Atleast that is what im using as excuse

[wheat plume]

LOL

I never knew Chris Titus was working on this script BUT DAMN ITS AN AMAZING SCRIPT and I used it tday on my laptop and it installed and riced Arch + Plasma for me automatically

ArchTitus

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus

you just boot into a live session of Arch
and run this

and it does the rest

it just asks you

1. what drive to install to
2. username
3. password
   and you done

automatically

[crimson wigeon]

tfw ricing these days is just installing packages

[wheat plume]

it did set my keyboard to USA but that is not an issue to change that

idk, check the script to see

I know it also detects your GPU and installs the suitable drivers

This is mostly for him to use xd and he welcomes people to fork it to improve it if they want

OMFH, his livestreams while making this are like 5 hours each

dammnn

Yeah, im using the "Enhancer for youtube" extension

Firefox been pushing it a lot lately so I tried it

this does that also

ooooohhhhhh

This doesnt seem to be open source

Yeah, they have been promoting it too

I have it also installed on my Youtube sandbox, which uses Chrome to render the site

no

my chrome container

xd

yeah, for browsing and whatnot

but not youtube

Ice!

its on AUR named ice-ssb

🤔 oh?

Is that what the "install" button on Chrome does if you go to youtube for the first time?

so does the install button

it creates this .desktop file

seems so!

cause I had that installed and for some reason, the islated profiles dontr work on Chromium

so if I lofgged into this container. the main chromium window would also log in

not sure

snappy

which I never heard of before

[crimson wigeon]

mkfs.btrfs -L "ROOT" "${DISK}p2" -f

[wheat plume]

I thought snappy was related to snap packages until I saw it give output after doing the update command

ooohh

Maybe

O.o

The fact my laptop is COLD AF rn, suggests that the case is made of some sort of metal

That makes me happy

Yeah, I just booted to gparted and it is indeed BTRFS

Ooooo.... Hell yeah
That's nice

;-;

TLDW: Search functions are too powerful, no one thinks about where anything is stored, they just search to get it

[latent mural]

okay, what does that have to do with folders

[wheat plume]

they dont need to know wherre the file is

the search just opens it for you when you search for it

[latent mural]

sounds like search is doing its job

[wheat plume]

it is

too good, that no one knows where the files really are

[latent mural]

if you want something to be infuriated about go to an amazon listing for a 12tb+ hard drive and see people complaining about 1tb+ 'firmware' bc windows uses binary units

[wheat plume]

wut

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, literally me. Or another alternative is that I have everything on desktop, but usually end up using search function, even though it’s sometimes strange

[reef patrol]

It's a valid complaint.

Manufacturers could use labels for practical use, not theoretical ones.

[latent mural]

12tb drives show up as 10.9tb in windows because windows uses different units to hard drive manufacturers

[reef patrol]

In fact it has been done here and there.

[latent mural]

wdym? they're labelling their stuff accurately

[reef patrol]

PRACTICAL

[shadow minnow]

The tb thing is usually just manufacturers not using, well, you could say proper conversion

Since almost always 1 TB is meant as 1 000… bytes

[latent mural]

considering storage isn't like ram and doesn't have to use binary prefixes, it would be more practical for windows to change and use decimal prefixes, no?

[reef patrol]

No.

[latent mural]

why?

[wheat plume]

TIL you can use cat to make a bootable USB drive.....

[reef tundra]

It concatenates all the files and print that to stdout

[ashen spindle]

..how long are you using Linux for xD

[wheat plume]

Uh.....Almost 6 years now

[ashen spindle]

Or rather, what were you using instead

[wheat plume]

gnome disks xd

[reef tundra]

dd is the way

[wheat plume]

Disk Destroyer!

🤔

It needs sudo?

[reef tundra]

😏 Does exactly what you tell it to do

You are trying to write to the device 🤷 so yes?

[wheat plume]

but in this video it didnt need sudo

[reef tundra]

If you are the root user..

[wheat plume]

but he wasnt

[reef tundra]

Also wouldnt recomment that way. Fragmentation and premature flushing of the buffers might be an worry

[wheat plume]

oohh

[wheat plume]

Nick Collodion process

[iron wave]

He's great.

[obtuse condor]

So if u ordered pre ordered a keyboard like recently when will that arrive like November like it says because there is batch 1 and 2 so am I on batch 2 or something if I do

[inland saddle]

yes we are batch 2

it should arrive some time in late november, maybe early october depending on where u are

[halcyon moss]

using cat to write to a block device :S

[reef tundra]

The only cat I know is lolcat

[halcyon moss]

720p display, still the same shitty controls, still garbage hardware.

Bruh.

The only reason it isn't considered a bastard relic of 2013 is that Nintendo is selling it.
Why anyone would pay this much instead of buying a Steam Deck I have 0 comprehension.

[cursive summit]

Zelda

Pokemon

[young pecan]

I dare go as far as to say if it didn't have the capability to connect to Ninty's ecosystem it'd be widely considered ewaste, especially since the Steam Deck exists.

[cursive summit]

Other intellectual property of Nintendo

You don't buy it cause it's good

[young pecan]

Yep, but the console is still utter garbage.

Ffs, Nintendo, make something good pls.

[cursive summit]

You buy it cause you can't play Nintendo's games otherwise

Same shit with PS5 and PS4

You don't buy it cause it's good, cause it's not

You buy it cause of exclusives

[young pecan]

So happy those are largely ending...

[cursive summit]

The only console I would be willing to justify as "good" is MAYBE Xbox ones

Cause you have that cool sandbox mode

[young pecan]

Seems Sony understands that being a juggernaut like Valve is a smarter play.

[cursive summit]

But still, PC is the only thing you ever need

Also Xbox nowadays costs like at least 2x less than an equivalent power PC

So, value is there, since chips are scarce

When world goes from chip shortage to chip oversupply, then consoles are irrelevant again

[young pecan]

Fuck I can't wait for chip oversupply.

[cursive summit]

Man can't wait to get a 6800XT for 350$ in 2024

[young pecan]

Chip oversupply is going to be hilarious for mining.

I can only imagine all of the ASICs at 40% off.

[old marlin]

The current gen xbox gets it's value from gamepass imo

Also first console since a while that hasn't been a bad value vs a pc

[cursive summit]

Do you lads think the Deck will be a good portable tiny PC?

Like a NUC would

For content consumption, maybe even portable PC for productivity

[young pecan]

Fuck yeah.

@cursive summit Dude you could use it to parsec into your full PC.

Extreme pog.

[cursive summit]

Thing is

I need a PC for my LG CX

4K TV

I don't intend to spend more than a thousand

If the Deck could pack enough power for my TV, then fuck yeah I might actually get it

It even has that Switch-like dock

[earnest jay]

A 4K gaming PC for under 1000. 😆

As long as it has DLSS2.0 capable graphics card and you're willing to play on ultra performance DLSS, you might be able to succeed within that price range.

[cursive summit]

I don't need a 4K necessarily gaming PC

It'd be cool if I could do gaming on it, that'd be sick

It should just be able to run windows and prolly some less demanding games with FSR or DLSS

[earnest jay]

Ahh, you made it sound like you wanted a 4k gaming capable PC, my bad. 😆

[cursive summit]

Nah I have a normal PC for that

[earnest jay]

Hehehe.

[cursive summit]

I wish Valve would publish the specifications for that dock

[earnest jay]

Only time will tell.

I myself am curious to test out my new PC(once it's built) on my TV, see what'll be like.

[cursive summit]

To be fair that does sound like something a Gengar would say

[earnest jay]

https://tenor.com/view/gengar-gif-22867975

[little raptor]

Steam deck lol

https://c.tenor.com/7NdBVF53PM4AAAAM/laughing-rofl.gif

[cursive summit]

Console cunt or nintendo apologetic detected

[halcyon moss]

woah woah woah, that seems like an overreaction there vexxocide

[cursive summit]

Jesus you make me sound like I've commited an act of war crimes

No sane human being that's not a troll would call a good piece of hardware "lol"

Trolls get ridiculous statements right back at them

Then again Deck does have some teeny weeny issues with it like the screen, etc

[halcyon moss]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-to-conclusion-think-again-go-wild-moot-no-gif-17140256

[wheat plume]

whats wrong with the screen?

[cursive summit]

720p non OLED afaik

[wheat plume]

so?

[cursive summit]

Resolution is really not great, panel tech is eh

Also isn't it 60Hz?

[wheat plume]

yep

[cursive summit]

That's probably the saddest part of the Deck

[wheat plume]

Better battery life, better FPS in game

[cursive summit]

Could be a 1080p OLED 120Hz panel for the top end model

[wheat plume]

win / win

[halcyon moss]

its not the best, but its also probably very fine

[wheat plume]

^^

[halcyon moss]

i do hope its variable refresh rate

[wheat plume]

the switch isnt a problem for 99% of people

[cursive summit]

As long as it's always docked I guess

[halcyon moss]

vrr would be nice because it isnst the most powerful hardware.

[wheat plume]

No news when the Dock will be released

Or the price

[cursive summit]

Hopefully by the time Deck starts shipping

[wheat plume]

It ships from December to July

[cursive summit]

We still have November and first part of December probably to get news about it

[wheat plume]

I dont get this guy

[halcyon moss]

clickbait headlines

[wheat plume]

Hes made like 10 videos on why it will succeed

[cursive summit]

Yeah me neither

[wheat plume]

and then "will fail"

[cursive summit]

Gotta get those clicks

[halcyon moss]

he's been showing up in my recommendations lately too -_-

[cursive summit]

Deck won't fail at all, it will defo see widespread adoption among certain people

I just don't see it becoming a really popular thing to be fair

[wheat plume]

I can predict some people being angry and pissed off that their fav game wont run

Hopefully with "Great on Deck" system, that number will lessen

[cursive summit]

So it has DP 1.4 support

Which is amazing for the LG CX cause 4K@120Hz

But no upscaling I bet

[halcyon moss]

the amd upscaling thing would work

[cursive summit]

1080p should upscale pretty nicely to 4K

[wheat plume]

Valve have said it runs the same docked and not docked

so performance wont change when docked

[halcyon moss]

but.. the hardware isnt strong enough for most games at 4k

[wheat plume]

^^

Thats why its a 720p screen

[cursive summit]

We weren't talking about the perf changes at all

[wheat plume]

to give it the best chance to reach 60fps

[crimson wigeon]

Older games though

[cursive summit]

Imagine it had Thunderbolt support

Unlimited power

But yeah, it won't cause thanks Intel

[wheat plume]

wut

There are new AMD laptops with thunderbolt ports

[cursive summit]

There are not?

[wheat plume]

Wait, mobos

not laptops

The new Asus boards have thunderbolt

[cursive summit]

No existing AMD product supports TB3-4

Afaik

[wheat plume]

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme

that has thunderbolt 4

[halcyon moss]

how about usb-4? :p

[cursive summit]

Don't think we know if eGPUs work on that just yet

[halcyon moss]

apparently there are indeed no thunderbolt AMD laptops

or usb4

[wheat plume]

Yeah, no laptops
but mobos, yes

[cursive summit]

The controllers are I think still Intel's licensed property

[wheat plume]

2 currently AFAIK

[halcyon moss]

(in tweakers.net pricewatch)

[cursive summit]

USB4 just works at Thunderbolt 4 speeds

[wheat plume]

Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme
Asus ProArt blahblah etc

[cursive summit]

I don't think it literally gives you PCIe lanes

[cursive summit]

Not a word on eGPU support on these motherboards

But logically thinking, if processor doesn't have the controller, it really can't support eGPU can it

[wheat plume]

They are desktop mobos
IDK how many people use eGPUs on desktops?

[cursive summit]

Well I would definitely use eGPU on a Steam Deck

[wheat plume]

True

[cursive summit]

Or maybe even an Intel NUC

Which is technically, a desktop

[wheat plume]

Technically... yes xd

Same for my last computer, that was technically a desktop but with laptop ram, cmos battery and gpu

[cursive summit]

Although according to this

https://egpu.io/forums/desktop-computing/asus-proart-b550-creator-thunderbolt-4/

Apparently that board does actually support eGPU

So, the motherboard somehow does supply PCIe lanes to the port

[wheat plume]

it can do VR

[halcyon moss]

the question is.. how well 🙂

[wheat plume]

Yep

[halcyon moss]

i had no doubt that it could do it. my current laptop with a 1050 maxq can do it

[wheat plume]

Plasma <3

[halcyon moss]

ok, im taking bets on how long Lana will change the distro on her deck

[wheat plume]

Nah

xd

I want to run it stock

[young pecan]

Oh now this is pretty.

[wheat plume]

That is literally stock Plasma desktop :')

with desktop icons

[young pecan]

Plasma on SteamDeck tho.

:D

[wheat plume]

yeah xd

SteamOS is Plasma + Arch Linux

best combo

GG Valve

[halcyon moss]

i can finally say.. "i run arch btw"

[wheat plume]

no! you run SteamOS!

It reached 42C while playing CP2077

Not bad

[halcyon moss]

very good

[wheat plume]

Im so hyped.....

Im in such a late batch though ;-;

Wait...The website shows the Dock attaches to the bottom

What ports on the bottom of the Deck?! The USB C is at the top

[young pecan]

Not getting the first gen SteamDeck.

Honestly I'm thinking if this kicks off, which it will, it'll really get em making more hardware.

1080p OLED display isn't impossible, that's what I'm waiting for.

[wheat plume]

I wonder will Valve have a launch game?

[young pecan]

Switch Pro but it's NG+.

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah HL3 will be secretly preinstalled on all Decks

[wheat plume]

Why must you press B to launch games?

[halcyon moss]

cable

[wheat plume]

oh....it is A

It's using the Xbox ABXY layout

Oh fun.... now I will have my Switch and Steam Deck and A and B will be swapped and X and Y will be swapped :')

Going to get extra confusing

[halcyon moss]

haha could you imagine that? 😄 that would suck for a simultaneous release though

[young pecan]

Ngl I want HL3 to just be confirmed dead instead of confirmed maybe dead but not quite so because Valve never says anything.

[wheat plume]

Schrodinger's Half Life

[young pecan]

It doesn't matter how good that game is, the expectations are so high that it's a guaranteed fail.

[wheat plume]

^^^

yeah

for sure

[young pecan]

I'm fairly sure it's the single most wanted thing in human history.

If not it's certainly top 10.

[wheat plume]

Also, Ellen herself confirmed there wont be HL3

[ashen spindle]

only reason I want it maybe, so I can trigger hardcore arch users

[wheat plume]

I think Ellen is pretty well trustworthy tbh

[young pecan]

Considering how big of a media form gaming is, would it be accurate to say more people want HL3 than anything else?

[halcyon moss]

Ellen?

[wheat plume]

The voice actor for GLaDOS

[halcyon moss]

ah

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/eDB_MXm3cEA?t=364

timestamped

[ashen spindle]

I mean they literally said Alyx was a sort of test to see if valve can still make games and then see how they would proceed from there

so uh, I don't think she can confirm or deny what isn't set in stone

[wheat plume]

he'll do something else

[young pecan]

Even so I don't think they're ever making HL3.

[wheat plume]

They arent

[young pecan]

Doing so is a recipe for suicide.

[wheat plume]

Definetly not

Ellen is so wonderful <3 I love her

[young pecan]

Trying to make something with expectations so immense is damn near impossible, even for the best of the best dev teams even assuming optimal conditions and workflow.

[ashen spindle]

... that video is not a confirmation that is her just saying what people think xD

[halcyon moss]

haha that intro

[young pecan]

You'd need the best of all leadership and teams combined to pull something that wack.

[wheat plume]

1,2 and 4!

[halcyon moss]

1, 2....

[wheat plume]

have you not seen this song before? @halcyon moss

https://youtu.be/jpw2ebhTSKs

[young pecan]

Maybe Yoko Taro's team leads since they seem to make nothing but masterworks when they get going, Ids team, old Bioware staff from the glory days, maybe some Sqenix people, especially their engine designers.

Then somehow wrap all of that up into an unholy package that somehow works, and maybe you have a shot.

[ashen spindle]

I mean I personally also don't think there will be one, but there is a massive difference between highly unlikely and unexpected and confirmed to not be coming

[young pecan]

Also Marty for sound design I guess since we're building a theoretically perfect team.

[ashen spindle]

like if we get gaben, robin or someone like that to say it, that is a confirmation

[wheat plume]

who'st'tf is Robin?

[ashen spindle]

one of the lead dev on TF2/alyx/portal/dota and one who appears in public more often

[wheat plume]

ooooohhhhhh

[ashen spindle]

someone whos "just" voice acting can say what they want but it's unlikely they either know what happens in management or if they do surely are under NDA

anyway this is tech-talk so

Who's ready for 512 thread Epyc CPU.

Quad CPU server, fuck it.

[crimson wigeon]

I want all the threads I can get

[young pecan]

If we're not pushing 2000 threads we're doing it wrong.

[ashen spindle]

it'll be Trento and MI250

not going to be zen4 already

trento is the custom zen3 epyc for Frontier

so custom IO-die and maybe v-cache

[young pecan]

Actually what is the theoretically most threads you can have on a modern PC?

Are octo CPU servers even possible?

[halcyon moss]

what are blade servers? 😉

(yeah yeah technically not that)

[young pecan]

Was about to say, those aren't 8 CPUs on a single motherboard.

I know we've had 4 on a single board before, have there been more?

[shadow minnow]

Feel bad for my ram. Again have my pc for a week so it has to live through more voltage increase attempts to get it stable at 4400mhz

[fair gull]

i havent ever seen 8 socket boards

[ashen spindle]

I don't think they exist

it would work just wouldn't make sense

extra latency and all that

4 socket already is a lot and beyond that you want multiples blades probably anyway

[young pecan]

I was more thinking uber high thread count servers. :D

Imagine opening task manager and having well above 4000 threads.

Instagib 500 instances of Cinebench R20.

https://www.freepatentsonline.com/11145126.pdf

Hmm

Rather new patent

https://wccftech.com/amd-zen-3-3d-vache-ryzen-cpus-enter-mass-production-next-month-zen-3-b2-stepping-available-end-of-december-alleges-rumor/

[latent mural]

Have you played any other grand strategy? Eu4 is by far the most accessible imho

[cursive summit]

HoI4, CK2 & 3

I started off with CK2

It took me days to navigate through the UI

I am thinking of attempting Vicky 2 with Blackice

[latent mural]

Weird, I seem to be physically unable to understand Hoi but EU and ck2/3 are piss easy in comparison

[cursive summit]

HoI 4 imo is the easiest

CK3 second to it, due to how they made it far more accessible

Last place is shared between CK2 and EU4, imo they are both similar 😄

[wheat plume]

🤔 Everyone?

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah you need to do an ateveryone and ask

[wheat plume]

Xd

[empty wren]

Oof to the last bulletpoint

[wheat plume]

Pi NAS

[empty wren]

Yeah that is gonna suck

[timid chasm]

penis?

[wheat plume]

Pinas

[timid chasm]

lul

[empty wren]

Aka the elegant way to say penis

Yes

It will take a while

To slowly run down through the chain

Probably will become one just like custom magisk hide as that is dead

Hmm

[wheat plume]

I want

Pixel 6

My sister is ordering one today

big jealous

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RJ-vLLwDPU

Oh suuuure post this updated version after my paste ships

[reef tundra]

Buying hunderds in equipment to save ten money units what a great investment

[shadow minnow]

Tablets adding a notch same way MacBook did would imo be bad tbh. From design standpoint design should imo be on top, if device can be used only in one orientation (can’t be on side), however in other cases it should always be on the shorter side

[crisp granite]

better idea: bezels

sucks, but better than a notch in the fucking display

[empty wren]

Huh, you can use faceid in multiple orientations

[shadow minnow]

Saying from a design standpoint

[shadow minnow]

I would say it depends. If you have a way to fully hide the notch (it being optional, only possible with OLED and mini/micro led) if the users wants so, then why not.

[empty wren]

Okay notch on four sides den xD

[crisp granite]

how about we hang thel for his horrible ideas?

[shadow minnow]

Saying it should be on the shortest side. Well one of them, not that it should be on both left and right
But that’s not the case if device can be only used in landscape

[empty wren]

I rather have bezels

For speakers and holding a phone

[shadow minnow]

I would say it does not matter as much with MacBook since normal apps will essentially behaved as if it was bezel and can’t tell it apart since mini led. But if apps went arround would have been lot worse imo

[empty wren]

I am guessing applications will not use that area or display slightly more

[shadow minnow]

The way it’s done afaik is that display is 16:10 as it used to be under notch, and next to notch is normally only used for the bar with battery, time…

And yet it has chin

[empty wren]

So basically a status bar

[empty wren]

What you got to understand little bexin is that is the location where the ribbons get folded for connections

[shadow minnow]

This thing scares me. Not uniform bezels yet two not uniform notches

[shadow minnow]

Yeah but since there is notch. Otherwise would understand chin even though still would not be a fan of it. Mostly gone now luckily. I guess apple patent with iPhone X was what forced other companies to do it this way unfortunately

[empty wren]

The bezels really are not that bad

Some devices even have uniform bezels

The iphone XR had uniform bezels

[shadow minnow]

It’s more standard now. Just not sure why was not it back then. Since X had it. But may be legal stuff since it was done some different way probably

[empty wren]

Well also patents expire

Also that part makes a phone more expensive

For little gain

Actually note 10 seems to have the same chin as an iphone

But top and size bezels are so thin

[shadow minnow]

Tbh depends on how much but in some cases I would rather have bigger bezels just so they can be uniform

[empty wren]

On the sides they look non existent and on the top it is a sliver

[wheat plume]

i cant install Mendeley cause this...

how fix...

[empty wren]

contact your school i am assuming you only have office via student account

[wheat plume]

yeah

but it worked for my friends fine

[empty wren]

Maybe you can try installing the addin via file on the desktop.

[reef patrol]

Well there ya go.,

[empty wren]

Find the module online

If possible

Though I can see they disabled the store people be using grammerly or some crap which is cheating

[shadow minnow]

Surprisingly my iGPU can run battlefield V. It may be on lower details but it still looks quite good on low

[wheat plume]

who tf I email for this?!

[reef patrol]

Don't ask us. Ask your fucking school 😄

[wheat plume]

Yeah, idk who to email about it

Maybe computer services but their email address isnt public anymore

[reef patrol]

Again...how tf would we know 😄

[wheat plume]

and its midterm break

.-.

so they probably arent working

[reef patrol]

Then suffer. Or look for an IT department and pray they're still on duty for the teachers 😄

[crisp granite]

honestly, yeah

that

wtf kinda project are you doing that you need a pplugin

[wheat plume]

Mendeley for referencing

and bibliography

🤔

[shadow minnow]

Strange, heard reviewers saying it’s way better, best battery phone beating 13 pro max

[empty wren]

Brightness level is not stated

Also notifications and background apps influence the battery life before charge expectancy

[reef tundra]

[e-mail] 🤷

[wheat plume]

Thats the opposite of what they said in the videos that I saw

They said its not as long lasting as the iphone 13 pm

[misty saffron]

my 2 year old iphone 11 pro max lasts exactly 7.5 hours...

[wheat plume]

15-20% vs 30-40% left at the end of the day

[misty saffron]

remember when iphones had the worst battery life of all flagships?

not good times

[wheat plume]

wtf is a proper definition of Functional Point Analysis?!

Cant find one that makes sense at all

In terms of Software quality

[ashen spindle]

tf how is it now such a trend to announce thinks over a year before you can get it

[shadow minnow]

Yeah. My 6s plus at iOS 15 beta with 84% battery life was… not long lasting. Sometimes under 2 hours

*often

It’s dumb imo tbh

Unless it’s like a teaser for a game, or the thing, but announcing the whole thing…

[pale sigil]

Apple are facing shortages soon

afaik

[ashen spindle]

a laptop on yearly cycle and a new HMD that still needs devs on it is a very big difference...

[pale sigil]

They also make their own shit

so its not really about stockpile

[ashen spindle]

you can't stockpile what's not ready to be made...

Wasn't it Discord's QR login that was used to steal accounts?

[fair gull]

eh i dont think itll actually be that dramatic

like

people fall for dumber shit and thats not super blown out of proportions

[earnest jay]

The thing with Discord is that you can also use 2FA, so a hijacked account might not really get any where because of Steam's Steam Guard.

[young pecan]

2FA. <3

Multifactor is fucking epic.

[reef tundra]

Gaben literally told his password to the public

[earnest jay]

Randomly generated password manager passwords + 2FA is the best. 😆

[young pecan]

Then you mutlifactor the pass manager. :D

Ngl one of the things I'm hype about is eventually getting my implant so I can have another difficult key on top of everything else.

[earnest jay]

Though, make sure your 2FA isn't SMS codes. 😆

[young pecan]

This is actually fine if you also 2FA your SIM card with your service provider.

[earnest jay]

Hehehe.

[young pecan]

Can't fuck you up if they can't get your sim.

Just got an Edgeswitch 16 from a dude for 450 because apparently it was fucked and not doing what he wanted.

Man has firmware from 2 years ago on it.

[halcyon moss]

450 what? rubels?

[fair gull]

dont those cost like 430usd new

[young pecan]

AUD, my dude.

[halcyon moss]

ruppees?

[reef tundra]

450 reichmarks

[young pecan]

About 900 AUD here, because we get all of the tech last.

[fair gull]

damn

[young pecan]

Ikr.

[halcyon moss]

about €300 new here,

[fair gull]

same drakonen

[young pecan]

I mean shit, a Valve Index base station goes for almost 500 sometimes here.

Aus is big sad for tech.

[halcyon moss]

so uhm.. i weould call it a great deal.. but i dont know unify pricing in australia

[young pecan]

It's pretty much a new device, used for about a month before guy decided instead of returning that he wanted to marketplace it.

I'm game for half price.

[reef tundra]

Australia's government

[fair gull]

new on ubnt aus its 540aud

for the edge switch 16

[young pecan]

Not the right model.

https://www.ubnt.com.au/edgeswitch-16-xg-managed-aggregation-switch This thing.

I got this for 450. :p

[fair gull]

who

buys an aggregation switch

for home usage

[young pecan]

I wasn't gonna turn it down for 450.

[halcyon moss]

567,49 incl. btw

[fair gull]

id not even buy that for 450

[young pecan]

See, normally I wouldn't, but I actually can use the aggregation on it.

[fair gull]

unless it comes with sfp+ modules

i wouldnt use it

[young pecan]

It came with 4.

[fair gull]

fibre or 8p8c

[young pecan]

Fiber.

[fair gull]

eh

[young pecan]

Not incredible, but I can get em cheap from a mate.

[fair gull]

id still have to think about it hard

id have 1 singular use for it

which is my storage server

[young pecan]

The point is that I got the base for 10 gig for the uber cheap.

[fair gull]

the rest can easily live of 1gig

[young pecan]

Aye, that's true. I have almost no use for it.

Well, for now.

[fair gull]

at the point we get more than 1gig cheap for consumers as internet imma be able to just buy 8p8c switches that can do 2.5gigs or smth

[young pecan]

Well where's the fun in that?

[fair gull]

get good tech

not old af tech

which might not get firmware that long

[young pecan]

Why even bother going past gigabit for almost anything, if you're going to leap into it you may as well leap as far as possible.

[fair gull]

na only would leap so the server can server 10clients max speed

not that id ever have 10 clients

that actually suck a gig

[young pecan]

I just want a crazy tier networking setup for no reason.

More just to tinker around with.

It's why I went for the Ubiquiti stuff over that random set of enterprise Cisco a while ago.

Fuck Cisco and Ubiquiti has more options that aren't CBT anyway.

[fair gull]

with ubiquiti i would personally go unifi tho

since you still get edgeos ssh

but also nice managed

[young pecan]

My current backbone is Unifi rn.

Currently the plan is fiber from the UDM Pro into the new switch and run pure 10 gig LAN that way.

Then I guess use my current switch for something else.

[fair gull]

i really want a udm pro

still on a usg 4p

[young pecan]

They're super nice.

I have a USG 4 Pro at my other site with a site to site tunnel for my crypto.

But the UDM Pro is so much nicer.

Integrated piHole, etc.

Plus cloudflare DDNS.

[fair gull]

for ddns i use my provider netcup

[young pecan]

I really want to get my VPN working on the router itself so I can mix wireguard and piHole for ultimate fuck off power.

As far as the internet will be concerned I'll live in the US. >:D

[halcyon moss]

thats gotta be great for latency

[young pecan]

Well I should be able to do split tunneling somehow, so it should be fineish.

:p

[shadow minnow]

My aorus z590 master has way worse sounding mobo 3.5mm connector compared to the one on case, even though both are connected to the same internal soundcard. The mids on 3.5mm jack on rear of the mobo are terrible.

[fair gull]

maybe the contacts are garbage

[misty saffron]

my windows install is completely fucked to the point that i can't enable font antialiasing

but dota works!

[halcyon moss]

...how?

[fair gull]

how

[reef tundra]

because.. dota what donta

[fair gull]

also pretty sure eventlogs let you know why

[reef tundra]

😎 Works as instructed

[crimson wigeon]

sfc /scannow if that don't work reinstall

[reef tundra]

technically

pray to the omnissiah, maybe,

[fair gull]

except afc doesnt repair much

youd also need dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

unless you run from a recovery then its safer to specify the image

[crimson wigeon]

I suppose the MS support people might also run that

[fair gull]

if that doesnt fix it you can specify a source dir for a clean install drive/usb stick

and if that doesnt work but you can boot theres an uodate prep tool that exactly logs corrupt files which you can then googke and download from ms and replace manually

Why is this pc so cursed

I set ram speed at 3733

It 3333

3600? It 3200

[crisp granite]

gigabyte be like

[shadow minnow]

Apart from the fact it’s 4266 1.4v rated, runs stable at that, but 4400 impossible to get stable, and 4533 won’t even boot at 1 command rate

[young pecan]

Bet you anything if you change the motherboard it'll magically start working correctly. @shadow minnow

It probably has nothing to do with it being gigabyte.

It's probably just murphy having a staring contest with that PC in particular.

:D

[wheat plume]

Amoung Us: Dedicated servers chad
GTA Online: Peer To Peer virgin

[reef patrol]

P2P is clearly the superior choice.

Which makes RDO terrible

[wheat plume]

I need a VPN if I decide to play GTA Online again

[reef patrol]

Just play by yourself :3

[crisp granite]

that works great

until you want to do anything outside of freeroam

[ashen spindle]

ah yes, among us, a perfect example of where p2p would've most likely been better

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/three-amigos-thrust-gif-5420390

amigos

[ashen spindle]

p2p has it's reason, dedicated servers are by no means always the right choice lol

[reef patrol]

My issue with dedicated servers is that these days it means hosted on the publisher's end with no tools to self host 😄

So once the game dies, it dies for real.

[ashen spindle]

exactly

or if the server is down or has maintenance etc.

[reef tundra]

https://youtu.be/mQXN1HYkD68 sus?

[ashen spindle]

or just dont make it run on dedicated hardware, what's the point for it in among us lol

[young pecan]

WyM?!!??1?11!1 miNEsweEpER nEedS tHeM.

[ashen spindle]

licenses, other legal things, company policy etc. etc., but that's a whole other ordeal

[reef tundra]

Everyone is the server lets go

[young pecan]

As much as I love a little overkill, yeah. Dedi servers are just not needed a lot of the time.

[reef tundra]

No scaling issues, more users, more coverage and bandwidth

[young pecan]

Though ngl I do think dedi server software needs to be more common for the more tech literate.

[ashen spindle]

also yes, you dont need a vpn for gta lol

[wheat plume]

you do

[ashen spindle]

????

[wheat plume]

as soon as you login to the server , it sends your IP to all the other players

they have your IP

[reef patrol]

Oh nooooo.

[ashen spindle]

man you will be surprised about how the internet works if I tell you what any website knows about you lol

[empty wren]

You have theirs too

[wheat plume]

^ true

[reef tundra]

What if the vpn didnt snitch and lied it was not forwarding for someone else

[reef patrol]

You're on Discord. I have your IP rn. xD

[wheat plume]

:P

[fair gull]

p2p technically means infinite online lifespan but GTAO uses a shitty mix of dedicated servers and P2P

there is but only if people click the link/open the image in browser

oldest trick in the book

[reef tundra]

that is what data leaks are for 😏

[fair gull]

directly in discord no

since

you never see anyones ip

[reef patrol]

I was joking... clearly? xD

[fair gull]

data is only communicated via the discord gateway and websockets

so you know your ip and the discord servers

nothing else

[ashen spindle]

point is you don't need a vpn for gta

[fair gull]

point is you do

well if you care that is

[empty wren]

Use a firewall sheesh

[fair gull]

the gta lobby host can see all ips

the gta lobby host can also kick people if they wanted and have the necessary client mods

[ashen spindle]

I know, you still dont need a vpn lol

[fair gull]

uh no

u cant

only on old gen games

u have full PED control there

[empty wren]

Except host with some scripts

[fair gull]

only works as host

i can guarantee that

deved a hack menu myself

[reef tundra]

Even better, you could empty other peoples bank accounts. :)

[fair gull]

the only thing you can do is crash their game

but id not consider that kicking

[young pecan]

I mean is there any reason not to use a VPN?

[empty wren]

You can but if host had mod menu then probably not

[young pecan]

Not like it really gives you much latency.

[ashen spindle]

https://jamesrcridland.medium.com/why-you-probably-dont-need-a-vpn-e7bb35e7d744

[ashen spindle]

ah yea that was what I was looking for but couldnt find directly

[fair gull]

if i use a custom spun up vpn on my own root?

with my own ip and all

ez

[ashen spindle]

it does exist

I am using it right now

[fair gull]

psure the two he didnt come with that option

[ashen spindle]

uhh not with default keycaps I guess? idk

[fair gull]

lekker came with it by default

[fair gull]

sadly no

i hoped that was the case

cause i wanted woot win keys

[crisp granite]

with the PBT caps, yes

[reef tundra]

Centralising all your internet traffic through one point you cannot ensure has a gag order and logging all traffic money trail makes it legally harder to defend

[crisp granite]

lol

[young pecan]

Yes sure, but is there a reason to not do it?

[crisp granite]

there is a US ISO layout

[fair gull]

the closest would be ISO UK

[fair gull]

only pbt afaik

[crisp granite]

which is what I said

[young pecan]

That’s reasons as to why you don’t need to, but it’s cheap and gives you unlocks for global Netflix and shit. Why not?

[fair gull]

wait

no

[empty wren]

Also those pages forgot to mention some of the vpn services even paid ones log your data

[ashen spindle]

I mean cheap still means you pay some amount for something, I dont netflix so I dont get anything from it

[young pecan]

Even piracy.

That shit is free, but wait something like nyaa.si is banned in Aus.

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/bqa7kjtjkb0a.png

[young pecan]

Forced to VPN for it.

[fair gull]

no us iso

ya only uk

id want us tho

abs wooting

[empty wren]

I mean uk ansi oops

[young pecan]

Ah, ANSI. The one time the US is actually on the correct side.

[fair gull]

but they dont make em apparently

[crisp granite]

US ISO option is available for the PBT caps a-la-carte

and they include the ISO keys either way

[fair gull]

fuck the pbt caps no woot keys

and no A1 etc

[young pecan]

I use sonarr/radarr/etc, it helps for all of the stuff to be unblocked.

[fair gull]

no

i got 2 keyboards remember

literally only the lang u select

[crisp granite]

for the PBT caps

you get the ISO keys with the PBT ANSI set

[fair gull]

ah

still want US ISO abs

[crisp granite]

same

[young pecan]

Ikr. Last time I used a TV was 8 or something years ago.

No point.

[crisp granite]

at least my KAT Cyberspace caps will support ISO INT and will be thicc PBT

[fair gull]

i only heard nyaa.zi

[crisp granite]

and while I won't have A1,2,3 and mode keys

[young pecan]

nyaa.si is the current site.

[crisp granite]

I'll have some cool keys that say

[fair gull]

is a meme cause nazi

[crisp granite]

CYBR

instead

[fair gull]

nyaa.zi

Some timings having to be higher

[ashen spindle]

dont forget secondaries are quite important for gaming/benchmarks

[shadow minnow]

Yeah, just the fact that some of secondaries like twr have to even be higher. So far despite being gear 1 worse than unstable 4400mhz, which is, however, well, unstable

If you consider how much effort was required to stop germany can they even be called a joke?

microsoft finally made it so you can specify netbios name in windows setup

you what

[reef tundra]

Its a joke. Bombed a city because they forgot to signal the bombers. Had to be signalled since they couldn't sign the surrender document without the commanding officers signature And major losses fighting against ww1 era equipment, failing to capture the ministry with paratroopers. multiple wartrains lost.to attack a self declared neutral state.

Surprised how little difference does HT do for some stuff

[empty wren]

If you logged in with you Microsoft account makes sense for that to happen

[young pecan]

In the beginning and middle? Hells no, but absolutely in the tail end. Last few months was just failure after failure.

[fair gull]

u had win10 or 8 before?

cause theres a system in uefi bios thats lets the os or oem put a key into the bios which can get read by the os

[misty saffron]

would it be valid though?

again, i never used a valid one

[cursive summit]

Fuck this anti-scam bot, I can't even post mp4s cause of it

[cursive summit]

But yeah Apple's in shambles

This is actually ridiculous

Why did they think adding a notch was a good idea

I also love how apple apologetics still defend the notch, but this is actually horrible

Knowing Apple who don't ever really admit defeat, they will actually keep this shit as a "next gen feature"

also csgoskins is defunct since ages

its just ads now

[fair gull]

ill have to figure out tho why the cdn links get detected

[shadow minnow]

Gigabyte app center is tbh annoying me with it constant attempts to install bloatware

Updating or installing any new drivers? Well it’s gonna add Norton to that

At least you can cancel it

Asus does the same thing, you can just tell it to fuck off forever so that’s good.

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah a lot of those automagic driver updaters are more like automagic bloatware installers

Typically just trash ROI, but hey maybe this time is a little different.

🤷 mine cobalt instead

[ashen spindle]

I mean would you really get any A100 system for mining?

that's the area I mean, not quadro competitors

[young pecan]

If I could actually locate the things cheap enough rn? Yeah probably.

Could likely get fair competitive with 3090 style performance.

And I'm pretty sure the A100s don't have the same thermal nightmare 3090s do.

Fuckin' GDDR6X on the back of the card with awful cooling.

the computers at my college take 10 minutes to cold boot.....

asnd they are on properly decent CPUs

[young pecan]

Bruh, I remember doing a teardown of a dead computer when I was in school.

[reef tundra]

Wouldnt be advisable to even scan the faces in the first place

[young pecan]

The hardware isn't even super garbage, it's just how they clone the OS over.

[wheat plume]

Yeah

[young pecan]

Omfg the OS cloning is pain.

[wheat plume]

idk how its set up

[ashen spindle]

why would they need new pcs, that shit can just run on the camera hardware lol

[young pecan]

It's trying to write 14GB/s from a single PC capable of doing maybe 200MB/s.

Just no.

[young pecan]

Usually SLAs.

Lot of that stuff is really clunky yet robust, no smart solutions in most schools.

[reef tundra]

Use a fucking nfc/rf transceiver cards or something to allow identification without the entire risking the entire database of all children faces to leak to the .. third parties

[young pecan]

Like why would you bother cloning an OS out of a single crappy server when one could use VMs for the same cost but it'd be about a thousand times faster since you avoid NICs entirely?

Ah but wait, that's actually a good solution for a midsized school, can't be having that.

Or hell, why not have one semi decent server running proxmox and just virtualize all of the student crap? That's actually a good solution once you add in redundancy and pooled storage.

But wait, that requires someone to know how to proxmox versus idiot OS cloning go brrrrrr.

[reef tundra]

You could also just have it able to look up using the name/id and handle payment through that.

[young pecan]

Just do the basic thing and hook a payment method up to the school ID and just RF that bitch.

Simple solution.

Very robust and hard to fuck it up.

[reef tundra]

Would it even be a valid identification method if it is behaviour is depending on the AI to function. There is no garentuee it works to exact prediction...

[ashen spindle]

How about we just extend lunch break by 10 minutes and now the time issue is gone, maybe add another person on the counter so we also have a new job

[young pecan]

Quin just universes above us all here.

[reef tundra]

library cards work fine. rfid is like 80s era shit. Works really fine to identify users to take the credit from 🤷 giftcards even

100% accurate

Database can be nice and simple. Table of users and their balance another table logging each transaction or something. Wont even have to assign a student specifically to them anonymous ids pretty safe

Imagine the face model leaking,

Wait the facerecognation AI would be violating the European privacy regulation(GDPR). oh wait english aint in the union no more

[old marlin]

it comes in a trolly

igame kudan cards are stupid

[young pecan]

Omfg.

[reef tundra]

[old marlin]

they sold a 4 slot 1080

it has a res on the back

and comes with a huge ass pump rad combo thing

and even that one is not even their stupidest one by far

a 560ti

with random ass heatsinks pointing out

a detachable VRM module on the back

and paint to make it more colorful

[reef tundra]

looks like budget hardware..

[young pecan]

Why does this exist and what was the presumed usecase?

How does one mount it?

[reef tundra]

Its like marketing designed it

[ashen spindle]

why? because company has too much money and engineers wanted to do dumb shit lmao

[young pecan]

And this shit is just insane. How much was it?

[young pecan]

[misty saffron]

@reef patrol remember that i had an issue with my monitor?

pink line thing
