dam

#

i usualy get 4000 ping

#

not exadurating

wheat plume
#

I get 100-200 in European servers

plush summit
#

and poor poor guys in the land down under

#

with a minimum of 250 at all times

karmic grail
#

I'm from the land down under

#

🤔

plush summit
#

wait

#

you actualy have servers that are close?

karmic grail
#

well I am at uni so...

#

servers should be damn close

latent mural
#

there are a lot of servers that they use, would be weird if there were no speedtest servers in australia

karmic grail
#

I turned the switch from the wraith Prism from low to high

#

I can't describe how loud it is

#

There's no words for how ear piercingly loud it is

latent mural
#

small air coolers

#

idk what you expected

karmic grail
#

well I can't control the fan speed yet

#

So I guess that might be a problem

latent mural
#

why can't you controll fan speed?

#

you have a 4 pin header on your mobo right?

pale sigil

karmic grail
#

@latent mural I plugged it into my 1-5fan splitter

#

The CPU fan speed is controlled by the AIO - hence max speed

latent mural
#

?

#

why is it controlled by the aio?

karmic grail
#

I could slow it down but all my other fans would be slowed down too

#

Cause the motherboard only has one control for both plugs

latent mural
#

wtf is happening with finalmeme

karmic grail
#

theyve given up

#

No finalmouse2

latent mural
#

ye

#

finalmouse 47 instead

#

imagine them releasing a single copy for like 1million US dollars

#

and also giving one to ninja so someone buys that one

#

have you lloked at the whole album?

fallow bison
#

Yoi could buy a fan controller boB

latent mural
#

ok

#

name me one that is good

#

they pretty much all are 100% hardware or have terrible software

#

the best one is the commander pro from corsair and that one is expensive af

#

for features nobody needs

fallow bison
#

Indeed

#

But there are some online, second hand, which are cheaper

latent mural
#

they are either a:terrible or b:need a 5.25" bay

#

guess what his Inwin A1 doesn't have

#

yep

#

their marketing is genius though

#

the worst part is

#

with some improvements they could potentially have a pretty good product

#

at the current point people wait for finalmouse rights on their shells to be over and either nixeus or dream machines to improve it

latent mural
#

?

wheat plume
#

Some apps don't support slplit split screen

latent mural
#

oh

#

ye

#

I used discord in split screen though

wheat plume
#

Discord and YouTube work

#

Which is what I mostly use

plush summit
#

They remove split screen in Android pie

#

They're supposed to add it back but until now it fucking sucks that I don't have it

solar hinge
#

i've never used it before :p

crimson wigeon
#

No they didn't.. ?

#

Long press the app icon in the switcher, split screen is right there

pale sigil
#

I use it rarely

#

Use my ipad for most multi tasking

#

I use my mobile only one a week

wheat plume
#

Split screen exists in Pie

#

You need to press the app icon in the recents screen

#

@plush summit

plush summit
#

Where

wheat plume
#

Open the multitasking view

plush summit
#

That's a solid no

wheat plume
#

Press the app icon above the preview

plush summit
#

I click an app icon and it opens full screen

crimson wigeon
#

Long press it

wheat plume
#

My mom's phone is stock Pie and you just need to press it

plush summit
#

What the fuck

wheat plume
#

Huh?

plush summit
#

You click the icon of the app itself to open a full-screen window

#

What

#

I thought you meant the recently used but you mean the currently open apps

crimson wigeon
#

Oh I swear just pressing it didn't work in the past

wheat plume
#

It does now

plush summit
#

This is soooooo unintuitive

wheat plume
#

At least on this ROM and this ROM is stock as possible

#

Yes
That's the recent app screen

plush summit
#

You think that just holding the task view icon will bring up an option for split screen

#

I swear Google's getting Dumber

wheat plume
crimson wigeon
#

Well with my phone with "physical" buttons I can set the recents button to do split screen on long press 😃

wheat plume
#

Same on my navbar

pale sigil
#

You're making me wanna use a custom rom

#

Stahp

wheat plume
#

Xd

crimson wigeon
#

And yeah works with onscreen as well but why would I waste screen space on those

wheat plume
#

Waht do you use rn Callum?

plush summit
#

The custom ROM is a much better solution

pale sigil
#

Last rom I tried was shit so I haven't bothered again

#

I just use Samsungs

plush summit
#

But there's no way to reverse the Canadian version of the Galaxy phones

wheat plume
#

Ew

pale sigil
#

Which isn't bad I'll have you know

wheat plume
#

One UI seems ok

pale sigil
wheat plume
#

I must wash my phone
The keyboard and desks in the college are filthy

plush summit
#

Fuck the skins I add my own

#

All I want to be able to do is to change the font

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah make sure you set it to that ridiculous worse than comic sans font I see so often used

wheat plume
#

You can change font on AOSP extended ROM

#

And on this too (MIUI)

wheat plume
#

But you need to reboot on MIUI ;_;

plush summit
#

Simple

wheat plume
#

..

#

So busy

plush summit
#

All of my apps are on that screen

#

That's my only screen I don't swipe for anything

wheat plume
#

I love Niagara launcher

#

I used to use it full time

plush summit
#

I like the next launcher

#

Until the developers got greedy

wheat plume
#

But it doesn't work well with the MIUI gesture animations when going home

plush summit
#

And that shit is broken

#

Huawei's interface is garbage

#

If I wanted an iPhone I would have bought an iPhone

wheat plume
#

I think vivo's is worse
That's basically iOS

plush summit
#

I probably be much happier with command line to be honest

#

With the only ui being the keyboard

#

Thankgoodess there are terminal emulation programs for that

wheat plume
#

You should look at Aria launcher

#

It's a cli launcher

#

Aris**

plush summit
#

I'll check it out

wheat plume
#

Brb

plush summit
#

Couldn't care less

wheat plume
#

idk if someone is visiting at 2 or not :/

Don't have German set up anymore

wheat plume

wheat plume

🤔 but I'm not German!

fair gull
#

@wheat plume says the one with a german phone ui

#

#

wheat plume
#

I'm Irish but I like German language

#

Xd

solar hinge
#

ah, @fair gull she might be mentally challenged

#

nobody likes the german language, not even most germans. she is a lost cause

#

or, she's the devil

wheat plume
#

:')

#

You'll never know

fair gull
#

@wheat plume so if i talk german to u we can converse

wheat plume
#

Not really

#

Despite being taught it in school I can barely speak it

#

:/ we only learned enough to pass exams

solar hinge
#

schwein

wheat plume
#

Indeed

fair gull
#

thats very schade

wheat plume
#

Jah

solar hinge
#

you had german in school?

wheat plume
#

It's very Blöd

#

Yeh

solar hinge
#

not what i expected from ireland though

wheat plume
#

We could pick French or German

pale sigil
#

anyone know about memory addressing etc

wheat plume
#

Had to do both in first year

solar hinge
#

i mean, i grew up in belgium, and only if you asked you could go to german classes

wheat plume
#

Hmm no;_;

#

Wow

solar hinge
#

i grew up with, dutch, english and french classes for about 10 years 😦

1. When executable code is loaded into memory, it needs to be stored in addressable memory locations. This means that the code instructions need to be bound to specific address locations in memory so that CPU can execute them. State and briefly discuss three methods of address binding. Which method is used for relocatable code?

Compile time binding
Load time binding
Execution time binding
Run Time Binding
wheat plume
#

They called French and German
"Modern languages"

solar hinge
#

i know german because my grandfather lived in Aachen

#

and my parents only watched german TV until i was like 10 (then the belgian TV kicked them off)

wheat plume
#

Oh shit
We did that stuff last year in college and never needed it again ://

pale sigil
#

im doing a networking forensics degree btw

#

sigh

#

most of my degree was shit not related

wheat plume
#

In my software development course
We need to learn business management and requirements engineering :///

#

And im shit at those
I failed the RE 😔

solar hinge
#

waifu's old ipad 2 doesn't want to update to 9.3.5 (the loading circle just keeps going and then stops. it needs to be updated so i can use netflix :p

pale sigil
#

IPad 2 in 2019

wheat plume
#

my aunt somehow managed to shatter her ipad by closing the car boot ontop of it once

#

She got a Nexus 9 instead and loves it so much more than the ipad

pale sigil
#

I dont get how people break phones and tablets

#

never broke one in my life

#

one blew up tho

#

IPhone 6

wheat plume
#

blew up??

pale sigil
#

Ye

#

Randomly exploded

wheat plume
#

ooo

#

my gosh

pale sigil
#

i went through a 2 year iphone phase, lets just say i stopped that phase pretty fast asfter that.

#

Though i do use an IPad

#

i love my IPad

wheat plume
#

😛

solar hinge
#

wait, i think it's an ipad 3

#

i'm not sure

#

free ipad is a free ipad

fair gull
#

so why is german this lang u can learn pmuch everywhere

#

german is shit

wheat plume
#

Idek

fair gull
#

des is ja ma totaler humbug

pale sigil
#

Think I'm gonna try gpu pass through again

#

Technically 4 including 2x 570s kappa

#

But in reality 2

#

Gtx 750 and a 1070ti

#

I could just yanno use inboard

#

Onboard

#

I'm almost tempted to duel boot again but it's so annoying

#

Originally tried using virt manager

#

Fuck knows everything jsut wasn't responsive

#

At first it couldn't miht mount the gpu

#

Then it just wouldn't work, couldn't even boot the vm

#

I re installed it twice

#

The entire os

#

Followed all guides

#

So fuck knows what happened

#

I just gave up

#

Also when I was using lutris

#

It ran like shit

#

No one on the Linux discord could figure out what was happening too

#

No I know

#

I just shifted the topic a bit

#

I'm really bad for that

#

Sorry xD

#

I did not

#

Really wish you could use steams software to run none steam games

#

You cannot

#

wonder now shit this runs ha

latent mural
#

tbh

pale sigil
#

Ye I can but there's various reason why I hate it

latent mural
#

I don't think you can play division 2 on ultra with any normal hardware

pale sigil
#

Performance, having to download the game again (can't use existing files) and other issues

#

And yes I can

latent mural
#

I had severe issues

#

as in performance issues

pale sigil
#

There's 2 options that remove performance issues completely

#

1 being shadows and 2 I can't remember :p

timid chasm
#

What is normal hardware? I feel that's the case for most modern games and Ultra

#

volumetric fog hits the hardest for me

fair gull
#

psure ubisoft recommends the 2080ti and vega vii for ultra on division2

timid chasm
#

the game looks good even toned down I can't imagine the need for Ultra or how much it actually adds

fair gull
#

not really

#

normal id say

timid chasm
#

hardly a super computer

#

I meant looks good toned down from Ultra to even medium. You can get it looking great if you play with the settings for a bit

latent mural
#

I have problems with the Ryzen 2700X and the Vega64, which both include it in a bundle

#

ond 2560*1080

fair gull
#

the fuck is that resolution

latent mural
#

21:9

fair gull
#

i mean id like to bench it on my rig

#

but i dont own it

#

nor do i wanna spend money on it

timid chasm
#

VII and 2080 Ti is their 4k recommendation but it sure as shit isn't running at Ultra for 60 fps

latent mural
#

if you didn't like the first game don't get teh second

timid chasm
#

unless you mainly hated the bullet sponginess

latent mural
#

it's worse in about every aspect imo

fair gull
#

i never played it cause of the massive changes from the trailer

timid chasm
#

because you die fast now and they do

#

I disagree that its worse

fair gull
#

so i never bought division

#

and i wont buy 2

timid chasm
#

definitely has issues but more enjoyable as a looter shooter than both Destiny and Anthem so far, imo

fair gull
#

how much is division2

timid chasm
#

60 if you go retailer. Probably 30 or 40 if you go Ryzen bundle

latent mural
#

40

timid chasm
#

If you get the pick two you may be able to sell off DMC or RE2 to get some back

#

I paid 35 for it personally

fair gull
#

too much

timid chasm
#

just to bench? yeah

fair gull
#

no even for finding out if i might like it

#

i dont know anyone who owns it and a decent rig to play it

pale sigil
#

Google home promo atm xD

pale sigil
#

Holy crap the Google home mini is terrible

pale sigil
#

I love my alexa

#

It's a million times better

ashen spindle
#

yes, much more experienced in spying on you vvSmug

reef patrol
#

o...ohkay

ashen spindle
#

He's trolling incase you were wondering

fair gull
#

woops

ashen spindle
#

well tbf I wouldn't have blamed you if you thought it was not a troll, finalmouse odes have some weird fans

fair gull
#

tbf a mouse is an easier gf than an actual girl

pale sigil
#

I instantly thought it was the blocking ad bans lately

plush summit
reef patrol
#

No

plush summit
#

I hope not

wheat plume
#

I unlocked my PC and see this

solar hinge
#

windows had a boner and went up?

wheat plume
#

OMFH

solar hinge
#

or do you have 2 screens, otherwise i'm confused to what you mean, you mean the taskbar right?

wheat plume
#

I keep the taskbar on the left
not the freaking middle

solar hinge
#

it had a "little" "accident"

wheat plume
#

xd

#

it went back to the normal place after I locked/unlocked again 🤔

solar hinge
#

it "came" back

wheat plume
#

........................

sudden glacier
wheat plume
sudden glacier
wheat plume
#

oh hell no

sudden glacier
#

heck ye

wheat plume
#

nu!

latent mural
#

why left taskbar though?

wheat plume
#

save space

latent mural
#

only have 1 screen?

wheat plume
#

yeh

solar hinge
#

how does that save space :p

#

having it on the left?

wheat plume
#

it saves vertical space

latent mural
#

you usually have less verticality

solar hinge
#

still

#

not that much

latent mural
#

it'S something

sudden glacier
#

auto hide saves even more space valeSmile

latent mural
#

and verticality is usually more imporant than horizontally

wheat plume
#

sadly you cant disable decorations on windows :/

latent mural
#

auto hide is garbage though

wheat plume
#

or the gnome desktop

solar hinge
#

i just have 2 vertical monitors and one ultrawide on horizontal 😃

sudden glacier
#

it's been pretty good for me too on windows 10

wheat plume
#

OP

#

that doesnt make a difference on the taskbar when vertical
the clock cant be made smaller

#

so the taskbar cant get smaller

#

indeed

sudden glacier
#

love having one vertical monitor

#

so productive

fair gull
#

if u want more space get a 4k screen

wheat plume
#

"productive" uses it to read discord

sudden glacier
#

when I code it's usually my console and other debug stuff

#

and when I stream it's my chat :)

wheat plume
#

😄

fair gull
#

who needs a console when coding

sudden glacier
#

ppl that are terrible at coding

fair gull
#

just bsod with the error message

wheat plume
#

LOL

#

on window insider it is a green screen on death

sudden glacier
#

i'll die without console to test my code

fair gull
#

i havent used consoles in years

#

discord bot tells me whats up

#

hes like "hey dumbo this is the sentry.io error id"

#

and then i just see like 300k of the same errors

plush summit
#

@wheat plume

#

no

#

my task bar is obviously better

latent mural
#

how big is your monitor?

#

and how close are you

#

I have good eyes, but I want to see what I am clicking at

#

especially since I use the taskbar quite a lot

fair gull
#

who uses the taskbar

#

alt+tab and winkey + typing what ure looking for

#

all u need with win10

latent mural
#

I have win 10

#

and I use all of those a lot

#

tbh I never use my desktop nowadays

fair gull
#

i still do for drag&dropping memes into discord

latent mural
#

I meant desktop as in the desktop on my desktop

fair gull
#

oh

latent mural
#

I drag and drop my memes from folders

fair gull
#

win+e fixes all my explorer needs

plush summit
#

its the usual 1920 1080

latent mural
#

1920*1080 is not a physical size

pale sigil
#

Top or gtfo

#

Pretty much I usually use keyboard shortcuts etc

plush summit
#

I don't think a screenshot cares about the physical size of your display it only cares about the resolution

wheat plume
#

16mbps :O

#

I've never seen my 4g this fast before

pale sigil
#

why on earth would they go from wifi/usb to bluetooth

sick creek
#

sEcUrItY

pale sigil
#

i cant use samsung flow

#

unless my desktop has wifi

#

wtf

sick creek
#

what is samsung flow

pale sigil
#

replacement for side sync

sick creek
#

is that like syncing your contacts

#

between pc+phone

pale sigil
#

No it sysncs everything, apps etc and you can remote control your phone.

#

With ease.

sick creek
#

ah

pale sigil
#

Im just going back to side sync

#

its much better than Air thingy

#

you can remote it with the screen off

#

which is important for OLED

sick creek
#

i use an iphone, so i'm only super familiar with icloud

#

what is your use case for remoting to your phone

#

to access texts? or what

pale sigil
#

i can also use my desktop for calls

#

which is handy

#

i dont use it often but its nice to leave my phone in my draw

#

and just remote in when i need it

#

xD

#

Well that fucking sucks

wheat plume
#

if you were on Linux, KDE Connect is incredible ❤ I use it all the time

pale sigil
#

it was 100gb files tho

wheat plume
#

send files, share clipboard, pause / resume media when you get and hang up the phone
reply to texts from PC

#

remote control your PC mouse and media player

#

find your phone

#

wifi is

#

not bluetooth xd

fair gull
#

i use vysor to use my phone remotely

reef patrol
#

WiFi is made for large files... What are up on about bcaHappy4Giddy

#

It's not like a bad USB drive isn't any worse off bcaHappy4Giddy

fair gull
#

just use ethernet cables

pale sigil
#

Ethernet is bae

fair gull
#

or if ure really cool use fibre or SFP+

pale sigil
#

Every device is connected to a switch in my house

fair gull
#

same for me callum

pale sigil
#

i always transfer over ethernet vs usb

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

but this is for my friend

#

his speeds arew well, not great and 100gb would take some time

fair gull
#

easy fix

#

dont transfer

#

other solution

#

take it apart, desolder the nand chip, solder it onto a pci-e adapter

#

easy fix

#

now u got access to the most insane speeds

#

if ure chinese it takes like 5minutes max

pale sigil
#

iw ant 10gb so much 😦

fair gull
#

okay new solution

#

dont put large files onto ur phone

#

just continuosly sync to a custom cloud storage

#

my english is onpoint today

pale sigil
#

Nah

#

Cloud is not great for mass files

#

Unless in a work enviorment

#

even then you usually use cloud software on a storage server

#

Using Cloud simply is not reliable for mass amoutn fo data

#

and syncing will still take space up

#

Right now i have everything on my NAS and all my cloud servers are synced with it as i use it for uni, i just mount it on my PC

#

So no need to sync files

#

I used to send backups offsite though

#

Syncing is a bad solution for large files.

#

Perioud.

#

Backup yes its good but not normal cloud.

#

You usually run a script and access images, not access the drive itself.

#

So no, normal means of cloud services is bad for backup.

#

This is also true.

#

Most cloud solutions are expensive.

fair gull
#

build your own cloud solution

pale sigil
#

In a work environment usually backups are just another server.

#

And like i said usually use your own cloud.

#

Using first party software though

#

A lot of companies used to use SharePoint

#

which was CANCER

fair gull
#

write your own cloud service

pale sigil
#

Most companies this is not doable and comes with a greater risk.

#

I would know, it was part of my degree for some reason.

#

and i used to do this as a job :p

fair gull
#

ok so

#

write an opensource cloud service

pale sigil
#

Again this is not doable in a business environment, it costs to much and the risks are to great.

#

I don't think you realise.

#

Its not as simple as hiring someone.

fair gull
#

i do realise... but who said to do in during working hours

sick creek
#

lmao just write a cloud service

#

said nobody ever

fair gull
#

i mean i wrote some tools for my job already to unpack encrypted firmwares for printers etc

sick creek
#

where's the LOTR meme

pale sigil
#

its not just something you build and be done with though.

sick creek
#

one does not simply...

pale sigil
#

there is so much more money and time that goes into this.

sick creek
#

if

pale sigil
#

it causes disruption regardless of times

sick creek
#

you guys are really ignorant to the numbers if you guys think building a cloud service thats worth a shit is an easy task

pale sigil
#

i cant belive im remembering all of this considering how much i hated it

#

but i have a 6000 word report on why this is a shit idea

#

if you want to read it xD

sick creek
#

not true, but ok

pale sigil
#

^

sick creek
#

HIPAA data is stored "in the cloud" all the time

#

health record data

pale sigil
#

Because its so much easier.

sick creek
#

because in-house servers require in-house techs and in-house maintenance

pale sigil
#

idk how it is in other countries

sick creek
#

not to mention you dont have to fuck with the infrastructure

pale sigil
#

but the NHS here, every single hospital is connected.

sick creek
#

with a cloud provider you can actually pay for a minimum SLA

#

so your shit NEVER goes down

pale sigil
#

All records are accessible etc

#

The issue is again.

sick creek
#

its too expensive and error-prone to do in-house

pale sigil
#

It's not viable and takes a long long long long time.

#

Its also risky.

sick creek
#

build better software

#

the cloud isnt the issue

#

when it comes to data breaches, it sure as hell is

pale sigil
#

I mean i do agree with brpc

sick creek
#

if you are having data breaches from the inside, then literally nothing you do can prevent that

pale sigil
#

But the issue is how difficult it would be to do such a big thing.

other than finding and firing/prosecuting that person

#

we're straying from the original topic here

pale sigil
#

Multi billion doller countries can do this.

sick creek
#

which is "dont DIY a cloud service"

#

because it's a stupid fucking idea

pale sigil
#

But most companies

#

even ones worth millions its to complex

#

to introduce

#

properly

sick creek
#

the only consideration for a private cloud, if i were to attempt one, would be to start with openstack

#

but even then, i wouldnt fucking do it

pale sigil
#

If you look at nearly all companies they never use bespoke software

sick creek
#

yeah because as soon as the architect quits

#

or dies

#

you lose all that institutional knowledge

pale sigil
#

Exactly so creating even internal software is to risky, costly and time consuming.

sick creek
#

it is only good for the person creating it, because, job security

#

thats the only long-term tangible benefit

#

think about it this way

#

lets say you get 4 programmers to build your cloud

#

3 sysadmins on 8 hour shifts

#

at a minimum

#

that's 7 employees

#

that's gonna be around $700k/yr

#

OR

pale sigil
#

its not just about the cost of the person making it

sick creek
#

you can pay probably MAX $10-15k/mo for something insane on AWS or azure

pale sigil
#

its training, hiring more people to work with it, implementing it, creating a disaster plan etc

sick creek
#

yeah its a lot more than their salaries, for sure

pale sigil
#

and this causes disruption which causes loss of money and other issues

#

you also need to hire experts outside of the programming team

#

security experts etc

sick creek
#

the big cloud services do all the hard (read: expensive) shit for you

#

you can also pay them extra to secure your shit for you

#

it's still cheaper than hiring people

#

and building some half-assed shit

#

sure, you don't "own" it

pale sigil
#

And you give away your privacy

sick creek
#

but if your business isn't starting a new cloud service... why would you want to

pale sigil
#

Actually

#

if you use first party software hosted internally

#

its a good solution.

#

Look at OwnCloud, @spiral belfry uses it and i use it, great software.

#

There are companies out there that legit use it.

#

big ones

#

and its 100% free

spiral belfry
#

yeah, really very easy to install, will take like 15 mins

sick creek
#

this is only for file sharing tho yea?

#

like dropbox

spiral belfry
#

yeah

sick creek
#

i was more talking about stuff like AWS/Azure for infrastructure

#

i used to use something like ownCloud

#

had two O's in the name, cant remember what it was called

spiral belfry
#

what infrastructure you want?

sick creek
#

oh this isnt about me haha

#

i use dropbox

spiral belfry
#

ah ok XD I moved away from there because it costs too much to store my 2tb of data XD

sick creek
#

i'd use something like owncloud if i wanted to run yet another server in my house haha

pale sigil
#

Im not a huge fan of it

#

if im honest

sick creek
#

its stressful to worry about running your own server

#

even my plex server is annoying

spiral belfry
#

😛 what stress?

pale sigil
#

really?

#

its piss

#

its fun when things break!

sick creek
#

well, 99% of the time it runs without issue

#

but like when i first set it up, it was running windows

#

then i switched to ubuntu

pale sigil
#

WINDOWS

#

There is your problem

sick creek
#

and converted it to ZFS

#

lmao dont ask

#

i was using windows server

spiral belfry
#

Windows for servers........

#

😂

pale sigil
#

We all start somewhere follkes

karmic grail
#

😂

sick creek
#

lmao

#

ok i had practical reasons for doing it

spiral belfry
#

@pale sigil yeah, we start on linux 😛

sick creek
#

it was not my first server, believe me

#

i've been using linux for almost 20 years

spiral belfry
#

why did you choose windows then?

sick creek
#

i cant remember at this point why

pale sigil
#

Nah my first actual dedi server was Windows, i took it from work to greater understand so work was easier, kinda had to but my personal stuff used Linux offsite.

If you mean serever in general then yes linux was my first via VPS etc

sick creek
#

it was terrible as a plex server tho

#

which is why i backed everything up, installed ubuntu and converted the storage array to ZFS

pale sigil
#

The only issue with Linux is when things break

#

THEY BREAK

sick creek
#

yea, fucking mono dude

#

i fucking cant stand that shit

pale sigil
#

But thats what makes it fun

sick creek
#

oh boy, lets just replace the mono lib with a new major version and break HALF OF YOUR SERVER DAEMONS

#

thanks whoever manages the apt repos

#

i mean the real solution is to not use shit that runs on mono

#

"Assume" lol this person must not understand what opensource means

wheat plume
#

one of my irl friends does not understand how open source is more secure
she says that if everyone has access to source code and can change it would that not make it super un secure? XD

crimson wigeon
#

Well they're technically not wrong

wheat plume
#

the thing they fail to understand is that if someone modifies the source code to make it malicious
It would not make it onto other people's computers because it would have to get into the software repo and those are regulated

#

for like ubuntu and arch, each package is tested to make sure it is safe

crimson wigeon
#

Yes

wheat plume
#

Jah

crude cipher
#

She is technically wrong.

#

The whole world does not have access to modify the source code, the whole world has access to possess and modify their own copy of the source code.

wheat plume
#

^^^^^^

#

and if it is a modification that the people who make the official source code like then they can add it officially after testing to make sure it is safe

crimson wigeon
#

My technically not wrong is the very rare case of downloading someone else's copy with malicious "enhancements", but that happens with closed source softwares as well so yeah

wheat plume

I wonder if you can buy low latency USB relays that allow you to turn wired devices into wireless ones... either via bluetooth or a dedicated wireless dongle at the PC. Anyone seen this? Strangely I haven't, though I'm not a big fan of wireless.

solar hinge
#

Best thing to do, make an indiegogo campaign, fake everything and then a chinese manufacturing company will steal the idea and actually make it 😁

zenith sonnet
#

Problem is, that most peripherals don't have batteries built in

#

And got a cable attached

reef patrol
#

I see a second problem. You're adding more steps to the chain. I'd be worried about introducing latency from that, instead of just redoing the electronics of the main device itself.

solar hinge
#

I know this exists for headphones

reef patrol
#

Not to mention potential issues with passthrough and translation. I have a bunch of USB adaptors for things like M.2 and SATA disks at work. Chain two of those together and a PC doesn't know WTF it's looking at often, even though both are supposed to follow standard guidelines

idk how durable it exactly is, but definetley more than the ones from apple

since it doesn't suddenly decide to shed itself

they use the softest rubber

#

they use extremely soft rubebr

#

and the conenctors are very badly designed

#

since the kink protection is basically useless

which gets worse by the 90° angles on the connector

#

which cuts the shielding

and then it starts to shed

What earphones are you guys using not overhead ones, currently looking for one for uni/getting to school use

#

50-75aud budget?

#

Yea earbuds, I do have a set of KZ ZST iems which they have been quite trashed after 3years of high school

#

I do want another set of those but looking for further suggestions (+ they cost me 19$)

latent mural
#

I like the Sony xb 500 ap, after a simple eq for the high end they become pretty nice

#

30 euro

#

They are closed so you can put them inside ear protectors without changing the sound

#

Buds are bad and make you feel bad

#

seems like you never used public transportation

#

if you don't have active noise cancellation iems are the only viable option for that

#

I decided to not listen to music inside public transport
Much rather prefer plain old ear plugs

#

It's just not a nice listening environment in any way

#

Near silence in public transport is where it's at!

#

I can't bear the noise of 100 middle school kids in a 20 minute train ride

#

Ear plugs, reusable, rubber

#

yea no

#

i'd like to hear something rather than nothing

#

especially when it's taking a while

#

Hearing nothing through a large part of the day is a luxury

#

if you want to hear nothing you can also stab your eardrums

#

don't want that though

No actually do that you will have the opposite
