[young pecan]

Literally what I just said.

[fair gull]

192.168.X.X are local ips reserved for the local network and are only available if you are on the same router

[shadow minnow]

Okay worked

[fair gull]

0.0.0.0 and X.X.X.255 arent even to be considered for people like you

[shadow minnow]

Changing end to 1.1 seems to have worked

[fair gull]

and everything else is a publicly available ip

[timid chasm]

Just setup static IP distribution via your router instead of the PC

if that's what you're doing

[fair gull]

usually thats the routers ip

[young pecan]

Don’t even ask this man to touch specified range DHCP, omfg.

[timid chasm]

254 has always been mine

[fair gull]

192.168.X.1 or 192.168.X.254 are usually the router

and no i wont explain ipv6

[young pecan]

C’mon, Tony.

[shadow minnow]

I am able to connect from another pc from same network now

[young pecan]

Just explain binary to hex, 7head.

[shadow minnow]

But port still seems to be closed when checking

[fair gull]

so now the real issue is most likely your ISP

[young pecan]

ItS nOt ThaT hArD

• teachers

[fair gull]

and the fancy tech called DSLite

which has multiple issues imo

but i can see why ISPs run it

[young pecan]

I can’t.

[shadow minnow]

Does it also affect IPV4?

[fair gull]

it only affects IPv4

[young pecan]

Literally change to IPv6 and this whole problem vanishes in about 2 seconds.

[fair gull]

it basically means 1 public IPv4 is split to multiple customers

[young pecan]

IPv6 DHCP server.

[empty wren]

Yeah small form factor, no camera and no 3d screen.

[fair gull]

not the kind of dslite i meant

dslite as in dual stack lite

basically

ipv6 gets passed straight to everyone

doesnt matter what the ISP uses

[young pecan]

Explain how in the fuck removing stereoscopic 3D was anything other than a good move?

[empty wren]

XD

[fair gull]

DSLite means theres a NAT router in between that translates a public IP into a WAN IP

[young pecan]

xD

[empty wren]

I remember a buddy had a 3d phone and he liked it

[young pecan]

Bruh what?

[empty wren]

I do not know mans

[fair gull]

wait the 3d slider moves on the 3ds?

[young pecan]

Man must have eyes of steel.

[empty wren]

It does

[young pecan]

...

Yes.

[fair gull]

hm

i removed mine

[young pecan]

Down is the correct position.

[empty wren]

Alright

[fair gull]

its a real shit show

[empty wren]

But what if you play upside down

[young pecan]

[fair gull]

towards the touch screen is the right position

[empty wren]

I never understood why the screens had to be so small

[fair gull]

cause

pocket sizes

[empty wren]

I mean I guess

But could have been wider

[fair gull]

have you ever tried showing a 49" monitor down your pocket?

[empty wren]

No

Should I?

[fair gull]

yes

then u know why smol

[timid chasm]

I bet my ex could

she could fit anything anywhere

at least that's what all these strange men kept telling me

[fair gull]

so

i guess its good to have a small pp for all the man who think its shit

small pp = fits into pocket

[empty wren]

What is it detachable

[fair gull]

urs isnt?

[empty wren]

....

Um

Sure

[fair gull]

when u get a wife it is

including balls

[empty wren]

They do say big things come in small packages

[fair gull]

never heard anyone say that

except you just now

[empty wren]

Might be an American thing

[timid chasm]

yeah I'm thinking NA at best

awful lot of small man syndrome going on here so that makes sense

[empty wren]

🤣

[fair gull]

i mean

guess im more NA than german

[empty wren]

Well how many days of the week do you eat McDonald's

[fair gull]

too many

i was at mcd yesterday

and ate it this morning

nice and stale from yesterday

[cursive summit]

McD got those new-ish spicy fry sticks

Those are sick

But they got nothing on the Burger King steak burgers

Man those trump McD's

[empty wren]

Some of them costs as much as bar burger though

[cursive summit]

And they are better though

Like I had some burgers in my life, and by far Burger King fucks all of em

Although in a restaurant I don't typically get a burger, I guess

[empty wren]

I had two satisfying burgers both from bars

Hardee's feels too greasy

Mc Donald's is below average

I guess Burger King is fine but can be expensive

Arby's is probably a better choice between the 3

[cursive summit]

Yeah those western brands have very few outlets in my country

Burger King just opened their 3rd in the whole country I think, in my home city

KFC's I think planning on a second one

No Dunkin Donuts, Wendy's, Domino's, Nando's, Sailsbury's

Hell not even a Starbucks

[timid chasm]

KFC only matters when it comes to our KFC gaming PC

[empty wren]

[cursive summit]

I did have KFC for the first time very recently

It's literally chicken

Like my man, get a kilo of chicken for 3$, and crust it for another 1$ with some spices

[empty wren]

Yeah America has a problem...

[timid chasm]

yeah but then you gotta deal with frying it and the oil afterwards

hassles

[cursive summit]

I mean oil is in theory, reusable

Just need to filter it out

Still better than spending 10$ for a bucket

[empty wren]

It is pretty good though

[timid chasm]

and the sides are good too and it's just so convenient

that's what it's really about, imo. The convenience

[empty wren]

How about papa John's Vexx?

[cursive summit]

Nowhere near my country

[empty wren]

Ah

[cursive summit]

I really want Nandos though

I heard good things about it

[cursive summit]

Yeah health isn't why I want nandos

Mostly the food seems a lot better

Oh shit Dominos did open up here

Just single restaurant and nobody seems to be going there

[misty saffron]

what the fuck is a nandos

[wheat plume]

Idk

I just know it as a brand of sauce I see in stores sometimes

[pallid totem]

0.0.0.0 only makes sense when binding listening ports, which means "listen to any interface".

And I finally got off 6rd and onto native a month or so ago. Such relief.

My MTU is finally 1500 all the way home.

[cursive summit]

Awesomeness

[fair gull]

psure my mtu is like 1472

or some shit

or at least segment size

idk how big headers are

but its prob close to 1500

[pale sigil]

Chicken restaurant

@wheat plume

[wheat plume]

O o

[fair gull]

yo cal

wanna go for some cheeky nandos

@pale sigil

[pale sigil]

Maybe

[wheat plume]

:')

[pallid totem]

Yeah, sounds about right for what I had with 6rd. Those headers eat a few bytes.

Oh, even worse. It was 1452.

[compact fjord]

Just out of curiosity. Would the Wooting two HE be able to reliably register acceleration of a key? Not just how far you press it. But how fast you press it.

[reef patrol]

Don't think Wootility has anything like that. But it's just a question of charting the key poilling.

[pale sigil]

Don't fully understand the question

But tachyon mod exists

[compact fjord]

Yeah. Maybe I need to read up a bit more. Was just curious. There is a lot of metrics one can gather from acceleration curves and such. But for the most parts one do not need such detail. And like I said it was more my curiosity that wanted to be satisfied. 😉

[fair gull]

well with 1k updates a sec u can get accel yourself

the wooting midi app for example supports key velocity

[compact fjord]

oh yes. I have heard about that MIDI app. of course that would support it.

Not that I am a expert on instruments. But I do know digital pianos to mimic real pianos do read that

[reef patrol]

cough #🐸│memes

[scenic ruin]

oh shit wrong channel

thanks

[halcyon moss]

its fun looking at your server logs and seeing things like this:
() {36 vars in 645 bytes} [Sat Jan 1 14:48:33 2022] GET /vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php => generated 143 bytes in 410 msecs (HTTP/1.1 400) 3 headers in 116 bytes (1 switches on core 0)

vurnability scans!

[wheat plume]

FINALLY
Plasma desktop let's you finally use root access on apps like dolphin and Kate

So many times I needed to open a text file and I can't cause you can't run Kate as sudo

Now you can

Woooo

[fair gull]

no this https://discordjs.moe/xhudqriy91do.png

btw those usually generate a good 2mb of log a day

or just 195.54.160.149 - - [01/Jan/2022:03:47:33 +0100] "GET /index.php?s=/Index/\x5Cthink\x5Capp/invokefunction&function=call_user_func_array&vars[0]=md5&vars[1][]=HelloThinkPHP21 HTTP/1.1" 404 188 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36"

how about

[pallid totem]

2 megs access log total? Or just those types of requests?

[fair gull]

i mean

its basically just that

if id boil it down

its like maybe 50 or so legit requests

and then around 5k of those

btw thats just 1 domain

that i seperated out in nginx cause it spammed the logs

[pale sigil]

Why do you have logs for a Russian site

[fair gull]

remember the thing that happened with my image host?

[pale sigil]

Oh

[fair gull]

apparently i also hosted gigabytes of hentai

also people trying to access a project i havent even touched or uploaded since i removed it years ago https://discordjs.moe/saiypczgzqc2.png

poor souls

[pallid totem]

I'm in the tech department of a fairly large player group for Elite: Dangerous. We have 4 dedicated servers running just to handle our infrastructure needs at this point. There is... significant log spam from exploit scanners and intrusion attempts, not to mention old apps apparently expecting a different server on a likely recycled IP.

[empty wren]

Great way to start the new year, phone leaks

[fickle ore]

Hmm, probably something that wouldn't work on my pcie4 platform. Interesting nontheless 🙂

[fair gull]

i heard ed

now im interested

[pallid totem]

We run a player group called the Fuel Rats. Basically, we go out and save people who run out of fuel.

[fair gull]

im aware of the rats

so far luckily never needed their services

[pallid totem]

Its infrastructure sort of... er, grew, over time. Too many clients, too many rats. So almost €200 per month in dedicated servers, AWS DNS and various sundries. 😛

[fair gull]

here i sit with a puney 50bucks

altho i also am unsure if i could max the 14cores and 64gigs of ram

its a glorified imagehost atm

well and discord bot test heaven

[pallid totem]

We run 3 dedicated servers on Hetzner, and one AWS instance for our US IRC server. We do our own image/paste hosting as well, though the image hosting is just a Nextcloud tied in with our SSO so rats can have a gig of upload space for their rat related stuff.

[fair gull]

yikes hetzner

way too overpriced imo

[reef patrol]

Did someone say .... FUEL RATS

https://tenor.com/view/fanboy-freakout-excited-jonah-hill-gif-5406366

[pallid totem]

Squeak! o7

[fair gull]

imma quickly check what a comparable root costs at hetzner to what i pay atm

they dont even offer 14cores, 64gb ddr4 ecc and 2tb ssd

let alone epyc

ngl

this is sad

https://discordjs.moe/kga3esy0kgcm.png

literally the price i pay

[ashen spindle]

hows the price on aws and something smaller like linode looking in comparison?

[reef patrol]

Fuel Rats were so dang helpful back when I played Elite. I've had at least a handful of really close calls when exploring blindly like a dope 😄

[fair gull]

linode wants 480/mo

but id get 32cores

also less ssd

and limited transfer

8tb bandwidth

for multiple hundreds a month it might be cheaper to buy the hardware and rent a spot in a DC

[ashen spindle]

good one

able to buy server hardware at the moment

[fair gull]

i mean i did buy proper server stuff finally

tomorrow it arrives at work

[pale sigil]

DoomMachineV2?

[fair gull]

no

[ashen spindle]

yeah but that's a bit older compared to what a host could offer or did you get a milan server?

[fair gull]

at home the machine is snapinator

[fair gull]

i mean

my host offer 14 epyc smthsmth cpus and ddr4 ecc

for 40bucks a month

i paid

430eur

for a dl380p g8 with 128gb ddr3 ecc

and dual smthsmth

Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 (2.7 GHz/12-core/30MB/8.0GT/s QPI/130 W, DDR3-1866, HT, Turbo2- 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/4/5/6/7/8)

those

g9 and ddr4 is just too expensive for home lab

altho id doubt for the applications i use it for that it matters much

i could prob just host my image server at home now

[pale sigil]

i would host at home

but my interwebs just aint reliable enough

i only get 12 up

on a good day

[fair gull]

thats what keeps me from hosting at home atm

50up is sad

and the fibre shit

well

they forgot to plan fire safety and stuff for the apartment buildings in my city so i aint getting fibre soon

[pale sigil]

ayyup

i got 20 up tonight

😄

[fair gull]

otherwise id have had gig down and 500 up

id have selfhosted then

[fair gull]

and just cancelled my server at netcup

https://discordjs.moe/50uofazfd0q1.png

[fair gull]

living the coax dream

[pale sigil]

i need to clean up

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/8kyp9ko3gtdz.png

got more storage than ur nas

[pale sigil]

well

i mean

[empty wren]

Dang tony your girlfriend gets a whole 5.5TB

[pale sigil]

i dont need more

i just need to delete shite

[fair gull]

same

[young pecan]

I’d kill someone for this internet.

[pale sigil]

i have 400gb in redundent backups alone

[pale sigil]

doom machine

?

[empty wren]

is that a future confession I hear

[fickle ore]

Does anyone know why USB 3.1 generates ISR counts even when setting the controller to messagesignaledinterrupt mode on?

[fair gull]

thats the server ya

but i cant

cause net sucks

[young pecan]

If you wanna get me gigabit down, sure.

[pale sigil]

How long till i need to backup my files

[fair gull]

never

[young pecan]

10 times the piracy legitimate game downloads.

[fair gull]

id prob just spin up a proxmox vm with an image of the doommachine

[pale sigil]

[timid chasm]

ya'll got to many partitions

you need OS, Games, Not games

no more

[pale sigil]

cos i mount them

they are all network shares

[reef patrol]

Callum sorely needs an expanded NAS xD

[fair gull]

measily 2tb

[timid chasm]

too many.

[pale sigil]

4TB

2TB for shared 2TB for personal

[fair gull]

no we talking formatted and raided

[timid chasm]

1 >= 10TB for games and then some arbitrary size for other stuff

[fair gull]

oh u actually got 4tb formatted

[pale sigil]

i dont care about data loss

[fair gull]

just noticed

[pale sigil]

i disconnected myself from important data

anything i need backing up is backed up

my greatest moment of shame

one day ill finish them... all star wars

Can't listen to audiobooks. My brain filters it out immediately.

[timid chasm]

I can only do it when doing mindless tasks like moving shit around or yard work

[pale sigil]

such a great film i totally own

tbf i actually do on tape

[reef patrol]

If I do literally anything other than listen, I will zone out. So I might as well fucking read the books manually instead 😄

[pale sigil]

cleared 300gb

[pallid totem]

I hear we're comparing drive clutter. https://absolver.cloud/index.php/s/f4KyC9zZQYxc6eE/preview

[fair gull]

https://discordjs.moe/fmyws3u2mhbq.png

fuckin crime right there

[pallid totem]

What? Freenas is a fine NAS OS.

[fair gull]

well

first its truenas now

but thats not the issue

[pallid totem]

It wasn't when I made it. 😛

[fair gull]

why is it upper and lowercase

[pallid totem]

Because the data volume mounts from a script, most likely.

[fair gull]

ngl

id have to fix that if that was my pc

that would annoy me everytime i see it

[pallid totem]

I am luckily not that deep in the OCD traits.

[fair gull]

u can sure be glad

[wheat plume]

It also annoys me too....

[pallid totem]

I am seriously considering redoing them now, by putting them all in script. Or well, those I can.

[fair gull]

why mount them via script tho

windows keeps em mounted

[pallid totem]

Like this:

for mount in mounts:
  mp=''.join(choice((str.upper, str.lower))(c) for c in mount))
``` :>

[fair gull]

python aswell

im disappointed

[pallid totem]

Because different users mount different volumes.

[fair gull]

i mean

theres windows domain shit u could use

[pallid totem]

Sure, but that's not the environment I run in.

[fair gull]

ngl im not even sure if mapped drives are kept between users

[reef patrol]

Mapped drives are on a per user level.

[fair gull]

even less reason to have scripts then

[reef patrol]

In fact back when I worked with Windows XP domain servers, it was perfectly common to temporarily map drives every time you logged on. Just to be sure they stuck xD

[pallid totem]

I think I'm in the best position to know what needs I have for my own network in this case.

[fair gull]

true

just

its unnecessary from a technological standpoint

[pallid totem]

It isn't.

[fair gull]

i dont understand

mapped drives are per user

they stick anyway

so

i dont see a point in scripts

[pallid totem]

My network is segregated. How I mount the volumes depends on how I am connected to the network.

For example, if I am connected using wireless or VPN, I can't access all the shares. Some require a physical LAN connection to a specific switch to be available.

[fair gull]

personally still dont see a reason for scripts but i guess you do you

[astral haven]

I can 100% confirm that group policy is jank and needs to be supplemented by scripts to make sure important things happen

[pallid totem]

Even more so when dealing with RADIUS MAC authentication, and split horizon networks. 😛

[cinder nymph]

hello, is there any downside to leaving tachyon mode on all the time?

[wheat plume]

no RGB effects, but if you keep the lights still, that is not a problem anyway

[cinder nymph]

so it doesnt add like extra stress or anything that the keyboard wont like for prolonged periods? can just set and forget?

[fair gull]

yes

[ashen spindle]

Ye

[cinder nymph]

pogchampion

[fair gull]

i used my original w2 with tachyon on since release

never had a problem

[pale sigil]

i remember this, my first ever mech build failure

cleaned a lot

[old marlin]

here have my latest one

recorded it early in the morning so my WPM was complete garbage

[pale sigil]

@old marlini was more showing my shitty soldering with the leds lol

[old marlin]

ah

well

I can show my non shitty soldering

would not say it is great

but passable

[pale sigil]

My fault

i went in without any experience

with an expensive build

I could do it just fine if i rebuilt it

[halcyon moss]

oh i had that one too

[pale sigil]

@shadow minnow https://i.redd.it/h7rlrg65e3981.jpg

thought of you

my phone is 128gb

idk how i could ever fill it up

[shadow minnow]

I think I literally filled up more space in phone then pc if I count in photos I moved from my phone

[empty wren]

Netflix downloads hd quality + Disney+

[pale sigil]

theyd expire before i could watch them all

[shadow minnow]

Getting close to running out of space again with raw photos and Dolby vision videos

[empty wren]

Damn

[shadow minnow]

Luckily I found out I indeed can import by one click photos from phone to max and have all the photos that are imported deleted on phone afterwards automatically

[pallid totem]

My phone autouploads to Nextcloud, so I can just nuke the local camera storage when I run low.

[pale sigil]

Bexin dont like that

[shadow minnow]

2tb iCloud too expensive

[empty wren]

Just get 512gb iphone next time

[shadow minnow]

More like 1tb

[empty wren]

Okay just buy portable iphone drive or flash drive

More value

[shadow minnow]

Like I am pretty sure I would have filled up 512 in less than a year

[shadow minnow]

Or just backup on pc and from there hard rice and don’t buy anything

[pale sigil]

COS

[shadow minnow]

SIN

[pale sigil]

YOU TAKE PICS OF EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY

[empty wren]

[shadow minnow]

^

[empty wren]

Takes one step oh that stone looks pweddy

[shadow minnow]

Hey I am not t3

[empty wren]

Bexin you may as well buy a dedicated camera at this point

[shadow minnow]

Too hard to carry around

[empty wren]

And a ton of sd cards

[shadow minnow]

Though I do agree dedicated cameras are Pog

Also would fill up storage even faster

[shadow minnow]

Especially since I tend to take photos at random times

[empty wren]

Why though

[shadow minnow]

Especially for low light EOS r6 or 5 or whatever I tried is Pog

Also overall for details way better than phone

Still too expensive

And can’t carry it everywhere the same way

[ashen spindle]

which then no longer is the same way he'd just carry his phone

[pale sigil]

@shadow minnow https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter-Performance/dp/B08HCPTMJG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3S9CIKEQ8KTZS&keywords=1tb+sd+card&qid=1641070856&sprefix=1tb+sd+car%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-3

[shadow minnow]

Don’t have enough space there usually

[pale sigil]

Bexin

when you get your server just make a photo server

all my photos auto backup to my nas

[shadow minnow]

Guess I could do that if I ever get that server

Though idk, is there any app that can auto do that from my phone?

[cursive summit]

https://hothardware.com/news/rumor-claims-intel-will-forcibly-disable-avx-512-on-alder-lake

[crimson wigeon]

Watch this be a thing you can pay extra for to enable in the future..

[ashen spindle]

basically useless for desktop anyway and amd will have it starting with zen4 so the better option is team red again

[misty saffron]

not that useless honestly

considering a lot of game devs do pointer encryption bullshit

AVX instructions help with optimizing that code by a lot

[ashen spindle]

I recon if any game is optimized to a point where your cpu not using avx3 is the bottleneck something else has gone wrong

and avx/avx2 all still work obviously

[misty saffron]

oh so you don’t remember pubg 3 years ago

where they killed performance with pointer encryption

[ashen spindle]

something else has gone wrong
I count that game as a total mess

[misty saffron]

that is a great point

[young pecan]

Gotta agree with Quin, tbh.

And most of the time games are horrifically badly optimised anyway. Shit like Unity is great for sheer speed of development, but compared to C++ or assembly it’s laughably slow.

Lots of tests have been done to compare C++ optimised code to unity development and C++ is legitimately several orders of magnitude faster.

Assembly is even faster still.

I think that just having people that can actually use and optimise C++ work is a bigger boon for a game than AVX-512 could ever really be.

[misty saffron]

c++ code gets compiled to native code (== assembly)

and no, it is honestly not faster

a modern c++ compiler is smarter than you and can make much faster code

[young pecan]

Kinda.

Compilers still leave unoptimised code, but it’s usually to the point of diminishing returns.

Theoretically could be faster, but the gains wouldn’t be amazingly high.

[misty saffron]

well obviously compilers don’t know what the fuck you want to do

[young pecan]

Though with that said there’s some extremely clever tricks you don’t see a lot of the time.

Mate of mine is making a hyper optimised game engine, it’s hilarious seeing what lengths he goes to for more speed.

[misty saffron]

the reason performance in so many apps/games sucks nowadays is because people are incompetent

ask an average developer what a profiler is and they won’t know what to say

[ashen spindle]

unity runs on c++ and can convert IL to it aswell, bit of an off comparison

[fickle ore]

which engine?

[misty saffron]

il2cpp is nowhere close still

[young pecan]

Yes, I know.

[fair gull]

i mean

comparing todays game devs to 16bit console era

makes me sad

[ashen spindle]

sure il2cpp is still not native but quite good and most of the comparisons made on unity vs native c++ are made in incredible dumb ways

like no shit your native c++ engine that has literally no editor UI can spawn things faster big congratz

[young pecan]

That’s kinda the thing though.

If you have a fully functioning engine versus a C++ native one with a full UI in the hands of somebody talented the C++ native will win.

[misty saffron]

when saying you’re a programmer also meant you’re competent huh

[young pecan]

It’s just everybody is used to using libraries and skipping instead of learning.

[ashen spindle]

but same thing for unreal and other engines that are purely cpp I think I understand your point but the language is irrelevant

[fair gull]

basically... like those people knew how to write efficient or smart code

[ashen spindle]

but then you are using something not art or design person can use without doing cpp themselves

[misty saffron]

programming being more accessible is both a blessing and a curse

[young pecan]

This.

10000% this.

[fair gull]

thats basically every profession tho

[young pecan]

Look at literally every game made for an N64, they’re all works of hilariously optimised and corner cutting art.

Shit all modern is done to that level of skill.

[ashen spindle]

disagree, yes the bad parts are obvious but the better parts coming from it are so much better than the limited options we would otherwise have

sure we would not have NFTs and probably no javascript in websites but we also would not have functional websites at all

[misty saffron]

thanks for reminding i need to take my ps1 to moscow

[young pecan]

Just wish more people would learn fundamentals instead of ‘java go brrrrrr’ and ‘python go brrrrrrr’ library hell.

[fair gull]

to run the nuclear reactor?

[young pecan]

Y’know how many pointlessly large libraries exist that can be done in maybe 40 lines of code?

[misty saffron]

well just to play games at first

thankfully owners left an old tv

[fair gull]

ill just write horribly inefficient js and make a fancy looking but running like ass website

then rinse and repeat for my first program

[young pecan]

You better be using that 120k line library that’s entirely unneeded.

Fuck it, import the whole thing and slap that bitch into a loop variable.

I promise no slowdowns.

[fair gull]

yes import all the functions even if js and css can do it by now

[young pecan]

Literally call ALL the functions.

Doesn’t even matter.

Bodged solutions from 10 years ago still work fine regardless of C++ being able to do them faster and in 8 lines of code.

[fair gull]

[young pecan]

Who needs 8 lines of code when you can have 40k? Bigger number go brrrrrrr.

[fair gull]

for real tho

i like programming being accessible

but

i dont like the people jumping in wanting to make a vulkan based game engine as their first project

[young pecan]

My bigger gripe is people not understanding fundamentals and assuming memory leaks and garbage collection are a problem of the past.

[ashen spindle]

if we would not ahve those 40k libraries we would not have the Log4J issues sure, we would also have basically no software that would to the thing, optimized or not

hence I think the part thats a curse is by far smaller then the benefits

[young pecan]

Guy, I’m perfectly ok with a library, but I’m not ok with idiots ham fisting it in because ‘Python go brrrrrrrr’.

Lack of knowledge is the problem here, not lack of tools.

And yeah, the drawbacks are fine now, but y’know how often we’re getting into the issue of “well we would fix it, but nobody knows how the technology works” comes up?

That is only going to get worse with time.

[ashen spindle]

sure but I rather have tools with big issues than not having the tools at all

I know the massive issues it all has obviously

[young pecan]

And when nobody can fix the underlying technology?

Seems like one of those massive problems that’s only able to be fixed via education.

[ashen spindle]

still better than never having it because we never progressed that far

it'll always be a battle to make it better

[young pecan]

Tbh what it looks like is a few hyper talented devs trying to hold together the foundations while morons keep apeing around with simpler language and have no idea what they’re doing.

Literally all I want is basic fundamentals of computer science to be included here. :(

Not everybody needs to be the holy grail developer that can solve world hunger, but goddamnit why are we lacking basic knowledge like this?

Just... take the primer to whatever course you’re doing...

Worth throwing it out there: anyone have experience with generic LCD(?) drivers off of Amazon/Ebay? I've got one that does what it is supposed to, but it doesn't seem to support all of the LCD's features. There's no DDC (as far as I can tell) and no USB connection. The menu seems barebones too, so I'm wondering if there's some secret hold/click combination or something. Thanks.

[slow garnet]

Right kinda my fault for not specifying what I was talking about. I'm using a PQ3QI-01 LCD. It's supposed to be able to switch between transmissive, transflective, and reflective mode. Documentation about this LCD can be found at https://elinux.org/images/3/3f/PQ3QI-01.pdf and https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/3Qi-1_V22_spec_20110919.306200524.pdf (unaccessable via Tor). As far as I can tell however, the LCD board driver I'm using (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07VD3446G/) does not have any options to support these modes. Looking on eBay, it seems like the other controller boards on there are pretty much the same (at least in terms of design). My guess would be I need to go dig at the bottom of the internet to find a genuine board driver, or figure out how the hell to run one of these manually, which is probably way out of my god damn expertise. On that note, the resolution of the display is also limited to 1024x600, even though the documentation states it should be able to go up to 3072x600, but this might just be me being dumb as hell and not understanding the documentation. So that's why I'm posting here in case anyone has any knowledge in this area. If not, it was worth trying.

[pallid totem]

The driver you're using is the limiting factor there. It only supports 1024x600.

[slow garnet]

That's unfortunate. I didn't notice the max resolution on the driver at first, so that's my fault on that end. Thanks for at least mentioning that. But I would have at least taught that it would support the other two modes. On that note, the board also has two different labels on it, one stating Y-158624 and the other stating P21071592-0A00769. I can't find anything on this though.

[pallid totem]

According to PQ3QI-01 specs, it also only supports 1024x600. I suspect you have confused a triple display setup, which would be 3072x600.

[slow garnet]

Woops, hold on

I posted the same pdf twice.

[pallid totem]

There is a Pixel Qi Mode Control Application for mode switching for reflective, trasnmissive and transflective mode.

[slow garnet]

Switched the PDF.

The first document states "In reflective mode the screens shows higher resolution at 3072 x 600 pixels", so not entirely sure why it's missing from the 2nd.

As for the control application, I'll have to go and dig for this, I couldn't find anything last time I checked for it unfortunately.

That's why I tried looking into if there was a DDC or a USB connection, but there was nothing there to go from.

[pallid totem]

Oh, you mean luminance resolution.

[slow garnet]

Yeah, my bad on that part

[pallid totem]

This is not actually "resolution" in the normal sense of things. Yes, you can do what's called subpixel rendering while in transflective and reflective mode, where you push additional 'resolution' through the luminance channel. Each actual pixel (in the 1024 rows) actually consists of several subpixels, and those modes can give you control of each individual subpixel.

[slow garnet]

Oh.

Well, that clears up some confusion then.

[pallid totem]

Pixel Qi was apparently bought by Tripuso. This is their new site. https://www.tripuso.com/

I suggest contacting them for the software.

[slow garnet]

I likely will need to be doing so.

Thanks again for the help.

It's a shame that there aren't as many reflective/transflective displays out there though. E-ink is good and all, but it cannot achieve a decent refresh rate without issues. Not to mention they're generally very expensive for higher resolutions and sizes.

[pallid totem]

Point 6.3 of your PDF:

The  display  panel  supports  3  modes:  purely  reflective,  purely  transmissive,  and  transflective.    The  mode is set by the ambient light intensity and backlight intensity.    The following truth table shows how different modes are selected

[slow garnet]

Right. Trying to set the backlight to 0% in the menu doesn't seem to turn off the backlight however.

There's also no ambient light sensor that I can see on the LCD or driver.

So either the driver isn't actually setting the backlight to 0%, or something funky is going on.

[pallid totem]

You've got the NT68676 board controller docs, right?

[slow garnet]

I actually do not.

Is there something I'm missing here? I apologize for my naiveness.

[pallid totem]

https://www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/380200/User_s_guide_of_M.NT68676.2A_controller_board_V1.1.pdf

And its datasheet. https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1031031/ETC/M.NT68676.2A/1

[slow garnet]

Oh well this is interesting

Ok, doing the power/menu thing, as far as I can tell, the backlight is at 0%. Moving it up to 100% and back down to 0% did nothing.

There is one more thing I could try I guess, unplugging the inverter cable. As far as I can tell, this wouldn't damage anything (inverters go all the time, don't they? And when they do, last time I checked, LCDs still function but they are pitch black).

[pallid totem]

I'd try setting up a way to hook into the LCD backlight signal pin instead.

[slow garnet]

Yeah unfortunately that looks like what I might need to do instead. The inverter circuitry wires seems to be soldered on (or superglued, whatever be the case, it is unremovable, short of potentially breaking the board).

[pallid totem]

Just hook in to LED_EN with a switch. 0v = off, 3.3v = on.

And if the board is supplying a constant on anyways, just interrupting it is enough.

That at least gets you reflective and emissive modes. For transflective, you'd have to hook into the PWM.

[slow garnet]

Might have an easier option, but I'll have to ask first: What about removing the jumper pin instead?

[pallid totem]

I haven't read the board spec that thoroughly, and certainly not the circuit. You could end up overvolting it, if the jumper is to a voltage sink.

[slow garnet]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't know for sure how it works, so it either defaults to 12V, or doesn't

Well, I'll have to go find out which wire is LED_EN. There's one problem though: I don't have any switches on hand, as ridiculous as that sounds.

For now though, I'll likely leave it into emissive mode for now, and whenever I get a switch, I'll try it out and report back with results.

Thanks again a lot. And sorry for my ignorance in this domain, first time I'm doing this.

[pallid totem]

CN5, pin 3, for reference.

And asking is how you learn, so don't worry about it.

[slow garnet]

True. No stupid questions, right? Then again, some people aren't as understanding.

Oh, that might make a bit of sense now.

Pin 4 is left unconnected, and there's two wires going to pin 3. Figures.

[pallid totem]

Well then. I'd definitely start with a multimeter, and figure out which is which.

But double check that the board revision is correct to the manual you're looking at.

Given that no voltage on pin 3 originally should lead to the backlight NOT turning on, that's a flag that it may be a different board revision.

[pale sigil]

Asking for a friend, not for myself but where would one find windows server isos

[pallid totem]

On MSDN?

[pallid totem]

If you could be specific about what version of Windows Server you're looking for, I could probably give a better pointer.

Actually, they have them all in one place now. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019 - just pick your flavor, select ISO, and click.

Huh. Well, that is one way to prevent having your bandwidth used for pirated keys I suppose. I've always either had Bizspark or MSDN access, so I just use the ISOs there.

2 6/8 pins are one 12 pin

also it's coming as pcie5 spec so you might see it on futures psus directly

[fair gull]

so

i can use a 3090 already

hm

maybe i should try getting one

fuck only 850w

[shadow minnow]

My only issue with two 12 pins is that they will kinda go against purpose of 12pin and won’t be much better since you will still need two

[fair gull]

but fully modular so i can just swap in another psu

[shadow minnow]

I also have just 850w

People said it gonna be enough so hopefully

Wanted to get 1000

But Corsair discontinued it just before

[ashen spindle]

why would it go against purpose of 12 pin

the purpose was never to have it be less cables

[fair gull]

cause 4 8pins is better

Correct. You'd need to tie it to blockchain somehow to make it a more global thing.

[pallid totem]

I have zero love for NFTs. But they do aptly prove the whole foundation of cryptocurrency. Things can have value because people agree they do, even if they're ephemeral.

[reef patrol]

The trouble with NFTs is their digital nature. Unlike a gem if the NFT authority who you'd check your ownership against vanishes, you can't prove you own anything unique.

And since the same exact "object" can be NFT'ed across a dozen different authorities, do you really own anything unique other than a string?

[fair gull]

no

[old marlin]

not like your "object" is in the blockchain to begin with usually

[reef patrol]

$$$

v cache is a slice of 7nm wafer allocation so putting it on a product that does less gains and also less profit gains makes little sense

and that is excluding any other issues as a apu is monolithic instead of having io and gfx on a seperate die

Official Apple case. Was nice at first. Just looks like silicone doesn’t really last with the way I use it

[pale sigil]

So yes cheap

[shadow minnow]

I mean wasn’t cheap as in how much it costed

[pallid totem]

It depends on the BMS implementation. But there's quite a bit of intelligence to most systems, especially in phones. Most BMS systems have individual cell monitoring, meaning it tracks the state of charge for each cell, and tries to balance them out as they degrade. Even if a set of cells are fairly equally matched right after production, they will often become more and more disparate over time as they accumulate cycles.

you cant compare two different batteries in two different phones

[pale sigil]

Fast charge also your battery is a fuck ton smaller

[shadow minnow]

It’s less than 10% smaller

[pale sigil]

Since when

[shadow minnow]

Mostly true tbf

[shadow minnow]

Your says 4000

13 pro max is even higher and lasts way longer but yeah don’t have that.

[pale sigil]

Oh I forgot they charge for HD and bigger size

[shadow minnow]

What?

[pale sigil]

If i remember correctly the max was a way of getting a higher res and battery

[shadow minnow]

Yes

But it is the case for every phone I think with battery at least

More space so more battery

And res, well, PPI is the same so res gets higher

[pale sigil]

My phone is a lot smaller yet has 4000

So I don't think that's right

Lol

[shadow minnow]

I mean sure iPhone batteries aren’t the biggest but still more space is more battery space

And with 13s battery is way better too. Though with 12s it was pretty bad, worse than 11 I think

[spice marsh]

is there any keycaps that has some sort of soft material that helps suppresses noise of typing

[pale sigil]

Orings

[spice marsh]

i was looking something more of that suppresses the noise of the keycap hitting the keyboard plate

something like a material that goes under the cap itself

[pale sigil]

Yes...

Orings do

[reef patrol]

Your keycap* should never hit the plate.

[pallid totem]

But what if I'm angry typing on Facebook?

[reef patrol]

Your switch rests on top of the plate. So for a keycap to touch the plate, you would have to hit it so hard, the switch falls through 😄

[ashen spindle]

oh no

There was a fire in a cleaning facility at #ASML's Berlin plant. Wafer tables, reticle chucks and mirror blocks for ASML's lithography systems are manufactured in Berlin. The impact on the production schedule is not yet known. Oh boy …

please let it be something small and not very relevant

[pallid totem]

I can get really angry on facebook comments.

[reef patrol]

[pallid totem]

...

Er, ASML is one of the lynchpins for semiconductor production. Soooo, er. Yeah, this is not insignificant.

I hope the fire is insignificant.

[ashen spindle]

I know what asml does but that doesnt mean anything

bc that area might not be significant

at least it wont make anything worse in the short term, if it affects something it just means it gets worse in a couple months/years xd

[pallid totem]

Things getting worse in semiconductor world right now would be suboptimal, even if it's 6 months in the future. When we're hopefully supposed to start recovering from the current shenanigans.

I love Louis Rossmann reacts with fans 😅

"i just heard someone start fanboying so I started to walk faster, I'm going to hell for that"

"how are you? Fuck me, i never know how to respond to that shit, maybe I'm autistic idk, I'm an asshole, I'm sorry"

@wheat plume you watch him right?

[wheat plume]

nu

I think I saw a video from him once

[pale sigil]

Omg lol

[misty saffron]

if it’s a video of nyc streets it has to be louis rossmann

[cursive summit]

Well Louis doesn't live in NYC anymore iirc

Isn't he now in some other city

[reef patrol]

Last I heard he was house shopping in the NY burbs.

[cursive summit]

Oh right he lives in New Hampshire

Which is a state or two away from NY

[true quest]

most american cities

the trash bins in the suburbs would like a word with you

but yeah it trash

[pale sigil]

He moved a few days ago

But angry new Yorkens are funny

https://wccftech.com/leaked-benchmarks-for-intel-arc-a380-desktop-graphics-spotted-on-par-with-nvidias-rtx-3050-ti-laptop-gpu/

And A380 seems to be their "entry level" card?

So if 128 EU's can match 3050

512 EUs should defo be enough to match 3070

Let's just hope that it's cheap and available and has good drivers

[crimson wigeon]

Entry level
400 €

That is true, my little experience is that Intel graphics on Linux is a smoother experience than on Windows

[pallid totem]

Pick two of the above.

[cursive summit]

I'll pick all of them

[pale sigil]

Discord battery drain on steroids

[pallid totem]

Intel doesn't have a keynote this year.

They're doing press releases during CES though.

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter because nvidia is going to release high end product and intel just the gpus that are low end to mabye mid range

so no chance of last minute adjustments

and I'm certain intel's cheapest gpu will be below 300 (msrp at least)

just because they first need people to buy it so it is more out there in the wild and getting used

and not by people who are not general users

[pallid totem]

We don't have swarms, but we do have rescue drones hereabouts now. FLIR/Thermal equipped, for searching inaccessible areas. Cheaper than helos.

I love how you can basically do a clean install of clear Linux by just deleting /etc and /var

Very very neat

Their stateless design is really clever

Legit rubbed my eyes thinking I was tired when seeing that img

[ashen spindle]

lol

sad they didn't call it the xD lineup

[old marlin]

assumedly just a 5800X with a shitton of cache?

[ashen spindle]

maybe better binning too yes

[pale sigil]

Damn, would have been amazing

AMD XD

[lean otter]

What the keyboard do

[cursive summit]

It clicks

And sends a signal via USB I guess?

That's about it

Oh and also

https://tenor.com/view/lasers-concert-lights-gif-5102526

LAYZERRS

[cursive summit]

FINALLY

USB4 is here

BT 5.2 is also big

[crimson wigeon]

FOR GAMERS

[cursive summit]

DP2 also pretty cool

[ashen spindle]

Doesn’t really matter if the new chips are a big focus on igpu power where they are miles ahead

Different price segment

[old marlin]

isn't USB4 just a repurposed TB standard?

[cursive summit]

If it is, then it sucks at it

Cause no eGPU support afaik

[old marlin]

might be a driver thing?
