can someone PLEASE explain to me what the purpose of Gaia X is?
warped dove
to prevent monopoly because monopolies can price gouge and destroy all local economy
Makes sense that's it German
they care that the EU economy isn't wielded by China and US mega corps
old marlin
I don't get in what way it should work
like what should it do
is it for data?
is it a cloudflare alternative?
warped dove
Being fully owned and hosted in the EU it can abide EU law from the ground up
old marlin
tbh
I wouldn't trust any cloud as a company
and would just make my own private one
for company use
warped dove
I used to work for a company that installed and managed local servers and infrastructure, the costs are pretty immense
old marlin
like no matter who hosts it
warped dove
cloud is way more affordable
warped dove
Like they had one contract to just look at someone's servers, not do any work, $2 million
warped dove
the company doing the work was like 20 people and it was a shambles
the client was chubb
old marlin
well
warped dove
wait not chub... uhh
old marlin
reasonably big
warped dove
doesnt matter, they were big in america
warped dove
uhh? it's the richest country in the EU and renowned for good infrastructure of all kinds
warped dove
No
old marlin
like every german can confirm that internet and connectivity here is shit
halcyon moss
bring it to NL 😉
old marlin
even for industrial use
warped dove
They'd have great internet if they were more central like France
^ that's why Netherlands has such great interwebs
it's pretty much the middle of the EU internet
old marlin
oh the problem isn't centralization etc
warped dove
close to UK , france and germany
old marlin
it is just that the telekom gets to slow down the progress
warped dove
it made sense historically especially because of low latency stocks trading
old marlin
to make more profit
warped dove
Yeah Germany is getting too middle class for its own good
old marlin
they made a huge advancement a few years ago when most people could upgrade to 5 mb/s download
which is basically the best you are gonna get without vectoring
warped dove
they're getting fat, conservative, incredulous about their surroundings and the behaviour of the youth
old marlin
oh and you are only guaranteed half of that at best
if someone has a better solution the telekom actually goes to court to make the otehr solution worse
warped dove
and prices at rising
old marlin
sicne they wouldn't be able to compete
warped dove
but that just means companies will be rich on the world stage
old marlin
gigabit in germany is almost impossible to get
halcyon moss
In Cologne i had pretty good fast and affordable internet...
warped dove
rich enough to fund mighty projects
old marlin
I had 400Mbit before
which was basically the best internet you are gonna get in germany
halcyon moss
not gigabit speeds or anywhere close though
old marlin
costs an arm and a leg too
halcyon moss
Fiber is not a thing then?
old marlin
nope
still isn't
the 400mbit is with docsis
fiber basically isn't a thing
only VERY regional
and it takes ages to spread
halcyon moss
Cries in Amsterdam
old marlin
the "deutsche glasfaser" is currently promoting that they may build fiber in the region of one of our company standpoints
which will be done in like 2021
and they started promoting it liek a year ago
feral jolt
Tfw I have gigabit available but cant afford it right now
5 dollars a day for internet is a tad much while going to school
old marlin
I have 100 Mbit in my flat
with vectoring
so if it goes down to 16 Mbit it is still normal
don't have guaranteed more
if the pople in my village were more active in the internet it owuld dip a ton

ashen spindle
as in the direct link for the video or what url?
so you're trying to download a youtube video effectively?
I mean that sounds like that page is showing up correctly
it's faily unusual for most youtube consumers to do and something people would definitely automate via bots if youtube would do nothing against it
doesn't sound very "normal" to me
ashen spindle
now that would be something
crimson wigeon
Oh yeah
ashen spindle
anyway, definitely not "normal"
crimson wigeon
Yeah I only see that blocker when I'm using a more public proxy (e.g. tor) that people use to do sketchy stuff
ashen spindle
like not the weirdest stuff ever but it makes sense for that page to pop up there more often than elsewhere
old marlin
that just plays audio and has the option for a player though
not ascii though
I'm not good at programming
But if i had the time i'd probably write a converter that puts out higlighted ascii art for videos

yup regular O11D
and 120mm rads
it doesn't support 140mm fans
at least not 3 in a row
I think the top can take 280mm
old marlin
the normal O11D isn't extremely big
zenith sonnet
Is a 360 rad enough for CPU and GPU
Or may I want more?
3950X doesn't output that much heat, but the VII can pull 200-220W under full load, not sure how much of that goes into the water
But Zen 2 likes cool, as close to ambient as possible
old marlin
hsould be
if you want the O11D can easily take 3 360mm rads
not all mobos work well though

[insert snarky comment about apple supprting devices longer than android phones ] :p
old marlin
with the price of an iPhone you can buy 2 pretty decent android phones though
maybe even 3
safe patrol
My DOOGEE S90 was $250(USD).
I can also get the S60 which is more than sufficient for me for $120(USD)
I got the S90 for the Batman options lol
old marlin
something like MI 9T Pro
safe patrol
The suck thing is that most personal electronics vendors are tryingto make their devices seem disposable :/
ashen spindle
Even if you consider the iPhone SE?
safe patrol
Android and Apple included. "Ooh your thing is 18 months old. Toss it give us more $$$ "
fair gull
oh noe doogee
ashen spindle
Wut my 6s still gets the latest software updates
fair gull
i mean they are using a doogee phone what did u expect
old marlin
@ashen spindle why would you get an SE now?
tiny screen
no even remotely comparable ahrdware
and probably won't take long until it is finally discontinued
ashen spindle
I was just mentioning it for the price discussion and there is an se2 coming or so, not sure, don’t really care about phones
old marlin
well
an android will still be cheaper
if the new SE still comes with an 4" screen I don't see anybody switching back to it
even if you like small phones
ashen spindle
Should still outlast most android options in terms of years of OS updates
old marlin
the only reason that gets used is because a flip phone isn't as accesible
do you need OS updates though?
is that eveything that is important?
ashen spindle
It’s more important that hardware for me
old marlin
cause I can make a phone that basically will be supported forever
but everything is shit
ashen spindle
I love the new dark mode and don’t really need a better camera
old marlin
well
if you don't really care about your phone
you might as well get a 200$ android
ashen spindle
And that’s as responsive, nice screen (comparatively only obviously) and has equal long software support?
Hardware is not completely irrelevant, just usually less important than software compatibility, once a certain QoL is there
Though personally I’d prefer an option that’s not based on google or apple but who knows if there will be a decent option for that this decade
fair gull
psure essential phones get more support than iphones
safe patrol
What is wrong with Doogee??
warped dove
iPhone SE 2, I think apple screwed up. It's like they're not taking it seriously... but like 25% of humans have hands too small for this insane 6+ inch shit that's everywhere. Not only that, I know two big guys who have the old SE and keep it because it's small and they are sporty and don't want a big breakable clown phone.
If apple made a serious SE that's actually modern then they'd capture a huge market
But instead people in that price range will go for the thin Sony Xperia 5 and pixel 3a
or y'know, deal with huge iphones
because they're unwavering mindless yuppies
ashen spindle
or, like me, prefer somewhat larger phones
I chose the 6s plus because I liked it more than the smaller version
warped dove
ok... but I already said that you're the other 75%
ashen spindle
ah true, somehow missed that entire half of a sentence lol
zenith sonnet
How much longer does Apple support devices than OP?
ashen spindle
there was a nice graph I can't find anymore that showed ios support for various phones which is the only reason I know about it
currently the 6s is still supported by the newest version and was released 2015
so 4 years currently

as far as I know you can't spoof a gpu like that without some bios shit. Might be able to find some weird bios thing on hacking forums but I imagine its unlikely

Afterburn fucks with a couple games real bad from my experience. So if you use it and something seems iffy check that

The the RTSS framerate limiter is the best option outside of a (good) ingame limiter

it should still be under warrenty
they even say on the invoice

at the very least x470
halcyon moss
@zenith sonnet there is always something better over the horizon. If you want it now. get it now.
ashen spindle
Yes they didn’t confirm it yet but zen3 will still work on am4, you can easily get that info by looking at the epyc roadmap, zen4 will introduce ddr5 and maybe more and they aren’t going to implement new tech in consumer chips before epyc gets it, especially with the same dies being used for ryzen and epyc
dim spear
they confirmed it was am4 yes
but not if it would still work with x470
important difference
btw if it would still work with x470 or not is purely a marketing choice for them
they can choose to cut it out or just keep it supported
it's an AGESA thing
zenith sonnet
Since Zen 2 works all the way back to A320 chipsets, and could technically work on even older generations, it will probably be the same thing for Zen 3
It's a question of how much effort is it worth to support motherboards from x gens ago
Since the majority of customers upgrade their motherboards with their CPUs, if both are >3 years old
Main limitation for chipset support on Zen 2 was afaik ROM/microcode size
zenith sonnet
Some vendors (cough MSI) even had to re-release many 'older' boards with larger BIOS ROMs, because they couldn't fit Zen 2 BIOS'
halcyon moss
hmm i hope my 3700x last about 4-5 years =]
zenith sonnet
Depends on what you do
halcyon moss

zenith sonnet
Right now I'm toying with the thought of getting a 3700X to replace with a 4950X next year
zenith sonnet
I don't wanna jump on DDR5 early, and I doubt Zen 4 will support both
Technically they could probably do an AM4 and an AM5 edition of the chips
But why fragment their ecosystem?
It would also slow DDR5 adoption
If the past still holds true, it'll take 1-2 years for DDR5 to catch up to DDR4 in price/performance, especially because DDR4 prices will drop even further
In capacity it'll match or exceed DDR4 from the start
And probably also in GiB/$
zenith sonnet
The thing that's hard to predict is whether the 3950X vs the hypothetic '4950X' is actually a worthwhile upgrade
We know 8 core CCXs, which might be interesting for gaming
Otherwise, it's supposed to focus mainly on power, and won't have a huge IPC boost
And there isn't much to be done on the GHz front, we'd be lucky to see 200MHz more
We don't know enough about 7nm+ EUV to make any sort of reliable assumptions

'Water damage' can come from the oddest sources, particularly the corrosive type
Like having the phone in your pocket when you're sweating
reef patrol
You can sick the consumer rights people on them, and use a third party workshop to determine damage.
But it won't be cheap in up-front costs to get your way
Claiming water damage over sweaty pants won't get you far in Denmark as a seller at least.

LVM is an awesome tech if you don't use shitty filesystems lol
plush summit
...ext4 for filesystems
lvm to ....well...manage the partitions
im confusing now
i used it to lable, extent, ad resize a partition

Btrfs works ok I guess I'm using it
Has been a couple of times (usually after a forced re-boot) where it refused to mount and I had to btrfsck, however..
I don't use any advanced features (except compression) though
I like it tho because WinBtrfs works great for giving Windows Btrfs support (although in the past it has corrupted some files so BEWARE!)
halcyon moss
what about checksumming?
crimson wigeon
It checks 'em, no avoiding it
halcyon moss
yeah thats a nice feature to have
crimson wigeon
Basically means that if a file gets corrupted it refuses to even try to read it and instead emits complaints in dmesg
halcyon moss
hm,

What the bloody hell happened an hour ago?
ancient sentinel
fair gull
anyone got a recommendation for a completely pink rgb backlit keyboard?
or transparent case and pink caps with rgb backlight
livid rose
only thing I can think of that exists that is somewhat remotely usable is the quartz edition of the razer blackwidow @fair gull
fair gull
that is to be replaced
my sister had one and it broke after 4 days
razer then said it works and returned it
and it still doesnt work
plus id call razer borderline useable
ashen spindle
a wooting with rgb color set to pink
reef patrol
Wooting sanded down and sprayed pink with a sealing coat.
fair gull
ya i was thinking of getting a wooting but then id need to find a german pink keycap set
reef patrol
Could get WASD to custom print one.
Won't be quite as longterm as a "real" set, but it works.
fair gull
isnt wasd abs
fair gull
thats what i want tho
and dont forget
has to have translucent lettering
for rgb backlight
reef patrol
Gotta order a hundred or more then. 😄
fair gull
so respray the bottom case of a twooting
best case reanodize the topplate
and abs caps
halcyon moss
cant you reuse the keycaps from the razer keyboard?
reef patrol
Razer uses ABS too though?
old marlin
yup
only on their new huntsman TE they have doubleshot PBT
and a standard bottom row
TKL though
and black
getting this board and only using the caps is probably the easiest way
reef patrol
They're not seethrough. 😦
old marlin
welp
reef patrol
The best match is a quartz Huntsman, which uses ABS again.
old marlin
yea
zenith sonnet
What you need a pink keyboard for?
To go with your programming socks?
thick elk
Honestly I really don't think pink is a bad color. Just the low contrast between the ledgers and the keycaps. That really does not work great in practice.
reef patrol
Does anyone really look at their keyboards though, Qlum? 😄
thick elk
I do, just not when I am actually using the thing.
pale sigil
ye.... no
reef patrol
😄
Mold the big parts, 3D print the small ones. Gotta get in touch with your inner Cosplayer.
stiff herald
hey
so probably a bit of a dumb question maybe but does the lekker switch only use magnets and the halleffect sensor on the pcb to make it work?
I mean I have read how it works but I'm not sure if I'm right on that which I wanna clarify if I understood it
stiff herald
ah ok
as far as I know, they are both just mounted underneath the pcb?
pale sigil
the sensors? yes? switches? no
stiff herald
only the sensors
not the switches
ashen spindle
hey @zenith sonnet you're on the wrong account
zenith sonnet
🤔
stiff herald
hmm so if my assumption is correct then
to make the analog function work, all you have to do is mount magnets and the sensor under the switch, underneath the pcb to make it work
obviously its not as simple but thats how it would basically work
alright, are there any pictures of the wooting pcb then? I couldn't really find any that shows it from alla angles
and the fact that I don't own one myself yet
old marlin
to make the analog function work, all you have to do is mount magnets and the sensor under the switch, underneath the pcb to make it work
that is completely wrong
you have the magnet in the switch
and a hall effect sensor on the PCB
which then can measure the magnetic field and by that the distance of the magnet, once calibrated
zenith sonnet
Magnets!
old marlin
how do they work?
zenith sonnet
Dunno...
Magnets?
Marketing for the Lekker keyboards to include the word magnets at least 5 times per 100 words
And act like it's secret sauce magic
zenith sonnet
Magnets!
stiff herald
Thanks for the clarification
halcyon moss
Haha, @ashen spindle i thought the same of @zenith sonnet 😄
zenith sonnet
halcyon moss
Did you order one @zenith sonnet ?
sudden glacier
question about hardware stuff with mouse buttons
my middle mouse button seems to have worn out to the point where it no longer can register my finger clicking on it
old marlin
mouse?
sudden glacier
and the side buttons sometimes register a click twice
old marlin
happens with too much use
sudden glacier
this happened to a mosue less than 1.7 years old
pale sigil
Corsair by any chance? 
old marlin
you can solder on new ones
sudden glacier
Mionix
sudden glacier
so their warranty written online says they do not cover damage by usage
sudden glacier
and they are refusing to reply to my warranty reviews
old marlin
rip
sudden glacier
rip
i really want them to at least reply to the case
they've been good before but now intentionally ignoring my case
sudden glacier
EU
pale sigil
Ahh is that Princess Aurora?
sudden glacier
yea so i dont think i can do anything to fight their bad habits
i'd have to buy a new mouse right
pale sigil
@sudden glacier bruh is that supposed to be Allura from Voltron?
cos ugh
100% spelt wrong
old marlin
btw if it is still within warranty they aren't allowed to refuse your rma request
sudden glacier
the emote?
pale sigil
yes
pale sigil
reeee
old marlin
@sudden glacier which mionix was it?
sudden glacier
avior 7000
pale sigil
sudden glacier
looks like her
pale sigil
Weeb? wot
sudden glacier
sudden glacier
this is the button i'd need to replace
old marlin
noit sure if they are even allowed to enforce that
you'd also need new sidebuttons and feet
in total i'd guess ~20-30 euro
sudden glacier
the mouse itself without a sale is 45 euros
and im not planning to support this company anymore
sudden glacier
i still love the mouse though
sudden glacier
looks rlly nice with my setup
old marlin
idk what the point of a 2 year warranty is if they use parts that can fail within the warranty period
very sure that isn't legal
sudden glacier
i dont think they'd read it
pale sigil
write up a letter to small claims court
Send them a draft and warn them you're going to send this
Its how i got currier to refund me for destroying my goods
sudden glacier
they legit don't reply to my messages after the discussion went from "how do I fix this" to "lets check your warranty"
sudden glacier
sudden glacier
i have
old marlin
well
pale sigil
Have you send a reply every day?
old marlin
switches are made to be clicked
sudden glacier
they didn't reply since october 01
old marlin
and you didn't misuse it
sudden glacier
i have sent 2 replies bumping it and made entire new post about it after a month of no response
pale sigil
bump it everyday bro
i usually give them a few days
if no response
bump like you mean it
sudden glacier
nah good idea im going to post every single day when i wake up
simple message changes every day
sudden glacier
they'll have to keep up this joke until april until the 2 year guarantee is over
but even then I believe that shouldn't void it
old marlin
also mionix is from europe iitc
sudden glacier
i looked it up and i couldn't find any place to report incidents like this
old marlin
since they are european tehy get treated as if they were in the same country
within the eu
basically
pale sigil
Ye
sudden glacier
the seller follows the rules of the country
old marlin
european laws stand above national laws
especially if it is a european case
yea I would try to convine them to just allow the warranty claim
before enforcing it
much less hassle
sudden glacier
talking about a relatively cheap 45 euro mouse
i'm not going to fight a case for that
looking online in comments of videos documenting the issues and teardowns of this mouse
so many other people have issues with their support service not backing up their products
not just this mouse
a lot of people recommend opening it up and replacing the buttons from another old mouse
never again
old marlin
they don't have anything worthwhile rn anyways
sudden glacier
from massdrop reviews on one of their newer(nvm*) products
old marlin
the naos is just an incredibly bad mouse
it is an OEM shell, dream machine uses the same one with a better sensor and switches
sudden glacier
all of their mouses seem to have the same issues
i guess that's why they're cheaper
old marlin
they aren't cheap though
a g305 is less than 50 euros
a roccat kain 100 is ~50 euros
cheap would be something like g203 at under 25
sudden glacier
probably going to try some ultralight mouse next
sudden glacier
wont look as good but a lot of people recommend it to me in gaming
old marlin
razer viper has meh buttons
KPU is pretty good, but only for smaller hands
they are good for gaming
sudden glacier
actually i have a friend who was willing to send his model O mouse just for shipping costs
second hand device but sounds like a good deal
old marlin
tbh I wasn't impressed by the model o
pale sigil
i love my g403
idk how i liked my space ship
if anyone is interested, deezer is doing hifi 3 months for free atm https://www.deezer.com/en/offers/hifi

Too bad I download everything from them using Deezloader. It would be worth it then

FINALLY
its 10:30pm rn
since 10am
ive been trying to restore a server for a customer
cause they caught some ransom ware
everything got encrypted over the weekend
including one of their backups
second one was being encrypted already
found out that it encrypts in 3 stages
was at stage 2 with the second backup
key for stage 2 is static
got the backups back
ashen spindle
nice
ashen spindle
o
fair gull
so i made a backup of the server with the encrypted shit
tricked the software into restoring it
and now i can mount the incomplete backup
just took me 12hours
now i have to see if i can do the same for the data volume
btw this is of a state funded organization called
DRK
Deutsches Rotes Kreuz
lel
ashen spindle
yknow with american hospitals getting hit I was wondering when the same would happen elsewhere
fair gull
I have received word that some other companies were affected aswell mostly companies that have billing software etc
like there was one company selling financial software that got hit on over 70servers
ashen spindle
lets hope unlike the american counterparts these here will update security and such so they wont get hit with the same stuff weeks later
zenith sonnet
God damn it
fair gull
its just a new variant with some updated shit in specific key 1
ashen spindle
yes so lets hope they at least up security so it has to be 2017 or newer shit to break it lol
zenith sonnet
the current state of German IT
zenith sonnet
sad
fair gull
thats the banger
thats the shit that pmuch encrypt everything over the 2 days
or well if smth is attached for long enough
zenith sonnet
Good thing they kept enough data trash around it didn't finish sooner?
ashen spindle
not surprising sadly
fair gull
exactly
and well
one of my employers and me are handling this
cause well we are the most knoedlegable
and we were like "wtf did our server guy do when setting this up"
ashen spindle
fair gull
note: the person setting up servers at the clients destination is my other employer
so we were like "gg"
now we have to pmuch go to any client we have with a windows server and RDP Ports that are publicly accessible
cause my employer was like "why secure this when we got windows passwords"
as if those were ever secure
fair gull
welp guess whats planned for the next meeting
someone gonna get asked a few questions
zenith sonnet
What kinda data was the server handling?
Billing? Patient records? Something else
ashen spindle
think saying that would fall under gdpr lol
