]

for cinebench that barely matters

as long as expo is on it'll be singular %'s

[rough osprey]

nah needs that extra juice

and my ram on 4800

[ashen spindle]

ehh wouldnt say its the best when in some configs other aircoolers perform better or equal at much lower prices

and at 1/3rd the price

[sullen bear]

Which air cooler outperforms the g2?

Can only find Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 ultra but cant find many tests on it so far

[ashen spindle]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/air-cooling/thermalright-royal-pretor-130-review/2 test list doesnt have the g2 data so you have to cross compare between the articles

[sullen bear]

this is also not the ultra version from what I can see?

so could be even better

but fair never heard of this one before I googled it

[ashen spindle]

its also just hard to find good aircooler reviews or comparable results

while I generally dont think highly of tomshardware their aircooler reviews are usually quite good and follow decent methodology

[sullen bear]

Wonder what the difference is betwee nthe ultra and the standard 130

https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/comments/1mdddtw/thermalright_royal_pretor_vs_royal_pretor_ultra/

[ashen spindle]

lmao they managed to squeeze another heatpipe in the ultra

[rough osprey]

any good vapour chamber models yet?

[ashen spindle]

deep cool has once

or was that just shown at computex? dont remember

[rough osprey]

i like the aesthetics and concept of aio

big tube 🔥

wish using one on an gpu was easier / cheaper

[ashen spindle]

well get the next intel platform then, you wont find an aircooler that can cool the top sku there

[sullen bear]

I like AIOs too, but I dont like the potential drip drip on my gpu

[rough osprey]

i mean

technically

that could happen with aircoolers

[sullen bear]

and realistically? 😄

[ashen spindle]

even technically only in amounts that would vaporize the moment it leaves the heatpipe though lol

[sullen bear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY-8PZKcMYg hmmm

[rough osprey]

realistically you safe with a good aio

[rough osprey]

[sullen bear]

realistically the chances are how many millions more vs an air cooler?

and the fact that if it happens you need to fight tooth and nail to get your money back

[rough osprey]

also isnt it good against 12vhpwr fire

🤔

[sullen bear]

no cuz its an electrical fire no?

[rough osprey]

the chances of you getting killed by a car outside would be higher

[sullen bear]

yeah but idc about that

I care about my 5000$ gpu

[ashen spindle]

this makes me realize we're definitely going to see people use xeon/threadripper aircoolers on lga1954

[rough osprey]

does the graph end there?

[rough osprey]

not great

[sullen bear]

so the only thing beating the G2 so far is the FSP

according to the tests

with 0.1C?

[rough osprey]

also often cpu dependent

[surreal thorn]

i'm just waiting for noctua aio ngl

[rough osprey]

it better not be brown

[leaden kiln]

racism

[rough osprey]

[gusty kiln]

Wait what about the noctua thermal siphon?

Is that still eventually happening?

[rough osprey]

maybe idk

not soon atleast

[cerulean arch]

I dont even hit 70 on R23/R24 or even prime 95 AVX torture

[cerulean arch]

So low that its irrelevant

AIOs last forever and if they die and kill components in the EU you will get everything affected by it replaced

[lofty tide]

is wireless mouse better than wired

for gaming

[cerulean arch]

There is no difference

Its nice to not worry about a wire tho

Pure preference

[lofty tide]

What about a $30 gaming mouse vs a $60

[cerulean arch]

What kind of question is that

Ragebait?

[lofty tide]

No its a serious question

I currently have a $30 mouse and im thinking of upgrading to a $60 gaming mouse

[cerulean arch]

Well it obviously depends on the mouse specifically, no?

[sullen bear]

Yeah if the manufacturer gives in easily

Plenty of horror stories going against what you said

[cerulean arch]

They can do nothing about EU law

We have had enough cases and the more they fight the more expensive it gets

Precedent exists

[leaden kiln]

I will not get my time back

[lofty tide]

understood

[cerulean arch]

Your lawyer will do everything for you beyond your initial Email if that doesnt work

I wouldnt wasre my time on it

[sullen bear]

Difference between having a right and getting your right

[cerulean arch]

More like difference how to get your rights enforced and not knowing how to force a company

Usually giving them the legal text is enough, like for shipping costs of defective items having to be handled by them no matter what they say in their shipping clauses

[sullen bear]

Shipping and pump failure are two completely different things

[cerulean arch]

Just an example

[leaden kiln]

Talking about time lost from the broken pc, getting smth new, setting it up, lost data etc

[sullen bear]

I agree with that we have rights in the eu, but there’s plenty of examples where getting your right takes a load of time

[cerulean arch]

Of course yeah

[sullen bear]

And unless you have a lawyer/insurance you’ll be going back and forth for days/weeks/months

[cerulean arch]

I mean you should

[sullen bear]

Yeah and i have it, doesnt mean everyone can shell out another 30/month for a lawyer insurance

And without one, good luck

[gusty kiln]

The thermal siphon is the only thing that would move me off an air cooler

[rough osprey]

it not gonna perform as well

[gusty kiln]

Well I'm currently using a Noctua U14S on a 5800x3d

Probably won't upgrade until AM6 X3D

[mortal swallow]

I’m giving my friend my burner pc, all it needs is a new motherboard, should he just spend like the $80-110 on a motherboard or spend like $240 and get a new cpu and motherboard

it’s i7 7700k and I told him that he should consider getting a 5600 and a new motherboard but idk if that’s valid or not or if there’s better

[gusty kiln]

7700k is like the bare minimum nowadays

Depends on what games he plays

[pale sigil]

Don't get a 5600

[pale sigil]

This

[gusty kiln]

They are also trying to stay on ddr4 so the only real upgrade would be a 5800x3d 10th anniversary or a used 12900k on a ddr4 mobo

[ashen spindle]

entirely depends on budget and what the games are

[mortal swallow]

Val overwatch

uhh mc Roblox random pc friend slop games

it has a 3070 so probably some story games? He plays 1080p

[mortal swallow]

just listed

either way he has to get a new motherboard, and it’s hard to find a cheap lga 1151 motherboard, so I was asking if it’s more worth it to just spend the extra hundred and get a better cpu and motherboard

I’m upgrading in a few months and I’d slide him my 5800x.

[ashen spindle]

I mean then it depends on if he wants to spend more to have a better option the months later I suppose?

and if he wants to deal with selling the used board if he sticks to 1151

atm getting a 5500 is probably the only okay value for am4 new

[surreal thorn]

i have an 11700f with 3070 and on 1440p overwatch runs very well

idk about val

but in 1080p it is a bit more cpu heavy

[mortal swallow]

He said he’d be fine with spending that if it makes a noticeable difference

[mortal swallow]

I’ve only heard terrible things about the 5500 which is why I didn’t recommend it compared to the 5600

[mortal swallow]

yeah overwatch ran well on it, but Val had like 120 fps 1% lows

[ashen spindle]

I mean its just a slightly slower 5600 for much better price atm

[mortal swallow]

but how much of a difference is it from the i7 7700k, or is it just mainly for upgrade path

[ashen spindle]

no clue would have to look at some youtube comparisions to konw that

probably a decent bit since quite a bit newer but idk how much in those games
