Seriously, my dude here is being optimistic.

Will have to give it a shot.

Redoing storm light now, didn’t love it the first time, but it was OK and I forgot most of the details when the 4th book dropped. It’s not bad but I don’t get why others are so crazy about it.

Most of those hold up.

Time enough for love did not imho.

Need to look at rift war.

Just say ‘excusez moi?’ it’s like a magic word to make them suddenly and eagerly speak English.

They won’t do it otherwise, but if you threaten to pollute their language with your barbaric pronunciation they’ll gladly jump on that grenade.

It’ll get there quick.

I worked on HPC cpus, scaling up isn’t that hard, the hard part is dealing with your Isa baggage.

The GDPR is one of the regulations that actually seems to help on a daily basis.

23andMe is going bankrupt and now a good part of the US is having their DNA sold to the highest bidder.

4k with 10b/pixel (assuming, could be 12) x 60fps (assuming) x 360s (4min) x 3 cameras:

3840 * 1920 = 7,372,800 pixels

7372800 * 3 channels (RGB) = 22118400 values

22118400 * 10/8 = 27648000 bytes

27648000 * 60 = 1,658,880,000 bytes/sec

1658880000 * 360 = 597,196,800,000 (0.6TB for 4 minutes)

.6TB * 3 cameras = 1.8TB

RAW means RAW, no encoding, no cute channel games, no nothing, just fuck-off I/O.

edit: My bad, that’s 6 minutes, so assume 12 bits per second and you get the same size for 5 minutes.

Modern compression algorithms are quite literally just magic at this point.

edit2: FUCK! Forgot audio!

So… 192khz * 32bits/8(bits per byte) = 768,000 bytes/sec * 300 (5 minutes) = 230,400,000, so 230MB, doesn’t really move the needle.

Seriously, we don’t give a shit, if we have enough to eat and buy some fun toys we’re thrilled to keep up our mad experiments.

Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.

This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they’re 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.

Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.

Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.

Got someone to work with on a new company, so that’s part of this, though my day job relies on this too.

Doing that switch soon.

Plex doesn’t do hw accel well, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Same, except the irc, I have a python thing to interface.

Stealing your idea, that sounds awesome.

That’s it.

Sounds like a Chinese geek tried to make something useful, did a lot of dirty hacks to get it going.

And couldn’t properly explain because his social skills and English weren’t great.

The blobs weren’t super suspicious, just some gpld tools, basically busybox kind of stuff.

The real problem is what he made was so fucking insanely useful and needed by everyone that the standards for software skyrocketed.

Like you make a cure for cancer and everyone starts screaming at you because one of the side effects is temporary impotence.

Prison pocket.

No, the terrifying part is that we’re letting it happen without getting angry, much less fighting back.

He was having trouble refinancing given the massive drop in revenue and valuation.

So just make up a number and buy it off yourself.

Was about 17 years.

The Russians are astroturfing hard, doing everything to justify their invasion and banning anyone who disagrees.

No point anymore.

So I remembered how the autoreverse worked on my toshiba, there was a roller on a rocker arm with a spring, when that roller displaced from tension the rocket arm triggered the action.

I’m pretty much positive it’s the spring, but you might be able to test this by finding the rocker arm and adding tension with a paper clip to see if the problem stops.

Np, good luck.

I miss my old Walkman from when I was young (actually think the one I used most was a Toshiba). Favorite was a Panasonic fm radio though, still love that thing, might have it in storage actually.

They were awesome for the time, best of luck with yours, ask if you have other questions!

Oh, the sensor itself could be glitching, but I kind of doubt that, the springs almost always go first.
