That’s impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.

cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•China bans uncertified and recalled power banks on planesEnglish25·3 days agoIt would be nice if they would switch to safer batteries like LiFePO4 for power banks. They rarely catch fire and you can put them out with a fire extinguisher.

That uses proof of work rather than just detecting and blocking the bots.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Hardware@lemmy.world•Gamers reject RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB — Outsold 16:1 by 16 GB modelEnglish3·5 days agoI would guess it’s mostly about gaming. 8GB was great 10 years ago. It’s not really enough now, especially if you’re running more than 1080p. $400 for an 8GB card is also a really bad deal.

It reduces the speed and increases the latency quite a bit. The only thing worse is power line networking, which has the side effect of turning your whole house into an RF jammer.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-FiEnglish281·6 days agoThe cell carriers don’t need more bandwith. 5G is already quite fast with the existing allocations. The only times I’ve used 5G and thought it’s too slow has been in rural areas where the issue is a lack of nearby cell towers, not a lack of bandwidth. The cell carriers already have loads of millimeter wave bandwidth available for use in densely packed, urban areas where the lower frequency bands are insufficient.
It’s WiFi that should be getting more bandwidth. Home internet connections keep getting faster. Multi gigabit speeds are now common in areas with fiber.
There are plenty of OCuLink eGPU enclosures available. There are also bare adapter boards if you want to build your own enclosure.
Since it’s just PCIe with a different connector, it’s much cheaper and simpler than Thunderbolt/USB4. It does have a couple of downsides though. It can’t be hot plugged, so the computer has to be shut down to connect or disconnect an OCuLink device and the connector is not designed for a large number of mating cycles.

The GPU won’t have any issues encoding several video streams at the same time. That’s not really necessary though. The cameras will do the encoding for you. Just set the bitrate and framerate that you want on the camera and pass that through. Most cameras support two streams, the secondary stream is usually limited to SD though. All of my Hikvision cameras support RTSP. It’s mostly just the consumer grade crap that only works with the manufacturers cloud service so they can spy on you or restrict features whenever they want.
Don’t make the mistake I did and buy any Hikivision stuff from Amazon. They are all grey market and the firmware can’t be updated. I tried to update one of mine and now the user interface is stuck in Chinese. You have to get them from an authorized distributor.

cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Raspberry Pi@programming.dev•What is some cool stuff you can do with a Raspberry Pi 2?English2·15 days agoInstall RetroPie and turn it into a game console. It’s got plenty of power to emulate a lot of older consoles. You can even connect some game controllers from old consoles to the GPIO pins.

cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?English7·17 days agoI just keep all of my music in an NFS share on my NAS and play it with Rhythmbox or VLC. I keep a compressed copy on the SD card in my phone to listen to when I’m not home.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockersEnglish1·18 days agoIt’s certainly not an ideal solution, but it’s an option that will usually work.
I’ve used Optar. It works a lot better than just printing some QR codes. It fits 188 KiB on a sheet of letter sized paper after error correction. It does require a laser printer and a flat bed scanner though.
It’s still a desktop CPU, there are people who will want to play games on it when they aren’t compiling code or rendering videos.
