I’ve got an old AMD Phenom II system in a 2U rackmount case that I want to run Jellyfin on. I need to add a graphics card so I can hook a monitor to it for troubleshooting etc., so I figure while I’m at it I ought to find something I can pass through for hardware-accelerated transcoding....
Well to be fair, the A380 runs circles around every cars you mentioned in encoding.
The A380 at launch beat the 3090 at encoding H.265 and h.264 and is the single cheapest AV1 transcoding card.
It has insane value. You wouldn’t buy it for 3D gaming because it has mediocre 3D performance for its class and the ARC cards in general absolutely suck on linux for gaming.
Looking for a good, studio quality microphone that just works on Linux. Also wondering what software or hardware people are using for enhancing your voice.
Not a street or professional musician, but I wanted something that had great out of the box sound and stereo recording without brealong the budget. I got it on sale.
I don’t know the quality now that Logitech aquired them though. With tons of companies, Logitech drives the quality into hell for profit margins.
Yes, of course literally the one and only. I trust him too. He is the only one. Literally the only senator that I would actually trust to do the right thing, in both the Senate and the House.
1 person against 99 can’t do almost anything though. OP said plural senators
Jeff Bezos has liquidated over 10 billion PER YEAR with absolutely 0 effect on the stock whatsoever. People who make the stock argument really don’t understand the scale at which megacorps sell stock and also how fast it would recover. Yes, if beaks liquidated every stock in one day, his stock would crash… for about a day before it was all bought up by hedge funds instantly because they know that it will recover with no problem whatsoever. Then voila, stock price recovers.
That is only because it doesn’t keep all tabs loaded in RAM all of the time though.
If you open the same pages with the same installed extensions on both you will see similar RAM usage. It is only on restoring sessions or longer-term sessions that you will see a difference because FF will reload the page when it is activated again where chrome will keep it in RAM.
Banks in europe are much more up to date with tech.
They have APIs to sink transactions with external providers like nordigen API.
They have 2FA that is linked to your national identity card which is chipped
Nationally used apps that are universal 2FA linked to national IDs that banks, medical, and government services all tap into
Everything is contactless payment nowadays, the US just recently started contactless cards
Inter-bank transfers without external apps like venmo
There are MANY problems with EU people getting their banks to work on a rooted phone.
They will absolutely implement DRM if someone sells the bullshit to them under the illusion of “safety.”
Hell, the US had handwritten “vaccine cards” for covid while European nations even had open source user spinoffs on nationally funded apps linked to national IDs to manage COVID vaccination and testing passes.
What's a good, cheap, no external power GPU to buy for VMs? Want to chuck a few in my Dell R730 server to make my desktop VMs more usable. Right now have an old K620 for a Windows VM, seems like 1030s are a good bet since I have a bunch of low profile slots I otherwise have no use for.
If you are debating on eventually doing a media server, Arc 380 is small form factor, no external power, crushes all encoding benchmarks, and only $150. Plenty of good used card options from a few generations back like some mid-tier gpus, but pretty future-proof as far as server performance if you have kernel 6.3+
Edit for anyone later: ARC sucks ass right now for gaming on linux as intel devs are 90% windows focused. Don’t take this advice for a desktop GPU
Wanted to gauge interest in some sort of coffee exchange. I roast my own coffee and would love to see what others think. Plus I think it’d be fun to try out local roasters from around the US/world....
I’m currently trying to build out a ZFS array with a few 8TB drives I have lying around. I have one of these 5-port NVMe SATA controllers and am looking for advice on which SFF PC to buy....
Nope, it is sn app that can play videos from youtube, peertube, and z few others. You don’t log in to youtube, but you can create subscription lists and playlists and everything. Only the youtube algorithm doesn’t work on you.
I really don’t understand that tech. If you have wireguard on your machine, it shouldn’t be able to leak your IP address in theory. Do they rootkit your PC or some shit?
My monthly electricity budget is fixed at ~200€ per month, regardless of the electricity I use.
Then at the end of the year I get a bill for an extra 2000€ even though I didn’t use much at all and the company claims that I used 99.99% of my electricity during the one most expensive month of the year.
Then we have to call them and say “that is literally impossible, you are scamming us.” To which they reply “we can’t see what electricity you use, we can only estimate it.” (How are they even an energy company in that case of all of their numbers are made up guesses?)
Then we go through a song and dance of using our smart meters monthly tallies to prove definitively that our usage was much lower and evenlt spread so we should actually be barely paying any extra or getting money back.
To which they reply “we will lower it to only a few hundred, we do so much for you and you should be greatful we worked so hard to get you this price.”
This is Belgium. This is a real service conversation. Fuck Mega, Fuck their lying scamming bullshit “service” and I hope every executive of mega gets their bedroom infested with wolf spiders and gets bedbugs.
I selfhosted my Nextcloud and really enjoyed it for personal use. One of my friends took a look into it and thought that it could be a good thing for his company that employees +200 people and growing… They are currently using Google Workspace but want to ditch it completely in favor of something that they can control...
How does it store them though? I thought (this was maybe long ago) they they were stored plaintext on your machine instead of in an encrypted vault like password managers.
So you guys might remember my previous post about a Belgian Golden Strong Ale. That one was actually a “starter” for this one. What are your thoughts about it? I intend to fermet it with Belle Saison at 23+°c.
Hey, very new to the brewing game. What app is this? As someone who lives in belgium, I find the quad pretty difficult for microbreweries to get right. A dubbel is a bit more forgiving as far as getting the flavors balanced. I could just be talking out of my ass though as I am a beer drinker currently and not a brewer 😉 just what I have heard!
Years ago I tried modding Fallout New Vegas and I think 4 on Fedora ages (I was running Fedora 28 at the time) ago using Mod Organizer 2 and it wouldn’t work for reasons I didn’t understand, possibly file system related. I’m thinking of switching to Pop! OS full time but I’d still like to play either modded Skyrim or FO4...
I use vortex, it was dead simple to set up if you read the instructions (like disabling internet access and disabling update checking) and it has worked flawlessly for 1.5 years
That’s why on all of the linux installer guides and sources it tells you to turn off updates. In general, you don’t need to update mod organizers. There are few scenarios where it is absolutely needed or something will break
