[rare bridge]

okay so we know it's not that one

[trim valve]

fair, any reason as to why or just sucky?

[rare bridge]

time to try another one

bang

[split steppe]

click "yes" to repair your encrypted filesystem on windows 🙂

[fast pagoda]

the only usb i have that i know for sure what they are at all times are the two with this on them

[kind fable]

[split steppe]

https://tenor.com/vALsYuFC0ws.gif

[olive sable]

so uhm, what is that?

[trim valve]

I cannot for the life of me figure out what that picture is

[fast pagoda]

good

[kind fable]

i have 4 key left

[split steppe]

it's fuckin tails

[olive sable]

it looks like tails

[fast pagoda]

i like this evolbug guy

[split steppe]

i presume, fittingly, it's got tails linux on it

[fast pagoda]

ye

[olive sable]

it took me a while to figure out what i was exactly looking at

[fast pagoda]

and its backup

tails upgrade moment

[split steppe]

i thought it was a weird trumpet at first lol

[kind fable]

i actually have 2 keys one which is standard ubuntu and one which is kali everything
and also one last key which is ventoy and my linux iso collection

[olive sable]

i thought it was some weird plant at first

[kind fable]

those ones i don't need to test

oh

why is my usb port heating

[trim valve]

oooooooooh

[split steppe]

average usb experience

[trim valve]

it is tails

[fast pagoda]

Y'all ever need a label printer this thing goes crazy

[kind fable]

i think in just lost the game

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

i just flashed the os bro, calm down

[fast pagoda]

it's concerned

[rare bridge]

me when i change the domain for a server

[fast pagoda]

there might be a BIG MEANIE around

[olive sable]

BIG MEANIE?

[split steppe]

nice, thanks for reminding me, i wanted to get one at some point

[rare bridge]

big meanie

[olive sable]

the big meanie was the friends we made along the way

[fast pagoda]

it connects over bluetooth to a phone app which is the fastest pairing device ive ever had in my life for some reason

and then you can do whatever with the label

it's great

[trim valve]

I almost impule bought a wire label printer when I was doing some work on wires

[fast pagoda]

that's a good reason to have a wire label printer

super cheap

[fast pagoda]

that's a very good reason to have a wire label printer

[split steppe]

thats a lotta wires

[fast pagoda]

very nice

[minor sail]

got the miku wires

[trim valve]

yeah but its a uni society so I can't really justify the spend

[fast pagoda]

the panel done been patched

[olive sable]

im thinking miku miku o e o

[fast pagoda]

coax?

[trim valve]

its a pain though, took that back panel out because it was really straining the wires

3d-sdi so yeah basically yeah coax

[silent island]

Chatt

[trim valve]

idk who the fuck decided we were gonna use outdoor cable in the patch panel

[fast pagoda]

video production or something

[trim valve]

ye

[fast pagoda]

when did evil get on robot chicken

[split steppe]

someone's missed the big news

[silent island]

Why tf does Pokopia costs 80 bucks in my country, but 70 in the US???
Its no faiirrr

[split steppe]

regional pricing because screw you 🙂

[fast pagoda]

hasn't this been common forever

[split steppe]

also taxes

[nocturne olive]

NSP approved wiring technique

[unkempt citrus]

US doesn't include sales tax

[sage crag]

wrr

https://tenor.com/view/minayoecn-battery-battery-exploding-yass-grenade-battery-gif-gif-23923751

[fast pagoda]

also yeah we go to the register and then it's suddenly 5-10% more

[split steppe]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b367ddZiHa4

excellent video, also he's working on a Neuro one

[fast pagoda]

damn i wish i had talent instead of just jamming adult legos together (computers)

[olive sable]

because nintendo says fuck your country in particualr

[silent island]

Nah, usually switch 1 games costs ~50 bucks in my country, much cheaper than the standard 60

[kind fable]

so i tracked my discord messages and what i'm looking for is on that SSD
the problem is i don't know where it is

[fast pagoda]

pci express

i was looking for one at bestbuy

and ive been to 3

and none have any

because we live in nightmare hell world

cf express i mean

not that thing

i dont have any card expansion

[split steppe]

whatever's on it i don't think it's there anymore buddy

[fast pagoda]

i stole the contents

[kind fable]

what do you mean ?

[fast pagoda]

data integrity failure or something

[split steppe]

that thing looks 20 years old :V

3 Sept. 2009

[kind fable]

nah just trust me

it still work

dammit

[split steppe]

😄

[kind fable]

:cope:

[fast pagoda]

first off i found that same spanish amazon lmfao

[split steppe]

ssds lose information after ~1y offline

[fast pagoda]

and then i found this

this is starting to look reasonable

64 tb

[kind fable]

oh really ?

dam

[split steppe]

yes

[kind fable]

frick

[fast pagoda]

way better than an 8tb nvme drive that's slower

for $3000

[trim valve]

I have these terrible drives somewhere

64GB ssd is kinda evil

[split steppe]

any french speaking here can translate this

incontinent memory tampon

[split steppe]

64gb ssd was lightning fast alien tech 20 years ago

[fast pagoda]

looool

[split steppe]

also more space than you could fill still

it's only today that everything's so bloated we weep when we get 1TB in baseline

[trim valve]

yeah on one hand true

on the other hand I like it when the davinci resolve installer doesn't take up 3% of my disk

[kind fable]

i'm searching so far in my archive

[kind fable]

doesn't contain cache memory incapable of working

[fast pagoda]

This unit fell through out the back of a drawer and was stuck in my desk for 10 years and has a bunch of smart errors but it still had my 15 year old data on it within the last 6 months

[split steppe]

"had the data" is relative, did you verify the contents of everything?

the file index may still be readable, but god knows about the contents

[fast pagoda]

I did yeah cuz I backed it up

With whatever it's called

Dmde

I thought I wasn't going to be able to load anything

[kind fable]

i didn't find my first virus

but i found like my second

[fast pagoda]

Profiling

Dude

That's rude

[kind fable]

i'm happy digging in my archives

lmao it's the most basic forkbomb ever

i was smart alr

[split steppe]

windows is better because the forkbomb is shorter 👌

[kind fable]

also look at the title lmao

Notepad++ in reverse

cause of the [RLO]

[split steppe]

hah unicode

[kind fable]

eh i was young, but not stupid

[split steppe]

i remember when you could screw up a discord server with unicode

[kind fable]

i alr knew advanced tricks

[fast pagoda]

I just disabled any and all protection against forkbombs on my system

[kind fable]

but now i want to find my VBS malware

[fast pagoda]

Literally today

[kind fable]

i know i had smth that was kinda like navi in zelda

[fast pagoda]

Because rocm couldn't pin memory

[kind fable]

it'd just pop windows like hey listen

watch out

[fast pagoda]

Albanian virus

[kind fable]

if anyone want that thing, you can get it on my server, it's 7zipped
https://fs.julienraptor01.ddns.net/secret_tab.game.7z

[split steppe]

no thank you 👍

[fast pagoda]

I try not to keep time bombs ready 2 go all the time

I am too stupid

[kind fable]

it's good troll for friends on windows

[fast pagoda]

I have 1 PC with Windows rn and it's my old laptop

[kind fable]

i remember when we managed as CS students to trick another CS student which was streaming on twitch to run a forkbomb live

it was funni

it was the linux forkbomb

[fast pagoda]

Hey that's the one I just became exceedingly vulnerable to

[split steppe]

i once wrote a forkbomb that filled the windows desktop with randomly named folders. that's when i discovered the explorer and windows shell are one and the same and that pc stopped booting

[fast pagoda]

Last time I had windows I discovered that there are in fact alternate desktop environments/window managers/compositors whatever you want to refer to them as since Windows doesn't really care about the distinction and the default is all of those on its own

[kind fable]

always do

rm --no-preserve-root -fr /

to fully remove the french package even from root

[split steppe]

-fr obviously stands for for real

[kind fable]

and run this cute thing

:(){:|:&};:

[split steppe]

all these cute smilies!

[fast pagoda]

You can see it on the middle pc here

I don't have any other photos of it lmao

And this was when I was about to move

[split steppe]

i thought you live like this

[fast pagoda]

Schizo hovel

No, my current living conditions are much messier

[kind fable]

enhance zoom enlarge

[fast pagoda]

Not my audio device

Noooooo

[split steppe]

slap some DLSS on it

[fast pagoda]

Enhance

[kind fable]

i'd need to have a GPU for that

[fast pagoda]

It'll hallucinate like "BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"

[trim valve]

leaking your mcdonalds monopoly stickers smh

[fast pagoda]

lmao

it was so dog shit this round

they ran out of pieces

[trim valve]

you better have mayfair

[fast pagoda]

'like

month 2

[split steppe]

whose eggs are these

[fast pagoda]

those or cascarones

are*

so, my ex's is whose they are

i think i threw them out

[split steppe]

glitter grenades huh

[fast pagoda]

pretty much, stupid texas thing

you're supposed to break them on someone's head, giving them a concussion

[kind fable]

so i found the backup from when i was daily driving linux

[fast pagoda]

I am sure I'm not the only one with this issue but I leave things in a half put together state because I don't want to clean up when I have something coming in to add to all the shit I have out

[split steppe]

aye same

[fast pagoda]

Reeees

[split steppe]

then i have one big sweep once a month

[fast pagoda]

same

vacuum put everything away think "wow, never letting it get that messy again"

1 week later

nope

[kind fable]

yep indeed the time i was daily-driving linux

that old discord icon

and gimp icon too

[fast pagoda]

my old old laptop

[split steppe]

i have my old rice somewhere i think

[fast pagoda]

old ubiquity installer

wow i have discovered an historical artifact

the reason i hate multiple fruit flavours

is burnett's

cant drink pomegranate

[minor sail]

D: Burnetts

[fast pagoda]

to this day

[minor sail]

struggle vodka

[fast pagoda]

college moment

[split steppe]

some old rice from almost 10 years ago

[kind fable]

i think i just lost my VBS early malware

i'm sad

it was a good part of my history

[fast pagoda]

back then this would've blown my mind

[unkempt citrus]

2B

[split steppe]

michael here

[unkempt citrus]

And shes in a skirt

[split steppe]

love 2b

i have one from a year earlier as well

1s

[unkempt citrus]

I'm considering a nier tattoo personally

[olive sable]

1GB FAT volume

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

i kinda miss the schizo living room

fuckin boxes blocking the windows and shit

[split steppe]

not a year earlier, lost those somewhere, but still nier

[fast pagoda]

testingaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[split steppe]

gotta scream a little sometime yknow

i think i built a metacompiler later that year

[trim valve]

what were you cooking

[olive sable]

im copying the usb stick to the nvme, but apparently its copying every single bit 1 to 1 on the whole 64gb stick instead of only the files

[fast pagoda]

the most unhinged of regular ass environments

[olive sable]

that video appears to be broken

[opaque sigil]

you know you've fucked up when EA out of all companies is more open than you

[split steppe]

im telling yall, Valve will kill windows, you just wait

[olive sable]

only the first second plays for me

[fast pagoda]

yeah i see that in disc now

that's bizarre

[trim valve]

video is fine for me

[olive sable]

weird

[trim valve]

is this a linux webbrowser issue

[olive sable]

it shouldnt be

im not in a webbrowser

[fast pagoda]

disc is a browseer

anyways it is doing it for me too

[olive sable]

oh ye

[fast pagoda]

and i uploaded it

but it plays fine on my pc

i dug it out of gdrive from a million years ago so it's probably just borked

google couldnt play it correctly either

[split steppe]

when your files in the cloud corrupt you realise that indeed, it is just someone else's computer

[trim valve]

it only plays in firefox for me and not discord's desktop app

[olive sable]

24.4MB/s, so ill be waiting here for 40 minutes. fuckin usb2.0 speeds are killing me

[fast pagoda]

there's a reason i am almost to 100tb here

[split steppe]

24,4MB/s is pretty decent

[fast pagoda]

was gonna say

for 2.0

that's goopd

im surprised it's not like

1

if it's a bunch of files

[split steppe]

like all my 2.0 shit was running at like 2MB/s on a good day

[olive sable]

its not random reads, it copying the entire usb as 1 block

[fast pagoda]

i always have to tar w/o compression before i do those xfers on slow drives or i'll go insane

[opaque sigil]

are you using dd

[fast pagoda]

did you yeah image the drive

[olive sable]

yes

[fast pagoda]

[opaque sigil]

now why would you do that

[olive sable]

why not?

sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync

[fast pagoda]

y u no rclone mv

or somethin

[olive sable]

thats not a sentence

what

y u no rclone mv

???

[split steppe]

he enjoys waiting on a bitlevel mirror

[fast pagoda]

i alwasy do the wrong one and forget if rclone is move or mv or if that's rsync

[split steppe]

rclone is rsync that also does cloud n stuff

[fast pagoda]

right

but they have slightly different syntax

and i always forget which one is which

[olive sable]

it probably would have been faster if it only copied the files, but its too late for that now

[split steppe]

i always just did 'rclone source target' same for rsync

with chavzP

[fast pagoda]

at some point i got into the habit of specifying move/mv or copy

[olive sable]

i also need the bootloader and the data in the first few megabytes of the drive to make the nvme bootable, so i think dd is my only option

[split steppe]

copy is default and safer

dont wanna accidentally send your files to the void

[fast pagoda]

i often move with recursively deleting each file after they are xferred

im crazy

[opaque sigil]

crazy is an understatement

[olive sable]

🔺

[opaque sigil]

i keep getting tripped up by rsync behaving differently with trailing slashes vs none

i don't remember if rclone has the same

[olive sable]

this is a triangle

🔺

dear god

[fast pagoda]

nowaying

[olive sable]

there's 125000 per second

no

[opaque sigil]

it's probably fine but you might need/want to at least give it a new uuid

[fast pagoda]

@true hemlock alright that psu from earlier has arrived, time to put your glowing recommendation to the test

[olive sable]

is that necesarry? what does uuid do?

the plan was just to fix the gpt table and expand tha partition

[opaque sigil]

it uniquely identifies the drive

[olive sable]

how does one fix the uuid?

[opaque sigil]

i don't remember but there was a command

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

tune2fs

i think you can do it in like

disks

as wel

gparted or w/e

kde disks i'd imagine too

it depends on the fs

[olive sable]

ill need to changfe it in the armbian config too. it has a little rootdev=UUID=... field

[fast pagoda]

like btrfs it's btrfstune

[opaque sigil]

on a sidenote, in general when you need the path to a drive you absolutely do want to use a label or uuid from /dev/disk/by-<kind>, since they're persistent unlike the /dev/<disk> path

[fast pagoda]

and then your file system becomes sentient

[fast pagoda]

i learned this the hard way after putting ephemeral paths in my fstab and not allowing it to proceed if those paths werent found

many a stuck boot

[opaque sigil]

yeeeeeeeah

[opaque sigil]

sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/nvme0n1 is apparently the command

[trim valve]

I made the mistake of making my nixos grub boot on /dev/nvme0n1 by default

which sounds fine but my system has two nvme drives, one windows and one nixos

[olive sable]

[trim valve]

every rebuild it would change the default boot option

[olive sable]

bruh

[fast pagoda]

bruh actually the worst

windows fucks up the boot order every 2 seconds itself

[opaque sigil]

how even, nixos defaults to using the uuid

[fast pagoda]

'what the fuck was that crazy string, fuck that, it's just /dev/nvme0n1 way easier'

[trim valve]

so you see

[olive sable]

how does a drive even get assigned a unique uuid

[trim valve]

grub doesn't seem to do that

most notably https://mynixos.com/nixpkgs/option/boot.loader.grub.default

[fast pagoda]

just some sort of hash

[trim valve]

if you want to set the default selection in grub, then you need to give it either an index of an exact device name

[opaque sigil]

so you made a new entry and pointed grub to it?

oh right

i remember this now

[trim valve]

lemme double check what I did to fix it

oh I remember now

[fast pagoda]

🥀

[trim valve]

I had to make a manual entry in grub because os prober doesn't seem to have a way to use uuids instead of drive names

[opaque sigil]

[olive sable]

ow

the carpal tunnel is hitting me

[fast pagoda]

yoooo found evidence that my 2007fps were in fact functional at some point

long time ago

[olive sable]

what is a 2007fps?

[fast pagoda]

the monitors on the right and left

of the closer computer

[olive sable]

oh ye

[fast pagoda]

4:3 flatscreens from like 2005

[olive sable]

you mentioned those a couple times before

[fast pagoda]

simpler times

i just put monitors everywhere now

[olive sable]

a monitor with 2007 in the name being released in 2006 is criminal

[fast pagoda]

lol

i think ive had this outrage in the past tbh

man every time i scroll past one of these photos of the living room i cant

[olive sable]

Dell's naming convention at the time typically used the first two digits for the screen size (20 inches) and the last two for the design year (07)

[fast pagoda]

this is how kings felt in the renaissance

[olive sable]

so the 20 is coincidence, the 07 was on purpose

[olive sable]

for someone with the big bass in their car, i dont see a lot of speakers here

[fast pagoda]

my sonos stuff was set up in that room so that's all there was

[olive sable]

oh

[fast pagoda]

i use headphones like crazy

[olive sable]

i mean, its probably fine but a soundbar just doesn't look like it would sound that great

[fast pagoda]

it's sonos so it's kinda like an apple product but a speaker tbh

that soundbar was $500

[minor sail]

sonos was $$$ back in the day, my old office had some sonos speakers we could use

[fast pagoda]

most of my audio is through headphones now so i dont freak people out

well, this freaks them out

but less obvious

[leaden crest]

what the helly

[minor sail]

wat

[fast pagoda]

i have this thing where i cant not buy headphones

[minor sail]

that's a problem my man

[fast pagoda]

i showed this to my 2 irl friends since hs and the immediate response was "yea you're autistic man"

[minor sail]

lol

[fast pagoda]

i fall into routine of things i enjoy doing and then instead of changing it up i just take them to the absolute extreme within my ability

in many cases that ends up being just buying a fuckton of the same thing

i accidentally bought the kz pr2 and kz duonic twice like 2 weeks apart

so when my parents visited they became the proud owners of one random pair of iems each

as a souvenir

and when the world ends, i will be rich as the man in control of the world's supply of headphone cables

[trim valve]

rip my old moondrop chu 2's

[fast pagoda]

i havent had a chance to grab those yet

[trim valve]

they were actually kinda nice when they weren't gaslighting me into thinking I was losing my hearing

[fast pagoda]

i have aria 2s and like 5 pairs of space travel/space travel 2

[trim valve]

I kinda want to get some real headphones at some point

i have some sennheiser cx-80s that i've been using since the chus died

[minor sail]

what constitutes as real headphones

[fast pagoda]

i wish having this thing open like this wasnt an invitation for my cat to ruin it cuz i like the crazy cable look

[fast pagoda]

idk i guess like $500+, something you'd want to use dedicated amp/dac for more than just a little

[minor sail]

I use an old sony wh-1000xm2

ah

[trim valve]

honestly just not these

[fast pagoda]

the wh1000xmX are real;ly not bad

[trim valve]

I basically don't want to have the choice of either:

• listen to music on my phone on my desk, and have it sound good
• be considerate and use headphones but have it sound mediocre

[minor sail]

best like 2-300 bux I spent on headphones

[fast pagoda]

you need DAP

or at least a portable dac/amp

[trim valve]

my current audio setup is using my blue yeti mini with my headphones plugged in, is that good enough

[minor sail]

I used to have the fuckin basshunter sennheisers...

[fast pagoda]

if they're iems, probably more than fine unless they have some sort of crazy resistance value or power sens

[trim valve]

they are perhaps the most standard earbuds money can buy

[fast pagoda]

These 2 were my first amp/dac and the dac is portable if u want, there's a lot of stuff that'll do similar and have more than enough oomph

[trim valve]

idk I don't listen to stuff loud

[fast pagoda]

yeah you wouldnt really have an issue unless theyre hard to drive

[trim valve]

but also I know nothing about audio beyond the level of "you buy some earbuds from the store and they work"

[fast pagoda]

like some of my headphones are planar magnetic drivers and they are much harder to drive than a BA/DD type headphone

so for those i need moar powor

[trim valve]

its mighty tempting to get some over ear headphones at some point

[fast pagoda]

my first pair of actual headphones were over//on ear

[minor sail]

over ear is best

[fast pagoda]

they werent that huge for the cubs but they went over my ears cuz i was in high school

og atx m50s

[trim valve]

I think I had these?

they were nice but the leather got destroyed

[fast pagoda]

it'll do that

[trim valve]

thats my main memory of the issue with over ears for me

[fast pagoda]

ive had like 4 pairs of m50 over the years and they all disintegrate eventually

Cups are semi ok on this but

[minor sail]

yeah, that happens

[fast pagoda]

i would probably get over-ear planars

if i get another large pair

[amber fractal]

I'm through two pairs of headphones in probably 4ish years. I still almost constantly have headphones on.

[fast pagoda]

or somethign stupid like some focal shit for 24 trillion dollars

the m50s are at least 10-15 years old i think

in my pic

dunno which pair it is

they are NOT the S version and that came out a looong time ago

[amber fractal]

my issue is that I still prefer wireless, though I've been using a wired one lately because idk

[fast pagoda]

you can make any headphone wireless

[minor sail]

wat

[amber fractal]

True

[minor sail]

what is this witchcraft you speak of

[amber fractal]

bluetooth aux box

[minor sail]

that's a thing?

[amber fractal]

I have one here

[minor sail]

well, I guess I'm not with the times

[fast pagoda]

yhes but it's only kinda what im talking abour

headphoens,

wired

behold

[amber fractal]

I've not seen earbuds in that style for so long now

[olive sable]

the stuff all the electronix in the stem now

[olive sable]

or in the round part

[fast pagoda]

yeah these are larger for battery mainly

and also the headphones themselves already go around your ear with the hooks

[olive sable]

the only earbuds in that style i've seen recently are my grandpa's bluetooth hearing aids

[amber fractal]

Issue with that for me, I actually prefer over ear compared to earbuds even as a daily.

[olive sable]

ye

[amber fractal]

High end stuff is not known for it's durability

[fast pagoda]

Pretty much all my iem are ear hook style

[olive sable]

i recently upgraded from sony wh-ch720n to wh-1000xm5.

and they'r ebetter

but the band hurts over time

[fast pagoda]

they are great i agree

i got my ex those for christmas last year and they were many dollars

that was a waste haha

[olive sable]

mine were 200 bucks, they were cheaper than the mx4 for some reason

the mx4 was 223

[amber fractal]

My wireless pairs are of some trucker branded headphones

[fast pagoda]

you live in some sort of price vortex over there sam

although they are fairly cheaper now looking them up again

damn

[amber fractal]

my wired pair is some random pair I got for free

[fast pagoda]

they were a crisp $400

[olive sable]

the belgian economy is a strange entity

the mx6 are 350, which is their flagship rn

keep in mind thats in euro

[fast pagoda]

OHHHHHHHHH

im fucking stupid

the xm6 are what i got her

[amber fractal]

I at least get to still use my wired ones all the time because I still have a headphone jack

[fast pagoda]

i was under the impression the xm5 were the current ones

forgot

but they are 2023 wow

flime ties

[olive sable]

i also have a headphone jjack, i just dont use it

weird thing about these headphones, but i dont actually mind it.
it can connect to 2 devices at the same time, so its connected to my pc and to my phone

[unkempt citrus]

my headphones for some reason the noise cancelling only works on bt

not wired

[amber fractal]

I'd probably use the LG phone mabe as that thing has a cult following for it's audio quality

[unkempt citrus]

i like wired more tho

[fast pagoda]

QU A D DD AC

[olive sable]

im guessing cuz wired pipes the aux directly to the speakers, skipping all the electronics

[minor sail]

a relic

a phone with a 3.55m jack

[amber fractal]

I knew someone would comment on it

[fast pagoda]

lg still has them or had them

for a while

[amber fractal]

I want to say most gaming phones still have them

[minor sail]

"Gaming phones"

is that a real, honest, thing?

[fast pagoda]

the "argument" against the jack was - waterproofing & thinness

[amber fractal]

Jokes on you, it's my daily driver

[minor sail]

pro gamer got the gamer phone setup

[fast pagoda]

(and saving cost)

[olive sable]

whats the difference between 3.5mm and 3.55mm jack?

[fast pagoda]

\

3.55 isnt real

[amber fractal]

I don't really use it as such, I just like the feature set of it and reusing some of the gaming features

[minor sail]

looks like its just 3.5

[fast pagoda]

there are other sizes though

[olive sable]

i see

[fast pagoda]

once you get up in the range you might run into what's called balanced output

they use a different connector

[amber fractal]

those air triggers are macros for discord and firefox. I don't think I'll ever be able to unlearn that

[fast pagoda]

4.4mm

also XLR

2.5mm is a thing too

it's just a signal processing thing

3.5mm is only 1 end, the left/right signal go out and come back on a shared ground

4.4mm which is also called TRRS

has each channel on its own signal and it also has its own ground

and then another shield/ground

no sharing

[amber fractal]

second charger is also nice, because my last daily died due to port no longer working

[fast pagoda]

3.5 since theyre both going into the same ground, you get crosstalk

there's a bit of exchange between the left/right returns

you lose separation audibly

since balanced they have separate grounds, you dont get that

balanced also can do it wehere the hot & cold are inverse signals

to each other

and the amp sums those

that allows you to identify whatever noise was picked up as it came along the cable

and eliminate it

cancels it out

mostly though balanced because they have 2 dedicated channels that are fully separated, it is a bit surprising depending on the headphone

also the other thing is though that to get actual balanced output and have it be supported thru the entire journey you have to spend a thiccc amount of money comparatively

the topologies of those amps are more complex, the components are higher power with more voltage etc which is also responsible for a lot of the improvement

I think this box is supposed to be for like children's bead arts and crafts

[fast pagoda]

It has such a concise and well planned name tho

and it was a robot in disguise

@amber fractal is the only other member of the random lg dual screen action that i know of

at least i think it was him

[amber fractal]

rui tachibana my beloved

being a domestic girlfriend (the manga/anime to be clear) apologist has to be my most controversial take all time

[olive sable]

[opaque sigil]

imagine losing to a vegetable

[olive sable]

nah

thats messed up

[opaque sigil]

the second half of her first name translates to vegetables btw which makes it even funnier

[olive sable]

i got it reccomended to me by a friend

i clicked play on the first episode

i saw the first 20 seconds

i closed the tab

[opaque sigil]

the manga is a fun read once you get into it

[olive sable]

i think its jsut a bit too for my liking

[opaque sigil]

I think i ended up reading almost all of it in one sitting, idk what that says about me

[olive sable]

[opaque sigil]

[olive sable]

what?

crack girl?

Misaki Ogura?

[opaque sigil]

ye

[olive sable]

i started reading the fairytail manga, cuz i bought 26 out 36 of the chapters

autocorrect cuz i type 256 a lot i guess

[unkempt citrus]

Fairy tail is fun

Not great especially towards the end but fun

Really falls off after tower of heaven imo

Though 100 year quest does recapture some of it

[unkempt citrus]

That spine art is sick tho

[olive sable]

ye

its the french version

[minor sail]

that's how small the steins gate manga is?

[olive sable]

i think there's also an italian version with that spine art

[olive sable]

well

so

it depends on the version

[minor sail]

okay

[olive sable]

but generally, ye kinda

steins gate is a visual novel originally

[minor sail]

Ahhhh, that makes more sense

[olive sable]

it jsut follows the true ending

steins;gat 0 also has a manga

thats in 3 volumes iirc

[olive sable]

most people prefer "the complete manga" version because of better translation and such

parity with the anime too

i have the soft cover version tho

[leaden crest]

how does one read with this setup 😭 😭 😭

[olive sable]

wdym? i get and open the book

[leaden crest]

relocate an entire family of four every time you need a new book

[olive sable]

its one lego car

not a big deal

im lacking in space in my room

[fast pagoda]

yjsy

that's why i am apologist

ive never been more fuckin mad

at a story

i angrily read from like america arc with that blonde douche thru the end in like a day

out of rage

im glad he's still got it

and i think he was trying to echo the answer

lol

[fast pagoda]

does that bugatti hit 88 mph

[olive sable]

if you throw it hard enough, sure

[fast pagoda]

nice

[olive sable]

put it in a car going 88mph

[trim valve]

hard to find the brain cell

[leaden crest]

are those multiple messages or one long message

[glad path]

i read that as "teaching my domestic girlfriend to be a chair has got to be my most controversial task of all time"

[rancid ore]

did the fly have to die to be scanned?

[olive sable]

i may have also bricked the SPI flash

im doing a full reset of the pi with maskrom mode

im hoping i will stop breaking things

[silent cloak]

straight up put him in the matrix

fly is gonna experience SAO before we do

[olive sable]

nah

dont lobotomize the fly like in SAO alicization

😭

he added newlines

[leaden crest]

thats crazy

[fast pagoda]

that one is a tough one

[leaden crest]

teach him to use

and
-# subtext
so it echoes more 🙏

[fast pagoda]

he does poorly with rigidity

[olive sable]

i need to rewatch SAO

[fast pagoda]

he would probably be better at making jokes about his name if he remembered it more

does it work now

if not im thinking port changed because i didnt set static or something

oops

lol

not the channel

[olive sable]

i think i fixed it

most of the websites where the download for the bootloader is supposed to be had 404

but i found a working one

[naive burrow]

bro 😭

[leaden crest]

did you make him from scratch or something

[fast pagoda]

started from gemma3 27b for this model

the client and stuff was me

the model is a small-ish lora at this moment

adapter on top of the base merged in

this checkpoint got 14.5million additional examples and was a training on about 1~ something % of his weights

so really not that far seemingly from gemma3 but he has no system prompt at all or anything atm

just acts like this

those examples were messages of mine

so i guess exposure to that much of my drivel just makes you into an idiot

[patent shard]

frame= 2747 fps=7.3 q=58.0 size= 2560KiB time=00:01:31.53 bitrate= 229.1kbits/s dup=0 drop=3061 speed=0.243x elapsed=0:06:16.93 why am I using preset 2 for my stupid under 10mb neuro karaoke stuff
I think there's VERY significant diminishing returns below preset 4 or 3... and it takes 20 minutes for a relatively low resolution 30 fps encode of a karaoke song at preset 2 >.>

[fast pagoda]

1/4th speed kekw

[patent shard]

and it's only encoding at 960x458...
cropped the top and bottom black bars

[fast pagoda]

is it on cpu or something

or like nven but u dont have hw support

nvenc

[patent shard]

yeah
hardware encoding sucks

x264 beats hardware encoding AV1 in some cases
even targetting low to medium quality

[fast pagoda]

hey go off king i wont fault it i barely reencode anything

i just add more storage

[patent shard]

#neurotic-neurons message speaking of strange resolutions, I accidently encoded this at 854x682, lmao
I mean, it worked

[fast pagoda]

KARMA KARMA KARMA KARMA KARMA KARMA CHAMELEONNNNNNNNNN

[leaden crest]

you collected the data from your messages?

how did you scrape it all

[fast pagoda]

oh and i said atm for the examples because he has a sort of inner echo guy that doesnt talk to him or anyone but as messages are sent back and forth they get added to a db which the internal reviewer goblin compares to a desired/ideal style guide i gave it, so it categorizes them and saves them in buckets of perceived quality and a few other criteria

for more data

[leaden crest]

sorry if im annoying my AI has been acting up with lora and im trying everything I can

[fast pagoda]

you can export your messages from disc themselves, they send it to you

[leaden crest]

they send it?

[fast pagoda]

yep

[leaden crest]

whoa wtf

thats crazy it’s not just government spyware

🙏

ty

[fast pagoda]

no problem, yeah they will send you a zip folder with every channel id you've been sending stuff in including dms, and in there will be a .json with teh channel identifying info, and then you will also have a messages.json in there with all your messages sent and some metadata

if there's attachments, timestamps etc etc

[patent shard]

I also use the 320kbps mp3 audio for karaoke posts, no one besides me probably does that
but the stream audio isn't very good, tbh

[fast pagoda]

i use the ones from thne gdrive

if i ever listen to and by extension post them anywhere

[patent shard]

for video posting?

[fast pagoda]

on the exceptionally rare occasion i would share a karaoke video yea

i can;t stand shitty audio

unless it's shitty on purpose i gues

[patent shard]

#neurotic-neurons message like this one is the 320kbps mp3 recompressed to 128kbps apple aac (probably should of tried for 144kbps, oh well)
oh, okay
so I'm not the only one

[fast pagoda]

i dont mind aac or ogg at like 160(ogg)/192(AAC) but i cant bring myself to go that far down in bitrate usually even tho it's fine

just reminds me too much of limewire and downloading 90-128k mp3s and them sounding like ass

this particular issue results in all my music being saved in .wav if possible which is so expensive

track aint 30mb+ i'm like "hmmm it might be shit tho"

[patent shard]

I only have 10mb for the video and audio combined 😔
also, 144kbps apple aac is pretty good, 128kbps is still "decent" with maybe some artifacts really becoming noticeable.. but still not bad by any means
I could also use Opus, it can sometimes be slightly more efficient.. but it's not as crazy as a LOT of people make it out to be... maybe 5 to 10% depending on the song
some songs even worse, piano is horrible... worse than mp3

[fast pagoda]

opus is definitely what i would use if i suddenly had put all my collection under 100 kbps no exceptions

[patent shard]

very different artifacts between opus and apple aac, though

I can't stand the noise opus creates
I mean, at 128kbps it's fine

the people that say 96kbps sounds transparent... HOW?

[fast pagoda]

they all sound horrible under that but to mei it's the lesser evil

yeah i cant believe people who say that

the info literally just isn't there

it's filled with slop

i cant grasp how people cannot hear the "pixellation" (what i refer to it as in my head lol) of low bitrate

i cannot stand it

the aliasing i guess idk

[patent shard]

well, apple aac doesn't create nearly as much noise as opus
it's an opus thing for sure...
but apple aac does butcher the good frequencies more

[fast pagoda]

the info has to go from somewhere

yheah

[glad path]

so

i was tryna figure out whats in the home directory of my acc on the nas i found

i ssh'd in

ran ls

nothing

ran it again

nothing

got confused

"is this workign"

echo e

e

"so it's working"

ran ls a third time

nothing again lol

realized there might be nothing

ls -a

. and ..

curious

cd ..

ls

no permission haha

realizing i dont know my home dir's name

.-.

you can just cd with no args tho

[midnight sigil]

[kind nimbus]

just do cd to change to your home-dir. Or do cd ~ or cd $HOME.
Check your env var content via echo $HOME lol.

[midnight sigil]

reinstall your NAS in Arch would do the job

[kind nimbus]

or NixOS

[glad path]

yeah

[glad path]

i dont want to

[kind nimbus]

TrueNAS Scale ftw

[glad path]

i dont want to mess with it a lot

theres still 2tb of data on there which I want to look at

[fast pagoda]

i'd just sudo updatedb then locate foo to find file names

[true hemlock]

bored

300W into this shit

yes i wired 8 pin EPS(CPU) to a single rail DC

[midnight sigil]

wuh is this

poor hot water to cool?

wait wuh

I don't understand

[hollow topaz]

Thanks I really needed that, of you're saying nice things to me and not nano

[hollow topaz]

This was funny

[fast pagoda]

i thought the bnnottom right was a blowtorch

and i was like

yeah that makes sense

[fast pagoda]

tjere

thre's only one nano in my heart and it's u

[hollow topaz]

That's very kind of you

[patent shard]

speed=0.132x why did I do preset 1 🥲

[fast pagoda]

juh oh

my bad for being the opposite of the voice of reason

[patent shard]

idc if it takes 30 minutes.. so oh well

[midnight sigil]

what about NanoLED displays

[patent shard]

eww, not oled
speaking of, I fucking hate the term microrgb
it's just an lcd

[fast pagoda]

is this just someone's goofball term for something everyone uses

woled or qdoled or something

google seems to confirm this is just a marketing name for qdoled again

[midnight sigil]

nu

it's a different technology

like MiniLED MicroLED NanoLED they're all different things

OLED is OLED, LED is LED, LEDs are just backlight technology(maybe not, ignore this line)

tho NanoLED is self-emmisive RGB panel that works similar to OLED

me typo

[midnight sigil]

oled sucks

my QD-MiniLED IPS is better

good luck on your ΔE being off by 4 in half a year

[fast pagoda]

rtings went paywall only for teh full data

it's so fucking over

[stray dragon]

lol are you boiling water with a peltier device

[patent shard]

yep, happened like a week ago

[true hemlock]

cooling

[stray dragon]

ah

[patent shard]

I was thinking of nanocell
lg's fault for wanting to name everything nano

[fast pagoda]

the first articles i found about it were basically saying it's "another way to say QDOLED" but then i read further and it seems to be that it's actually finally like you said the qd is no longer just taking light from an oled layer (blue) and absorbing/re-emitting w colouring, the qd layer is the light source as well with these

samsung in their infinite dickery went ahead and yoinked "QLED" to mean their shitty lcd with qd film

and then on top of all that there's a separate thing entirely being called nanoLED which is actually just extremely small (less than 500nm sometimes down to 90nm) GaN pyramids that are basically miniLED turbo

[patent shard]

oh, nanoled is not lg specific

[fast pagoda]

marketing is so great

[patent shard]

freaking microrgb

[fast pagoda]

you know i was shopping for a tv a bit (didnt buy one) and i was wonder where the hell the chinese OLEDs were since TCL and such had such fantastic miniLED displays considering the price to performance, turns out they've been just grinding on inkjet deposited RGB standalone OLEDs

[patent shard]

mmm, I remember the hisense dual layer lcd
that was scrapped

[fast pagoda]

LCD is cooked

too hard to get it to oled perf

i mean

miniled are lcd

[patent shard]

it really is
lg g5 can go close to 2500 nits on 10% window
lg g6 probably will be a bit below 3000.. but we will have to wait and see

[fast pagoda]

G5 is so goddamn pretty in person

and it's not even the best one they have

even the C5 is suuuuuper nice honestly

i almost grabbed a C5 when one was on sale but i didnt

[patent shard]

g5 65" dropped to $1700 during black friday

[fast pagoda]

yeah

and the c5 was damn near under $1000

almost went for a B5 at $850 as well for a 65

[patent shard]

g5 is 2.5x brighter on 10% window than c5 and much better anti glare coating

[fast pagoda]

yeah i just dont have windows open

ya know

goblin existence

i dont want some dude to stand outside my fukin window and watch TV with me

which is obviously what happens 100% of the time if you watch it with the window open

[fast pagoda]

that's from the additional layer yeah

over the C5

at least in part

i havent seen any of the G6/C6/B6 models anywhere yet

[patent shard]

wonder how the anti glare on the c6 will be
it's going to be a tandem panel
hopefully at least same as g5.. better be with the confirmed $2700 65" launch price

[fast pagoda]

one day i'll have my very own The Wall

damn micro rgbs are still 18 gazillion dollars

[patent shard]

and they are just lcds

[fast pagoda]

i really didn't mind the samsung s90F

found those pretty cheap all over the place

for how they seemed to look

[patent shard]

$30000 for an lcd

[fast pagoda]

ye that's the one i saw and said 18 gazillion about cuz like

bruh

LG has some wild tvs in the like

50k+ range somehow

i was looking at the over da

they have a transparent oled

apparently btw the G6 is on preorder rn i just saw

[patent shard]

yep

[fast pagoda]

what's the H in C6H

hybrid or some shit

[patent shard]

I'm anxiously waiting for hdtvtest review

C6H is the tandem panel

[fast pagoda]

H standing for H Y P E R R A D I A N T C O L O U R

kek

G6 has all this connectivity

and then you get to wifi

and it's rocking wifi 5 still

[true hemlock]

i never looked into getting an oled

[fast pagoda]

the reason ive just observed and been like oooo aaaa at the pretty screens is

i dont ever watch tv

i use my TV to play youtube videos and shit if im like building something not at my desk

even recently when i was looking at it cuz i had moved and was like well i could upgrayyd my tv

didnt do it

cuz i know im not gonna use it

at least to the extent that i would ultimately be able to say i made a good decision to purchase a tv north of $1500 especially

and especially not when i could purchase a ton of ewaste or perhaps half a 5090 for that

[opaque sigil]

can they bring out the new qd oled monitors already

[fast pagoda]

no, they can take their time, i enjoy having top end while i can

[opaque sigil]

there's only a 34" out so far I believe

gimme 4k 27"

[trail topaz]

So no consoles

[patent shard]

I really want a 42"+ 240hz oled.... but alas
and they also have horrible 10% window brightness

may not be much higher than my c1, pfft

[trail topaz]

I think the one in my basement is a 60”

About as wide as I am tall

Or yall talking monitors cus if so those are massive

[patent shard]

I mean, both?
I use a "TV" as a monitor

48" C1

[trail topaz]

I mean I guess that’s true I’ve hooked up tvs to rigs before

[fast pagoda]

what is a console used for

i havent been able to figure this out

it's just a bad PC you put in your living room

[patent shard]

I mean, the series x when it was $350 and if you cared for Diablo 4... maybe
but, yeah, not now
and screw getting a PS5 to be able to play "exclusive" games.. just put them on PC where I can crank up the resolution/frame rate/graphics.. pfft

hmm, I guess PS5 still would be a better choice from a series x

even if it was like $450 and series x was $350 and came with a game
or was it $400 for no disk drive.. can't remember

it was $400

not bad, really
but only if you don't have a equal/more powerful pc already

you know, I was dumb.. I forgot a lot of xbox games you can play on pc but not ps5

so I guess still depends

[trail topaz]

Yes but useful if yk there happens to be more than one person 🤦‍♂️

[fast pagoda]

w-what

is that possible?

there's no room

they would need to sleep underneath one of my desks

[trail topaz]

U have desks in ur living room?

[fast pagoda]

i have desks all over the place

i need spots to place monitors

my ideal home situation is a medium sized office building

i feel like this is intentionally designed to look like a GPU

[true hemlock]

wtf is that

[fast pagoda]

i found that in /opt/rocm/bin/ there is an absolutely bonkers quantity of environment/function tests for rocm

so im running

all of them

[true hemlock]

[fast pagoda]

there's literally thousands

god this thing loves to clock when it's running compute

netburst ahh gpu

i like how the vast majority of these architecures arent supported at all by rocm 7.11 and these are still here anyways

ill pass all of these and then launch one(1) application that uses HIP

and it'll explode

lmao

[fast pagoda]

@sick owl

[glass flower]

kinda funny how small the difference between a 300b and a 27b model is. but from my personal tests i can definitely agree that even the 35b and the 9b models are beasts. by far the best ones that are open weights at that size

[azure lynx]

ooo.. .MUDs are another thing LLMs might be good at/might be fun to watch them play. there are some which they can write code on too if they reach a certain level. might be interesting to see what kind of world a model makes.

[glass jetty]

i just with help of ai created both rsa and aes crypt objects
and made tests for them iwth ai
it made error in names for both of api

why openssl docs are so hard to read
-# not read aes test yet, but that kind of ready to use, now i need to compile everything together

dont forget to mark ai generated code, even if you read all of it

[brisk laurel]

[azure lynx]

how are they scoring over 100% what is being scored exactly?

[fast pagoda]

they are scored against the strongest model as a baseline so theyre better in vision tasks than the giant model is what that says

397b-a17b is clamped to 100% and everything else is being measured against it

reading this rocm smoothQuant INT8 kernel article and i like how charts in these are clearly just default ass microsoft office table themes, which is perfectly fine for purpose but just feels like im pursuing a hobby yet im still at work staring at people's shitty excels

[glass jetty]

a little time to create simple blocking loop on client, and time to debug

[midnight sigil]

my new moniter has prove of gamut coverage(sRGB, ARGB and PCI-P3) and factory color calibration

[rough bloom]

fancy

[fast pagoda]

some folks here were playing i THINK it was a MUD but it might've just been something similar, but it was like some sort of tower defense or something that was able to be manipulated via programming within the game

i cant remember what it was called that's why im mentioning it without knowing

[fast pagoda]

love when electronics come w/ birth certificate

that's pretty common in audio gear//anything involving rated power

i never know what to do with them tho

dont wanna throw away

but dont have a real place to put them

except back in the box

[glass jetty]

you dont have folder with folders?

[amber fractal]

Two of my portable monitors had these pretty sure they were color printed tho

[fast pagoda]

no, i have at various times but it just overflows

[silent cloak]

Just get a binder

[fast pagoda]

my binder contains nothing but satisfactory layouts/math

i was using hermes 70b for something just to see how it was mainly and it was p good

and then i had the thought to try running it on just my 3080 without the other GPU, only support being offload to vram since it wouldnt fit in 10gb, wanted to see just how slow that would be
