not really nodes fault for shitty code

crimson wigeon
#

I would say it is JS fault for allowing that garbage

fair gull
#

its the coders fault for being too dumb

crimson wigeon
#

But yeah true the devs behind that garbage aren't really known for being the brightest, just ye typical webdevs tbh

halcyon moss
#

soap

crimson wigeon
#

drop it

halcyon moss
#

nah lets use xml

crimson wigeon
#

plsno

fair gull
#

fuck xml

#

id rather shoot myself

halcyon moss
#

lets use soap! because xml doesnt have lists!

fair gull
#

N

#

O

#

id rather stay with a rest api sending me json

#

and websockets

#

than soap

halcyon moss
#

yeah metoo

fair gull
#

if someone gives me the choice between using soap or raping a child

halcyon moss
#

Im trying to make all new connections json

fair gull
#

id rather rape the child than use soap

halcyon moss
#

woah O_o youre a sicko

fair gull
#

no that just shows how shit soap is

#

i had to use the clusterfuck ones

#

and i didnt take enough money for it

#

honestly regret it

#

ok lemme set the scene

#

Me is me

#

and customer is customer

#

and soap is soap

#

Customer: Hey uh can you code me smth?
Me: Sure tell me what you want.
Customer: I want a small node library for this API
Me: How many endpoints do you want me to implement?
Customer: Just the ones for getting player info, getting server info and sending broadcast messages
Me: Sure I can do that for my flatrate package 1 price
Customer: Cool so 20bucks and thats it?
Me: Yes i promise.
SEVERAL DAYS GO BY
SOAP: FUCKER IMMA BEAT YOU DOWN TILL YOURE NOT BREATHING ANYMORE
Me: pls no stop

#

@fair gull no i mean why deal with the syntax of Promise when async exists

fair gull
#

@sick creek wha

sick creek
#

It’s so much cleaner to not instantiate a promise every time you want to use one

fair gull
#

wha

#

now im literally confused

#

like send example code

pale sigil
#

What ever happened to Lana

fair gull
#

idk

pale sigil
#

i liked Lana

#

im gonna add her

#

See whats up

fair gull
#

already asking her

#

kinda sad myself

crimson wigeon
#

Lost to the infinite hole that is Linux desktop customization 😦

fair gull
#

shes been gone a month

#

holy

#

how did we not notice

zenith mirage
#

bar government employees Eyes

pale sigil
#

for me i have been pretty distant from discord in general for a while

fair gull
#

eh im somewhat distant

#

like i jump into convos/args

#

but i usually dont stalk people

sick creek
#

@fair gull in the screenshot you posted, you can add async to the function declaration, so:

async function getContent() {
    let ...
    
    result = ... await ... 

    return result
}
#

does that make sense?

#

you will need to use webpack with the es6 plugin if you aren't already, afaik

#

it's essentially the same thing as what you're already doing, but much cleaner and easier to read (IMHO)

#

it still returns a promise, if that's not clear

fair gull
#

wha

#

what screenshot

#

oh u mean the youtube music client

sick creek
#

yea

fair gull
sick creek
#

i use async/await constantly, so when i see people using promises manually i have to mention it because a lot of people have no idea it exists

fair gull
#

need it so i can await the func

#

otherwise i wouldnt use a promise

sick creek
#

no no i know

#

remove the promise declaration, then put async in front of the function

fair gull
#

thats not how it works

#

literally

#

awaiting a function that doesnt return a promise does nothing

sick creek
#

async + await IMPLICITLY returns a promise

fair gull
#

no

#

it does not

sick creek
#

yes it does

#

read the docs

#

i use this pattern all the time. my application would not function if that's not how it worked

#

it would be like 30 race conditions on every page

#

(spoilers, it isn't)

#

The async function declaration defines an asynchronous function, which returns an AsyncFunction object. An asynchronous function is a function which operates asynchronously via the event loop, using an implicit Promise to return its result. But the syntax and structure of your code using async functions is much more like using standard synchronous functions.

#

using an implicit Promise to return its result

fair gull
#

so i guess eslint is just outright wrong then

sick creek
#

if eslint doesnt have the es6 plugin

#

it wont know

fair gull
#

using es2018

sick creek
#

should work

#

idk why eslint is complaining

fair gull
#

nope gives me errors

#

cause

wheat plume
#

Ahh yes, the tech talk that idk wtf is going on with xd I missed this server

fair gull
#

undefined resolve/reject

#

so unittesting is borked

#

so i just use promise to actually unit test this shit

#

rather have unit tests than save 2 lines of code

wheat plume
#

oooo

sick creek
#

fair enough but i'm sure there's just something misconfigured

fair gull
#

well it would also fail anyway if i do promises that dont have async functions

sick creek
fair gull
#

cause then id run into require-await

#

which requires at least 1 await in an async func

#

and no i wont remove that rule

sick creek
#

wha

#

under what circumstance would you need an async func without an await

fair gull
#

when weirdos modify it and post PRs

sick creek
#

yikes

fair gull
#

eslint is meant for code uniformity

#

so better configure the rules

#

even if one themselves doesnt make the mistake

#

its to stop dumbos and catch them when running eslint test

sick creek
#

no i understand that

#

i run eslint on my js

#

but why would you ever have an async func without an await

fair gull
#

thats why i wont switch to the implicit one but thanks for telling me

#

ask weirdos using js

sick creek
#

i'm just confused haha

#

i assumed there was some other implication there, not just "i cant trust dEveLopErs"

fair gull
#

nope just dont trust idiots on github

sick creek
#

which, agreed, there's a lot of idiots out there

fair gull
#

especially in the scripting langs

sick creek
#

yea trust me i know... been writing php for 15+ years, i've seen it all

fair gull
#

put carrots into your eyes

halcyon moss
#

Because you cannot miss them on the youtubes

old marlin
#

why tf would he use a synology NAS at home

#

linus "Mr. Overbuilt NAS server" uses an off the shelf NAS without a sponsor, yea right

#

I also liked when he used proxmox for his MC server and didn't mention it because he didn't get money for it

reef patrol
reef patrol
#

Yeah... couldn't watch it any longer, after he went "So yeah we're putting 4, 14TB drives in it" bit.

wheat plume
#

O.o

reef patrol
#

Linus sponsored videos are basically just advertisements that serve no practical purpose other than fill his wallet 😄

old marlin
#

he should have really demonstrated proxmox tbh

#

such a great tool for managing a shitton of servers

#

with NAS systems etc

fair gull
#

isnt it for vms

old marlin
#

yea

#

for mid to large scale companies it is insanely good

fair gull
#

prob easier to spin up 50docker containers

old marlin
#

especially if you basically don't care about energy efficiency like we do

fair gull
#

im still looking for an easy tool to spinup gameservers

old marlin
#

with proxmox every idiot can set up a new VM though

#

just clone windows VMS in hyperv lul

#

totally won't break anything

#

or perform like shit

fair gull
#

ya no thought more like gamepanelx just better

old marlin
#

I mean

#

you COULD do it in proxmox

#

or docker if you wanted to

#

question is if you want it though

fair gull
#

psure it doesnt handle gameserver spinup

old marlin
#

I actually have a guy at work that once worked in a gameserver hosting company

#

i'll ask him monday

fair gull
#

like in gamepanelx u literally just do like "i want this gameserver" done

#

its spun up

#

no need to prepare vms beforehand

#

its just that the shit is really outdated and buggy

old marlin
#

yea ik what you mean

#

still not impossible if you set it up correctly

#

gotta warn you, we have some autists at work

#

on thursday one of our devs was so much in a programming tunnel he wrote a batch script to open powershell to execute CMD commands

#

best part was when he realized what he did right after executing it

pale sigil
#

oh shit vscode can SSH!

pale sigil
#

Anyone who uses VSCode SFTP and SSH I need halo

#

@proud nacelle nah

wheat plume
#

Wish I was good at Java like this

zenith sonnet
#

You need to equip a second layer of programming socks and grind up your NEET level

solar hinge
#

grinding up your NEET level is by using a blender on several nerdy 9 year olds 😄

ashen spindle
#

does anyone know of a wat to get c++ running on a website? is there something like an SFML or SDL library/plugin for that?

crimson wigeon
#

It doesn't quite work like that, but you can use emscripten to compile your C & C++ code and run it in a browser

ashen spindle
#

ah nice, looks like an easy and simple tool

#

ty

safe patrol
#

whats a NEET level?

safe patrol
#

can I use #🔌│tech to promo a software project I need help with? xD

proud nacelle
#

Everything about the linux kernel's CONFIG_xxx options make me want to die. Not only do you get settings for things which are disabled (ex: print over serial when serial is disabled confused_darrell), but then some damn random driver or program needs it without explicitly asking for it. christ.

pale sigil
#

@safe patrol can do as you see fit as long as you don’t go mad :p

pale sigil
#

Can i borrow someone to test on.

wheat plume
#

O

ashen spindle
#

well rip looks like emscripten isnt working with sfml lmao @crimson wigeon is there something similar that might work?

crimson wigeon
#

None that I know of, better switch to SDL ecks dee

ashen spindle
#

urgh thats what I wanted to avoid haha

#

maaaan I really hoped I could easily port sfml to work in web, even nacl seems to not work with it blergh

#

at this rate it might be faster to just use unreal since they can export to web lmao

#

wait sdl got an emscripten port 6 years ago and sfml still doesnt work? whyyyyyy

safe patrol
#

@pale sigil -- too late

safe patrol
#

Just a small project aiming to be a reasonable Facebook alternative.

neat oriole
#

This is a very good desktop DAC

halcyon moss
#

is it active? Aka does it work on pixels ? :p

neat oriole
#

Yes

#

I assume you’re referring to the pixel phone

halcyon moss
#

eh.. yes

neat oriole
#

It works on anything with a USBC port

#

The built in amp can adequately drive most headphones

#

You can get a USBC to USBA adaptor and use it for your PC

halcyon moss
#

but what makes it a very good one?

neat oriole
#

It’s very clean

#

Very little noise

#

The built in amp is also ok

#

It’s nothing to write home about but it’s better than the pixel dongle

halcyon moss
#

And cheap too

neat oriole
#

Yep

#

It’s $9

halcyon moss
#

€10

neat oriole
#

Rip your EU tax

#

Still cheaper than a Schiit Modi

#

And not that far behind

halcyon moss
#

tax and 2 year warranty

neat oriole
#

The dongle has a 2 year warranty?

halcyon moss
#

every tech thing has to have 2 years in the EU

#

minimum

neat oriole
#

That’s a nice bonus I guess

#

But yeah now you can get a really nice audio setup for very little money

pale sigil
#

Drives me nuts

#

That 10 years ago cloud gaming was already a thing and pretty decent

#

Yet most of them now are shit

old marlin
#

there are huge security and scalability concerns

crimson wigeon
#

Yeah OnLive was great I spent a lot of time just stalking people playing them video games

ashen spindle
#

Biggest issue is with latency and better speeds don’t lower latency so it’s normal the progress since then isn’t amazing

halcyon moss
#

Onlive got bought by Sony right? That tech is probably now playstation now.

#

There are also options to have your own virtual pc in the cloud.

#

actually.. those streaming game services might be nice for some of the machine learning tasks... :p

#

just have to maintain a connection though...

old marlin
#

stadia for example only runs one session per hardware server

#

and recommends devs to use 8-10 vega 56 per session

#

scalability basically didn't matter to them

#

if they made it run multiple sessions per hardware server you could use something like meltdown or spectre and take down the whole thing incredibly quick

#

steam apparently wants to split sessions in containers and run them partially on client computers which is just one huge security flaw

wheat plume
old marlin
#

Q1 2020 seems realistic if what he claims is true

halcyon moss
#

did he make a post on indigogo? :p

#

no

#

@old marlin i dont see that post

#

oh wait thats an old post

old marlin
#

not that old

#

not sure if he updated on indiegogo yet

halcyon moss
#

yeah... some rando forum :p

old marlin
#

not really random

#

it is big in the mouse community

#

and the biggest community for ninox even before the astrum

halcyon moss
#

still not where I paid the money

old marlin
#

well, as he described, he wanted to use indiegogo as something to make announcements essential to the development

#

something like a "the project is not dead" update every now and then should have been there though

#

do a few larger updates to show what you have done the last quarter year

halcyon moss
#

There have been plenty of updates that he could have communicated on indigogo. I'm not happy with his update strategy.

fickle ore
#

ugh I forgot I got this mouse comming

#

what the hell will I do with it now

#

can it go 50g? idk

halcyon moss
#

50g? are you launching it in a rocket or something?

fickle ore
#

wat

#

my UL2 is 50g

old marlin
#

ul2 doesn't even have a coating

fickle ore
#

besides I need something close to 50g

#

otherwise RSI

#

UL2 doesnt need coating it has holes for grip

#

ohwell, it has same fw as zaunkoening so it can be fun for testing

#

can see whether I notice a diff of 2ms vs UL2

halcyon moss
#

g forces? :p

wheat plume
#

I just has a 1mb update, 6 packages xd

#

what

halcyon moss
#

how is that strange?

safe patrol
#

The UL2 looks waaaay to small for me.
My corsair mouse is probably more like 150g

old marlin
#

corsair mice suck

#

all their shapes are terrible

#

got a kone pure ultra yesterday

#

that is a nice mouse

safe patrol
#

@old marlin - tell your guy in NL that I'll sell my YOTP to him but I'd need to know sooner than later

old marlin
#

yea

#

wasn't teh guy I thought he was

#

btw, how much are you sellign for?

safe patrol
#

Right now I just want to get back what I put in

#

I'm not gonna fight 100other people on eBay for a -chance- to make money

wheat plume
#

@old marlin I have a kone xtd

#

is gud mows

old marlin
#

kpne pure is copmpletely different

wheat plume
#

how so?

old marlin
#

smaller

safe patrol
#

I need a thicc mouse

old marlin
#

the kone pure ultra is wide

#

and almsot nobody needs mice that are the size of corsair mice

#

unless you have gigantic hands

#

and even then their shapes are still shit

old marlin
#

oh

#

seen the elecom huge?

chrome estuary
#

I like the m570 but check out the MX Ergo

old marlin
#

no

old marlin
#

fml

#

still wrangling with blender

#

atm trying to make a fire at a certain point, got the smoke emitter and domain all set up

#

but the domain is just filled with smoke until it is supposed to start emitting

crimson wigeon
#

I don't know blending but try something simple like hiding it until it's time to emit

#

Now AMD delivers Turing Integer Scaling as well, but it's supported on all GCN and up cards thonk

ashen spindle
#

Funnily enough intel were the first to implement that lul

old marlin
#

not like artificial hardware separation is something new with nvidia

ashen spindle
#

intel did it then nvidia then amd

#

so amd is last to implement integer scaling in this case

old marlin
#

well yea

#

not saying AMD is the quickest with anything

#

just that their implementation is usually the most open

thick elk
#

It's not like integer scaling is a new technique, the gpu makers just didn't realize there was any interest in enabling direct support for it.

ashen spindle
#

yup

#

also linux is a pita sometimes, having to make everything work is often not what I prefer over a bloated software that works

#

anyone happen to use lighttpd and know how I can fix "wasm streaming compile failed: TypeError: Response has unsupported MIME type"

thick elk
#

sadly no, don't really have a lot of experience with webservers

ashen spindle
#

yes but I dont know how to make it work

fair gull
#

@ashen spindle psure that means the lighttpd config doesnt have the mime type

#

add it to its config

#

or dont use lighttpd

ashen spindle
#

I know that much, but what is "it" that I have to add

fair gull
#

.wasm

#

as application/wasm

#

so any program knows its a wasm file

ashen spindle
#

ah I thought I did that

#

turns out

#

the smartass linking his config linked the one he had BEFORE he added it

#

thanks

fair gull
#

why use wasm tho

ashen spindle
#

wait what, its my mistake if the guy links the wrong config version?

#

because I cba figuring out googles NaCl to make my c++ stuff run in browser

fair gull
#

use blazor and make it c# apps

ashen spindle
#

for c# I'd just use unity and set webgl as compile target

fair gull
#

yikes

ashen spindle
#

oh ye ye

#

well still didn't work lmao

#

eh just gonna ask our backend dev at work tomorrow

fair gull
#

how do u run the webassembly anyway

ashen spindle
#

using emscripten to covert it to asm.js/html/wasm/idk what else it spits out

#

so I run it by having the files on a server and opening the html site

fair gull
#

why not use browser side functions

ashen spindle
#

because I dont know anything about that

#

I just want to do some c++ stuff and have it run on a website

#

emscripten seemed the best way for that

fair gull
#

oh just saw chrome cant natively build wasm code

#

firefox has js tags to run wasm directly

ashen spindle
#

ye emscripten is a project from mozilla

#

also fuck whoever decided on that name

fair gull
#

ik but i didnt know if chrome had it natively embedded yet

ashen spindle
#

did anyone mention java?

fair gull
#

wha

#

emscripten

#

not js

ashen spindle
#

yea but you can type and pronounce javascript

#

emscpdsafjgkdfs is not something I can pronounce without trying thrice

#

or type

fair gull
#

em scripten

#

not hard

#

e m script en

#

psure its pronounced E M scripten

ashen spindle
#

most prevalent use of wasm in a 2019 study was malicious crypto mining KEKW

fair gull
#

anyway idk how to get wasm running in chrome

#

only use firefox

ashen spindle
#

I meant I dont care about the browser, same issue in both for me

fair gull
#

u got the wasm file?

#
WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch('simple.wasm'), importObject)
.then(results => {
  // Do something with the results!
});
#

unless u already have problems getting the wasm file

#

as in compile code to wasm

ashen spindle
#

I have the file

#

I have an html js and wasm file

fair gull
#

i mean not sure what its supposed to do (your code)

ashen spindle
#

m8 this is some 4k lines of code in the javascript file, I aint fixing shit in that

fair gull
#

the fuck did u convert to wasm

#

doom?

ashen spindle
#

that

fair gull
#

oh well gl then

#

the html file should have everything in it tho

#

to load the shit

ashen spindle
#

idk it doesnt conaint"wasm" or "weba" when I seach for that

fair gull
#

the html loads the js

ashen spindle
#

ill askk the guy at work tomorrow first, not gonna dive into JS if I dont have to

crimson wigeon
#

I dunno I just tried a simple emscripten hello world and it just worked, I use the Python SimpleHTTPServer tho

ashen spindle
#

ye the conversion seems to be fine, just running it on my server seems to not work right now

#

but I also dont really want to add a different http services now and reconfigure everything

crimson wigeon
#

Also just works with nginx which is what everyone uses anyway for some reason

ashen spindle
#

hm good to know, maybe I will use that over lighttpd if needed then

fair gull
#

most people use nginx cause it scales the best rn

safe patrol
#

nginx ===== good

maiden crater
#

If I have an amd r9 390 and a ryzen 3400g can the graphics powers add up?

#

Or would I be losing one for the other

ashen spindle
#

you cant combine them

old marlin
#

@zenith sonnet I know you are good with monitors

#

What is the best one at under or around 250€?

#

Or rather, are the best ones, I doubt there is a clear winner st such a pricepoint

supple latch
#

Did you guys see the Acer laptop with the linear keyboard?

#

They called it the magforce keys

old marlin
#

Yea, uses hall effect

#

On 4 keys

#

Rest is rubber domes

supple latch
#

I mean, I never used the linear fonction of the wooting on other keys than wasd

zenith sonnet
#

@old marlin There's so many models, it's impossible to know them all, really
What's good mostly depends on your usecase...

old marlin
#

well something 144hz would be nice

#

been looking at an LG ultragear for ~230

#

I don't knwo shit about monitors though

#

LG Electronics UltraGear 27GL63T-B

zenith sonnet
#

Do you use it in a dim or a bright room?

old marlin
#

well

#

depends on how bright it is outside

zenith sonnet
#

FHD, WQHD, UHD?

old marlin
#

ratehr dim though

#

WQHD and UHD aren't a good option if I want high refresh rate at that pricepoint

zenith sonnet
#

True

old marlin
#

even ultrawide is a stretch

#

if I had and infinite amount of money that would be different

zenith sonnet
#

Well, you can find WQHD 144Hz TN-panels at around that price point, I believe

old marlin
#

yeaaaa

#

but those look like shit

zenith sonnet
#

Doesn't seem like the 27GL63T-B uses one of their new NanoIPS panels at first glance

#

But also not sure they even make a FHD version of it

old marlin
#

hmmm

#

the 1440p one is like 480 euros

#

damn

#

for the freesync model

#

no wait

zenith sonnet
#

Every monitor has one or the other issue, unfortunately
The only ones that do overdrive right are the ones with G-Sync Ultimate or whatever modules and the 27GL850

old marlin
#

wdym with overdrive?

#

I come from 75hz so everything will be a huge improvement

zenith sonnet
#

Pixel response time curve

old marlin
#

is the more expensive 1440p 144hz ultragear just calibrated?

#

27GL83A-B vs 27GL850-B

zenith sonnet
#

Most monitors have several overdrive settings, all of which only work for a limited Hz range

old marlin
#

like 70 euro price difference

#

yea

#

my ultrawide runs at 1ms

zenith sonnet
#

And are either too slow for higher refresh rates, or introduce significant overshoot, which leads to ghosting

old marlin
#

at least it claims it does

zenith sonnet
#

Just saw the 27GL83
Seems to be a version of the 27GL850 that's Amazon exclusive and lacks HDR10

#

Not sure if there are other differences

#

It's also 100$ cheaper

#

I assume they sell their panels that didn't make binning that way

old marlin
#

has HDR10 according to geizhals

#

not sure where they pulled the datasheet from

#

could be

#

tbh I could care a lot less for 100% color accuarcy

zenith sonnet
#

Clearly lacks HDR10 spec from the LG website

old marlin
#

since it is mostly bullshit nayways

zenith sonnet
#

Maybe they get it wrong because it uses the same panel?

#

HDR10 is pretty worthless, true
Colours look a bit better

#

That's about all it does

old marlin
#

yea

zenith sonnet
#

It lacks the dynamic backlight for true HDR

old marlin
#

they claim HDR 10 for the cheaper one too though

zenith sonnet
#

But they probably didn't bother because the panel has poor contrast

old marlin
#

it could legit just be a "toned down" version

#

isntead of a binned one

zenith sonnet
#

Well, 800:1 static

old marlin
#

where they just didn't calibrate as well

#

to create a market gap

zenith sonnet
#

Not too big of an issue, I feel

old marlin
#

and undercut the otehr 500 euro monitors

zenith sonnet
#

The only real downside is IPS glow

Gets significantly stronger if you're closer than 60-70cm to the display, further away it's alright
But still, you notice it playing a dim game like Witcher 3 in a dim room

old marlin
#

it looses the USB hub lol

zenith sonnet
#

But motion clarity it's probably the best on the market

old marlin
#

maybe I can expand the budget a little

#

gues I'll see how christmas turn out for me lol

zenith sonnet
#

I've settled for it
It's the only 144Hz I found that I thought is worth spending money for, until we get something good with at least HDR600, probably 2020 or 2021

#

But every other monitor on the market has poor overdrive, and it's noticeable, even on my Eizo FS2735, and that's one of the best displays that uses the older AU Optronics panel

#

If you want cheaper, buy TN, honestly

#

Still, the LG panel edges out many TN panels, it's that fast
And gets the benefits and issues of IPS, lol

Copypaste of my message in other server:

I have a few questions to people who tape their laptop webcams:

  1. Why don't you tape the microphone as well? Audio is more vulnerable than video, as you probably can't hear casual intimate conversations (like sharing banking details) with video feed only.
  2. What do you do when you want to video call your fiance? You plug in external camera or remove that tape to then put it back in place afterwards?
  3. Wouldn't you notice a significant difference in battery drain speed if the camera was always on? Wouldn't you hear the camera adjusting focus? Wouldn't you see the indicator light next to the camera when it's on?
  4. What embarrassing actions you do in front of your laptop that you don't want anyone to see? Drink a coffe at Starbucks? Watch YouTube in bed? Play a game sitting in front of a desk?
  5. Why don't you tape cameras on your phone as well? Average person uses their phone more than their computers on daily basis and the amount of malicious apps you can install on your phone is far greater than amount of viruses that may end up on your laptop.

Don't have a laptop, but

  1. Mic works fine when taped, but it's also the more interesting point of attack
  2. People I know either never use the webcam or remove the tape every time
  3. Yes, yes, yes, at least if you pay attention to your hardware. That's also why I'd personally not tape it
  4. Most people just do it because others do it, I believe
  5. And it doesn't even have an indicator light!

  1. Asked wife, she says it'd be to inconvenient
old marlin

apparently some far left groups tape their phone cameras

wheat plume
#

arent the far left the people that hate everything?

old marlin
#

yea

#

the ones I mean do it because of fear for the state

wheat plume
#

no no, I mean, are they the ones that hate everyone who isnt male and straight and white?

old marlin
#

oh

#

well they can hate anything and everything

wheat plume
#

qhh

old marlin
#

I wouldn't say that their hate is very specific

wheat plume
#

I see

harsh terrace
#

Have to agree there

halcyon moss
#

My laptop has a shutter on the webcam builtin..
I wish my mic had a physical disable button too, but i'd have to do with a software mute switch.
I wish my phone had the shutter too

#

Unfortunately phone cams have a lot of sensors close to it, so its harder to block with some sort of slider shutter

#

any recommendations for a TPM that doesnt have security issues

#

nvm theres only one for my mainboard

fair gull
#

trusted platform module

#

makes bitlocker a shit ton faster

#

and encryption in general

#

psure they also store keys etc

#

and access to fulldrive encryption without passwords etc altho its prob still better to use one

reef patrol
#

I call those... money

#

Windows Defender always whines about TPM modules needing firmware updates. Easy money ablobjoy

fair gull
#

i just dont want

#

uh

#

the law to just

#

uh

#

see shit

reef patrol
#

Realistically they'll just ask your ISP 😄

fair gull
#

so they gonna get a shit ton of connections to pmuch nowhere

#

only normal websites anyone would visit

reef patrol
fair gull
#

luckily no

#

data on my gdrive

#

dont want decrypt pws to be stolen

#

so they can just take it off me?

#

no

#

rather use tpm and just dont tell anyone the password to decrypt the drive

#

well one might claim i am sharing copyrighted files

#

cause bitlocker cant do that without a tpm

#

well it technically can

#

but not really

#

thats not how it works in germany m8

#

luks for windows yes

#

thats also not how it works

#

what

#

im not called mage

#

why spend money on an old machine when i can achieve my goal for 12bucks

#

well i wanna use it cause it does work

#

i mean the IFX chips did have a security bug

#

but it got fixed with a firmware update

#

and windows tells u if there is one

#

well the IFX issue was that they basically seeded the keys shitty

#

but that was fixed like 2 years ago

#

software tpm does have a shit ton of flaws rn

reef patrol
#

Happened to a few authors a while back - big drama.

fair gull
#

the gdrive thingy?

#

as in data being deleted?

reef patrol
#

Yep. Suddenly their stuff gone from their cloud drives. No warning or recovery option. Some kind of algorithm match.

well i do know that the drive i got it from existed for well over 2 years

so

i will say its prob save

if not idc anyway

we found the issue, the version of lighttpd I have seems to be set up with a different config layout, the mime typing had to be put into a file that was placed elsewhere

I ended up buying a screw after I accidentally bumped it one day and it bsod me

TL;DW:
SMT on is 1% slower on average, in average FPS.
SMT on is 1% faster on average, in 1% low FPS.

thats a 3900x

fair gull

so?

ashen spindle

was less about smt in general, but more if windows scheduler has still issues with over 24threads or whatever the last issue was at

what copyright claims

TIL Nginx is russian

nginx has HQ in the US

pale sigil
#

Moscow police executed the raid after last week that the Rambler Group filed a copyright violation against NGINX Inc., claiming full ownership of the NGINX web server code.

#

Yes

#

According to the copies of the search order published on Twitter today, Rambler states that Igor Sysoev developed NGINX while working as a system administrator for the company, therefore, they are the rightful owners of the project.

#

Sysoev never denied creating NGINX while working at Rambler. In a 2012 interview, Sysoev said he developed NGINX in his spare time and that Rambler didn't even know for years. He said the server was first implemented on the websites Rate.ee and zvuki.ru and Rambler started using it only after a colleague asked about it.

fair gull
#

psure thats not how copyright works

#

so the guy wrote FOSS shit

#

released it under a BSD license

#

and now sues people even tho no one claims they own it

but its known since years the dude wrote it

You have no rights in mother russia

Nginx (pronounced "engine X",[8] /ˌɛndʒɪnˈɛks/ EN-jin-EKS) (stylized as NGINX or nginx or NginX) is a web server which can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache. The software was created by Igor Sysoev and first publicly released in 2004.[9] A company of the same name was founded in 2011 to provide support and Nginx plus paid software.[10]

Nginx is free and open-source software, released under the terms of a BSD-like license. A large fraction of web servers use NGINX,[11] often as a load balancer.[12]

old marlin

there is a reason why there are no low latency hifi headphones

misty saffron
#

no noticeable latency with my arctis 7

#

🤷‍♂️

zenith sonnet
#

Noticing latency is always difficult if you don't have a point of reference

#

But the brain is very good at handling audio delay, since the speed of sound is fairly slow and introduces a lot of latency in real life as well

#

Different usecase, though

#

But yeah, if you need to react to audio cues, and they are delayed, you're screwed

#

Although

#

If games' netcode can react to network latency, why don't rhythm games introduce code that accounts for audio delay?

#

Tbh, I've no idea how much audio delay my system has

#

How'd you even measure that?

@reef patrol Seen the new AMD driver "2020 Edition" yet?

AMD has a lot of cool tech. Just wish they'd have better engineers for their GPU division.

Let's just hope they do actually have them

#

AMD just can't compete with nVidia on performance and power bill.

zenith sonnet
#

It also has some work of dynamic boost/upscaling algorithm now

#

It can compete on power

reef patrol
#

I mean kind of in general.

zenith sonnet
#

But it can't compete with the 2080 Super and 2080 Ti cards

#

Well, 2080 Super isn't super far ahead

#

But the 2080 Ti is in an own league

#

AMD just doesn't have a chip that big atm

#

But perf/watt they're mostly even

#

If you OC, Nvidia mostly wins that one
If you UV, AMD usually takes the crown

#

Other than that, the 5700XT is 100-150€ cheaper than the 2070 Super, and maybe 5-8% or so slower

idk my vsc and vs both take around 2 secs to boot fully

dapper ridge
#

dont even get me started with VS

#

that thing on my laptop takes longer than any jetbrains product

fair gull
#

since vs 2019 its damn fast

dapper ridge
#

oh well

#

maybe

#

Ive never tried vs 2019

#

mainly cause vs sucks

fair gull
#

well i only have vs cause of some projects

#

mostly use vsc

dapper ridge
#

I use vsc as my simple editor

#

like scripts and stuff

#

or test stuff in C and C#

#

but if im workin on a large project

#

jetbrains all day

fair gull
#

id still use vsc

dapper ridge
#

you have made that fairly clear from our convo yesterday

fair gull
#

dont see any advantage to jetbrains stuff

dapper ridge
#

all I see are disadvantages with vsc

#

:p

fair gull
#

even tho i have intellij ult license

dapper ridge
#

writing scripts for work today

#

urg

#

I forgot how much work I have to put into coding

#

gotta do all the work myself with vsc

#

lol it even slows me down

#

when it tries to autocomplete

#

it is 50% of the time wrong

#

and puts something similar in that I am not intending to use

#

and because the bindings dont match what I use in jetbrains

#

I often accidentally insert it

fair gull
#

never had any of those issues

#

except

#

some really obscure

#

node plugins that dont have docs

dapper ridge
#

eh, I just dont like it for big projects

#

it works ok for smaller stuff

#

I mean im using it

#

so it cant be that bad

#

minor annoyances

fair gull
#

i mean whats a big project for u

crimson wigeon
#

Better switch to Atom then because it's hackable so you can make it whatever you want it to be

dapper ridge
#

couple hundred files, about 100mb or larger usually

fair gull
#

300files? 2000 files?

#

@crimson wigeon so is vsc

crimson wigeon
#

It's not as hackable

fair gull
#

yes, yes it is

dapper ridge
#

eh

#

im not a fan of atom

#

I tried it once

crimson wigeon
#

Is anyone? Shit's giga slow

dapper ridge
#

went immediately back to sublime

fair gull
#

oh noe sublime

dapper ridge
#

lol

#

tbh

#

I miss sublime

#

one of my favorite editors

#

I used to do everything in sublime

fair gull
#

i prefer npp over sublime

dapper ridge
#

idk it was just the feel of it

#

really worked for me

#

never had trouble using it

#

but vsc is easier to install

#

and no license
