[graceful burrow]

Just doesn't support the standard everyone is using

[autumn skiff]

Yea
I mainly game tbh

I'm looking for like a 6800 or 6900

I want the funny number card

[graceful burrow]

Great cards

[autumn skiff]

But it's still too much money in Bulgaria

[neon mesa]

it is on linux

[autumn skiff]

No it's on windows using shark
That's what I read in their thing

Like I have read what they use to get AMD results multiple times

Also for me on windows using shark it's the same performance as Linux using A1111
But Linux and qDiffusion is way faster

4img/m vs 5

[neon mesa]

the shark thing is a suggestion by them

[heavy swan]

is cyberpunk a good game now?

[neon mesa]

arc has Open vino

[autumn skiff]

Well I don't think there is actual performance difference in my testing

[graceful burrow]

Ye it's pretty decent now

[heavy swan]

worth 30 euros?

[graceful burrow]

It's still a bit buggy but they're funny bugs not game breaking or progression stopping bugs

[graceful burrow]

For me it was

[heavy swan]

ah alright

looking to buy a game but dont know which one

[graceful burrow]

Half life 2 + episodes

[neon mesa]

personally meh, but that's just my taste

[graceful burrow]

Some of the best gameplay and writing in gaming and it runs on fuckin anything nowadays

[autumn skiff]

If they used qDiffusion
The 7900xtx would get an approximate 31.2img/s

[neon mesa]

wait for half life 2x2 gen 2 (what's a "three")

[heavy swan]

oh, detroit become human is pretty cheap now

[autumn skiff]

Wait

I can't find my Detroit become morshu image

[white pawn]

ooh, let's get into an argument about circles! umm, Circles are just safely shaped squares, fight me! 🙂

[sage quiver]

Squares with rounded corners >

[white pawn]

I got my first one because i missed "o" in account and it was all "you said a bad word!" LOL

[autumn skiff]

Why did this message have a lot of reactions for me

Like it had
Dankpods

[white pawn]

well, don't we suck at arguing 🙂 guess we just agree

[sage quiver]

We've failed the internet.

[sage quiver]

Ooooh

[graceful burrow]

I can fix that
Im good at arguing

[white pawn]

dunno, i saw "circular arguments" and my brain took off 🙂

[polar fern]

Good at arguing and acting like a jerk are two completely different things 😎

[white pawn]

good pics! that first one is gorgeous

[autumn skiff]

Thanks

[polar fern]

Got to love this yo-yo weather, 50° and 70% humidity and then 27°, 40% humidity within a six hour span

Fahrenheit of course

I heavily dislike the new discord app revamp

It’s cartoonish and stupid

[neon mesa]

yee yee ass unit

[graceful burrow]

I'm good at both

[polar fern]

Correct

[white pawn]

I learned almost everything I needed about arguing from Monty Python 🙂

[polar fern]

Do you have a trout on hand?

[white pawn]

sadly, i do not

[polar fern]

Then you must be sacked

[white pawn]

ahhh! 🙂

[polar fern]

New discord app, totally fine with zero problems

Is discord owned by Microsoft now because it really feels that way

[white pawn]

I'm afraid i was already sacked after sacking the people responsible for the subtitles, total moose prejudice i tell ya

[graceful burrow]

Nah feels more like discord is owned by a dying crypto company

You know I'm right

[waxen verge]

Haven't heard someone describe it like that, but honestly, it really does feel like that..

[polar fern]

And now for something completely different

[graceful burrow]

Mines cuter

[polar fern]

Gato

[hot tartan]

I like this picture

It’s good

[polar fern]

My sinuses are doing the equivalent of setting the downtown on fire to my head

[polar fern]

Pretty cats

Goofy oversized ui. Discord - why?

Chat is now even less of the screen

[white pawn]

i'd post pics of my dogs but its a royal pain the ass for some reason, even using the discord app on my phone

nice! did you say yes?

[graceful burrow]

Tech server btw

[tardy terrace]

Ahh, teenage hormones..

[graceful burrow]

You're right it's technically ltt chat

#off-topic tbh

[white pawn]

hey, im 46 and every time my wife asks me to do something with her my brain freezes too 🙂 (not that you pervs!)

[polar fern]

“One of the hottest girls asked me out!” so spend time with this person and try to enjoy yourself and stop thinking about it. Ez

[tardy terrace]

Not all of us don't have social anxiety.

[polar fern]

It’s not even about anxiety

People really need to stop caring so much about what other people think

Just be your best self, and if they don’t like that, oh well, too bad for them

Can’t spend your life trying to please the assumptions of other people

Man, I cannot even get over how stupid the new discord app looks

It’s a fucking joke, and I might actually stop using it

It’s like an insult to my brain

[tardy terrace]

lol ok bud

[polar fern]

Fite meh

[tardy terrace]

Can't, starting a plane

[polar fern]

Sounds avionic

[marsh carbon]

New discord theme. I kinda wanted to hate it but tbh its fine

[polar fern]

It’s bloated

[tardy terrace]

Yeah there's a lotta shit to push

[brittle beacon]

Does this server do notifications for events and stuff? I don’t use social media and I want to be able to participate in future community stuff

[sage quiver]

It beats the bigger change they tested a little while back

[neon mesa]

ah a10 user

[marsh carbon]

I like it. Midnight theme is great

[neon mesa]

softest target for my amraam

[marsh carbon]

They put dms in there own spot

[polar fern]

I fart in its general direction

[sage quiver]

Not often, though we did have an exclusive giveaway in October.

[polar fern]

2 inch chat box 2/10

[white pawn]

ya know, if you have the SonysamsugnIphone MegaIphone XXXXXXXXXL your chat box would be 23 inches 😛

[brittle beacon]

Damn, saw the latest video and was hoping I could get notifications here instead of having to download twitter or something

[polar fern]

I don’t want a tablet

Yeah I’m not going to use Twitter just to enter some contest

[tardy terrace]

Forever & always.

[sage quiver]

It's definitely something worth exploring for the future.

[polar fern]

Twitter is basically owned and operated by a bunch of goose-stepping small mustache man fanboys. 0/10, do not recommend.

[polar fern]

What do you call motion on a mouse pad with a built-in calculator?

[tardy terrace]

Calculated

[polar fern]

A calculated move 😔

[graceful burrow]

I can call it made by a startup company in the 90's or early 2000's that inevitably went bankrupt cause their revolutionary product didn't catch on

[polar fern]

This product is currently available

[graceful burrow]

WHAT

[polar fern]

Many variations of calculator mouse pad are available for both single orders or bulk orders

[graceful burrow]

Now that is just truly a shame

[polar fern]

“Contact us for details for orders over 6000 units”

[white pawn]

that really dosn;t shock me, altho one would think it should

[graceful burrow]

That's just ewaste

They're just manufacturing ewaste

[autumn skiff]

I want

[strange elk]

Need a keypad to supplement your keypad?

[polar fern]

90’s stuff was so clunky & odd

Mountains of silvery plastic

The mouse Phone even has a little attachment microphone thing

[strange elk]

Midnight blurple theme I was literally using before themes were a thing essentially lmao

[polar fern]

“Theme” how about just design the app so it’s nice to use in all of the default settings

[strange elk]

^

Im just gonna end up jumping ship

I dont see improvements being made, just more bloat and weird icon/functionality changes

[polar fern]

I’ll use the desktop app, but I think I might delete the app off my phone because it’s literally giving me a headache to use

[strange elk]

Since I dont update the mobile app its fine for the most part (on android)

Desktop just annoys me as I watch it get these updates

iOS was barely usable on older hardware

[white pawn]

i stopped using the phone app cause even when i took pictures thru it, it doesn't format them right and they end up as links. with a worse UI it's even less likely that I will ever reinstall it again

[strange elk]

Discord mid 2019 was prob peak tbh

[glacial crane]

omg

starbucks has 50% off 😍

[polar fern]

I only use the iOS discord app because it allows me to very easily share pictures I’ve taken with my phone

[strange elk]

Ive been using Telegram for almost all of my messaging. Not that theres much I do

[polar fern]

I honestly cannot believe how thick and weird The text entry bar has become

Test.

[strange elk]

They added the gift button, I HATED the app from then on, Now theres a mic botton and

There isnt one here but it triggers with like ms inputs

Its actually stupid

[polar fern]

🤢

[marsh carbon]

Tbh, with discord being free, no ads, i dont mind the gift button

[strange elk]

And thats the problem :>

[marsh carbon]

Does it go away if you have nitro

[graceful burrow]

No

[strange elk]

GUYS GUYS

LOOKGIFT

DO IT

[polar fern]

I don’t care about the gift button, I care about the cartoonish nonsense

[marsh carbon]

The ui?

[polar fern]

Yes

[marsh carbon]

Its much cleaner now

[polar fern]

Im not a 10-year-old needing to constant titillation to use an application

It’s bloated and cartoonish and hurting my head literally

Everything is taking up way more space than it needs to

[marsh carbon]

How is it worse than before

[polar fern]

In fact, I’m out

[lilac bear]

Minecraft players: I have no bounds

[lilac bear]

if you use Android you can install an APK of an older version of discord

[tardy terrace]

Wow he's mad

[spice pine]

Wooo 🙏

[strange elk]

Mic button mostly on my mobile version. No clue what's going on nowadays

[agile heart]

Bruh I'll have to use my real birthday from now on in 4 minutes 😭😭

[eager notch]

I absolutely hate how Google changes the look of the YouTube app like every 3-6 months

[graceful burrow]

You 12 rn?

Bruh

Outta here

[agile heart]

No

[graceful burrow]

Sure sure

[agile heart]

A 12y old wouldn't be able to have 26k followers on his own

[eager notch]

Nope they definitely could

[agile heart]

Anyways

Seconds left and I'll be 18

[graceful burrow]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan's_World

[strange elk]

On his own

[eager notch]

I mean, I worked a job and they had my internal company profile with me 6 years older than I actually was

[strange elk]

Good luck

Its all downhill from here

[agile heart]

Help the police are knocking on the door

[strange elk]

They have come for your taxes

[agile heart]

There are 2 cars and a truck with 40 tons load sticker on it, but it's carrying someone that looks familiar

I remember stealing someone's order few days ago for my whole class but I didn't know I'll get in trouble that much 😢😢

[leaden gale]

Exactly what I did, ain't nobody forcing me to use a clearly inferior version of an application just because the devs are so incredibly delusional that they think they "improved" the experience

[wooden sentinel]

hi

[marsh carbon]

I honestly think they did in this case

[twilit pewter]

hey chat

somebody is trying to dox me

[graceful burrow]

What are we supposed to do about it

[twilit pewter]

idfk give me tips?

delete my acc?

[graceful burrow]

Can if you want ye

[twilit pewter]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ima delete my acc

[graceful burrow]

(deleting your discord account doesn't delete all the messages you've sent)

[manic torrent]

two options

1. dox yourself
2. change your name and identity, move to a different country, start a new life

[twilit pewter]

could do that but one problemo

im only 14 💀

[strange elk]

Imagine being such a loser your self fulfillment is achieved by doxxing minors

I'm miserable, how do you do this?

[soft swan]

Block em

And tell em to fk off and that they’re a clown

[twilit pewter]

[soft swan]

Literally the best way

[summer nova]

I feel like discord is gonna revert mobile changes because of the massive amounts of criticism

Or make it an optional change

[twilit pewter]

just changed my account

[soft swan]

Most of the time it’s fkin Twitter users thinking they can dox someone when it’s just a google search

Like bruh that ain’t doxing

[twilit pewter]

💀

lmao

[soft swan]

I mean tbf

💀 it is true

[twilit pewter]

yea

[soft swan]

U can get rid of it

https://dataconomy.com/2023/12/07/new-discord-ui-is-how-to-revert-discord-update/

[summer nova]

On Apple?

[soft swan]

I think so?

[golden talon]

it only works on apple

iOS devices

[summer nova]

It does not work

You can’t go back

[golden talon]

well its working for me

so idk what to tell you

[summer nova]

There’s no toggle for me

Can you show me the toggle?

[golden talon]

are you on an iphone

[manic torrent]

[x] Use shitty UI

[summer nova]

Last time I checked

[golden talon]

✨

^ tap on that emote

and then press and hold the emote image in the bottom left on the popup

[summer nova]

What’s that meant to do lmao

[golden talon]

toggles between old and new UI

[summer nova]

It just exits the emoji

Is it a nitro thing?

[ionic abyss]

I may grab the silent black switches I saw on aliexprees for$2.75 for 110ct switches

Surely they can't be too bad

[keen shore]

I think it must be hard to be a Linus

[ionic abyss]

I can't be a Linus I do t drop stuff enogh

[summer nova]

We’re you only able to do it yesterday or something?

This is all I got in appearance

[golden talon]

are you pressing and holding the sparkles thing in the bottom left

it toggles it for me

[keen shore]

It must be Linus to be hard

[summer nova]

If your talking about the picture of the emoji your joking

[golden talon]

literally not but ok

[tardy terrace]

its literally a tweaked ui from the one 6 months ago.

[keen shore]

.

`

`

[tardy terrace]

Good job.

[keen shore]

all in a days work /s

[tardy terrace]

Cool. Stop working.

[lilac bear]

Days since discord mobile fucked up: [0]

[idle nymph]

Jesus the new UI is absolute ass on mobile

[tardy terrace]

Y'all complain about UI too much

be glad Discord exists in the first place

[lilac bear]

discord UI? more like UTI

[keen shore]

all in a days work ^^^

[idle nymph]

UI is one of the most important place ofc I'm gonna complain if it's aas

[keen shore]

They have taken away the ability to comment on articles for the news sites in my country

[idle nymph]

Ass

[tardy terrace]

Y'all make it sound so serious, but the "new" UI has been out for.. 6 months?

[idle nymph]

No ?

I litteraly just got it

And its ass ASF

[tardy terrace]

Then why did I get the new UI update message, but no UI update. It's almost like I've been running it for months.

the hold-the-star-emoji opt-in has been a thing. For six months.

They pushed the news again to get y'all to do it, and the rest of you who refuse get it forced. Because it's a decent UI.

[idle nymph]

Decent, but worse than the old one

[keen shore]

It's -50c in Russia

[tardy terrace]

Damb.

I'd love a blizzard right now

[lilac bear]

[kindred coyote]

[graceful burrow]

No I need YOUR help

[polar fern]

ur is an extinct civilization

[kindred coyote]

since gta 6 is going to be on console only at lauch, PS5 or Xbox 😮

[polar fern]

literally doesnt matter

[kindred coyote]

It does at the store 😛

[polar fern]

sounds like a "how much money am i spending" problem

[full fossil]

my game keeps tabbing out and its locked at 60fps how do i fix it

[polar fern]

turn off vsync

[full fossil]

i did

[polar fern]

tabbing out? no idea what that even is

[full fossil]

like if u click alt tab

it does that but im not even clicking it

[polar fern]

dunno what that is

[full fossil]

it kicks me out the game and brings me to the windows hoem pag

[polar fern]

in a browser?

[full fossil]

no im playing any game like rocket league valorant cod

[polar fern]

"windows home page"

i dont play any of that nonsense, sorry ❤️

[kindred coyote]

so what are u playing 😮

[polar fern]

now? nothing

i'm not a "gamer"

[kindred coyote]

[polar fern]

make sure your settings have your monitor at the right refresh rate and resolution, disable vsync in game, and turn off all those kinda things in the monitor settings

if its still 60 fps its the game, not the hardware

[kindred coyote]

Some does lock to 60 in multiplayer

[polar fern]

correct

easier to sync players that way

[full fossil]

i was getting 350 fps in val a few months ago and after i turned on my pc for the first time since then it just wont go above 60

[vapid smelt]

have you tried buying a new pc?

[gilded quest]

Is it running on iGPU
Will the game not go above 60, or the monitor

[full fossil]

Is it possible that apple used to have Intel processors beds Intel uses "i" in their products too

i5 , i7
imac , ipad

[full fossil]

my monitor is 60hz but i used to get 300-400 fps

[gilded quest]

What CPU do you have

Did the game turn on vsync

Did the drive turn on vsync

Are your drivers corrupted

[fallow matrix]

Why gta 5 running 7 fps on my pc

I have 32 gigs of ram

A ryzen 7

And an rtx 3050

I thought gta 5 was a 10 yr old game

[vapid smelt]

have you tired buying a new pc

[fallow matrix]

I bought an asus gaming laptop and upgraded the ram

[polar fern]

cool

[fallow matrix]

16 gigs aint enough for google

[keen shore]

have you checked task manager

[fallow matrix]

Yes

[vapid smelt]

#1027757333117415424 is cool

[polar fern]

sounds like you got something hogging memory in the background

[keen shore]

probably discord electron shit

[polar fern]

discord does not hog memory

[fallow matrix]

All i got on is discord and gta 5

[keen shore]

it can leak

[fallow matrix]

And im using 720p max settings

(except msaa)

[keen shore]

lmao the game ran worse for me on ryzen at low res as well

[gilded quest]

Why do you have a 3050

[polar fern]

leak? um no

[keen shore]

lol why do you um no me

[fallow matrix]

Bought the laptop in the middle of a shortage

(gpu shortage)

It held up for 2 years already

So i wont be upgrading for a few more years

[keen shore]

is the cpu or memory usage in task manager red or maxed out?

[fallow matrix]

No

[icy rock]

wtf

[fallow matrix]

And it only happens on discord calls

[icy rock]

who tf is iron mouse and why did this animated monkey win content creator of the year

[fallow matrix]

And it also happens on other games (portal 2 reaching an all time low of 4 fps)

[polar fern]

dunno, only reason im even watching is one streamer i watch occasionally is hosting it

[lilac bear]

Logan Paul should've won Creator of the year 😠

[fallow matrix]

And elden ring reaching an all time low of 2 fps

[severe adder]

probably a mouse made mostly of iron

[keen shore]

gee I would try chipset drivers and graphics drivers but idk

[prime solstice]

[pearl silo]

OK so I got a wheel and hooked it to my Xbox and thought "hey, Forza has a lot of games and is on GP, I think I'll play that."

So I fire up Forza Motor sport 6 on my Series S and I'm met with unskippable intros and I don't have full control of my car. My pedal is mashed to the floor and my driver is using the brake when I go around turns.

How long til i get full control of my vehicle? I assume this is a tutorial. If this is the way through the whole game, I don't understand how anyone finds this "fun" or "enjoyable".

[prime solstice]

Oh ik it’s the same with the legion go

[manic torrent]

Forza motorsport has gatekeeping bullshit that you have to level up to, I know that. I haven't played it yet though

[pearl silo]

Does that mean I have to unlock full control? If so, I'll just delete the game.

I'll get more milage out of Daytona USA than Forza is what it sounds like

[manic torrent]

I don't know

[glossy hound]

Bro this discord update is HORRID

I want to go back

Tmobile basically gives Iphones away when you sign up, Game the system. No one will be mad

The old one becomes obsolete or breaks and you end up getting a new one or you get a new one with a phone plan.

If Verizon didn't shut off 3G, I could still use my LG Octane, the dumb phone that was the successor to the EnV line

the award show has gone WOKE

[pearl silo]

There's an award show? What are they awarding?

[prime solstice]

Windows 12 +

Having to pay monthly to use windows

[hazy parrot]

I mean, it’s still impressive how long one can keep a phone. That thing stays on you daily everywhere anywhere you go.

Could you imagine how a laptop would handle that? 2 years of college wasn’t nice to it

[full fossil]

What if a new half life game gets anounced at game awards

[prime solstice]

It won’t

[hazy parrot]

I had a 7 before I got a 13pro and felt like I def got my moneys worth out of it

[jaunty compass]

does anyone know what connector this is

[prime solstice]

It seems like what you find on those old motherboards

[hazy parrot]

As someone who’s placing connectors on PCBs right now as we speak….idk

[spice pine]

i mean, ya gotta trade one in, but… yeah

or port in a number for the current 13 promotion i think

[full fossil]

Could it be that the reason apple uses Intel processors is because they use "i" in their products like apple ?

i5 , i7 , i9
iPhone ,ipad , imac

[pearl silo]

What do people do to laptops? I've had many laptops for many years. They all still work. Only reason I stopped using the older ones is bc the need to upgrade. Also, one died bc of static but I put the drive in my tower and it booted right up. Idk if that counts as dead. Its spirit lived on for a bit.

[hot tartan]

Prob not

[spice pine]

apple doesn’t use intel processors anymore tho

[full fossil]

Wym fr ? Haven't read on anything apple in 5 years

[jaunty compass]

they make their own arm based cpus

[hazy parrot]

Don’t you think something that nowadays is an extension of yourself, a part of you, almost essential to participate in society….is justifiable upgrading at least every 5 years

[spice pine]

apple does their own silicon now

[jaunty compass]

and have for a good little while

[pearl silo]

Their commercials says trade in any iPhone. I'd love to see the look on the dude's face if I tried to hand in my 3GS

[lilac bear]

its M series ARM chips since like 2020 now

[spice pine]

i mean, you’d get Fair Market Value for it at least, so… $0

[full fossil]

Is it good ?

[lilac bear]

good at everything except gaming

[spice pine]

I’ll check the promo sheet when i’m in tomorrow but i’m pretty sure the 15 on us deals require trading in an 11 or newer

[prime solstice]

I wonder if I can mod my laptop to work with a m3 chip

[pearl silo]

Only if the upgrade is of significant benefits. If you get the newest one bc you hate money, that's a different story.

I biught a new phone this past summer bc my S8 had a tired battery, chipped away in the corner and its storage was filling up with crap that you can't get rid of without rooting the phone. It served me 2019-2023. It did its time and now serves the roll of emergency phone if my current one suffers damage or becomes unusable.

[hazy parrot]

Anyway @pearl silo the reality of the situation is, yes, apple down clocks older phones on newer versions of iOS to not absolutely obliterate a battery. Thats just the nature of software. It’s no different than windows 11 requiring TPM and minimum RAM. as software gets better older hardware gets obsolete.

[pearl silo]

It's worth at least $-10

[hazy parrot]

I think buying one generation up is insane for any phone

Diehard fan boys do that because it’s a hobby

But name a hobby that doesn’t get ludicrously expensive at the deep end of it

[lilac bear]

keyboardphiles hiding in the corner

[hazy parrot]

Any hobby is like this

[pearl silo]

Any hobby where you get stuff for free and make money. Like those guys who get crap off FB marketplace for free and resell it for profit. Or they get pallets of wood and make furniture to sell

[lilac bear]

no way you thought House Flipping is an ideal hobby

[hazy parrot]

Oh yeah dude everyone’s got a tablesaw, Power sander, a lathe

Totally a free hobby

[hazy parrot]

You need a phone to make money in todays society (to bring this convo back)

[pearl silo]

Laptop+sim card. Checkmate

The sad part is a laptop will cost you less than almost any iPhone unless you go back to like 5S

[hazy parrot]

All right sure you got me there, But just know that spending a lot of money on a phone isn’t stupid or pointless. It’s a long-term investment for yourself. something that you used a good fraction of the day every day

[lilac bear]

And gas mileage don't seems as good as I thought it was going to be

what are you getting

[indigo plume]

Depends on the weather in summer 4.5 L/100 km. In the winter like 6.5 L/100km

[vapid smelt]

making me do math

[indigo plume]

If I got plug in hybrid I would never need to pay for gas when going to work

toyota hybrids have historically been dissapointing in gas mileage

my dads avalon hybrid gets 25 mpg on the highway

my 400 hp SUV gets better mpg than that

I think their pc already has like 4tb

[bleak zealot]

15 and 15 each

[low rain]

They r 14

[graceful burrow]

I'd buy the one that's 15

[bleak zealot]

What if they were both free but you can only pick one

[graceful burrow]

If they're 15 per fan I'd go find a better priced fan

[graceful burrow]

Free = baggage, decline

[bleak zealot]

What if you find them on the sidewalk

No baggage involved. Which one you pick grey or white

[low rain]

W chrima gift?

[graceful burrow]

By baggage i meant something is wrong with the fans so same answer

[shut lichen]

did they build that, or dig up a relic?

[crystal pike]

jelly needs to add a small section that says check folder permissions

also why tf do i need to sort every album manually? why doesnt it just rely on the metadata

i spent a good two hours converting my flacs and manually creating the folders just to get it to play my stuff

i shouldve just used plex

[graceful burrow]

Plex is cool if you wanna pay to use your own hardware for transcoding

Because that's a pro feature

For some reason

[vapid smelt]

i use my brothers emby

[graceful burrow]

I just use jellyfin I like organizing

It's like a puzzle

[shut lichen]

imagine not just buying the lifetime plan and forgetting about it

[graceful burrow]

Why would i
I already own the hardware
Why pay for something ffmpeg can do lol

[peak phoenix]

I need to play with Jellyfin still

[graceful burrow]

It's got some pains but I like it

[crystal pike]

its the main i reason i decided not to use it

[peak phoenix]

I've used Plex in past because it's simple

and plex in past got enough softwar eupdates for me to be happy to pay for it

[crystal pike]

im not paying

im not paying to stream my own shit

[peak phoenix]

I mean...you're paying for the dev hours that went into plex

Not sure why people expect software to be free these days.

[graceful burrow]

I want to pay for something that isn't able to be done by already free open software
Give me a killer feature that I can't get elsewhere

[crystal pike]

i forgot about that

also setting up remote access for jellyfin is kind of easy

really easy
not sure if its the same case on plex

[peak phoenix]

Plex is dead simple stupid and just works. There;s no pain to it.

[graceful burrow]

Plex is easy to set up

[graceful burrow]

My point stands and I'm sticking to it
I'm not paying money for hw transcoding

They don't even support arc

[peak phoenix]

I do nothing to enable remote play and I just log in to my account and go

[shut lichen]

doesn't support arc? then how is the plex server I use running an arc gpu?

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/its-magic-gif-15534572

[graceful burrow]

Last I checked it didnt
They probably updated it between when I had arc and now

~10 months ago

Good
Took em long enough
Still not worth buying it kek

Buying plex*

Not arc
Arc is worth it

[shut lichen]

I don't see how it's so bad to spend a little bit of money to support the development of something you use to watch all your probably free isos on 😉

lifetime plex pass is pretty cheap, and can be gotten even cheaper via the occasional discount

[graceful burrow]

Jellyfin works good and doesn't charge me to use my own hardware :)

[peak phoenix]

as a bonus, Plex is just available on Synology hardware, no special stuff needed.

My Synology NAS can handle a couple 4k transcodes (to lower res)

[graceful burrow]

It's an app on truenas
Easy to install, I've used it, good app
Still not paying to use my own hardware lol

Also I just
Refuse to pay for a synology Nas regardless lmao

[peak phoenix]

I've been tempted to try truenas, but would need to build a system

[graceful burrow]

Absurd cost when I can just build my own

[tardy terrace]

truenas is great

[peak phoenix]

though I'm at a juncture where I could. I have a 7900x CPU, lancool 2 case...SSDs...

Just need PSU, RAM, mobo

[peak phoenix]

I mean, it's years old and always just works

Small too, for a box that takes 4 drives

[graceful burrow]

Sure
Good
It's like 350 dollars and doesn't do what I need and comes with no storage

[tardy terrace]

also firmware-special drives.

[peak phoenix]

Synology? It takes normal drives

I'll spend more money on hardware for a custom NAS and then more money on power.

I get that it'd be more capable ofc

[graceful burrow]

A synology can't match my 3900x

I need vm's

[tardy terrace]

^

[peak phoenix]

looks at the VMs on my synology NAS

[graceful burrow]

Can it run a modded Minecraft vm for 7 people

[peak phoenix]

Synology NAS systems are a appliance. I really don't get the hate people have for them here.

[graceful burrow]

Technically maybe sure but is it gonna be good

[tardy terrace]

Yeah, performant vms

[peak phoenix]

looks at the Windows 10 VM on my synology NAS

[graceful burrow]

I hate them because I can build out a Nas for cheap and then also not be locked into an ecosystem and then also again be able to use the pc for something else later

[peak phoenix]

Am I going to game on it? No....but it'll run stuff via RDP when I need it

[graceful burrow]

It simply doesn't fit my needs

[peak phoenix]

Fair enough...

But hate? Again. Don't get it.

[graceful burrow]

I hate it for me
And I'll always recommend building your own
But I don't stop people from buying what they want

[tardy terrace]

Oh, I got this one-

Proprietary hardware, and power brick

[graceful burrow]

It's their money not mine

Buy what you feel fits your needs the most

Synology doesn't fit my needs

[manic torrent]

There is no need to lock yourself into vendor bullshit when you don't have to, that's why. If you're a noob who needs off the shelf shit? Sure, great. That's not generally what we do here.

[peak phoenix]

I mean, I still don't get the hate.

That power brick uses a lot less power than a discrete system.

[graceful burrow]

Notice I never said they were bad

[peak phoenix]

"noob"..

OK then. Guess I'm a noob. TIme to delete linux and all

[manic torrent]

.... You know you can use different power supplies for different systems.

[tardy terrace]

"that power brick" most likely has the same efficiency as a gold-rated atx unit.

[peak phoenix]

Better tell my boss I need to quit software development. Too noobish.

[peak phoenix]

i'm saying that the synology NAS system are themselves going to be a bit more power efficient than a system built custom.

[manic torrent]

Yeah nah.

[tardy terrace]

power efficient because lower-end cpu

I love late-night bants

[peak phoenix]

Yes, absolutely. It also transcodes 4k streams though. And does home automation stuff.

If you need a VM host that is also a NAS...sure. That likely justifies a more powerful server than a purpose build nas system though.

[manic torrent]

I mean, I literally have a server with a power brick and a low end power efficient CPU.

[peak phoenix]

If you need a NAS that casually does a few other things...yeah, a lot less space used. A lot less power used.

[tardy terrace]

then why isn't the synology nas made more powerful for heavier vm usage

[manic torrent]

I also support them professionally. We run freebsd and use ZFS

[tardy terrace]

my 4790k can also transcode streams, I can use the dinky integrated igpu and get away with 1080p

idk man, I just don't like synology, and I don't understand why everyone drools over them

Do I hate the company? No. Their products? Yeah.

[peak phoenix]

For one, again....purpose built for storage. But they do have models with various levels of CPU horsepower.

[tardy terrace]

..Most of their products

[peak phoenix]

lol, sure if you're throwing a 4790 at it, I can buy a old skylake based Xeon too. Don't want to have a space heater though unless I need that level of power

[tardy terrace]

I overclocked my server because room = cold

[peak phoenix]

which is 100% the point I'm trying to make. If you need a lightweight system that does storage with some light docker containers...synology is fine.

[tardy terrace]

FIIIINE I suppose you're right

[manic torrent]

Yes, if you have one and it works, whatever. I just would never buy one.

[peak phoenix]

Lord knows I've looked on Ebay at old server boxes anfd thought about going that route.

[tardy terrace]

I'd buy the little 2.5" nas they have if it was like, half-off

[graceful burrow]

Same
They're too spendy and loud for me, and I don't have a rack :(

[tardy terrace]

It'd give me a use for these ssds

[manic torrent]

Buying a low CPU power nas with a power brick is absolutely a great idea.

[graceful burrow]

So Nas in the DIY-PC 28 dollar case we go

[peak phoenix]

I mean if AM5 was cheaper and DDR5 was cheaper I'd build a system in my old lancool 2 with a 7900x....but I think I', better selling the case and the CPU

[full fossil]

Hello bob

[manic torrent]

Racks are great if you want stuff to be tidy and have money to burn - or if you have a lot.of space, because you can get them second hand cheap as fuck

[graceful burrow]

Yes

Fear the majesty of my tiny little cabinet!

[peak phoenix]

Racks though....not really. Those are destroyed rather than risk customer data leaving a datacenter

[peak phoenix]

Oh....a company I'm happy to hate on. Ubiquiti 😉

[tardy terrace]

Never understood the need for destruction of the system, rather than just the drives...

[vapid smelt]

you mean meta 😼

[manic torrent]

Guess what I paid for that 10gb switch though

[peak phoenix]

Anything that might have data on it, like a DMA controller with something still in cache or something

[tardy terrace]

but the DMA controller would just get wiped with the next use.. So would all of the caches..

Router OS is just annoying to me. I can handle PFSense OPNSense just fine. Router OS was always a chore.

Well speaking as an employee of one of those....I'm happy.

I think Amazon is probably better than Tesla

That's a description I cold live with. Fine, but not my favorite.

My team turnover is stupid low. Compensation is....good for the level of stress honestly.

Far prefer my team to any/all teams I was on at MSFT

My current project will ideally bring in several million dollars over the next several years. Kek. Different scales, but I'm doing it mostly by myself, and if it really goes well, there's heaps of opportunity for me to do more and go further.

[peak phoenix]

Biggest POS I can think of in MS history was Myerson.

[peak phoenix]

Yeah I touch stuff on a global scale. But it comes with stupid levels of stress sometimes.

Microsoft is a perfect example of monopoly.

Like they have had a mountain of awful products but they have a bare minimum level of accessibility that makes it somewhat worth it and occasional masterpieces (windows xp and windows 7)
