hey anyone know any blogs/youtubers who have a multi region homelab ?

[terse folio]

Vtuber seems a trend these days

[surreal mica]

its good for privacy, if i ever did a vlog/gaming channel i would 100% go vtuber route

[terse folio]

It’s also can keep cost down

[surreal mica]

allso my face is just strange looking 😂

[terse folio]

You no longer need to hire a high paid presenter

Just ask new fresh graduates

And now we have weather news being broadcast by anime avatar

[surreal mica]

depeneds how you are doing the voice, but with the AI stuff now that would be pretty easy.

[rough temple]

my wifi repeater isn't doing so well

[cosmic robin]

Hey anyone i need serious help

My pc shows no signal as i turn on games every hardware is fine tried every possible thing software wise reinstalled updsted everything

[surreal mica]

wdym, like when you start up a game ?

[cosmic robin]

Yea

It runs fine if im not running games

As soon as a game starts any game pc fans ramp up and there is no display

[surreal mica]

does the same thing happen when you try a synthetic load like benchmarking software or something?

allso is it one specific game or have you tried others

and is it a fullscreen game when it loads ?

[cosmic robin]

Yup

[surreal mica]

thats 3 questions my dude

[cosmic robin]

Tried evry other game it hsppens when i launch benchmarking too no matter fullscreen or windowed it still hsppens

[surreal mica]

ok have you got some sort of log of what your hardware is doing

and is it the fans on the GPU that ramp or CPU?

[cosmic robin]

Both like every fan seems to ramp up

[surreal mica]

allso have you got a spare GPU you can try swaping

[cosmic robin]

Spawing?

[surreal mica]

im 1/2 asleep "swaping"

[cosmic robin]

I did try my pc in a test bench my evry hardware works fine i did swap gpu it worked and my gpu worked fine in an othertest bench

I tried my hardware in a test bench one by one each one works stress tested it works

[surreal mica]

allso maybe make a post in #1027757333117415424 and we cam move there

[cosmic robin]

I did make one

wrong chat

[formal zealot]

Hey guys, having some weird problem with downloads on multiple systems from dropbox, basically I'm downloading multiple mp4s from dropbox and they all start downloading fine but at random intervals they just stop downloading, but they don't say "network error" or anything they just stop like they finished, but trying to view the file on my system doesnt work, its just stuck loading. What could be the cause for this?

Sorry for the wrong chat, I've posted it in #1027757333117415424 if anyone can help ❤️

[glossy kestrel]

Currently experiencing a power outage. Neighbor tried to tell me to hook my generator up to my router and my internet will come back. It's that true?

I have fiber from Verizon

[fiery crow]

Aslong you can power it yes

Use diesel generators

[rough temple]

imagine that, getitng a return for the 4th icmp sequence first

[simple elm]

I tried this once only I bought usb to barrel jack cables and plugged fiber optics internet Router in a power bank and it worked so most likely yes. Now I imagine somewhere that fiber is plugged in some "router" and that router needs power, but they are more likely to have backup.

[pliant karma]

lol same. Enough to the point I invested in a battery UPS purely to keep my network and router alive for 7-8 hours.

That and my whole office is powered off those suckers now.

[void atlas]

Hey all

[simple elm]

I dont use Dropbox, but try clearing cache, updating to latest browser, switch browser, restart PC, restart router.

[simple elm]

I was amazed by the fact that the router is rated for 12 V and it worked with USB power bank that is 5V, but I guess like many electronics they are not set on a single voltage value, more like need Amps to work.

[full fossil]

Yo thank you for telling me that shit it just saved my i7 14700k bro i realised that the cpu cooler was not even touching the cpu 😭

[oblique adder]

Hello everyone, does anyone know where the announcement for the LMG warehouse auction took place?

I need yall help deciding on a case to get.

After hearing about B-Drand from Linus for 82 years now. I finally decided to check them out. Which case should I buy?

• X-Ray (Dark
• Ultramatte teardown

Open to suggestions too for other D Brand styles

[graceful burrow]

I exclusively use Spigen cases
They aren't lookers
But 4 phones and tons of drops from my tall ass and no cracked glass
Either all my luck in life goes into it or the spigen cases work

[simple elm]

I can confirm used spigen for 6 years on old iphone and it never happened anything to it and I dropped it a lot.

[pliant karma]

👀 spigen hehe got one on my phone too.

[graceful burrow]

Decided to get a phone with back glass this time and it's also been fine after a few years

I'm a spigen diehard

[pliant karma]

lol I dropped my phone countless of times off this height while in the tv studio on my college campus.

Shit has lived every single drop

[simple elm]

wow, now that's crazy

[spiral folio]

huh whats up with "slim shady linus"?

first it was doom guy, now its slim shady????

[graceful burrow]

When was he ever doom guy

[spiral folio]

really a long time ago

[graceful burrow]

Can you prove that though

[spiral folio]

its a meme that was shown on the channel :)

[graceful burrow]

Well you know the rules
Pics or didn't happen

[spiral folio]

oh come on

[graceful burrow]

I don't make the rules

[spiral folio]

oh sorry, i meant duke nukem guy

[thin moth]

miaw

[graceful burrow]

Knew it lol

[spiral folio]

why you didnt remind me of that then?

[graceful burrow]

There's a chance I was wrong

[spiral folio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

anyways how come linus is being memed as presenting as slim shady now

the hair dye isnt even too blonde/white

[graceful burrow]

I said it turned white from old age and stress but he's jaundiced so yellow

[pallid remnant]

Is score 4305 okay for a low end laptop on cinebenxh

[graceful burrow]

Should probably just compare the cpu or gpu (depending on which one you ran) with other runs for the same parts on the same version of cinebench

There are leaderboards online

[pallid remnant]

Ah nice ty g

[spiral folio]

what is the source of the benchmark results/leaderboards shipped with cinebench itself?

[prime solstice]

That was Duke nukem

[graceful burrow]

He knows

[rare prairie]

did the new tech hoarders video take down urbanauctions.ca?

or is it just slow...

[graceful burrow]

It probably isn't having a good effect on overall site performance and stability lol

did you all hear Susan Wojcicki passed away? it's sad that out there there are people clapping up the fact that she's gone, she didn't deserve the hate she got, she was a popular scapegoat, even though google is mainly to blame for the decline of the platform. she didn't deserve to have her legacy tarnished by a few trolls.

[raw solstice]

just saw linus's newest video, at first i thought he was joking, but no, its all real, man i wouldnt do that, i cant watch this video, sure he's a hoarder but i just cant watch this video without having any discomfort

[simple elm]

sorry to hear that, RIP

[spiral folio]

wait where in the video is that?

[crystal flare]

the previous ceo of youtube.

[ionic abyss]

ok so your near perfect crt emulation has near .01ms response times right

if not its not good enough

flawless resolution scaling with no notable pixalation is a nother requirement

lcds are good but for some things you cant replace a crt

[ionic abyss]

so i dont need 4 various limited edtion ps3s?

if they made the game for snes i own it

At the end of the day she was the CEO during a very bad era of YouTube. She probably had at least some sway

Video idea that might work: Having Linus collab with someone(?) to make a briefcase PC modeled around the TF2 intelligence

[simple elm]

if its DIY Perks, imagine that

[neon mesa]

i wanna feel bad but i remember that she was a big part of why the dislikes are gone

[ancient frigate]

I'm at a sci-fi con and I think there's a femboy with pink hair wearing a black dress sitting across from me.

[deft fulcrum]

you at worldcon?

[harsh quartz]

Don’t forget the adpocalypse and first 10 seconds thin

Like, I’m not glad she’s dead. But I also do not miss her.

[neon mesa]

i've been paying premium for quite a long time now so i don't feel the ads

[harsh quartz]

That’s not what the adpocalypse was

[neon mesa]

i don't really follow it.

i only notice the dislikes because it's the thing that i notice daily

[harsh quartz]

Basically YouTubers started getting demonetized left and right and there was no explanation. Eventually YouTube published the new rules for monetization and they were extremely strict, you couldn’t be too kid friendly but you also couldn’t be adult. There was a weird middle ground that most people didn’t fall in

And then also YouTube started cranking the ad count while demonetizing YouTubers, so they were just taking all the profit. Very scummy

[ancient frigate]

Small local con.

[ionic abyss]

so youtube is paying less adding more ads and pushing premium

hmmm

it seems youtube is the only one that benefits now

[crisp notch]

or something idk

[ancient frigate]

There's also a super fat chick with a visible "whale tail" thong here.

[harsh quartz]

How bout you keep that one to yourself

[crisp notch]

thats a really good suggestion

[hidden hill]

Around these parts we call them curvy

[ancient frigate]

The possible Femboy got up and walked away but forgot his/her/its mod box. Should I go chase him/her/it to give it back?

[hidden hill]

Doing a "get banned from LTT discord" speedrun I see

[ancient frigate]

What's wrong with anything I said? I just asked about giving a vaper their box back.

[hidden hill]

Why even ask? Why not just go give it back? Why not use they/them instead of all 3?

[ancient frigate]

Because the person could be genetically female.

[crisp notch]

yum, mindless arguments

[ancient frigate]

I'm honestly not 100% sure.

I thought about getting into vaping, but I never did.

[craggy rose]

[rustic holly]

Idk I don't use mac os. Just heard on the WAN show...

[ancient frigate]

Now at the con after-party they're having a karaoke and everyone is singing the Backstreet Boys.

Great. Now someone is singing that damn awful song from Titanic.

[deep solstice]

Finder does kinda suck

No way AFAIK to show hidden files and folders

Just looked up: CMD + Shift + Period
No menu option to make that switch user-friendly. They tuck it away in a googleable obscure keybind

This rule also includes asking to become a moderator/asking for special Discord roles. You are allowed to ask for clarification about a role in-general, but not ask for it.

[graceful burrow]

nothin personal, genuinely
there are just safe browsing practices i follow

[restive lion]

that one is kind of a poor example. hidden files arent meant to be easily discoverable by regular users. And like you said its easily googlable. could they put it somewhere in the settings? yeah probably. but finder has a lot of other issues lol

sometimes i want to go back to hiding them...

[pliant karma]

lol I have my fun share of finder L moments.

[ancient frigate]

Now someone's singing "A Whole New World".

[restive lion]

yeah theres a lot of them

overall i think its good enough for what it does

but apple refusing to fix certain things is really annoying

[modern pier]

i hate modern phones

the galaxy a55 ticks every box but it's too big

that's the ONLY problem

they should have just kept it the same size as the a54 at 6.4 (which was already pushing my boundaries)

6.2-6.3 is good

[lilac remnant]

fuck yea

[modern pier]

don't take that out of context PLEASE

[lilac remnant]

i like the snapon screwdriver i’m sorry :(

i’m a mechanic tho btw lmao

[modern pier]

Roblox started using browser fingerprinting and tracking to detect ban evasion

This happens if you evade a 1 hour ban

or longer

Which is a problem because the moderation bots do stupid stuff like this

[bold carbon]

I feel like their bots are just flagging the word "kids" in any context and banning people for it

[gilded quest]

Sadly most people want a big cheap screen

[modern pier]

It's sad honestly

As phones have gotten bigger I've stretched my definition of compact but I have to draw the line somewhere

[gilded quest]

But I also am using a 6.7" display right now so I've given in

And now I want a foldable

Roblox is objectively horrible

The problem is you can't explain that to your 9 year old

only thing i see is linus saying ff7 is over rated and droping lots of retro gaming stuff lately

that or the us presidental race

grrr gog was acting up

[full fossil]

Linus should write a book that teaches you how to build a PC and show to get started in the world of PC hardware

And a magazine thing too

[graceful burrow]

They have a really long video on it that covers the gist of it

Everything else can be learned from a manual

Ain't nobody nowadays reading a book on how to build a pc, the majority of people who come in here to help basically outright refuse to look in a manual

I wish I was being hyperbolic, genuinely

It's exasperating

[full fossil]

I like books

I brought one on WW2 yesterday and I love it

[graceful burrow]

[graceful burrow]

Valid

[strange elk]

Love the point Linus made about Zen 5, how just the generational performance increases dont really matter as much anymore for CPUs. Genuinely I was excited for those chips just for the lower TDP while maintaining a similar speed.

[graceful burrow]

Im alright with an efficiency generation

[fierce moth]

i was thinking of upgrading to zen 5 on desktop, but the 5600 is still a solid chip

[strange elk]

Absolutely all for it. Low power chips have been kind of waning lately. I mean theres Qualcomm but.. Eh..

[fierce moth]

and considering there was a zen 3 refresh

[graceful burrow]

Most modern cpus are fast enough to where the gains aren't even felt by the average consumer
I play games at 1080p with a 3090 and a 5600 and I'm fine

I don't even want to upgrade

I'm so Gucci it's unreal

[strange elk]

Seriously. I think this 5800X will still be viable for me for at least another couple years

[graceful burrow]

It will

And the x3d beyond thst

[fierce moth]

i wouldnt mind some extra cores for vms tho

[graceful burrow]

There are people running 7th gen intel systems happy as can be

They're still good chips they're just not worth getting over what we current have on offer

[simple elm]

i was happy with i3-9100f

[graceful burrow]

Obviously a 7700k with a 3090 would be
A much different story

[simple elm]

but now its hard with only 4 cores

[strange elk]

Wondering just how capable this 1060 laptop is

[graceful burrow]

Throw Linux on it

[strange elk]

MSI GS63VR

[graceful burrow]

Holoiso

[strange elk]

I'm running Vanilla on it rn

[graceful burrow]

Is that a distro or do you just mean windows kek

[strange elk]

Just dont really know what to do with it lol

VanillaOS, 2.0 released recently and its pretty slick ootb

[graceful burrow]

Fair

[strange elk]

MSIKLM isn't working though :/

So the keyboard is just red

[graceful burrow]

I spent a bit looking for a lightweight Linux os for my woefully underpowered athlon silver laptop

I'll be completely honest I can't even remember what I installed on it

Something lite that's for sure

Zorin lite

[strange elk]

Lubuntu was my go to for my Celeron n3050

[fierce moth]

i wouldnt mind a 5900xt

[graceful burrow]

Zorin lite does not give me the performance I was hoping for

[strange elk]

At least once my drive died and I ripped the cable lmao

Played borderlands 2 on it though so I mean

[dusty dew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fgXdBL good build for price?

[strange elk]

Flash drive died, then I ran off a fucking ssd over usb lmao

[graceful burrow]

I'm gonna check out lubuntu tomorrow

Zorin is nice and I feel like it would be goated for 4 core cpus but I sure am running a fuckin non-smt dual core

[graceful burrow]

I don't have any issues with the parts choice, can't speak for the price

[strange elk]

Yeah try that, might do better. I ran Linux Mint on it later on, but I barely used it. Mostly just for jail breaking when I still used an iOS device and still ran windows on my main pc

[dusty dew]

ok cool I’m building it tomorrow

[graceful burrow]

Usually you ask that question before you buy the parts

[dusty dew]

yes I did

[graceful burrow]

Also refrain from crossposting, you'll only get harassed

[dusty dew]

oh mb

[graceful burrow]

I debated on mint but deemed it too heavy

I thought about manjaro but came to the same conclusion

[strange elk]

Yeah fair

XFCE though

Not bad

[graceful burrow]

I also considered chromeos and I'd honestly be perfectly happy if it worked out but they don't release an iso for it?

I feel like chromeos would be perfect but alas

[strange elk]

ChromiumOS?

[graceful burrow]

Is there an offshoot?

[dusty dew]

would you guys recommend buying an OEM key for windows 11 pro or retail

[graceful burrow]

Oh my god you're right

[dusty dew]

Are there differences

[strange elk]

Might not be any isos but yeah

I'm trying to find one

Not even 100% this works on normal PCs, might just be Chromebook hardware

[mental patio]

@misty comet Unban you ffs

[strange elk]

There's a repo from "arnoldthebat" that has premade ones, as referenced by https://alphr.com/download-install-chrome-os

[graceful burrow]

Hard pass on a 2022 build

[strange elk]

Just read that yeah fair

[graceful burrow]

Not feasible if I need to build it myself, lubuntu it is lol

[strange elk]

I haven't used it since 2019 though so can't vouch for it these days, no idea what canonicals done since

Last time I used an Ubuntu distro lol. It was good though dont get me wrong, I liked LXDE more than I do LXQT though

[graceful burrow]

I hate gnome

I really do despise it

[strange elk]

Loving Cinnamon rn

Just enough customization I think. KDE is kinda messy

[graceful burrow]

I don't mind kde

[strange elk]

I liked it more a few years ago

[graceful burrow]

I really honestly just need a new laptop that isn't dogshit let's be real

Something even a moderately heavy Linux os like mint can run smoothly on
Is that too much to ask

[strange elk]

Vanilla OS I'd check out as well as XFCE Mint if you want to hop a little

[graceful burrow]

I might

[strange elk]

Not sure of the system requirements but XFCE is lighter for sure than standard Cinnamon

[graceful burrow]

Oh boy I can't wait to forget this tomorrow lmao

[covert cradle]

They do have ChromeOS flex. Iirc the installer is just super inflexible and will always only overwrite everything

[graceful burrow]

I can't even find that installer

Id love to try it

[strange elk]

VanillaOS didnt really ask me about drives either

Just kinda did its thing. Chose a few apps, locales whatever

[graceful burrow]

It only has one 128gb drive I don't really care about any of that I'll be honest

[covert cradle]

I'm bad with sarcasm, so here's the link lmao
https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11541904

Oh whoops, it's on the next page my bad

[graceful burrow]

Holy shit Google please

Why does your documentation fucking suck so bad your company is so big you're actively being ruled a monopoly what the fuck

No excuse
None

[graceful burrow]

Saving this
Greatly appreciated
@strange elk you too for lubuntu, I'll be trying them both

[manic torrent]

I installed ChromeOS flex on my mother in law's old MacBook Pro.... Didn't support the webcam.

In the audio subreddit you can find a mega thread

i liked my old mpow eg3 pros but you cant buy those now

i know not all chinese headsets are bad

its kinda luck of the draw what you get with the chinese stuff

[viscid elm]

Again rtings or reddit megathred

[ionic abyss]

atleast no one recomended pulling the 500k$ set of ultrasones off the shelf to use

those were a gift and well i could not replace those if i wanted to

the value is from the custom tube amp and headphones not just the headphones

and the fact that under 100 sets were ever made

[viscid elm]

Your looking for 50$ headphones

[ionic abyss]

https://www.amazon.com/JVC-HARX700-Precision-Sound-Headphones/dp/B0013OWPV4 those were good

but they offer no mic

also the pivot always breaks after about 1.5 years

great headphones otherwise

[viscid elm]

A yes, great product but just breaks after a while

I dono, but what do you need it for?

[ionic abyss]

damn dog woke me up at 4am couldnt go back to sleep

[rose hound]

The last Video about old consoles. I have a question about it. I have a Nintendo wii in the living room, but non PC there. Can I emulate, stream and still using the controller?

The PC is two walls away.

[carmine merlin]

my phone's battery runs out pretty fast so I have to have a fast charger so I can get it back up faster. Howver, a faster charger increases the temperature of the battery, meaning it'll degrade faster, meaning I'll have to buy a faster charger which increases the temperature which increases the rate of degradation which means I'll need a faster charger which will increase the temperature which means...

[viscid elm]

Slow charge when you sleep

[mortal kraken]

Yeah, iirc some phones even have that feature to slow charge during the night

But i personally no longer use fast charger with my old phone, just a standard 5v 2a

[proven cave]

hii

[viscid elm]

Na

[proven cave]

Huh

[carmine merlin]

that's what I do rn. Unless I have an emergency

[neon mesa]

reconfigured my room a little.
now all my monitors can be landscape
for now it's still disasterous but i ordered a new desk and i'm waiting for it. It will hopefully be clean looking then.

[manic torrent]

My pixel 7 pro does that automatically if it's plugged in at night

[grim belfry]

I think most phones have for a while

iPhone got it a couple years ago, so I’m assuming most androids had it well before that

[gilded quest]

Mine trickle charges then holds at 80%

It's weird. I assumed it was based on alarm times at first, which is when it decides to finish charging to 100%. But even without an alarm set it does still stop at 80% when charging at night

[shut lichen]

Assuming your use is consistent, it likely just knows when you will wake up

[last reef]

i got the new rog ally 2 days ago and i haven't even opened the box yet because i started rearranging my room to accomodate the new monitor for it and then that got me started xD

[fossil frost]

android? most androids now will do it based on your alarm, but, will also do it on usage paterns too

how is it possible that there's very few ppl here who can troubleshoot network adapters..

like the tech support tab, everything related to network, there's no replies

[viscid elm]

Because you bought a cheap temu router

[regal cobalt]

temu router yeb

You’ve been having a conversation about it

not just mine i was checking other chats as well to search for something related

[cobalt edge]

[regal cobalt]

my laptop network adapter, has some issues
i used to runa hotspot on it

now it doesn;t work

[viscid elm]

Ye that's kinda normal when I suspect it ain't even a hot spot kompatibel chip

Also remember we get nothing for doing this, nobody in this server has any reason to help you

[regal cobalt]

i mean bro it used to run since the day i bought it, it randomly stopped a month ago

[viscid elm]

Just be happy for the help

[last reef]

tbf its 7am on the west coast of north america

[fresh sorrel]

Can you make a hotspot on your phones mobile data and just test that on your laptop

[regal cobalt]

oh realised rn💀 im in india..

[last reef]

yea we're all still asleep hahaha

[regal cobalt]

huh??
no in the sense, I run the hotspot on my pc, off wifi

[viscid elm]

Might just be a windows issue

[regal cobalt]

it doesn't have a separate mobile data card

[viscid elm]

It likes to do that some times

[last reef]

does it show up on your device manager?

[viscid elm]

He is running iot devices from his 2.4ghz hot spot from the laptop

[last reef]

oof 2.4

[fresh sorrel]

Yeah I misunderstood that at first I get what you’re saying

[fresh sorrel]

2.4 is good for IOT

[last reef]

yea it's great for the background stuff

kinda reminds me of the quote what was it like "125mb of ram is all you'll ever need" yea like 2.4 -is- the internet but gl enjoying it if you try to use it vs modern 5g etc

[regal cobalt]

i set it to 2.4 for older devices
cuz i have a router of temu that only has 5ghz support ( like hows that even possible)
so my pc acts as a link

[viscid elm]

Maby get a router that ain't garbage

[last reef]

technology creating problems and then solving them xD

[regal cobalt]

im moving out in a month, so a new router for just one month is a bit unrealistic

[viscid elm]

Why not take it with you?

[zenith junco]

17 billion indian rupees

i tbh think its a fair price

[north wraith]

thoughts on getting a 2nd hand vr headset... would get fresh pads or what not

[mental mortar]

What VR headset?

[north wraith]

Was thinking quest 2

since the 3 is out now and all

[mental mortar]

I got a refurbished one from Walmart the other year and it was in brand new condition and discounted a lot

[zenith junco]

I got a new 180hz monitor from asus tuf for 200 dollars was this a good price?

[north wraith]

Yeah something like that

will be my first personal headset I used one before so I know I don't get too motion sick

but really starting to think I need to get in on this especially since I am trying to be a game dev... at least thats my excuse lol

Also the being more active/ not always sitting sounds intresting

[calm swan]

g2724d is $180, would've got that instead

[undone mountain]

What's rupees

[north wraith]

money

[mental mortar]

I never get motion sick from even planes, boats, and in VR but for some one time when I was trying to use Pavlov shacks terrible spectator flying mode it made me horribly motion sick

[north wraith]

Yeah I am fairly good with it too (used to work on ships)

[mental mortar]

Nice

[north wraith]

So quest 2 is also not so outdated as to make buying a 2nd hand one pointless?

[dull granite]

gtx 10 series: good
rtx 20: bad
rtx 30: good
rtx 40: bad

?

[north wraith]

lol sounds like windows build

heres hoping win 12 is a good one

[dull granite]

people didnt like windows 10 at first

[last reef]

take me back to millenium edition that's when the timeline errored off course

[zenith junco]

i actually got it for 150

[strange elk]

I still dont really like it.

[strange elk]

Depends on price mostly if all you are doing is PC stuff

I want to upgrade mine, but I'm looking at Varjo, Valve and Bigscreen for that. Not quest 3, though it would be a good contender

[tulip river]

I wish there were more open source OS VR headsets tbh

[strange elk]

Yeah..

[tulip river]

I think that's a massive market gap, who wants to seal it with me? 😂

Blank headset with downloadable OS depending on what you want it for, modifiable to suit your needs through open source code and community development

[strange elk]

Or at least more open hardware and software. Root access, unrestricted app installs and repackaging, that kinda thing

[tulip river]

Yeah it wouldve made my studio a whole lot more productive

[strange elk]

As a fork of Lineage lol

[tulip river]

[sour yacht]

u guys think i have enough cables?

[errant tusk]

More wires go faster

[zenith yacht]

you need to fill in more of the plug strip

[errant tusk]

[sour yacht]

my second ups wasnt plugged in yet. its in the brown table now but imma have one tripple plug outside with cables dangling around intentionally.

i gotta be able to plug it to my generator when i need... quickly, wwithout messing around with cables

dont have a whole house generator. just a small 3kva unit for directly connecting my pc

[sour yacht]

current status ^^

and this is the setup

not the ideal speaker placement 😦

[zenith yacht]

old windows background? random ladder? W setup

[sour yacht]

its my mic quadpod

[tired glade]

Wait,11 has itown background?

[sour yacht]

and yeah its the first windows 10 wp. i like it better cuz it was darker.

[sour yacht]

even the new win10 wp is different

[tired glade]

Oh

[zenith yacht]

stool for guests?

[sour yacht]

using this version

[sour yacht]

what guests? i just have one under desk for my legs ^^

[zenith yacht]

I love rhat wood floor i wish I had one

what I have rn is a bedbug infested beige carpet

[sour yacht]

i just hate carpets

have 3 but in my storage room, rolled up against the wall 😄

sold/gave away/threw out the rest

[zenith yacht]

In my country it costs £1000 to replace my flooring with wood

[sour yacht]

its laminate flooring

[zenith yacht]

oh thats cool

[sour yacht]

prolly significantly cheaper than real wood

u might wanna consider it. tho not as durable

[zenith yacht]

in my area it costs £20 per square metre

[zenith yacht]

nice taskbar setting

[pliant karma]

same haha had it and when my grandma decided to rennovate the house she ripped it all out and replaced it with wood in the old section of the house.

But in the new section it's all tiles

[sour yacht]

https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher using this on win11

[pliant karma]

which is not bad keeping the house cooler in summer

[sour yacht]

small taskbar, never combine

[zenith yacht]

i used to use retrobar and openshell (my laptop broke) i might try this

[sour yacht]

this is the best one. at least imo...

not replicating the win10 taskbar. its re-activating it 😄 its still in the windows 11, not removed

[zenith yacht]

Oh right, windows 11 is windows 10 on the bottom lol

Using some file digging you can apparently enable Aero Basic because its in the system files (only in safe mode i heard)

[wispy marsh]

I'm happy that Valinet updates those. Another favourite tool RoundedTB is dead because there's no incentive to keep that going, and it's visually buggy

[sour yacht]

ep was perfect for me for the most part

had few small bugs here and there but overall really solid

[wispy marsh]

For a program that has one job which is to make it visually appealing, visual bugs make it off-putting

EP's bugs come in when Microsoft just touches the explorer code for the heck of it

[sour yacht]

yep

imma switch to ltsc and wont have any of that issues 😄

[zealous barn]

btw great vid you shared, i am thankful, any other ytbers you can recommend?

[wispy marsh]

I've uninstalled it though because Microsoft touched explorer way more often than i'd like

[sour yacht]

disabled auto updates cuz of that...

and other update related issues

[wispy marsh]

What do I get after uninstalling it? The recommendations come back, but it's fine

I wouldn't disable updates

[sour yacht]

like it removed peoples data in the past 😄 permanently

[wispy marsh]

Who knows when another 0day would show up

Ah, I used to back up my data but I need to get my server fixed up

T_T the power supply needs replacing

[sour yacht]

windows updates can cause more damage than most 0-days tho https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/02/19/new-windows-10-update-starts-causing-serious-problems/

[dull granite]

im not updating windows

hell im disconnecting it from internet before booting so it won't auto update

[sour yacht]

crowdstrike auto update was another great example 😄

its not always safe to enable auto updates

[wispy marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have backup plans already

[alpine gale]

"Crowdstrike - Think about it: No boot, no hackers. It's a bluescreen of peace!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrrryadgchI

[wispy marsh]

My applications and data are outside of C:\ whenever possible, and when it's not possible, I back up my userprofile data and literally copy back the entire folder from a backup to fresh windows instance which in most cases are enough for my workflow. I have windows setup scripts that help me configure windows and also scheduled cleanup tasks (removing edge & gamebar once a month etc) but that part mostly needs work.

Honestly, i've been doing it this way sinc

[sour yacht]

that update removed data for people who changed default directory locations 😄 would delete ur stuff even if it was in other drives

[wispy marsh]

If Windows 8.1 didn't have telemetry and Microsoft hasn't stopped updating it, it would be the perfect OS

[wispy marsh]

Now that's something new

I only change default directory locations during installation of third-party apps. Windows will NOT touch data there because Microsoft will nilly-willy get their hands all over default paths

[alpine gale]

Same here, sort of. Anything that's large or otherwise isn't a common application that's easily re-downloadable from the internet, like Firefox, is stored on my boot NVMe because I can't be arsed to deal with partitions, and I stopped doing the whole "store user profile data on another partition" thing years ago, but only because my boot + user data drive is imaged to my NAS weekly.

[wispy marsh]

I realised this because all of your non-appdata userprofile stuff is backed up on onedrive

[sour yacht]

i mean folders like downloads videos pictures documents etc.

[wispy marsh]

I have two outdated copies of userprofile, I should fix that soon

Oh, speaking of app installation

Yes, my appdata contains most of what I need, and apps installed through winget will usually respect that

My initial and recurring setup scripts has winget install and update my stuff so the "apps on another partition" is settled, unless winget goes down

[slender herald]

Yall know if win11 without a key (free) is having updates? And security updates

[wispy marsh]

I think they are, I haven't used an unactivated non-server windows in years

Windows Server has 180 days of activation-free worries but it always gets patches and updates well after that

[slender herald]

Ok thx

[graceful burrow]

I literally answered this hours ago homie

Pointing the back of my pc at me was great though its worth the messiness for the port access

[reef sedge]

what speakers you got?

[sour yacht]

nobody asked about my speakers and they're bigger 😦

[sour yacht]

is that a ups? nice.

[long briar]

I'm not a fan of the speakers on the side, actually

[sour yacht]

i cant place em on top of my desk 😦

[long briar]

the issue is it makes it very difficult to angle the tweeters to your ears

and you lose a LOT of treble response and detail when you do that

[long briar]

or at last, can you pull them a bit forward and aim them up?

at that length, 45 degrees is optimal but any is better than none

[sour yacht]

before switching to this placement i had the smaller speakers behind the monitors 😄

this placement improved the sound from how it was

i have tweeters on both bigger and smaller speakers so some treble definitely makes it to my ear 😄

[long briar]

ya so behind monitors is the absolute worst

but you should definitely angle them as much as you can

[sour yacht]

these big speakers have glass tweeters and they sound rly good. dunno why its not more common 😄

produces better treble than most i've tried

[old fractal]

dont mind me, im just doing on boarding

[left birch]

Hi all!!!!

[sour yacht]

hi

[last reef]

why would i spend all this $ on a computer and not get a ups xD

it's saved my butt a handful of times with grad school projects and the like

[last reef]

umm

@reef sedge mackies

[last reef]

https://mackie.com/en/products/studio-monitoring/cr-x-series/CR3_XBT_arctic_white.html

[sour yacht]

u see that white cable? goes in from the ups 😄 connected my overhead lighting to it. still using wall switch as usual

[last reef]

ngl i saw them on ltt during an upgrade of theirs

[sour yacht]

and i wont be sitting in the dark during outages 😄

[last reef]

yea 2 monitors, computer, and my router plugged into the ups

[restive aurora]

Ya'll don't have whole house ups in the states?

[last reef]

like a battery in a garage?

[restive aurora]

Sort of

[last reef]

i like in a high rise apt with hundreds of people so not a home

no space for everyone to have that

[sour yacht]

tesla has one. what was it called? powerwall or something?

[last reef]

i think so yea

[sour yacht]

good idea sure but unnecessary for the most part

i dont have that kinda budget

[restive aurora]

It's really common in south asia

[last reef]

we have really clean power in US cities for the most part

[restive aurora]

that's also because power outages are very common

[last reef]

in the 6 years i've lived in this apt i've experienced 1 "brown out"

3-5 power outages during storms

[graceful burrow]

I experience brownouts almost daily

In the usa

[sour yacht]

sometimes i can have 3-5 outages in a week lol 😄

short duration but annoying

[restive aurora]

It's wild out here, we get "loadshedding" during some parts of the day for an hour or 30 mins

having solar and big ups's helps

[last reef]

yea my understanding a lot of the worlds energy doesn't have clean waves so the dirty signals destroy (especially older) electronics

at least thats what i learned 20 years ago things change

[restive aurora]

Dirty electricity isn't the problem anymore, there just isn't enough being produced to meet demands

So they cut power from some parts of the country

[last reef]

rolling blackouts

[restive aurora]

We have a 15Kw solar system installled with batteries so it is a non issue but for most people it is a big problem

[last reef]

u should paint the cable the wall color

[sour yacht]

imma just use black electrical tape or something

[last reef]

yea something to make it slightly less stick out

[restive aurora]

Black sharpie

[last reef]

OR a standing mirror

hang it right over it

[sour yacht]

i just changed it recently , didnt bother yet.

[last reef]

you could even hang a plant from the ceiling - yea it's not bad i'm just brainstorming

[sour yacht]

it was going in from bottom of the switch in my first version

[last reef]

is it just a wire to signal ur lights to turn on or is it power to the lights?

cuz u could just get smart bulbs instead

[sour yacht]

power from ups

[last reef]

if its the former

ah fsho

[sour yacht]

i dont like staring at a bright screen in a dark room 😄

gotta keep the lights up

[long briar]

gotta get the dim lighting

[last reef]

big brain move is get more screens then those will lighten the room & more screen real estate 😄

[sour yacht]

and shorten the ups runtime more drastically 😄

[long briar]

I did that at one point, had an old ultrawide be like a clock/dim lighting

300 nits

it barely worked... before the power cable melted

[zenith yacht]

yippie 🎉

[long briar]

sighhhh

[graceful burrow]

Me tryna get banned

hd820 is stupid expensive

[long briar]

it ALSO doesn't sound good

but it's cool

[ionic abyss]

if you bring up my ultrasones i never use i will ignore you

and those were a gift

[long briar]

I've never tried ultrasones

[ionic abyss]

i know how much they were worth new and i know they were a matched set with the custom tube amp and one of 100 ever made

if i added all i ever saved up i wouldnt have a 10th of their value

https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Arctis-Prime-Multiplatform-Compatibility/dp/B0955PVTYX/ are those any good

[long briar]

no

<@&750150305383186585>

not... the right place to do this, please.

[tired glade]

Interesting bot

Oh,46k of them were made

[ebon plover]

Great, the LTT twitter account got hacked

[wispy marsh]

lol

[tired glade]

Again?

Official one, right?

[ebon plover]

Yeah, just saw Linus post about it

[old yacht]

https://x.com/linusgsebastian/status/1822776600632709206

Please be mindfull on Twitter today, Linus is aware and have some people working on it

Linus LinusMediaGroup (@linusgsebastian) on X

BEWARE The main LTT Twitter account has been hijacked.

4 minutes after I received this email I tried to log in, but the password had already been changed. By the time I could update the password, the 2FA had been deactivated/reactivated.

I have contacted Twitter support.

Lol LTT hacked again

[tired glade]

Oh, Russia

[wispy marsh]

Interesting.

[dawn jackal]

Guys let’s troll the hacker

I’m gonna lead them on in DMs

[tired glade]

Oh, right, I need to check if my DMS closed

[wispy marsh]

They know my IP now

[dawn jackal]

Aw I forgot to turn my vpn on

[tired glade]

It most likely bot attack, especially if that location correct

[long briar]

"I have 10 Macbook pros for sale"
(12 seconds later) "Only 10 more left!!!"

[twilit zealot]

I call oopsie daisy

[tired glade]

Also,they won't answer you in English

[tired glade]

Interesting,is it account flagging operation

[twilit zealot]

ok but how come you got hacked from the meme russian city

I guess the only option left for ltt is bombing Voronezh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_bomb_Voronezh)

[empty iron]

im crying

[dawn jackal]

Nothing like getting hacked on a Sunday arvo

[twilit zealot]

at least linus doesn't have to wake up in order to solve it while wearing only his underwear

[tired glade]

I mean, they hadn't log off all devices,si you know, account most like already locked

[nova ingot]

Literally just saw info on the hack

[noble agate]

joined the discord to warn of the twitter lol

[empty iron]

the tech tips arent working

[ivory mirage]

It would be funny to troll them and waste their time, assuming it's safe of course

[long briar]

buddy you've been here for... 20 months

[wispy marsh]

That does nothing, it's most likely a vpn or onion layer in Voronezh

[dawn jackal]

Trying but they’re not responding

[tired glade]

I hope, they improved security culture in company

[twilit zealot]

woah, totally didn't think of that (I'm literally shitposting and don't care)

[long briar]

Luke gettin fired

[ebon plover]

I wonder how they managed to get in the account, cookies again probably

[long briar]

Jokes aside though, it's probably a token stealer again

[wispy marsh]

Lack of 2fa (idts)

[ivory mirage]

Hallo I like macbok pls

[tired glade]

Wait, again?!

[long briar]

token stealer bypasses 2fa

[manic torrent]

2fa bypass

[long briar]

or could've been brute forced and a bypass

[dawn jackal]

I am about to buy one with those specs anyway, what’s the harm 🤷‍♂️

[tired glade]

This was bypass of 2fa

[wispy marsh]

oh yikes

[nova ingot]

Maybe someone tried to run a pdf as an exe again

[long briar]

targeting twitter? definitely not

[twilit zealot]

raise_form_pdf.exe

[long briar]

the moneyshot is the youtube channel, this is something else

[tired glade]

That would be more damaging, that twitter

[dawn jackal]

Of course on the Elon platform too

[manic torrent]

also it's fundamental bad security design at twitter - similar thing to youtube, where all accounts are treated as the same security level/threat/complexity

[ivory mirage]

Gib 600 it go to sharity

[nova ingot]

Maybe they made fun of Linus too much and Elon just sent him the tokens

[wispy marsh]

@tender glade how are the new graphics and game changes from Dawntrail? Do you think more would be coming? I'm kinda interested in going back to the game now that Hellldivers2 has gotten more difficult.

[empty iron]

why is it just the twitter tho 💀

[manic torrent]

but also twitter has no staff anymore

[long briar]

Not how it works either, login token is local

[tired glade]

Can you still use sms as 2fa on twitter?

[twilit zealot]

ok, but unironically, it would be omegabased of LTT if the result of this was donating $6k to charity

[manic torrent]

because that's what they compromised.

[empty iron]

if it was a token stealer or whatever all of their accounts would be compromised no?

[long briar]

depends on what was logged in on the device that was compromised

[empty iron]

unless linus is smarter abt it and have different devices for different accounts now

[ebon plover]

Depends what device and what was logged in

[wispy marsh]

Twitter: We have security

Elon: No you don't

[long briar]

they always have, they have 100 staff, a few of which run social media accounts

[quasi minnow]

joined cause I saw the weird tweet

[smoky badge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1155sda/twitter_to_remove_sms_2fa_for_nontwitter_blue/

[dawn jackal]

Don’t deadname my platform

[tender glade]

hold on ill respond to u after this dungeon

[quasi minnow]

almost fell for it tbh, was looking to buy a macbook and thought it could be related to the hoarder video that went live recently

[dawn jackal]

Wow that’s genuinely stupid

[empty iron]

at least you didnt 😭

[quasi minnow]

(didn't watch the hoarder video tho

[smoky badge]

Money!!

[wispy marsh]

Anytime! I'll be at home for the next 23 hours.

[long briar]

SMS 2fa is probably worst or second worst method of 2FA

[tired glade]

Ok,they are finally did it

It will be interesting to find out how hack was done

[quasi minnow]

I was really close to sending them a DM but then I realized the account was locked and the tweet was reply-locked

[quasi minnow]

yeah

[long briar]

too easy to sim swap, esp with the way mobile companies barely train their employees, low pay and high authority

[wispy marsh]

They got the account... back?

The macbook post is gone, it's good news.

[dawn jackal]

Here is Australia it’s used for pretty much everything, plus SIM Jacking is a bit harder and government cracks down on it quite hard. So I’m used to SMS 2fa for everything

[long briar]

I use Google Authenticator

[tired glade]

Hacking already over

[twilit zealot]

boring

[long briar]

Great app... except that it doesn't have a screen lock on it for some reason?

[ivory mirage]

Original post is gone, but it's popping up again

[twilit zealot]

no $TSLA investor streams, no nothing

[smoky badge]

Try aegis

[long briar]

nah

[ebon plover]

They haven’t got it back yet

Authenticator has cloud backup to my Google account

[ivory mirage]

I want my free mecbok

[tired glade]

It was russian hack,so not crypto scams

[twilit zealot]

I'm afraid you have to pay $600 for it my friend

[ivory mirage]

[graceful burrow]

Source?

[twilit zealot]

literally linus post above

[smoky badge]

you can back up that Authenticator app

[twilit zealot]

but if you buy 2 you can save $200

Buy 2, get the third mecboks for free

[wispy marsh]

It's still up

[tired glade]

That's long post from mods

[grim belfry]

SIM Jacking is alive and well lmao

[tired glade]

It still alive

[grim belfry]

Number portability requires that a telco port over a number with just a DoB and phone number

If they require any more information, the ACMA will get mad at them

[wispy marsh]

I think my Telco requires verification from the central government database with a unique access key or integration

[tender glade]

The new graphics are very good, Its noticable a lot in old dungeons and old arr places, and like housing, especially backdrops and skys, It depends. They need to drop support of the PS4 for more graphical updates. Its really holding them back when it comes to job design, (the limited hotbars) graphics, again the limited processors, and a lot of things. But the problem is square enix is kind of in a bad place where they rely on 2 or 3 big game releases a year, and they cant just drop support of the so recently after theyve dropped support of the ps5

[harsh quartz]

Common Console L

[tender glade]

DT is more fun than endwalker, I love the story design, the new savage fights are very entertaining and, ,most of the controversy its gotten is from people who cant handle the idea that the story is taking a different turn for once in the last 14 years of development. Tbh, most of the critisiscm IMO is invalid and really comes off as... shallow when you actually play it

[wispy marsh]

I see. Two 28nm 4-core x86 processor running 8GB of DDR3 and a customised FreeBSD OS. It's about as old as the i7-2600, released just one year after it and I can see why you say the hardware is a limitation.

[tender glade]

Square Enix really needs to make a good game that isnt forspoken or whatever trash they released this year
they rely too much on Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy mainline series, and FFXIV is on a two year patch cycle per expansion, otherwise they have nothing to release in between these games that keeps them going

[wispy marsh]

I stopped in the middle of shadowblood because the solo queue became a bit too much for me to handle

[tender glade]

Their Marvel stuff all failed

Private and offering a sketchy sounding deal

Only just seen the notification

Now the posts are still up

[tired glade]

Oh, just 15

[wispy marsh]

I realised Fantasian, Various Daylife and FF are the only things I recognise that's from Square

[tired glade]

Oh, twitter hadn't locked account yet
