The unpack process is usually single threaded, and a stock 5820k is slower than a ryzen 1600 in that case, so you’re probably just running out of CPU performance. My server runs a 6700k and it’s pretty slow to unpack even with nvme arrays

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

They’re mostly functionally equivalent, but prowlarr supports usenet indexers in addition as well as having a better interface.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

I honestly use them both since my arrs are all set up for jacket for the few torrents i need whrn usenet doesnt have something and it works fine so no point redoing everything. I use prowlarr for all my manual searches though.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Probably a ports issue if it’s that slow.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Australian here, I get 1000 / 50… don’t ask what it costs to upgrade that upload speed.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Sweet setup, what’s the reason for the extreme attention to backup power? is the grid really that unreliable where you are?

I’ve had one unplanned power outage in the last 10 years so it seems like a crazy amount of backup to me.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

I think the reason we aren’t rich is because we do shit like this.

Anyway, I’m off to buy enough HDDs to get me through the end of the month.

I was pretty happy with 100/40 but I have 8 TV’s often all streaming 4k hdr from various services at once, along with my constant downloads so i had fiber installed and went to 1000, I’m pretty happy now.

I also sync ser ers between home and work so not having to severely throttle that is nice, upstream bandwidth is still awful though.

Scotty!

Playing it kinda like Simon pegg, Which is honestly great. Looking forward to seeing more tos characters introduced next season.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

To me it was a TOS prequel from the start, I was expecting characters from the original to be introduced at some point, even if they end up being one or two episode cameos until closer to the end of the series where it has to at some point hand over to kirks enterprise with his crew. They are of course giving Kirk some more time than that as his character needs to be built into the kirk that will take command in a few in universe years, Spock is still young and learning to be fully Vulcan, Uhura is young and still building confidence etc etc etc.

I suspect we will get similar 2 or 3 episode arcs for the other as-yet unseen TOS crew in the next couple of seasons, I don’t know how many seasons they are planning on, but I suspect 5 or 6 considering it is the flagship show in the franchise and as a whole is doing increasingly well.

The issue with the Ami is that it is closer to a fast golf buggy than a standard car (even a “city car” in the standard sense can keep up at highway speeds, like Japans Kei class) if it were available in a country like the US, it could really only be targeted at the few small communities where NEVs are encouraged. Technically they can be legal in most of the country to drive on roads up to a certain speed, but only a few areas have specific incentives and laws for them.

If more US states incentivised small, low to mid speed short range EVs as second cars for short local trips, made them the budget option for the many, many families that don’t need multiple full sized cars would take one on as their first EV.

I mean the real way forward would be walkable towns, mixed zoning in suburbs, disincentivize large vehicles, hell disincentivize driving in general, expand bike lanes, dedicated bus lanes, invest in other options like light rail, remove “stroads”, shut down the false narratives that every car needs 1000miles of range, every house needs a multi car garage, every shop needs a theme park sized car park, etc etc etc…

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

yes, that is generally how it works. There are some edge cases and possible misconfigurations that would slow things down, but in general data between the devices on the switch will be gigabit and to/from the router (and thus the internet) will be limited to 100mbit.

It may only be two atoms, but it’s yet another tiny step in the right direction. It may still be generations before fusion is a scalable and reliable power source, but at this point I think we’ve proved it isn’t impossible.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

I think we will keep accelerating, but Fusion has taken so, so long to get to where we are now, every advancement has been met with a setback, and we still only have a few parts of it working on small scales.

The ones to watch for the next few years are ITER and CFETR for large scale tokamak style reactors, as well as SPARC for a much more compact solution that looks very promising as it can be built faster and cheaper. I don’t really see inertial confinement or pinch reactors being the way forward for power generation, but you never know.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

putting prototypes straight into production is the “tech startup” way!

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

is the switch input treating the input as a momentary switch rather than a traditional rocker? I think they support both modes.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Lots of reports out there of people having current leak issues when doing anything more than the usual light switch configuration. Personally, I’d just put a dumb power meter on it and leave the chlorinator hooked up to the pump line.

I’ve been daily driving a Fold3 since launch and while I love it and it’s the right device for me, I highly doubt they will ever catch on as the mainstream choice, regardless of display/form factor advancements.

I was the guy that carried a phone and a tablet basically everywhere for years, then used a Note9 for years which wasn’t quite big enough to replace the tablet so I went all in on the Fold3 after a couple of generations of working out he kinks with the Fold 1 and 2.

Now I’m stuck buying expensive folding phones for the rest of time because I don’t think I can ever go back to a flat device.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Yes and quite simple if your equipment supports it, the other VMS will not have access to the GPU if you do that.

I’ve been binging Lower Decks and looking forward to the new season, it’s really a solid show and is definitely more than it seems.

Come on give us Karl urbans Bones again. One of the best parts of those movies.

Faceman2K23 , 11 months ago

Hell I’ll take him as a quick cameo at the end of SNW to hand over the the classic crew. Oh and Simon Peggs Scotty was great too. You know what, they weren’t bad movies, it’s just cool to hate on them because it’s a meme at this point. There I said it.

Australia, 1000 down but only 50 up, AUD$140 per month, there are slightly cheaper plans available but the guys i’m with are super good to deal with.

Considering switching to 250/100 for the better upload but its $200 per month which is just silly.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

I was on 100/40 FTTN (but getting full speed due to a good line, lucky me) and earlier this year I took up the free upgrade to FTTP, went super smoothly and the install was even done neatly.

Yes I’m with Aussie BB, they’re getting big and starting to act like a bigger ISP, but the service is still top notch.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

really dumb patent, Pretty sure DLNA/UPNP media rendering with remote controller and server devices were well established when this “touchstream” mob claim to have patented casting from one device to another.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago)

I’m probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.

I need to buy more HDDs.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

Currently just NZBGeek and NZBPlanet, I also get a fair bit of content from animetosho’s free usenet index.

That NZBPlanet one is an API key I happened across on an unsecured sonarr instance I found in a random google search ages ago, sonarr and radarr used to put all of your details in obfuscated plaintext so you could just right click the obfuscated passwords and api keys and see what they were in the search google for “2f34fw” entry, that was fixed in more modern versions. Secure your shit guys. Pirates will pirate your piracy sources. if they update their keys I’ll lose it, but they seem really good so i’ll just pay for it if that happens.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

the google TV is probably your best bet without either breaking the budget or buying questionable off-brand android boxes (many of which have been fount to have malware included)

You can indeed add a usb-c ethernet adaptor if you have a pass through power USB-C hub/breakout, or the simple solution is to buy the official chromecast ethernet adaptor that is integrated into the power supply. they are available from Google directly, or compatible knock offs are on amazon.

Total cost of that rig of dongles and adaptors is still significantly less than an NVIDIA Shield, even the basic tube model.

also there are bot tools that can effectively print images straight to the canvas with thousands of bot accounts, and have them automatically maintained and repaired.

Theres no fun in it with shit like that going on.

my plex server is confused, and has been for a very long time.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

Yes but release groups don’t agree on season numbers.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

Gotta manually search and import for now.

Netscape Navigator?

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

Netscape was itself a development from Mosaic, which also spun off into what became internet explorer.

so firefox and Internet Explorer (up to around ie6 at least) are kinda weird cousins.

Its neater than my rats nest of a rack that was neat when I built it then a year of changes and additions have resulted in something more resembling something lovecraftian.

It’s good to learn, because it will become more common as time moves on, particularly if you get into the datacenter/cloud/ISP industry. It’s less important for the general home user, but it is important to understand how it works and how to use it safely.

Just treating it like IPV4 with more address space is dangerous though. you need to think differently about security and firewalls as it is as if every device has its own dedicated WAN address and could be open to the internet without you knowing.

Faceman2K23 , 1 year ago

I get a fat /48 network, just in case I need one septillion, two hundred and eight sextillion, nine hundred and twenty-five quintillion, eight hundred and nineteen quadrillion, six hundred and fourteen trillion, six hundred and twenty-nine billion, one hundred and seventy-four million, seven hundred and six thousand and one hundred and seventy-six individual IPs.

IPV6 is pretty wild, we could effectively give every service connecting to every client, in every direction, for every single individual bit its own dedicated address without getting anywhere near using that address space.

AFAIK lemmy will backfill older content but at the lowest priority.

not sure, I just know that I’ve seen some communities I follow get a flood of older posts federating through every now and then.

The HA Nodered add-on works very well, make sure you install the Nodered companion from HACS if you want full functionality though, especially if you use the HA dashboard, it makes adding custom buttons and sensors that are backed with Nodered super easy.

I use it to manually implement controls and feedback for devices that have no official integration, or have poor integrations. You can do a lot with the simple modules and visual coding, but the real power comes with the function nodes where you can write your own code and make it as complex as you need.

Plex, Komga (like kavita), nextcloud, and all the ancillary apps that go along with those, and Home Assistant.

Also playing with jellyfin alongside plex but it’s not quite there to changeover totally.

Of course they do, no matter how good the physical camera and lenses get (and they have improved a lot in the last 10 years) you still cant fight physics, the size of the parts in a phone camera mean you are always working near, or well past the diffraction limit so there is a physical limit on the detail they can render, no matter how many megapixel you throw at it…

The average phone buyer doesn’t give a shit how much AI enhancement is going on in their photos, if on average their photos look better, they will buy it regardless of whether it’s “real” or not. honestly this isn’t really much different to any photo you take on a modern phone, they already use AI enhancement for texture recovery, sharpening, face and subject detection, “cosmetic smoothing”, etc… etc… etc…

They do say they are using AI enhancement so they aren’t really lying… at least not in the legal sense. People that actually want to take photos of the moon will still use real cameras.
