  • What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100?

  • It's interesting the difference in what people think a collapsed civilization will look like.

    Some people think we will "return to monke" where wilderness survival skills will be essential and people who have them will be the "main characters." That would probably be the easier and better future.

    The more likely option will be technofeudalism where rich people have small, brutal armies and control localized power grids, farming operations, and politics with tech as mass migrations happen and wildlife becomes all but extinct outside of human cultivation. Survival skills won't matter when all land and food scarcity is controlled by a rich few with absolute control. The average survivalist will be wiped out with the first natural disaster or by the feudal lords with drones. Return to nature might only come after 50 years when chip supplies and power grids have dried up and fallen apart, but it would just as likely be mad-max as oil could likely still be used.

    Who knows. Fascism might take over with how it is going now and solve the climate crisis with mass genocide and forcing green energy for all we know.

  • The thing about meshtastic is the walking distance range and limitation to text messages.

    Though I don't know if it is possible to integrate a LoRAWAN concentrator with a nice collinear J-pole antenna to mount on the top of your house to move to a double digit range where it could be useful as a neighborhood mesh with multiple channels. (With the added benefit of using lorawan devices like pet trackers and things).

    Still Lora smart (but local) home agriculture, water collection, etc... Is a really cool technology for large properties.

    They don't hire convicted felons IIRC.

  • What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?

  • I still have a 5 year old Jabra Elite Active 65t that is still trucking. I had a few glitches starting a year ago like the right earbud dropping in volume or it being stuck in a hung mode where they had to be completely depleted over a few weeks to reset them, they wouldn't even charge.

    However, they still work fine and are super convenient with hear-through for office work compared to wired IEMs way better for all fitness activities too, just not as good for really listening to music.

    Battery life is still 3-4 hours after 5 years not including the case recharge (the case battery has degraded significantly more than the earbuds themselves, probably due to the high quality VARTA cells in the earbuds)

    I am going to wear them into the ground, but jabra is doing a stock sellout before their new version of buds come out, so I bought the €140 Jabra Elite 4s for €60 for when these bite the dust, but they seem to be going strong still.

  • Lol look at statistics of smokers. Waaay more than 0.01% of people in any given country and 90% of smokers throw cigarette butts on the ground. That is just that one example.

    If you have ever traveled to the southern US, oof.

  • People can't learn not to throw trash in the street, climate change that is backed by decades of science is a problem, or hell, they can't even learn to effectively not click on super suspicious phishing links.

    How on earth are they going to learn about implementing encrypted DNS when most barely know the difference between a browser and a computer.

    Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

  • Yes but once you make that much, then amassing more money turns into a game of how you can fuck over the most people to increase your value. See: every billionaire in existance.

  • I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

    Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

    A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

    Vs

    A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

    I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

    Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

    Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

  • PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently?

  • No, mine is just a docker container. Maybe there is something with that? Is your containerized in the VM?

  • Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app

    Jump

  • 50% is quite decent and is 20% higher than most other "decent" services including physical stores. Building and keeping an app up to date with ever changing content requires at least a part time developer which is expensive.

  • PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently?

    Jump

  • Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.

    Different experiences I guess.

  • Did he disclose an amount?

    5% to artists is very different than 40% to artists.

    Or is he adopting the Spotify bottom line?

    Only pay artists after X downloads and only pay a few cents after thousands of downloads and use the rest for profits

  • Or they view it favorably, but don't have the spine to say the quiet part out loud because people would correctly label them as fascist monsters.

  • Jellyfin hardware acceleration docker issues.

    Jump

  • Do you have the Intel drivers installed on your machine? Are GuC and HuC working?

     
        
sudo reboot
sudo dmesg | grep i915
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info

    On Debian I had to manually download the i915 full driver Zip, extract it, take out the Intel drivers, and put it in /usr/lib/firmware

    Then hardware acceleration worked on my Arc380.

    If you use QSV, your CPU iGPU will be the one that can use it, so make sure to set your render device in docker to the iGPU and not the RTX 2060
