  • The People Who Put Emulators on Your Steam Deck Now Want to Sell You a Linux Console

    Jump

  • I mean that is true, but still nowhere near the same thing as 16GB ram and 16GB dedicated vram. This thing has a 9070xt and a 600W PSU, so the other commenters claim that they have a higher specced tablet is just kind of absurd, especially since I don't believe there's a tablet in existence with discrete graphics. And even if it did, beating a recent gen card like a 9070 would be a really tall order.

  • What kind of tablet do you have that has 16gb of vram??

  • I've Got 'Night Of The Living Dead' On My Homelab Server

    Jump

  • Makes sense. I share my media library with 10-15 friends so there's usually a few streams late at night, and scrubs, container updates, and backups run early morning at like 2-4am.

  • I've Got 'Night Of The Living Dead' On My Homelab Server

  • I got a few on my laptop but none on either of my long running homelab boxes (70-80 days uptime). On my laptop they all seem related to espeak, the tts program. Is there any pattern in what processes yours are from?

  • Alright let's see pictures of your super nice rack-mounted, professionally installed labs. I'll start 🙃

    Jump

  • Dust and jank you say? Behold, my old basement homelab when I rented just outside Boston with a very permissive landlord who agreed to let me have Comcast gig pro fiber pulled into the basement, running off an outlet I installed without asking on a free slot in our breaker box. The dust was terrible, the rack was a hodge podge, I had to put up that sign because maintenance guys kept plugging their power tools into the UPS when I wasn't around and tripping it. But Comcast fucked up the billing and the 2gig + 1gig symmetric internet is still active to this day for free, which I left behind minimally working for the next tenants after parting out the rack. The tower by the side was a friend who wanted to colocate on my fiber, and I had some fun stuff like a slide out vga console. I also pulled Ethernet into every room, most of them installed with nice wall plates all bundled down to the rack, so with a house full of gamers, you could have multiple people pulling a gig on a game download without anyone stepping on anyone else's toes.

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm more talking about everything they do in addition to make the non-premium experience more painful. The incentive is to make it as annoying as people are willing to tolerate with dark patterns and little irritations. That kind of thing is entirely done on purpose, and I think it's gross to have to capitulate.

    Jump

  • And this is very evident whenever you're outside the lemmy / technically skilled bubble, on reddit and many other places, whenever the topic of YouTube ads / premium come up, a surprising proportion of the comments will be to the effect of "just pay for premium" and "premium is so worth it" or "yt premium is the most valuable subscription out of them all". People don't seem to care that so much of the value of premium is avoiding a problem entirely fabricated by YT.

  • What do you cook when you want to impress your guests?

    Jump

  • For meat eaters, probably sous vide steak with a mayo sear on cast iron, with mashed potatoes (using a ricer to make it 100% smooth) with butter and cream that's had a bunch of herbs simmering in it (inside a tea steeper so it can all be removed), I also sometimes add flour to the dairy to make a roux or bechamel to kind of follow the Julia Child's recipe.

    Or perhaps spaghetti carbonara with diced pancetta (it might be the oil from the pancetta or the egg/dairy but this can upset stomachs, but the sauce ends up being very creamy and delicious)

    For seafood lovers, I love to make creamy New England style clam chowder in my instant pot, which I add fish sauce, soy sauce, old bay, and paprika to, as well as bacon bits if they can have pork. I usually make it thick by mashing the potato bits until it's about right, and leave the rest of the potatoes as bite sized pieces. This recipe is a mashup of a bunch of clam chowder recipes, trying to find the best unique parts of each one I could find and adding it if it makes mine taste better.

  • I see PC purist complain about their cooling so much.

  • And then there's me with a 9800x3d with a low profile cooler in a fractal ridge. It only throttles under synthetic tests so I just say fuck it and let it run at whatever temp it wants to run at.

  • Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

    Jump

  • I think the warning you might be thinking of is that a breaker can fail to pop if an inverter/generator is on the same circuit as a high wattage device. Since some energy would go directly from generation to device, the breaker will only see the "net" energy consumption. So if the generator puts out 1500W and the device decides to draw 3000W, a 15A breaker only sees 1500, and won't trip even though the device is pulling way too much. If the breaker was sized for the wiring, then the wiring to that outlet could catch fire due to the breaker not tripping. That's the main reason I know of why a generator or inverter should be on a dedicated circuit, to force the energy out one breaker and in another, so that the breaker can see an accurate measure of energy and trip when necessary.

  • Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

    Jump

  • Generally that's fine and I agree, but one edge case that people overlook that I think is worth mentioning (and maybe what gp heard about and is trying to articulate) is that having an inverter or generator on the same circuit as a big energy consumer means that the breaker wouldn't see the total energy being used by the consumer, and so it might not trip even if the consumer pulls too much wattage. That's the main reason I know of why power sources should be on their own breaker - so it doesn't hide power from the breaker but forces it to go out the generator circuit breaker and back in the consumer breaker so it can be protected properly.

  • Your Pixel can now double up as a full Android PC with nothing more than a USB-C cable

    Jump

  • Yeah I've tried those but it seems like such a hack. Weirdly, the one handed "pull screen into reach" doesn't allow you to swipe down across the notifications bar to open notifications, in that mode it only registers swipes that start from below the notifications bar. And the floating button gets a little unwieldy since it overlaps with the volume popup. And in the "show notifications" mode, the button opens notifications but doesn't let you close them (once you press it twice for the "control center" it no longer does anything)

    Not to mention it doesn't really help with the phone itself being uncomfortable to hold. I'm trying my best to vote with my wallet, but that has meant sticking with a Pixel 2 up until a few years ago, and the Pixel 5 was my "only 2mm taller" compromise - I completely overlooked the fact that the Pixel 2 screen starts like 1cm from the top while the Pixel 5 screen starts nearly at the top. The Pixel 10a is almost 10mm taller, so I'm not sure if I'll be sold on it.

    I actually bought a OnePlus 6 something (t?) at one point fully intending to give in to a bigger screen but I hated it and returned it.

  • I don't use a case and I use Lineage. I'm not really concerned. I already need to crop the top of the screen in developer settings just so that I can reach the notification bar, I'm not really enthusiastic about getting something even bigger.

  • sad pixel 5 noises

    I've been waiting for a camera bump free upgrade, the 10a might be it but I'm reluctant to continue up the phone size escalator.

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

    Jump

  • My *arrstack DBs are part of my backed up portion, so they'll remember what I have downloaded in my non-backed up portion.

  • Same here, ~30TB currently but my personal artifacts portion is only like 2TB, which is very affordable with rsync.net, which conveniently has an alerts setting if more than X kb hasn't changed in Y days. (I have my Synology set up to spit out daily security reports to meet that amount, so even if I don't change anything myself I won't get bugged)

  • The most notable difference is that meshtastic has range in the order of miles. At least 1 mile even with bad antennas but with other nodes nearby to repeat your messages, 20 miles is not hard to do.
