Yeah, they are kinda crazy with the sales lately. If you already know you like the game then great, if you don't mind their app. Otherwise it has the feel of a fire sale, IDK.

# violet tapir what is the best config for an vega 6 graphics

There are no "best settings." Please understand that every setup, for every use case, will be different. Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming at best.

We recommend that you start off by using Auto-Config to get a baseline of where your settings should be; click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can test and adjust from there.

the wave at function in Discord seems broken to me
I don't see how forced pings make any sense

#

I think servers should leave that disabled

#

it can be like 5 to 10 waves over the course of a few hours in not small/socialable servers
a.k.a. 5 to 10 pings

#

I think a lot of servers just don't realize how bad it is until someone tells them.. I know one server, that was the case.. once I sent a modmail in and explained it, they disabled it
kind of wild to me how this is still a thing, it just seems broken... guess it's called Discord for a reason

terse helm
#

either that or you are vastly overstating the importance of pings

carmine ibex
#

I mean, I got pings days later in some servers that had it enabled
it just... it doesn't seem good

terse helm
#

yeah, so?

carmine ibex
#

I think it should be disabled
you don't need the wave at function, you can still have a welcome channel that people can say hi, if they want
they can send a proper ping to you, if they want

#

maybe there is a way to disable pings on your end, I never found out how

#

(no, it's not right clicking the server icon)

terse helm
#

tbh I think you're making mountains out of molehills

#

a ping is nothing

#

you're making it seem like if you get pinged there's a localised earthquake

carmine ibex

I don't think ten pings over a few hours or even days later is a good thing

amber sparrow

I don't understand getting butt hurt over pings(I like to use these pingus just out of boredom when pinged)

terse helm
carmine ibex
#

it can be a bit overwhelming when you join a server and you keep getting pings and have to go back to the server and see someone waving at you, imo
yes, everyone is different

#

I don't like getting bombarded with ten people saying hi when I join a server and notified about that every time...
sucks to be me, I guess

terse helm
#

then imo your problem isn't with the wave function but with the join message function

#

which yes, should be disabled in anything but small friend servers

carmine ibex
#

if you don't get a ping about it, it can be easily ignored
I guess you can ignore pings and just let it pass over a day and then clear it.. but it just.. meh

please try to actually detail

encoder overload

wise bayBOT
civic quarry
#

or a network frame drop

karmic tiger
#

pop by support and we can likely have a look at it

#

but it's likely a limitation of your hardware/network, so more plugins wouldn't solve it

civic quarry
#

i actually been addressing this issue and i had trouble resolving it

prisma dove
# civic quarry encoder overload

That's an resource issue of your pc, for encoder overload. Too many encoding sessions, one for each stream output plus each recording output. The more outputs you want, the better a pc you need.

civic quarry
#

while obs doesn't

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

well

karmic tiger
#

(but once again people creating more plugins won't somehow solve your performance issue)

#

that can only be solved by tuning your settings

prisma dove
# civic quarry its just that its shared

Try streaming to just one stream service, one at a time. Build up your channel and your audience at each one, just not all at the same time. Give each stream a quality look and feel to it. Don't try to divide your hardware and internet resources to 2+ streams at a time, giving each one an inferior quality.

still mica
civic quarry
#

yes

#

free trial

#

the server of streamlabs does all the work

#

of my multistreaming

#

30 days

terse helm
#

so just keep using that if it works for you

still mica
#

Yeah, the reason that works is because you're only creating a single stream and sending it to one of their servers. Your system can't handle encoding multiple streams, so that's pretty much the only option you have.

left mulch
#

yes, restream would be the same as well.

civic quarry
#

ok

still mica
#

And that kind of service will always cost money, because servers cost money.

#

You want someone else to run the hardware/do the work for you? Got to pay up for the service.

#

Actually I am kinda out of options here

#

Because my pc is what my parents bought me for Christmas present

prisma dove
karmic tiger
#

you have two options : either pay a service to do the multistreaming for you, or do the multistreaming yourself but limit it to what your computer can do

civic quarry
#

I am with streamlabs

prisma dove
#

congrats

civic quarry
#

But I cant seem to continue because it cost money

karmic tiger
civic quarry
#

I am also in process of saving things up

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

Yeah I know because I am desperate for these options

karmic tiger
#

there is no other option than those two

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

Because I do not have that much of a income

prisma dove
#

Besides, does multistreaming help you in such a way that it is worth the risk of sending out an inferior stream?

civic quarry
#

Whats a inferior streaming

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

It is

#

Good ones

#

With streamlabs it is

#

But not with obs

#

I am also in a process of obtaining xsplit license

prisma dove
#

Because with Streamlabs Desktop, you send one stream to them, and they do the multistreaming. With OBS, you and your pc do the multistreaming. Streamlabs does that as a service, so your pc can handle one stream.

#

Do you understand the difference of one being a service and the other as active functions you have to manage on your pc?

civic quarry
#

Ok

prisma dove
#

"ok" is an odd answer to a yes or no question. I'll will assume it's really a "no" and you can enjoy the rest of your free trial.

civic quarry
#

γ… 

amber sparrow
#

Looks like xsplit is similar to aitum and multi rtmp

#

So if those are causing overload, xsplit will as well

civic quarry
#

Oh ok

amber sparrow
#

And xsplit looks to be $200

prisma dove
#

which brings you back to the two options for multistreaming:
Better hardware/internet upload
Pay for a subscription multistream service to do it for you.

amber sparrow
#

So if ya can't afford the SLD price, xsplit is likely even further out of range

civic quarry
#

I looked at that

#

I currently just yesterday got a 25 dollar visa gift card

#

#

They just gifted me that

karmic tiger
#

ok, but you understand how literally none of this changes one iota to what we're telling you?

civic quarry
#

But still not enough too get the subscription

#

Your hardware and internet are not very good at all for multistreaming from your pc. You should consider single stream content until you have the hardware and internet service that can support multistreaming to your satisfaction.

These days when I plug in a new device (for instance, a PlayStation Controller, a new monitor, or if I upgrade Nvidia drivers) I instinctively open up Windows Sound Control Panel so I can right-click perma Disable the audio device that gets setup with it...because Windows will always make this the new Default device. In addition, I've made it a habit of setting OBS audio devices (input and output) as explicit devices rather than relying on Default. And I always recommend this to my friends who use OBS.

Is this not a frequent experience for other folks? Just for instance here's an excerpt from my Sound Control Panel showing two of my monitors as Disabled playback devices, as well as the Nvidia HD Audio stuff disabled. Granted, my setup is atypical but this experience seems to have bitten other folks I've helped in the past. (Pen was just explaining t things to me in #audio-support around Windows Device IDs changing under everything and OBS being unable to find devices as a result.)

(This isn't a support question, I swear πŸ˜… Mostly a sanity check to see if this is in fact something specific to my hardware / something I did at some point that set me up for this Default Device Cannot Be Trusted situation I'm in.)

I've seen this happen and not happen. Not sure what the root cause is. Even at work where we have about 200 workstations - with many from the same lot - some do it and some don't.

open rune
#

Generally Windows only does this for devices it hasn't seen before, once you've plugged it in once it should remember whether it's supposed to be the default

neon spoke
#

Really boils down to a pet peeve of mine. Audio routing is complex enough without Windows trying to help.

open rune
#

I load a preset from sound volume view on boot and anytime some audio device is not configured correctly, it sets the correct default and volume levels and all that

#

But I also don't have a lot of variance in audio devices on my system, things are pretty static

It's maddening.

I asctually wanted to write something that would look to see where audio devices were on the USB bus and look up their GUID and set OBS appropriately, to fix that problem on my music streamer's setup (which is really complex, with lots of audio devices), and ... best I can tell, there's no actual way to map where something is on the USB bus to the audio device's GUID. Arrgghh.

neon spoke
still mica
#

Yuuuup. And it'd be ok if the GUID would just stay the same after it was set, but when it periodically changes because of windows being windows... yeah, bigger problem. Fire up the stream and a bunch of audio devices just don't work. (and for us it's even worse, because we've got multiples of the same type of device, so we can't just say "set the monitor device to the UR44" because we have several)

neon spoke
#

They all have precisely the same identifier string, only the bus ID differs

left mulch
#

I think the real solution is for OBS to use hardware ID instead of GUID but this is without really thinking about what issues that might cause itself

#

but if hw ID was used it could just be mapped to the GUID anytime the device is loaded

still mica
#

Can it be, though? I've never found a way to do that mapping.

neon spoke
left mulch
still mica
#

@neon spoke I think they're talking about the PCI\VEN_1234&DEV_5678 type of string that hardware devices have.

#

I must misunderstand you both? Or maybe this is more specific to GPUs than I realized, but for instance:

% ./iommu_group.sh | grep -i nvidia
IOMMU Group 7 0000:3b:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation AD104GL [RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation] [10de:27b0] (rev a1)
IOMMU Group 7 0000:3b:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:22bc] (rev a1)
IOMMU Group 9 0000:af:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation AD104GL [RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation] [10de:27b0] (rev a1)
IOMMU Group 9 0000:af:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:22bc] (rev a1)

The HD IDs for both of those cards are "NVIDIA Corporation AD104GL [RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation] [10de:27b0] (rev a1)" ... which are bitwise identical. They're different because being in different physical slots lands them into different IOMMU groups (which can be exploited to uniquenly id them) but the hw id string was of no use to me.

#

(Each of them has an audio device of course, which is the paired device in its respective IOMMU group)

#

(I ran into the same issue trying to differ them in Windows 11 on that same hardware.)

still mica
#

Hmm. Yeah, you're right, I guess the actual device path isn't actually part of that id.

I had PKEY_Device_ContainerId in my notes that I found but don't remember what that meant πŸ˜„

^^ Speaking of HDMI audio, am I the only one that finds it really, really strange that in the nvidia control panel, you can turn off the HDMI audio for some devices, but never all of them?

neon spoke
#

I'll never forgive Nvidia for wading into audio <_< stay in your lane, geez

terse helm
#

I think you can just only do it for the HDMI output

still mica
terse helm
#

that other HDMI you have is a DP->HDMI conversion

#

and that is probably because of DVI devices

still mica
neon spoke
terse helm
#

because it numbers from DP 1 to DP 3

still mica
#

Ooh, lol

terse helm
#

and because nvidia 4090s have 3 DP ports and 1 HDMI port

still mica
#

Though I don't really see why that should matter in this case, it's still weird!

terse helm
#

agreed

left mulch
#

so in a perfect world, OBS would store the containerID and then grab the endpoint that WASAPI uses every time the device is loaded

#

I am sure there is some complication to this I am not seeing/understanding though, I am not an expert by any means just spent some time reading through docs

#

but without OBS storing the containerID there wouldn't be any way for you to link an outdated device guid to the updated one after it has changed

still mica
neon spoke
#

My understanding is that PKEY_Device_ContainerId can also change across major Windows Updates (or if you unplug and replug the device) but I have yet to find again the thing that led me to believe that πŸ€ͺ so I guess just rumor for now. It would be pretty great if this is the trick.

#

Way to pass the buck, Microsoft

image.png
terse helm
#

well, no

#

if two copies of the device report identically to the system then the system can't make anything unique about them

#

so the device has to report something like a serial number

#

that note exists because many vendors of really cheap clone hardware (usually from China) don't go through the trouble of doing that

(arguably this can also be useful in terms of having a plug-and-play backup that doesn't require any reconfiguration)

no one expects their computer to lose track of their webcam because they plugged it into a different port

left mulch
#

IDK if we are talking about the same thing still but containerID should persist between swapping USB ports from what I understand

neon spoke
#

My gut tells me / wants it to be deterministic: like, okay, I have two devices that are identical plugged into different slots. Those slots are not identical. So like...okay, if I have two houses that are perfect duplicates of one another on different street names but both in the same town, there's still a part of that address specification that helps to tell them apart. And it is not remotely that simple due to how USB and PCI each surface device information. (This is more about my lack of know-how around the stuff, not so much a criticism of how it works.)

terse helm
#

the fact that those slots(/ports) are not identical is useful to the computer so that the computer can tell which otherwise-identical device to talk to, but the user does not generally expect what port she plugged the device into to matter

or at least, that would be a very niche use-case

well, people could just.. you know.. download everything on their own drives, pfft

I realize it's about 10GB for 7 and a half hours of video (assuming 6mbps)

no.. 20?

like $300 of storage?

I'm assuming it's on 3 to 4 drives.. but I guess then you need a system in place that costs more money than just the drives

and then you factor in that no one thinks to look up past VODs on Twitch

and, again, there's no search function or anything... they really didn't want it used as this
so it's just.. horrible to look up anything

so unless it's in the title...

#

that 7 day limit for non prime/turbo/affiliate people is kind of gross
idk why I thought it was 14 days for everyone
I had prime, so it was 60 days for me
crazy how just linking a prime account to your Twitch will give you 60 days of VODs...

amber sparrow
#

Well data storage is expensive(especially for something that probably only gets a super slight fraction of watch hours vs live)

#

Twitch isn't built for that. YT is

carmine ibex
#

and I guess if you are not affiliate, you probably don't have many viewers to begin with

#

And lets not forget there have been a couple of VOD purges over the years at this point, one right when Amazon bought Twitch due to how different the switch over to the new system (at the time) was

wheat karma
#

These few users who are highlighting thousands of hours...why

jaunty fulcrum
#

instead of reuploading/transferring to youtube, which takes time & lowers bitrate

wheat karma
#

Tbh anyone even streaming that much and having thousands of hours highlighted, I imagine they must be pretty big streamers with some $$$? In that case maybe there's a business opportunity there if they really don't want to put those vods on YouTube due to reduced quality and time, time is money so maybe twitch can offer increased limits for some $$$?

#

But I think the reality is nobody would cough up the money cos nobody watches those highlights really lol, so yeah

jaunty fulcrum
wheat karma
#

True

#

Just a random idea but just highlights how useless the highlights are

#

100 hours is pretty decent tho

jaunty fulcrum
#

yeah 100 hours is a sane limit

#

Reminds me of the Google photos unlimited storage, a few people exploited the hell out of it

#

I think google deletes accounts now after 2 years of inactivity?

carmine ibex
# wheat karma Tbh anyone even streaming that much and having thousands of hours highlighted, I...

I mean, that's what I was thinking
but they would need to improve the system, first... BE ABLE TO SEARCH FOR A GAME.. you can't even do that
have to scroll down for... minutes, because it lags and takes ages to get to what you want... and then have to remember the title and ctrl+f! can't ctrl+f game, because it doesn't have it in text, only an image!
it's... horrible.. there needs to be a search function

#

it's definitely doable to come up with a system like this, but idk if the logistics are worth dealing with

wheat karma
#

Yeah, honestly always felt the twitch UI really could do with some work

carmine ibex
#

like, you could say $250 a year for this... but if someone is uploading like 8 hours of content a day, maybe it'd cost them more? but they could say you are giving us a lot of money in subs, so

wheat karma
#

They probably calculated it's not worth it also because it's just a few accounts really hoarding data

#

But people moving vods to utube is benefitting the competition

carmine ibex
#

yeah

#

people just don't think to look up past content on Twitch.. they think YT

#

honestly, a 1080p stream uploaded to YT looks... good enough? I'm not super picky

#

even 720p looks... okay? as long as the video isn't heavily compressed to begin with

#

main issue are dark areas, YT just absolutely butchers those

jaunty fulcrum
#

terse helm
#

sheesh

#

assuming 65TiB, that's $1500+ a month to store

#

or half that if they use S3-IA

carmine ibex
#

you could argue that's likely only a few percent of cost that Twitch made
but you also factor in that

  1. this is not designed as a backup service and
  2. views basically turn to zero pretty quickly.... and I can see why this change is being made
    I guess if someone wants their VODs in full viewing quality of what they were streamed, they are better off uploading to like Google Drive or something (not sure I'd trust Google Drive, actually)
#

I also don't think it's great because it's 30 fps limit and recompressed until you download... but, yeah, something like it

terse helm
#

well if only one streamer had that kind of archive I'm sure they wouldn't care

#

even if that one streamer was deeply unprofitable

#

they said "less than 0.5% of active streamers" but twitch has a fuckton of active streamers, so that number is still large

#

a quick google says twitch has 6.9 million streamers, taking that generously and rounding down to 6 million that's still 30.000 people with over 100 hours of video stored

#

if even a fraction of that (say 100-ish) has that level of archive, it's over a $100.000 every month

vernal current
#

today πŸ₯°

terse helm
#

so it seems to me like twitch has found an easy way to save probably several million usd a year, while affecting only a very small percentage of users

carmine ibex
#

wait, Google Drive highest tier is 2TB anyway
lol

#

but, again, I wasn't suggesting it..

copper notch
#

I did some napkin math based on what a few people posted they're using on Twitter of # of hours of video, and it seems that Twitch is likely to save a half a billion to 1+ billion dollars from this move easily.

#

One person appears to be using around 67 petabytes of storage there, which is about 2 million dollars of storage.

#

Gotta be others like them, and with millions of streamers on the platform, some percentage are using this loophole. Hard to predict how many, but even conservative numbers add up to hundreds of millions of dollars in storage.

#

That one person using 60+ petabytes... would have to download a petabyte of video per day, and then also upload them to YouTube simultaneously or buy 1+ petabytes of local storage in order to preserve their video in the next 60 days. Plus it would take time to find that storage, buy it, receive it and set it all up, upping the daily download/upload requirements in the process. If they didn't transcode most of it upscaled to 1440p or higher, YouTube will mangle the quality of 1080p uploads making it look like crap too, so they'd need to process 62+ petabytes of video in realtime. Good luck. LOL That doesn't take into account any file size, total disk space usage, or per-day total size or number of files that YouTube would rate limit someone to either.

#

Some people gonna lose a lot of their videos.

terse helm
#

who has 60PB?

stable forge
#

Yeah, what

terse helm
#

60PiB at 8Mbps (being generous here) is 2100 years of video

#

I don't think anyone has streamed that much

#

the only way around that would be the trick where (afaik) videos uploaded (as opposed to streamed) to twitch aren't subject to bitrate limits, but even then it'd be pretty ridiculous

wanton coral
#

Sixty Petabytes of streaming for one person is unfathomable that sounds flat out wrong

terse helm
#

yeah someone either mathed that wrong or has been keeping an uploaded archive of multiple streamers

stable forge
#

The math was calculated but boy was it wrong

wanton coral
carmine ibex
#

If it was 67PB, it would be easily 2 million, if not more
But 67PB is insane

terse helm
#

60PiB a month costs 120k usd a month to store

#

so times 12 for a year -> over a million usd

carmine ibex
terse helm
#

though again it's likely to be 60TiB rather than PiB, which would cost a lot less but still a lot

#

also, those numbers are from Amazon S3 which is what twitch uses to store this data

#

even if Twitch gets a deal from Amazon (which people say they don't, but I think is likely), there's still the opportunity cost for Amazon

wanton coral
#

Is that the retail cost though? or the actual cost

terse helm
#

storing 60TB of twitch vods is 60TB of storage they can't sell to someone else

wanton coral
#

Amazon still passes the margin onto their subsidiaries?

terse helm
#

so for all intents and purposes it costs what they say it does

#

tbh amazon's S3 storage is so cheap I doubt they're making bank on it; I think they primarily use it as an enabler for other services

#

(I'm not suggesting they operate it at a loss, but that the margins on it are slimmer than other services they offer, given especially there's more competition in that space)

wanton coral
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they're operating it at a loss. It makes sense to get as many people on there as possible and then incrementally raise the prices over time as the vendor lock in hits.

terse helm
#

there's no vendor lock-in for object storage however

copper notch
#

So this streamer has reported that they have 22,699hrs 36m of video data on Twitch. To estimate the numerics on this, I will make the assumption that all of this video content was live streamed at 6,000kbps which is arguably the standard bitrate that most streamers use for their live streams. All of the math can be scaled up or down from this to any other average bitrate to produce a range of possible disk usage scenarios at other bitrates if one desired. I'll simplify it to 6Mbps to make the numbers more palatable.

So, at 6Mbps, one hour of video would be 6 * 60 * 60 megabits per hour = 21,600 Mbph. Dividing that by 8 to convert from megabits per hour to megabytes per hour we get: 21600/8 = 2,700 megabytes per hour.

I will round off the number of hours they stated to the nearest hour for simplicity giving 22700hours of video. Multiply that by 2,700MB/h and you get: 22700 * 2700 = 61,290,000 MB of total data. Divide this by 1024 gives 59,853.515625 terabytes of data, and divide that by 1024 gives 58.4506988525390625 petabytes of data total.

If you then divide the total amount of data by the approximately 58 days that they have remaining until Twitch deletes the data it works out to 1.007770669871363146551724137931 petabytes of data per day that they would have to download locally and store, requiring over 60PB of storage (remembering that not all space on a hard disk is usable due to filesystem overhead). They would also need a massive server to hold all the data. It would take time to requisition the hardware and build such a storage array, which would delay being able to initiate the preservation, and increase the daily downloading and processing requirements accordingly.

There's my "bad napkin math", feel free to improve it.. πŸ™‚

#

there are hundreds of object storage providers, most of which S3-compatible meaning they're drop-in services

#

I didn't calculate what the network bandwidth requirements would be for downloading yet, nor how an ISP would respond to having that much data pass through their network on an "unlimited" plan. πŸ™‚

terse helm
#

yeah the vendor lock-in comes from the other stuff, not the object storage

copper notch
wanton coral
#

Yeah but that's what I'm talking about it being used as a loss leader to get people on there and locked in

terse helm
wanton coral
#

Once you're already using a platform for one thing it makes sense to start using it for other stuff too

terse helm
#

I will round off the number of hours they stated to the nearest hour for simplicity giving 22700hours of video. Multiply that by 2,700MB/h and you get: 22700 * 2700 = 61,290,000 MB of total data. Divide this by 1024 gives 59,853.515625 terabytes of data, and divide that by 1024 gives 58.4506988525390625 petabytes of data total.

#

you forgot a step

#

namely, gigabytes

#

61,290,000 MB / 1024 = 59853.515 GiB / 1024 = 58.450 TiB

wanton coral
#

Is there any additional lossless compression you can do on video data encoded in formats like H.264 and H.265 if you have a huge data set of similar content? Because I know small scale there's really nothing to gain but over hundreds of gigabytes of content there has to be more similarities? Unless there's just too much randomness/noise introduced.

#

#

btw there's also a significant digits problem, because your numbers are too precise :P

#

58.4506988525390625 * 1000^5 58450698852539062.5000000000000000

#

half bits

copper notch
#

Ok, I get 58.4506988525390625 terabytes now, which is a lot but is feasible at least. I downloaded around 6TB of data in a week about a year and a half ago and that wasn't full bore, spread throughout the week. So it could be possible to download that much data on high speed Internet throughout 2 months and convert it afterall.

copper notch
terse helm
#

it's feasible to do yeah, though for this size of archive 2 months is admittedly a bit tight

copper notch
#

It would still be a tremendous amount of work, but it is not difficult to download 1+TB of data per day on a good modern Internet connection. An ISP may not be fond of it though depending on the provider and plan.

#

But then they'd have to either straight upload, or convert and upload it on the fly too, or buy probably around 70-80TB of storage to hold it.

#

(due to power of 10 versus power of 1024 math, and OS filesystem overhead)

#

HDDs are sold with power of 10, while traditional computing numbers are power of 1024

#

The whole MB vs MiB nonsense πŸ™‚

terse helm
#

the number in my wolfram alpha screenshot is in base-10

copper notch
#

One could custom format the drives with HUGE block sizes though to recover a lot of the usual overhead to make more efficient use of the disk space though.

terse helm
#

of course that's assuming this streamer was a twitch guidelines streamer, at 6Mbps

copper notch
#

For massive files it makes sense to use the largest possible blocksize.

terse helm
#

which given they were doing the "highlight all the vods" trick I doubt they were

copper notch
#

Also if it was Linux, you could compute the number of files and specify the max number of inodes to further reduce overhead.

terse helm
#

so more realistically I think they're dealing with this

image.png
copper notch
#

I got 77.739429473876953125 from that

#

Not sure what the disk overhead is on NTFS default format, but for data like this I would totally custom format it.

#

But I'd actually do it in Linux to control it further. πŸ™‚

#

Another factor is with that many disks, the chances of a bad disk get higher, so one would probably want to use RAID 5 or 6 with 6-8 drives in each array to avoid data loss.

#

So additional storage would need to make up for the redundancies.

#

Can you imagine being tasked to pull off a preservation like this within the time constraints? πŸ™‚

terse helm
#

given enough budget I could do it

copper notch
#

$3000CAD for the storage should more than cover it I think, but still a lot of unexpected expenditure if one was in that situation.

#

Not counting storage space for file conversion to retain max quality on YouTube (preserving the originals)

What rule of this community did the account violate? Most moderators don't want to do Discord's job of policing your DM's and friend requests. That's between you and the other user.
Besides, kicking them from the server does nothing to punish the account in question. Reporting it to Discord adds it to their list of data, including login/account information, public IP connections, and any other things they can use to see patterns.

fairly certain a lot of headphones can do well past the rated frequency, just it may not be "as good"

#

I know my headphones said 50khz as the top, but I recorded with my microphone, and it did pick up 96khz (very, very, VERY faintly)

#

so, who knows if like the Sony 120khz ones are actually better than a headphone that only rates for like 30khz...
Sony seems to like to boast ridiculously high frequencies, so they are gonna put it on the spec sheet.. the ~$400 ones are rated for.. is it 80khz?

#

and the 96khz being picked up very faintly was probably the microphone's fault more than the headphone's.. I would guess

#

interestingly, a higher quality microphone I have now really only picks up to like... 30khz? but that is... more than enough

wheat karma
#

I always wondered what my cat was hearing that I can't, guess I need a good mic

copper notch
#

You'd need to use a 192kHz+ sample rate to actually pick that up however, and a DAC that can convert it and speakers that can output it to actually emit the audio though.

carmine ibex
#

a lot of audio interfaces can do 192khz, yeah

wheat karma
#

Well I don't need to worry about emitting the audio as I can't hear it xd

#

But the sony headphones should do doggolul

carmine ibex
#

of course, there's the nyquist frequency.. but I think that just means there's less accuracy past a certain point
like only 0-20khz is accurate with a 44.1khz sample rate

#

but you do have 22050hz of frequencies

copper notch
#

Yes, with Nyquist Theorem you need 2x+ sample frequency

marsh helm
#

fancy sounding words

mighty turret
carmine ibex
#

then why did they do 44.1khz sample rate cerbyHuh

#

I thought the goal was to just get 20khz of accurate frequencies

mighty turret
#

Because no band limiter is perfect and they all have some amount of rolloff

#

The extra sample rate provides the headroom needed for that

tall vapor
#

Honestly that's one of those "okie so might not quite understand why but analog stuffs is messy so that's prolly why yes" things

#

so ya do sample more often than what would be strictly necessary (as it would be if ya think of it in a digital way, at least) to account for analog mess

mighty turret
#

In an ideal world, you'd have a low pass filter that cuts off at exactly 20kHz, and then you would only need 40kHz to represent everything up to that perfectly. In practice, every filter has a transition band, so if you cut everything completely above 20kHz, you will also have some amount of frequencies below that being attenuated.

tall vapor
#

yup, in an ideal world, but nothing is ideal so it's much easier to go with "okie let's just store more data than would be strictly necessary if everything was perfect"

#

Interesting, I’m not sure I understand everything, but I always thought the reason 44khz and 48khz sample rates were the standard, was to support those with super-human hearing. In case your hearing went slightly beyond 20khz.

And in turn I wondered why the standards weren’t just designed to top out at like, 18khz or something to save on cost and bandwidth. Most people I know can’t hear beyond 18khz

I have also heard that modern codecs/encoders like AAC and OPUS outright ignore anything above 14khz unless they are provided a significant amount of bandwidth or encounter significant amounts of noise in those ranges

I sometimes wonder what its like to be a dog or cat in a human world. Due to me needing to watch out for my hearing I downloaded a few apps, and in turn discovered that a lot of appliances produce constant noise around 20khz, give or take a few kHz.

So, ONCE, the very first PC I ever built for myself as a kid (I was 17?) it was like 1997...it did NOT have sufficient fans in it and the fans were cheap and basically all died. The PC naturally started overheating then power-cycling to recover from it. I pulled the case off of it and the frame had begun to bend and warp from heat damage

I couldn't get the case back on (this was still the days of those gross off-white cases, solid metal covers that fit like a partial shoebox cover) so I set my box fan next to it and the thing had never run faster.

Lessons learned.
