I open the hub and x on campus internet like it owe me shit

[lyric galleon]

[full fossil]

And unironically I’m going to work with them

[merry mountain]

Im paying like 80 a month for my service.

[gilded quest]

im already bored

I just wanna try XeSS2

[lyric galleon]

[merry mountain]

That game pissed me off.

[full fossil]

Once I move out I’ll be paying around 40 bucks for symmetrical gigabit

[gilded quest]

I just wanna try XeSS2

[lyric galleon]

40 bucks for a gigabit is crazy expensive

[merry mountain]

My service delivers like 1200 mbps

[gilded quest]

im at $70/month for 2gig

[lyric galleon]

that's crazy

[gilded quest]

better than any cable internet provider

[merry mountain]

Who are you with?

[gilded quest]

preferring a macbook keyboard at a desk is crazy

[lyric galleon]

ahem (I pay 42€ for 8gbit)

[lyric galleon]

macbook keyboards are awesomesauce

[gilded quest]

great I don't live in europe

[merry mountain]

All these other internet providers where I live have crap services.

[full fossil]

That’s Taiwan for you

[gilded quest]

Ziply Fiber

[lyric galleon]

[merry mountain]

Then TELL ME. I live in the US as well.

[gilded quest]

my fibre provder is exclusively in the pacific northwest

[lyric galleon]

wasnt Google fiber pretty acceptable with pricing,m

?

[wraith sonnet]

Yeah where it's available

[lyric galleon]

hm

[merry mountain]

Damn it

[lyric galleon]

I'm running Delta

[merry mountain]

Y’all balling rich bro

[lyric galleon]

42€ for phone, tv and 8gbit symmetrical. Just absolutely great

[lyric galleon]

not rlly

[wraith sonnet]

ups and downs to each country on the planet

[merry mountain]

Minnesota sucks ass

[lyric galleon]

we can get 80gbit fiber here too for some reason

to a residential..

[merry mountain]

Might have to buy myself a property where you live and travel there for vacation or business.

[lyric galleon]

Youre free to join the land of the cheese and 24/7 rain

and ehm

bikes

(we have more bikes than people btw)

[merry mountain]

Can y’all open TikTok too? Or operate it? I read and heard it was shutting down at 8:30 AM not NOW.

[lyric galleon]

yes we can

[merry mountain]

You’re not American so this statement doesn’t apply to you.

[alpine gale]

I am still able to access TikTok's website and see the app in the Android + iOS AppStores no problem.

[lyric galleon]

thought this was pointed at me

[slow wave]

gday

[vivid hearth]

Me, never had vine or tik tok, just watching this burn: r.i.p bozo

[lyric galleon]

damn

[merry mountain]

It works but I can’t like, see comments, view pfps, or anything but watch the videos.

[lyric galleon]

I watched both crumble

[vivid hearth]

Meanwhile how's 2: Drama Bee Poo Boogaloo going?

[alpine gale]

All of that is working fine for me from my location. 👍

[merry mountain]

I’ve helped so many businesses and people with finance. I need it back again because I had a nice following.

[vivid hearth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[merry mountain]

I’ll be fine without it anyways. It was just so good with marketing.

[vivid hearth]

I just never cared for it... meanwhile I really need to finish video scripts and some mix stuff for getting back into the saddle.

[merry mountain]

Instagram and Facebook suck for marketing.

[merry mountain]

You’re not American you imposter.

[alpine gale]

Correct. That was not a prerequisite to your original question though so...?

[zealous cedar]

I’m blocked

I’m glad it’s not tornado season yet. I had faster updates in TikTok than the news.

Even got the pds alert early on tiktok.

[merry mountain]

Exactly. I made so many good day trading and option trading plays because of TikTok.

[lyric galleon]

bro what

[merry mountain]

There’s no way that’s real.

[lyric galleon]

yeah no it isnt

Apparently

Still funny though

[past valley]

which channel is best for advice on making my old pc a file server?

[merry mountain]

Anywhere

[severe sierra]

can someone help me

[past valley]

Well, ok.

I've tried in the past lol, didn;t go well

Basically just need software suggestions

[merry mountain]

Idk honestly💀

[past valley]

something that auto backups, ETC and would be nice if it acted as an FTP with a good GUI

[zealous cedar]

True nas is going to good but you may not want to be that involved

[merry mountain]

Yea I don’t know shit about that.

[strange elk]

That ear was having a hard time keeping its shape

[past valley]

lol this is what happend last time

[merry mountain]

Tell.

[pallid falcon]

Mine died. Rip

Youtube shorts quality lower imo

[zealous cedar]

Same

[pallid falcon]

Hear me out:

Zzzzz (shh im eeping(

[strange elk]

Idk why but I reeeeeeeeally irrationally fucking hate this addendum

[pallid falcon]

I do to

[left schooner]

WHAT'S UPPP

[merry mountain]

My FYP is stuck on a dude sailing a boat talking about “How it feels scrolling on TikTok during her last moments”.

[strange elk]

TikTok being the her? I mean either way its depressing

[severe sierra]

look at tech support

[merry mountain]

Legally speaking, he can help save TikTok but reviewing all the papers and what TikTok is, I highly doubt it can be saved unless purchased by a US company.

[zealous cedar]

If it’s purchased by a us company it’s not worth using then

[merry mountain]

Business legal suits are harder for foreigners to fight against US in court. I hated studying business laws with taxes and everything but they’re worth it.

[strange elk]

What made it worth it before?

[manic torrent]

FTP? In 2025?

[zealous cedar]

Mass open communication not as censored by the US.
It’s how I stayed on top of the Ukraine war among other things

[merry mountain]

Well that’s the only option it can come by unless they have a strong defensive statue that can help TikTok by informing it’s against the constitutional rights.

[manic torrent]

Lol trump doesn't give a fuck about legal

[strange elk]

SAMBA

[merry mountain]

I care because Biden and Kamala fucked us with these high ass business tax and high demands for materials. Though, Trump will too with tariffs but that’s better than paying high taxes for my business.

[zealous cedar]

There are other ways I’m sure the US citizens could persuade the government. 😉

[merry mountain]

Yea, no. I’m not doing it.

[manic torrent]

Lol ok that's certainly a take

[merry mountain]

The company I’m working with, business dropped HARD because of these tax cuts and low profit margins due to high demands of everyday purchases. It was tough trying to support these small and bigger companies cutting back on spending, employees, and business cost.

[patent violet]

we had a vendor try to get us to use FTP recently

I wouldnt get off the phone until they "Remembered they had another means"

[manic torrent]

You said it was due to high taxes? What is it. How is that the fault of the federal government at all, let alone the president?

You're not wrong about the overall situation being hard, but your attribution of causation seems to be a little off.

[patent violet]

high demands for materials was bidens fault? what

the population is what defines demand for anything

[strange elk]

Politics? In my tech server?

[merry mountain]

True

So what does the fyp look like now since the Americans are gone? Have Dylan made a new video yet?

[past valley]

Just for me and client to access

• clients

[merry mountain]

That’s why we changed topics.

[winged spire]

LOL

US iq Up 200%

[alpine gale]

No idea. I refuse to actually use the platform because it increases the affects of my ADHD, and more importantly to me, is a waste of my limited time on this planet. I just know it isn't blocked here.

[merry mountain]

I wanna keep it neutral.

[winged spire]

National test scores up to record levels

[manic torrent]

I don't care. It's still stupid. I wouldn't run it anywhere under any circumstances unless it was for a very specific legacy use case, and even then would advocate for something to say least be planned to replace it.

[manic torrent]

First day on the internet?

[merry mountain]

Don’t hurt him now about it.

[past valley]

what?

[manic torrent]

...

[past valley]

Run what>?

[merry mountain]

Yea I passed high school with a 2.0 GPA but my businesses and partnerships says otherwise.

[winged spire]

Congrats 🤨

[manic torrent]

Sftp, http uploader, owncloud, S3, SMB, rsync, anything

[manic torrent]

We can tell.

[past valley]

What are you talking about

Are thhose other options?

[quasi belfry]

Ngl, wouldn’t fully expect the USA to have the spine to actually ban TikTok but good that it did

[manic torrent]

Alternatives to FTP

[past valley]

?Then just say that

[merry mountain]

Yes now kids can hop off and actually go outside.

[manic torrent]

False

[quasi belfry]

Sorry to inform you about rednote

Or YouTube shorts

Or the entirety of instagram

[strange elk]

Actually people are leaving instagram I think

[quasi belfry]

Huh, interesting

[manic torrent]

Context exists.

[past valley]

Christ your un helplful

[merry mountain]

Lmao

[past valley]

like talking to reddit thoe whole website

[quasi belfry]

Use ZTT then

And UB while you’re at it

[manic torrent]

Says the dude implementing FTP commercially in 2025

[winged spire]

This is a fantastic comparison

[past valley]

saying FTP is like sayting kleenex

[quasi belfry]

What’s an FTP

[strange elk]

No its like saying tissue

[winged spire]

It is exactly like speaking to mr reddit

[merry mountain]

No idea as well.

[manic torrent]

It literally isn't. FTP is File Transfer Protocol

[strange elk]

Filezilla is kleenex

[past valley]

no shit

[merry mountain]

Maybe he’s a visual learner.

[zealous cedar]

Is just use OneDrive or Google drive and share a folder with your client.

[past valley]

I think it's cheaper to have my own with amount of data I have

[manic torrent]

I don't care if it's cheaper, you couldn't secure a paper bag.

[zealous cedar]

How much data? It’s 6.99 for 1TB for one drive.

[past valley]

What

40/50 TB at a given time

so, recommendations for software that does back ups and I can access the files from where ever and share links to clients

[manic torrent]

So let's rewind a bit. When you said "FTP" did you mean "FTP" or did you think that FTP just means any kind of file transfer (because it doesn't)

[past valley]

...

Hardware Bob your super unhelpful

[merry mountain]

I think it’s the lack of information being given on your end.

[manic torrent]

Seriously it's kind of the fundamental issue at hand

[alpine gale]

If you want simplicity at an albeit higher cost, go with a pre-built Synology NAS with enough Drive Bays for the amount of data you need to store.
https://www.synology.com/en-ca/support/RAID_calculator?drives=20 TB|20 TB|20 TB|20 TB&raid=SHR_1|SHR_2

[past valley]

Thanks'

I could just do that

[zealous cedar]

That or set one up yourself with true nas

[alpine gale]

If you are okay building, configuring, and maintaining your own solution, which might cost less but requires WAY MORE care and attention to detail, build a TrueNAS Scale system. https://forum.level1techs.com/t/getting-started-with-truenas-scale-part-1-hardware-installation-and-initial-configuration/182361

[zealous cedar]

Boom

[past valley]

Thanks

[past valley]

Thats what I was hopinh for thanks for the help, I'll check it out

[manic torrent]

Holy XY problem

[zealous cedar]

To Bobs point, just don’t use ftp. Highly insecure.

[past valley]

See Hardware Bob thats how humans talk to each other

Think you spend a little too much time around computer dude

[alpine gale]

Yep, a little bit. 😦 I am usually able to figure out XY problems as I haven't yet found myself requiring a shot of Fireball every time an XY problem comes up. One day I'm sure I'll hit that wall though. 😄

[manic torrent]

My problem is that from your original comments I assume some vague level of knowledge or competence. Clearly that was wrong.

[merry mountain]

This guy has an attitude I’d like in my company.

[past valley]

Not sure you smart enough to be making assumtions

[manic torrent]

Id like you to meet my friends, dunning and kruger

[alpine gale]

Welcome. All I'll say is if this is for personal use / learning / non-production, TrueNAS or Synology will work fine. But if this is for production / professional / business use... and you don't have gobs of time to maintain the security and resiliency of the system, I would strongly recommend NOT going the DIY route. (Unless your client contracts include a clause that makes you not liable for ANYTHING going wrong with the storage of their data. Depending on your jurisdiction, Data Protection / Liability lawsuits are no joke.)

[strange elk]

I need to watch for this ngl. Apparently Ive gotten close to it before

[silver plinth]

Anyone have a good and cheap computer desk they recommend?

[winged spire]

It’s funny he brings up friends, he doesn’t have any

[merry mountain]

How cheap?

[strange elk]

If US based try facebook marketplace or freebie alerts or smth

[past valley]

Just to share large file a create for them, Once they have them on their end I delete them on mine.

[neon mesa]

Look at this

[winged spire]

Is this real lol

[strange elk]

Oh so like mediafire

[past valley]

Thanks all (cept Dorkware Bob). Have a good night'

[neon mesa]

Well, of course not real life

[winged spire]

One day 😭😭😭

[alpine gale]

If you have access to IKEA, their LINNMON (or whatever the equivalent is these days) makes for a decent cheap desk... so long as you buy enough legs to support what you're putting on it.
https://ikeahackers.net/#growMeSearch=linnmon

[neon mesa]

But the starship design seems like also the optimal design for any future exo atmospheric fighters

[pallid falcon]

With the TT ban..

It means my phone came pre installed with a illegal app..

[zealous cedar]

Quick sell it on eBay!

One i can't uninstall, only disable..

your phone had tiktok preinstalled?

how the fuck

Yes the cybertruck is a piece of shit

[neon mesa]

Many chinese based phones have it preinstalled

[hollow coral]

how are they even calling this a truck 😭

[neon mesa]

I forgot if xiaomi still put junk preinstalled or not

[hollow coral]

like i’ll stand down, utes can be trucks but that ain’t no ute or truck 💔

[hollow coral]

no idea, haven’t had a chinese phone for years

had iphone since 2016?

@manic torrent do you think a premix jack daniel’s at 3pm is socially acceptable

[quasi belfry]

Why the hell does nvidia want my damn address

For a SOFTWARE product

[hollow coral]

well if you’re buying a gpu id say so they can ship it

nvm. what the fuck

[quasi belfry]

It’s software

[hollow coral]

are they like razer? do they have things you can earn

[quasi belfry]

No physical thing is moving except the electricity to say “you got the subscription thing”

[hollow coral]

wait is it the nvidia cloud stuff

[quasi belfry]

It’s GeForce NOW so no

[hollow coral]

thatd be a billing address no?

kind of something everything has when youre paying

[quasi belfry]

I just wanna use a damn gift card I got :(

[hollow coral]

i mean if you arent using card then that is kinda weird

[quasi belfry]

Also it’s forcing me to go with the ultimate subscription

[hollow coral]

but also what they gonna do with your address anyway

[quasi belfry]

Because the mid tier is “sold out”

[minor vale]

is my drive okay 💀

[hollow coral]

seagate compute

[alpine gale]

Usually tax reasons. If paying by Credit Card, often for card verification. If paying by pre-paid / gift Credit Card, there's a 50/50 chance the transaction won't process even with your address.

[quasi belfry]

Idk, might throw in a fake one cause I don’t feel like putting in my actual address

[hollow coral]

yes? mines cooked...

[minor vale]

?

[hollow coral]

thats what drive you have

[minor vale]

oh yeah

its being very slow rn though

[hollow coral]

anyway dw till you see caution

[minor vale]

nah

[hollow coral]

im about to be transferring everything onto my other drives and replace it

[minor vale]

i had a completely dead drive one time and it said "good!"

[hollow coral]

reallocated sector count is the one thatll kill my drive

[manic torrent]

at work on Tuesday? No. On the weekend? Sure.

[alpine gale]

This is why you should always have a backup copy of any data you cannot re-create or download easily. Everything can and will eventually fail - it's just a matter of time. Better to backup than lose everything.

[hollow coral]

well good thing it’s sunday!

[quasi belfry]

How tf do you sell out of these, it’s software

[alpine gale]

No its not... Not entirely. You're renting their hardware in a Datacenter. If they run out of units... they can't just "software" more into existence. 🤣

[minor vale]

right luckily my hard drive is just games i can easily redownload

[quasi belfry]

Fair enough

[minor vale]

does anything in here look off to anyone?

[manic torrent]

.... You are cooked.

[quasi belfry]

I don’t use cloud stuff often :(

[alpine gale]

I say this politely but... "The cloud is just someone else's computer."

[manic torrent]

It's not magic 🙂

[quasi belfry]

It is to me

[alpine gale]

Except for Dev Null as a Service - that is true magic. https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

[manic torrent]

Someone who is better at it than you and has more scale, but .... Yes.

[minor vale]

wait what are the read and seek error rates

[manic torrent]

True, dev null as a service is a revolution

[hollow coral]

how is cloud stuff magic?

it’s just stored on something you can access over the internet

very basic explanation but that’s kind of it

[full fossil]

I am vacationing in Thailand and the US TikTok ban affects me

[hollow coral]

yea it’s account based

not current location

[manic torrent]

There is absolutely a level of magic.

[hollow coral]

how so?

[manic torrent]

Provisioning a server or service within minutes?

Deploying an entire stack automatically?

[hollow coral]

i mean its just technology, magic isnt real

[teal estuary]

any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic

[long briar]

you got the quote wrong

wait lemme nerd emoji myself

[teal estuary]

correct me then

[long briar]

any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

[manic torrent]

I understand how literally all of it works, and it's still a little magical to me. You're basically leveraging thousands and thousands of hours of pre existing effort to do something quickly.

[teal estuary]

changing the word order doesn't change the meaning though

[north escarp]

Feels rogue putting you on a stick and roasting you

[patent violet]

its only magic to someone who believes they wont ever be able to figure it out.

[teal estuary]

consider the following, some wizards (double meaning intended) decided it would be a good idea to imbue rocks with lightning, and now we have sand that can think

[patent violet]

to others, its a challenge

takes out wand now I gotta go study

[long briar]

exactly why I said I had to erm acktually 🤓 👆 myself

[manic torrent]

Like I said, it feels a little magical to me and I understand it better than most. Magical doesn't mean I don't understand

[long briar]

quote still stands and completely valid

[patent violet]

Something about RAN

[north escarp]

How to make a rock think sounds complicated from an out of context perspective and Maybe magic

[teal estuary]

thinking sand, we have thinking fucking sand

yes, that shit that is course, rough, and gets everywhere
we made it think

[manic torrent]

I wouldn't say think, but we have logical sand

[teal estuary]

im being a bit hyperbolic, but the point stands

[manic torrent]

Arbitrary instruction sand

[hollow coral]

magic isnt real meaning cloud storage isnt magic

[north escarp]

You right you right

[hollow coral]

seemple

[manic torrent]

.... Dude. The cloud goes beyond storage.

[hollow coral]

unless you wanna say its slight of hand

[hollow coral]

i was just saying cos before we were simply talking about cloud storage

[long briar]

I love this

[manic torrent]

If you don't think cloud is magic, I would say you don't know enough about it.

[teal estuary]

IAAS is wild that its a thing

[hollow coral]

all i was saying is, magic isnt real

[regal peak]

yo what do u guys think about arcteryx

[manic torrent]

You are provably wrong

[hollow coral]

no im not

all magic is slight of hand

[manic torrent]

My door camera can recognise my face and unlock the door. You're telling me that isn't magic?

[hollow coral]

you cant magically make a ball appear behind someones ear

[manic torrent]

Maybe you're just too young.

[manic torrent]

You absolutely can

[hollow coral]

yea cos it has your facial id stored

[teal estuary]

theoretically possible

[hollow coral]

like what

[long briar]

how does facial id work?

[hollow coral]

most of the time its just eye scanning

[manic torrent]

That doesn't make it not magic

[long briar]

what kind of algorithms allow it?

[teal estuary]

black magic

[hollow coral]

by this logic face id is magic lmao

which its not

[patent violet]

Honestly after you really study into this, it becomes pretty boring and it looses that awesome feel since its actually stupid simple logic

[north escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/twilight-zone-nigtmare-gif-5445538

[hollow coral]

it just scans your retinas

[teal estuary]

no, its not doing that

[patent violet]

although the fact its a simple solution makes it cool in another way

[manic torrent]

Except when you step back and realise it's amazing

[teal estuary]

its mostly facial structure

[hollow coral]

but it is. my phone only unlocks if it can see my eyes

[long briar]

I think if you just know the general how it works and just appreciate how seamless engineers have made it nowadays, it's fricken awesome

[manic torrent]

None of the steps are magic, the magic is an emergent property

[hollow coral]

i cant have my eyes closed and unlock my phone

[teal estuary]

it using your eyes as part of the unlock doesnt mean its doing a retina scan

[patent violet]

thats the other sense of cool

[manic torrent]

.... You don't understand how it works.

[hollow coral]

its still scanning your eyes and is required

[teal estuary]

its also doing a lot more magic than just that

[manic torrent]

It is using your eyes as a key part of the facial structure. That is not scanning your eyes

[hollow coral]

remembering facial structure is magic guys

[north escarp]

By literal term we do make some pretty wild events based on mysterious forces

[patent violet]

especially since I can make a door control with local on SoC AI with python and a cheap SoC from the asias

see now thats fucking magic

[north escarp]

Cpp is magic

[patent violet]

the example code is like 200 lines or something

most of it comments

[hollow coral]

so by your logic a pc is magic

what we are doing is magic

[teal estuary]

the c preprocessor is turing complete, and have you seen template errors?

[long briar]

how does a computer "remember" you?

[manic torrent]

Is it not a magic box that conjures illusions?

[patent violet]

I abuse the fuck out of templates and I should honestly stop

[hollow coral]

not an illusion if its real

and actually happening

[teal estuary]

i've probably done worse than you

[manic torrent]

It isn't real though. Doom isn't real.

[long briar]

oh boy, is Love real?

[hollow coral]

can be

[manic torrent]

What is love?

[teal estuary]

baby dont hurt me

[hollow coral]

baby dont hurt me

hahaha

[hollow coral]

dont hurt me

[long briar]

W responses

no more

[hollow coral]

no more

good song

[long briar]

Agree

[hollow coral]

anyway, youre throwing the term magic around like its loose change

atp nothing we do isnt magic then

[grim belfry]

Also to make sure you’re not asleep

[alpine gale]

Yes, it's real. Allegedly. Maybe. Or maybe it's all fake. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-y11kJzwe4Y

[hollow coral]

absolutely amazing song i have on 🙏

that would make this beat i made also magic even tho its just instruments and sounds

cant just throw the term around for everything

GG's

[hollow coral]

imagine being american and having no tiktok

lmaooo since the ban the amount of likes my comment has been getting went from 100-200 every 30 minutes to 5

[patent violet]

Right now im doing something prob really stupid with recursive class templates. Since there is 3 to 6 tiers to it, I have to redefine every function previously defined by doing crap like below in order for the first piece of the template to have the ability call further down.
bool inline getRegisterBit(uint8_t registers, uint8_t bit) { return this->getRegisterBit(registers, bit); }

im also not using seperate headers and source code lol im putting everything in .tpp files

and cos its a mac theyre not gaming thats for sure

unless theyre trying to play chapter 2 fortnite lol

[teal estuary]

SSDs are cheap enough that for general computers they should be preferred

they are more shock resistant, and make using the computer faster/snappier

[hollow coral]

well 2tb is still not that cheap

like a 2tb hdd is like 60aud but a 2tb 2.5 ssd is like 140aud

[teal estuary]

general computers dont need 2TB

[hollow coral]

depends

we dont know what theyre doing with that mac

could be graphic design, could be editing

could be anything (except gaming)

[teal estuary]

well, its an M4 mac mini, it cant fit a 2.5" drive, so theres that

[hollow coral]

i know that

[teal estuary]

but in general, SSD is still preferable

[hollow coral]

m.2 ones are generally more expensive

[teal estuary]

not anymore

[hollow coral]

you also have to take into account their budget

[teal estuary]

m.2s are usually cheaper than 2.5"

[hollow coral]

that same drive could have been too much as an ssd

[wispy trench]

I use HDDs for general file storage and very old retro games

[hollow coral]

in australia an m.2 ssd is more expensive than a 2.5

[wispy trench]

i run all games which were made within the last 15 years from an SSD though

[hollow coral]

Crucial P3 is 160 and a Patriot P210 is 140

[teal estuary]

US of A, generally m.2 is cheaper

[hollow coral]

20$ difference but still a difference

they could live somewhere that puts m.2 ssds still much more expensive

because its not universally cheaper too

[teal estuary]

Samsung 870 evo 1TB (2.5"): $90
Samsung 990 evo 1TB (m.2): $75

^ on amazon

[hollow coral]

let me have a look on au amazon

140aud for the m.2, and 140 for the 2.5

wait no, 75 on amazon for the 2.5 sorry

so almost double the price for the same drives you said

[patent violet]

If were ignoring all performance requirements, how cheap can we get m.2 NVMe though

[teal estuary]

Crucial P3 1TB is about $60
Crucial MX500 is is $79 (BX500 ~$60)

[hollow coral]

economy be crazy

[teal estuary]

TEAM MP33 is $50 for a 1TB drive

[patent violet]

Because I can get 2TB SATA SSDs for $40 like the WD SA510

[hollow coral]

63AUD for m.2, 115 for the MX500, prob the only time itll be cheaper

oh wait the m.2 was a 500gb

[teal estuary]

1TB TEAMGROUP MS30 is $45

[hollow coral]

1tb was 90

[patent violet]

2TB is double price

[hollow coral]

a 1tb wd green 2.5 is around 100aud sn770 1tb is around that price but more

in the US it might be cheaper but we have no idea where that person lives and if m.2 ssd is cheaper there

[teal estuary]

i assume US until told otherwise

[hollow coral]

bad to assume things

thats why i dont

i ask before saying to buy something else lol

[patent violet]

It would be really nice if 4TB SATA SSD's would drop in price

[teal estuary]

most people in this server are in the US

[hollow coral]

thats okay, still shouldnt just assume someone lives in the US

and there is prob same amount in europe/asia as america

[teal estuary]

in this discord? oh hell no

[dawn wolf]

HI!

[hollow coral]

you dont know that tho lol

[winged spire]

its a great day

tiktok is horrible

[hollow coral]

real

(i still have it)

[winged spire]

atleast rednote allows native chinese citizens to interact with americans and its already educating people on both sides

about the opposite side's culture

[hollow coral]

i cba with rednote lol

[winged spire]

I wont use it

[hollow coral]

its just gonna be the same content as tiktok and i still have tiktok so

[patent violet]

mfw there is missing information in the EN Datasheet but can be found in the CN Datasheet

[hollow coral]

you are speaking a whole notha language to me

what is EN and CN?

[patent violet]

so are they sadly

[winged spire]

english

[patent violet]

English and Chinese

[hollow coral]

oh wait

[winged spire]

china

[hollow coral]

yea i realised as you said

thought you were talkin about what you were doing before lol

[hollow coral]

this

yk its wild, replies have been a thing on discord for 3 years now? and ppl still dont know they can turn off the ping

like even ppl who have had their account as long as me 😭

[patent violet]

its always some stupid important detail that will make you bang your head against the desk thinking somethings broken.... then they get you with the "Make sure you do this during XYZ or itll not work"

[hollow coral]

😭

man when is discord gonna make themes like on betterdiscord an actual feature

the ones we have now are shit and why is midnight only on mobile?

you have to break tos to get real dark mode

[patent violet]

actually please dont beause knowing them and how the current application is written, they will load every damn theme into memory like they do everything else

[hollow coral]

oh wait

[patent violet]

and itll add 200M to the RAM Use

[hollow coral]

but also, they could just make it so ppl can upload them like with better discord.

so you dont have to break tos to have a theme

[hollow coral]

tbf 200MB isnt that much

i mean it already uses 200MB

nvm, 800

the way opera does the ram limit is so goofy, it just "closes" the tab until you up the limit

[patent violet]

It adds up quick. Especially when you have other things running that might need it. And this is discord, so it may be running on a shitty laptop.. I mean its a chat service, not supposed to be heavy

[hollow coral]

that is true yes but if it is running on a shitty laptop you prob only have discord and a browser open, maybe spotify

HOWEVER they should if they do, have it so you have to download the themes from their site instead of having them all in discord

or you like go to the site and add the theme to your account and then in your themes it’s there

or even allow people to upload their own pictures to discord with a template

couldn’t be that hard right

[neon mesa]

"It's just 200mb"

buzz lightyear in the toystore meme

those three in the red box are all fkin chromium

[mortal kraken]

It's a chat service thats already bloaty and heavy

[mortal kraken]

What are you doing in python thats taking 9GB

[neon mesa]

flux.1 dev

need ideas for the frontend of my project

[crude vortex]

are y’all americans happy?ahhaaha

[neon mesa]

not american, even if i am, there's youtube shorts kek

wonder why they didn't move there instead of fkin rednote

well, i rather they don't make shorts worse than it already is

[strange elk]

Only thing I can come up with is they were paid to push people over

[manic torrent]

Looooolllll

[candid heath]

Senators are scared that tiktok is controlled by the ccp then after it got banned, everyone moves to a xiaohongshu which is controlled by the ccp

[neon mesa]

unless they ban that too the only conclusion is they don't actually GAF about the CCP part

A safe bet would be involving money

[candid heath]

i think mr beast and kick offered to buy tiktok but i dont think theyll sell

[neon mesa]

china won't allow
even if china allow, they're too broke to buy tiktok

[candid heath]

they will probably wait until trump pardons them

[crude vortex]

mrbeast doesnt have enough money to buy tiktok wtf💀

[candid heath]

he posted something on instagram reels

[crude vortex]

do y’all really want tiktok in your country?

[crude vortex]

he likes to joke around ig

[candid heath]

probably

[crude vortex]

i live in india,its been 5 years since tiktok got banned.everybody is just doom scrolling insta reels now

[quasi belfry]

No

[hybrid echo]

Free speech shouldn't be held back from the masses yk

[crude vortex]

brainrot is not something you should be considering as free speech yk

[candid heath]

i think banning tiktok will do more good then harm for the americans

[crude vortex]

exactly

[hybrid echo]

That's not what tiktok only offers, a lot of people growed a living based off of it, and lots of people all over the world shared there experiences in tragic events, so brain rot isn't everything on tiktok

[quasi belfry]

Tiktok is the exact opposite of freespeech

[willow bramble]

Was also a great avenue for marketing for smaller creators like indie game developers

[crude vortex]

as much as ive heard from modt of tiktokers,tiktok BARELY pays creators

[candid heath]

just use instagram reels or twitter

[hybrid echo]

Wym

[willow bramble]

The byte dance ban also affected marvel snap publisher

So no marvel snap in the US for now

[crude vortex]

can do that on yt shorts too

or reels

[willow bramble]

No where near the same reach

[quasi belfry]

You the stupid

[willow bramble]

The algorithm on tiktok was pretty decent in terms of honing in on a user interests

[crude vortex]

dude trust me,tiktok ban wont affect in long term.its been 5 years since it got banned in india,creators are still growing

[quasi belfry]

TikTok’s algorithm is the reason I heavily disliked it

[crude vortex]

bro never scrolled reels or shorts lmfao😭🙏🏻

[candid heath]

it also promotes doomscrolling making users spend more time on the app then they would realisticly want

[quasi belfry]

I’ve never handled it myself but it seems so fucking wrong

[hybrid echo]

The tiktok algorithm is way more sophisticated than others tbh

[willow bramble]

Then ban half of the internet

[quasi belfry]

Doomscrolling will kill the feature

[crude vortex]

all vertical scrolling apps,be it reels shorts or tiktok,its all about how to make people stay on the app LONGER

[hybrid echo]

No lmao, people who are addicted to watching it do, I mean yeah it gets addictive, but also you can enjoy the app with slight moderation tho

[willow bramble]

In terms of market, losing a US audience massively outweighs India

[crude vortex]

so this could be an opportunity to fix your goldfish attention span.

[quasi belfry]

They can’t focus for more than 60 seconds to get any good degrees to get a job in any IT position thus slowly the industry will die due to the lack of people

[willow bramble]

If you look at ad revenue, 1000 impressions in the US is almost 5-10 times more than India

[candid heath]

instagram has introduced a feature that limits users under 18 yo to one hour of screentime

[crude vortex]

my point.

[quasi belfry]

Be real, 99% of the people aren’t doing it in moderation

I watch podcasts in horrific unmoderation

[crude vortex]

i mean if you want to braindead spend your whole life doomscrolling sure go ahead

[hybrid echo]

Nothing to do with it but alr

[crude vortex]

but if you feel that an application getting banned is affecting your life,well you need help.

[candid heath]

if more platforms prompt users to stop doomscrolling and add daily limits i think they should be allowed

[willow bramble]

If it means people are potentially losing jobs, yes it's a concern

[hybrid echo]

Listen, I havent had this app since like 3 hours ago, but even with only using this app for 3 hours my whole life, I can say that other people will be affected, whether it's from reading articles to even speaking with other tbh

[quasi belfry]

So many servers I’m in got flooded with people saying “my life is fucking ruined” or some shit + an image of the notice that TikTok is shutting down in the USA and apparently Canada

[willow bramble]

The app ban was nothing to do with doomscrolling

[candid heath]

there are only a thousand people who make a living of tiktok

[crude vortex]

not really,most of the tiktokers repost on yt shorts and insta reels.

[candid heath]

and their only source of income being tiktok and not yt shorts and reels is lower

[hybrid echo]

The American corps rlly love monopolies don't they

[willow bramble]

It's a marketing outlet for many other companies

[quasi belfry]

I was just concerned over the data privacy

[willow bramble]

It was relatively low cost for indie game developers

[hybrid echo]

Basically every US social media company does worse with ur data lmao

[crude vortex]

you mean the drop-shippers which are destined to fail?

[candid heath]

facebook has a worse privacy policy

[quasi belfry]

I want all my data to remain domestic

[willow bramble]

Yet you are on discord that is heavily invested by tencent

[quasi belfry]

I’m more comfortable with it

[willow bramble]

No

[hybrid echo]

They be doing stuff with your data way worse than what bytedance ever did

[quasi belfry]

Then what? Discord is sending every tiny little suckle of data to the CCP?

[alpine gale]

I get what you're trying to say, but in reality, the only way to ensure your data is never misused is to not share anything you don't want someone to misuse in the first place, which means not using many services.

[willow bramble]

Was tiktok?

[hybrid echo]

cccp*

[candid heath]

tencent doesnt own shares in discord they have just invested a undisclosed amount, that amount could be as little as 1 million for all we know

[quasi belfry]

I say I live in north dekota. Which I don’t

Tad more north

[willow bramble]

What do you think investment buys them?

It's around 35% iirc

[crude vortex]

idts you should expect privacy on discord at all imo

[willow bramble]

https://www.threads.net/@strategyskool/post/DE7DXG7Sm-h

[candid heath]

discord isnt even e2e encryted, all messages are stored in plain text (even dms)

[hybrid echo]

Yk ignore them lmao, they aren't going to agree and this will go one forever

[willow bramble]

Speaking of doomscrolling 😬

[flint condor]

I personally like trustless +18 verification but have reservations about it becoming standard across all platforms inorder to operate under an alias.

[crude vortex]

yes and once you have digital footprint on this platform,there no way to get rid of it lmfao

[willow bramble]

Tbh, marvel snap going offline in the US was a surprise

[candid heath]

theyre an american comapny based in san fransico, the chances they are siphoning data off to the communists are little to none

[flint condor]

Discord already has access to your phone number and logs.

[hybrid echo]

Anything can get banned now days ig

[willow bramble]

The publisher was owned by bytedance

[flint condor]

Unless I have read their privacy policy entirely, I don't have an opinion on the information the platform collects on me.

[winged spire]

yes

[crude vortex]

they banned fucking pubg mobile in my country lmfao

[willow bramble]

Unknown that it's bytedance wide ban or bytedance are pulling out

[candid heath]

where are you from

[crude vortex]

india.

[hybrid echo]

Kinda sucks how literally most insignificant things they ban Instade of doing actual stuff to help the economy and stuff

[winged spire]

do you think they choose "ban tiktok" instead of the "fix economy" button?

tahts not how it works loll

[crude vortex]

to be honest,no country stands a chance to be independent of china.

[willow bramble]

More of where are they spending the effort

[hybrid echo]

Totally got my point wrong but eh

[winged spire]

its not a zero sum game lol

[grim belfry]

Well duh, the service literally wouldn't function if Discord didn't store chats...

[candid heath]

"fixing the economy" is easier said then done

[winged spire]

you just fix it bruh thats why theres a 'fix economy" button in the oval office

[quasi belfry]

It doesn’t have my number

[grim belfry]

It has a number

[willow bramble]

I generally think the tiktok ban is worrying not because it's tiktok but how they are going after Chinese owned companies

[winged spire]

not anymore

[willow bramble]

It's not a huge leap that they will go after Chinese invested companies later

[winged spire]

Tesla stopped producing cars using lithium iron phosphate batteries a few months ago

[grim belfry]

Okay?

[hybrid echo]

Not sending billions of dollars outside and help fixing this economy isn't that hard to do tbh

[alpine gale]

Pray that you never have to verify your account lest you be locked out.

[winged spire]

how old are you?

[candid heath]

yeah and the cobalt which they are made form are from slave labour from Democratic Republic of the Congo

[quasi belfry]

That’s exactly the problem

[grim belfry]

I think this conversation is heading the wrong way lol

[quasi belfry]

I’m always logged in on one device

[winged spire]

lithium iron phosphate batteries do not contain cobalt

[crude vortex]

yeah,i kind of started the debate lol mb

[hybrid echo]

Ama be honest idk how this even started lmao

[grim belfry]

Until you get logged out...

[crude vortex]

tiktok :)

[quasi belfry]

I shouldn’t be

[hybrid echo]

Kinda dumb, but ig this is discord soo

[grim belfry]

You will be, eventually

There is also a "log out everywhere else" button

[hybrid echo]

Old enough, thank you very much

[quasi belfry]

If that day comes, not my problem no longer

[hybrid echo]

Anyways

[flint condor]

This isn't a phone verified server? Most the ones I am in are.

[hybrid echo]

This entire convo rlly hurts me brain

[grim belfry]

I believe it is

[candid heath]

new topic?

[hybrid echo]

Yes

Fish

[quasi belfry]

Ok so apparently discord thinks I live in ranked USA (Florida)

[crude vortex]

lets talk about…..RUSSIA😈😈😈

[hybrid echo]

Also why the hell you're asking me that

[quasi belfry]

Why would it be

[quasi belfry]

Lmao

[candid heath]

that caught me of guard lol

[candid heath]

bit late to the convo

[quasi belfry]

You seem young

[foggy ledge]

Yeah i am

[winged spire]

very

[flint condor]

Then unless I have read the privacy policy and extent of how my phone number is used, I can't really speculate. I assume in terms of moderation and law enforcement, there are thresholds in place on how your data is shared

[foggy ledge]

Yeah i am

[grim belfry]

What are you on about

[crude vortex]

google uses your data,doesnt matter whatever their EULA says

[hybrid echo]

Just don't

[hybrid echo]

Rlly hate that tbh

[candid heath]

if they are sharing your data with tencent and the ccp, then i doubt they will be telling everyone about it in the privacy policy

[flint condor]

That could impact the value of their own investment.

[crude vortex]

doesnt matter cause bribery exist.

this honey scam emerges out,people are suing them

[candid heath]

yeah im surprised honey has lasted this long without being exposed

[crude vortex]

but im sure their lawyers are good enough that half of it would just grt dismissed

[hybrid echo]

What do you define as young ?

[quasi belfry]

Under 16

[hybrid echo]

Nah

[quasi belfry]

Child is under age

[hybrid echo]

Up

[crude vortex]

93

wild guess dont mind

[hybrid echo]

Very accurate lmao

All of what I said is just a extremely toned down ideas of what the US gov could do

Idk why he was all mad lmao

[quasi belfry]

X

[flint condor]

If KYC laws are going to be strengthened for platform access then so should the proof. I'm more concerned with impersonation than people knowing me.

[hybrid echo]

X?

[manic torrent]

Under 25

[quasi belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[flint condor]

If unreversable hash identity verification is shared with 3rd parties we should be able to request what information was collected and who it was shared with and also the ability to remove it.

That's where this is all going, so the fight should be about transparency. In the EU they have a digital ID system. If you use any form of business applications like ADP, things like fingerprints and location information are standard practice.

[hybrid echo]

Understandable

[flint condor]

There are a lot more capable corperations with your data you should be concerned about than a minority stake in a optional social platform.

[hybrid echo]

Yeah

That entire convo was pointless tbh

But this happens daily so nothing new lmao

[flint condor]

It bothers me but it isn't really the place to talk about issues that matter like having to install an app to get through customs.

[hybrid echo]

Yeah

[grim belfry]

What are you on about bud

[flint condor]

It is however something people can endlessly mald over.

[hybrid echo]

Me?

[grim belfry]

No Cob

[flint condor]

Nothing of interest.

How's your Sunday morning?

[grim belfry]

How’s your Sunday evening?

[manic torrent]

I fixed a shelf and cut a hole, I'm finally actually cleaning up my fucking garage lab space

[winged spire]

Rip lol

Only one failed which is good

[hybrid echo]

What's dat

[winged spire]

Print

[hybrid echo]

I meant what are you trying to make

[winged spire]

Secret

[hybrid echo]

Not anymore

[flint condor]

Alright, questioning my decision to poke around I'm just extraordinary bored and looking for inspiration.

[winged spire]

I can’t use my bulbasaur plate on these

[hybrid echo]

I could see you do treasure Bulbasaur I see

[grim belfry]

Go outside

Plenty of inspiration out there

[hybrid echo]

Tbh it rlly depends

In this time of year

No, well it least for me

[flint condor]

There isn't much near me to explore.

[grim belfry]

Yes there is.

[willow bramble]

That's when I start shopping

Looking back at the arduboy

Tried to charge my one for the first time for years. Battery ballooned 😭

[flint condor]

I got a 50$ amazon gift card for Christmas.

[viscid elm]

Nice

[flint condor]

There's nothing I really want though.

[hybrid echo]

U can donate it for charity 👍

[willow bramble]

Are you a developer?

Or like retro stuff?

[flint condor]

Yeah I could exchange for work or assets I don't like actually using money.

[alpine gale]

Hold onto it until there's a) something you need or b) something you want that's on sale.

[flint condor]

I need a new usb hub.

[willow bramble]

https://www.arduboy.com/

[flint condor]

Neat but I have ripped some of the ports out of my USB hub by accident.

[willow bramble]

Oooof

[flint condor]

Yeah and I'm very dissapointed with what I thought was a full specification USB 4 hub.

So I might just get a very "dumb" hub.

[willow bramble]

Or books? I always keep a list of books to get when I'm feeling like buying stuff

[flint condor]

I was hoping this USB4 hub would be able to utilize the speed of my thunderbolt card

[grim belfry]

All bus powered hubs are crap :)

[flint condor]

I also bought a 100w type C I forget the advertised data transfer specs.

Broken within a month.

I am about to resort to just USB 3.2 and OCuLink. I saw the specifications for built in thunderbolt 5 in 800 series motherboards and wasn't satisfied that the x4 lane is bifurcated x2x2 with the ax211 onboard wifi.

Sorry if that was a very specific dig

The full specification on pcie 5 is on point though for Gen 5 SSD's and devices.

I'm just going to stick to Z790 for now.

[manic torrent]

pcie5 is pointless in desktops for everything except chipset.

(and even then isn't a big deal for almost anyone almost all of the time)

[flint condor]

I don't like the latency of chipset lanes. I'm the type of person who thinks $2000 CAD for striped 905p's sounds like a good idea.

[manic torrent]

You are free to do whatever you want, but that isn't something that actually matters

[flint condor]

The T705's on 8th gen motherboards are parity for all intents and purposes regarding latency but durability is questionable, we will see.

[manic torrent]

If you need that sort of throughput or have things that are that latency sensitive, you're in a super niche situation and probably should be using HEDT or server infrastructure

[flint condor]

I have my home network at 2.4gb ish but my isp throttles me at 980mbps down.

I would need to upgrade my fiber if I wanted to run a 1U

[viscid elm]

so this how ma main pool is setup

[manic torrent]

... you are conflating network latency with pcie latency.

[alpine gale]

Um. Throttles? Or perhaps you're limited to ~940-980mbps due to a 1 gigabit link limiting your bandwidth?

[viscid elm]

before i do anything with it, does it look good?

[manic torrent]

My home network has a 10gbit backbone, my desktop and server are 10gb

[viscid elm]

i use wifi 🙂

[flint condor]

I'm not in the business of hosting minecraft from a residential IP 😅

[viscid elm]

i also get this

[flint condor]

But primarily I just like that feeling of dragging windows around my desktop.

While using optane.

[manic torrent]

you can self host without it being a residential IP. Cloudflare exists (as do others, but cloudflare makes it trivial)

[quasi belfry]

The Intel thing?

[flint condor]

Old but in very specific applications useful.

[quasi belfry]

Is that a yes?

[flint condor]

I don't reccomend it over T705's though.

[viscid elm]

god damit i need to lease some more domains

do you even need those speeds?

[flint condor]

Who doesn't like that 34ns Aida latency.

I don't have it but that would be my goal in a future build.

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/war-thunder-meme-spin-tank-gif-4023090852990224147

[flint condor]

That's more to do with ram and cpu stuff but it is all part of the no compromise experience I'm after.

Within reason like I went 4080s with T700 and got 900p for OS + L4 cache type thing on z790.

Saved a few grand.

[viscid elm]

4080 super is not a 4090

[flint condor]

It also saved me a lot of money.

[viscid elm]

you know what no comprimise means

[flint condor]

$999 msrp well the proart was a little over but I liked it over 3kg of tuf heatsink.

[viscid elm]

so why not go for the 7900 xtx

[flint condor]

I needed more than 3D rasterization performance.

Also I am better with editing Nvidia drivers.

[viscid elm]

So you require cuda

Also why would you edit the drivers

[flint condor]

Yes. It wasn't really about personal preference or performance it was more like ....

[flint condor]

https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

It gives more options than the user control panel.

[viscid elm]

for what?

[wind holly]

made it

Hi guys I'm new

just got banned from jiga tech server because they thought I'm underage

Finally can talk now

[flint condor]

There's a lot that would be difficult to explain in terms of shader coding and computer graphics. I think it doesn't provide average users much value than to use the standard control panel.

[fresh fiber]

Chicken.

[viscid elm]

Yeah you are probably going to be banned here too then

[patent violet]

It lets you modify the more specific settings in relation to the rendering. You can also force an Open GL version, You can also force preferred FPS, Force the type of sampling the Antialiasing does, etc etc

on a per game basis

[viscid elm]

Sounds like some of the stuff adrenalin can do

[patent violet]

these "presets" are usually specific for the game and have detailed testing behind it

no its actually all just the rendering/3d controls

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/refs/heads/master/nspector/CustomSettingNames.xml
Theres the XML with the full list of settings in it (I think its all of them, didnt really look again)

<UserfriendlyName>Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames</UserfriendlyName>

Yeah thats not really something you see

it should be noted that some of these settings are "assumed" to do what they say on their label. Not all of this came from offical sources

mainly the "Optimizations"

[flint condor]

Real profiling tools are very difficult to explain.

I can't really explain to someone how to use a profiler.

In a development situation on their own indie project.

It's going to be interesting to see how the 5090 is reviewed.

I have to hand it to nvidia here they somehow got more than 20k cuda on a single die in under 550w in a 2 slot package under at $1999 msrp.

I'm going to call it right now good luck finding supply.

Well this isnt a profiling tool its a tool to modify specific game display driver config profiles. Profiles as in Template-derived options. Profiling tools are debug and monitoring toolsets intended to capture, sort, and display metrics

[flint condor]

Yes and sometimes that means changing the drivers presets and reprofiling

[patent violet]

Profiling tools are also pretty easy to explain:

They monitor specific functions and activity of processes/hardware, capture the results and the metadata like how much cpu increase did this cause (WPA will even tell you how much it increased the fan speed), classify it, and display it in a way you can slice through it easily for analysis.

Task Manager is actually exactly this

[manic torrent]

interpreting the results can often be hard, but the concept is pretty simple really

[flint condor]

I prefer using task manager for everything

[manic torrent]

[flint condor]

It means to me that everything is probably going okay

[patent violet]

Thats some ACPI Fuckery right there if ive ever seen it

the fact they got windows to go along with it without complaining is the impressive part

[manic torrent]

They injected it into task manager 😄

https://github.com/turtiustrek/taskmanager

[patent violet]

awh thats no fun

way less impressive

[flint condor]

The best thing about task manager is you can try out different affinity combinations too. Also monitoring memory usage.

[nova sky]

hi!

[flint condor]

Or just looking at all the core graphs page and have a pretty good idea where to look.

I'd stay away from regedits

[pale folio]

I'll be happy as long as it gets training down for small models to be quick as fuck

[flint condor]

Playing jenga with your OS isn't a good idea

[pale folio]

Imagine being able to fully training and run the models for a variety of papers before you've even fully read them all in a at home desktop

[flint condor]

Feeding models all day sounds like a lot of work.

The leasing on them would likely pay itself off. Whatever you want to do with it. Playing videogames and making space debris in unity is my preferred thing.

[zenith marten]

Installed Debian for the first time on an old system, now I have even more urge to switch to Linux on my main PC.

If only there was a stable way to run F360 on Linux

[mint sandal]

🤤

[zenith marten]

Bro is tryna save the pixels for himself

[flint condor]

You can use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and create a partition for whichever distribution you want to try.

[south skiff]

has anyone here made github repositries

[zenith marten]

Ikik I already have Linux experience from my servers and Dual booting (uninstalled later)

Its just not possible for me to switch over yet bcus Fusion 360

[flint condor]

I usually just test distro's in my subsystem on optane which helps with the latency caused by virtualization.

[zenith marten]

And roblox studio (I gamedev on there)

[flint condor]

I just don't know if that quirk was known.

You can run terminal next to command prompt even though I prefer powershell, I feel like they both are there and the virtualization barely impacts performance. I haven't found the layer much of an issue or I'd do the reverse via proxmox

You don't really have to compromise, just storage space.

[crisp notch]

i am also a "professional" game dev on roblox 😎 (i can't code for shit)

[flint condor]

I'm going to load in the new steamOS into my Linux Subsystem eventually and do some "performance testing".

But right now things just have to work

If that's the sort of thing you want to do, it is an option I haven't tested the performance myself doing it this way.

[hard oriole]

no wonder ive been experiencing jaw pain

[flint condor]

I'd imagine it would be something that would make using the WSL envirnment more approachable.

[hard oriole]

i got a wisdom tooth tryna push out all the rest of my teeth on the bottom side

been killing me recently

i cant get over that xray until i see how i heal after they come out

it just seems so clear the issue, looking at it

[flint condor]

I got out all 4, one has a piece of my jaw bone on it. I kept mine.

[hard oriole]

i want mine lmao

and all 4 are the plan for me

[flint condor]

It's not that bad like it has to be done. 🤷‍♂️

[blazing lily]

i had same on all four, getting those SHITS out feels so good

i had all four out in one op, 2 nights at hospital

[mint sandal]

Yay me for finding amazing car

[hard oriole]

i only recently realized how i actually always rub them on my gums when clearing out my throat and spitting out my car window-

[blazing lily]

bro they make your entire mouth suck, they just keep applying huge pressure to all your teeth

[mint sandal]

I found a legitimate track car

[hard oriole]

i suspect its why one of my canines is crooked

[mint sandal]

Rare af too

[blazing lily]

ya they do that it sucks. GL with the op getting them out, I did all 4 at once and it sucks for like 3 weeks but worth. mash potato mixed with stuff for food 😄

[flint condor]

It sucks but time off is always good.

[mint sandal]

Was actually in gran turismo 4

[hard oriole]

i vape so thats gonna be my mountain to climb

prepping to swap to zyns and edibles lmao

[blazing lily]

lmao

[mint sandal]

Drugs here

[blazing lily]

theres no sugar coating it, it SUCKKKS recovering from it

[mint sandal]

Gotta love having to take pain meds

[hard oriole]

i have half a mind to get a motor to pump the vapes for me-

[mint sandal]

Gabapentin is one I've gotta take

[hard oriole]

hot knife my weed to inhale instead of suck deep from a vape-

lmao

[mint sandal]

Got hit by a drunk driver and got fucked up

[hard oriole]

i was so close to a pileup this week its not even funny

i escaped to the lane over and heard a crash

[mint sandal]

Oh that was the second time I got hit in the previous year

[hard oriole]

its been a few years for me

i was in an at fault crash once and it was in a merge lane where the trash company truck left cause they caused but werent directly involved

they pushed me into another car where i could have maybe made another escape route and i paid for that

they were trying to get into a lane that had in a short period an on ramp, merge lane, and off ramp all in the right most lane in like 1/4 of a mile

[quick pelican]

quick question, is there anyone that knows how to program the STM32 Microcontroller? I have a task to finish due today midnight. I have to controll the 7x10Y Click board with the STM32 using SPI but I just can't bring the display to show any numbers. My atempt was to make an array containing the column values, then send the values with the HAL_SPI_Transmit() function where digits[digit][row] was the data to send. with everything applied the function looks like this:

HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi3, digits[digit][row], 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY)

to go through the rows and digits I simply used a for loop.

For testing purposes I made an array with two digits:

uint16_t digits[2][7] = {
        {0x7000, 0x8800, 0x9800, 0xA800, 0xC800, 0x8800, 0x7000},
        {0x2000, 0x6000, 0xA000, 0x2000, 0x2000, 0x2000, 0xF800}
};

In addition: The rows are controlled with a different clock that triggers a timer IC which increments and therefore activates the next row.

hi

[last basalt]

Chat, i think i forgor 💭 how to unforgor?

[flint condor]

That's a very specific microcontroller, did it come with instructions?

It looks Ti based.

[pseudo sand]

I am hungry

[flint condor]

uint16_t digits[2][7] = {
{0x7000, 0x8800, 0x9800, 0xA800, 0xC800, 0x8800, 0x7000},
{0x2000, 0x6000, 0xA000, 0x2000, 0x2000, 0x2000, 0xF800}
};

for (uint8_t row = 0; row < 7; row++) {
uint8_t lowerByte = digits[digit][row] & 0xFF;
lowerByte <<= 1;
HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi3, &lowerByte, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);

uint8_t upperByte = (digits[digit][row] >> 8) & 0xFF;
upperByte <<= 1;
HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi3, &upperByte, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);

}

I'm not sure on this device but if it takes the c and initializes correctly, I'll be surprised.

[uneven stirrup]

LMAO questions for the 5090 on best buy

[flint condor]

I think I'm getting a fever. Later 🍃

[covert cradle]

HAL_SPI_Transmit takes a pointer to the word to send not the word itself. i.e. HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi3, &digits[digit][row], 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY). You also need to make sure you've initialized hspi3 with SPI_DATASIZE_16BIT.

I recommend -Wall -Werror in your compiler options. That should be sufficient to catch such an error

[junior bison]

Bros trying to sell this as a case

[full fossil]

hello

[crude vortex]

i would buy this honestly

[junior bison]

I am just wondering how much airflow this is

Honestly it's not a bad price

[crude vortex]

how much

[junior bison]

$70

It could be worse

[wispy marsh]

GN did a video on this case

[crude vortex]

oh

[wispy marsh]

If I'm not wrong, the front panel is an extension of the custom motherboard that Dell manufactures

[crude vortex]

dont worry about airflow,we drillin holes w this one ☝️

[wispy marsh]

Without that motherboard, the front panel would be missing

... or am I thinking of another Dell system?

[crude vortex]

isnt it too thick for a motherboard though?

[junior bison]

Depending on what gpu it would be hell

[crude vortex]

could be

looks nice i mean

[junior bison]

I think you are correct

[wispy marsh]

This is hilarious

Sorry, but I think that case's front panel would not work without the motherboard

The most efficient way is to get adapters that goes for the motherboard header to the front panel ports

The least efficient way is to see if anyone has come up with a pcb/connector design for the R15 alienware series and get it made, or if they already have it made in bulk then it would be fine

[junior bison]

I just saw the case on market place and decided to talk about it

I personally do not like alien cases

[wispy marsh]

The internals of the case is standard 2000s era pc case manufacturing

It feels like that to me

[junior bison]

I wish one day razer would make their own cases and just have a competition with alien

[junior bison]

True

[harsh quartz]

why?

[weak sonnet]

they do have cases

[devout pasture]

Hello

[obsidian oracle]

hi

[azure vault]

A computer with AMD GPU and Intel cpu

Think about it

[snow crag]

Thinking about getting a new cpu in a few months, would a Ryzen 7 5700x for 100-110usd be a big upgrade from a r5 3400g?

Since I'm getting a 3060 this week
