One downside on a laptop is reduced battery life.

I tried Ghostty briefly before, but you have to really try hard to notice preformance difference over Konsole.

Cool idea, but not useful for those that spend all day in a terminal imnho.

Not yet, but you can provide your email to express interest at the bottom of the pre-order page.

I picked up a helmet like this around 5-7 years ago. Absolute shit. Does not block anywhere near enough light to be useful and battery doesn't last.

Only thing that works well is the sun visor you can lower when needed and even that doesn't work as well as dedicated shaded visor, but that's a bitch to swap.

I think large part of firefly lore, at this point, is the fact that it was cut short. Awesome show.

100% agree with the last thing you said about checking latest info before buying, but...

I stand by what I said about nothing AMD makes being even close to QS. Pretty much the only two reasons to need server side transcoding at a level where CPU is still relevant is

  1. Plex and clones.
  2. Security cameras.

There's nothing worth mentioning that works with AMD.

My N150 is transcoding 9 4k streams from cameras 24/7 and easily handles another 1 or 2 4k streams when plex needs it. All at <10W. At this load, it almost never goes above 50% cpu consumption.

I'll definitely check current offerings if I ever need to replace my setup, but right now, AMD basically doesn't exist in this market.

Weird logic. I couldn't care less if it has solution to world's hunger if I can't access it.

I realize some amd processors might have hardware video transcoders, but they are not even close to Intel's quick sync. Fact.

I didn't really make any claims about why. I don't care. I was just supporting another person's excellent observation that brand loyalty is idiotic and only way to influence the market is to vote with your wallet.

[–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago (4 children)

100% this. AMD is currently better for laptops/desktops, but my plex is running an Intel because AMD has nothing even close to Quick Sync for video transcoding.

I completely agree, but despite OP or Samsung looking better on paper, overall experience is just so much smoother. Shit just works. And at some point I began to value that over specs.

Just for some perspective, I'm basing what I'm saying on OP 3T, 5T and 8Pro, Samsung S21 and Pixel 8 pro and currently 9 pro fold.

[–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nah, I'm not doing back to OP. I hate to say it, but If you're going to use android, nothing beats pixels. Not even close.

If GrapheneOS manages to actually work with a decent hardware maker to get a phone to the market, I'll get that next, but only if Android auto and banking apps work. Phone's useless to me without those.

Only reason I'd give those up is if I can get another Linux phone as polished as Nokia N9. Still the best phone I've ever owned.

Not a popular opinion, but if those two options are unavailable, I'd rather switch to iPhone than use a non pixel android.

Oneplus had great success but then enshittified. Raised prices to match Samsung and Google, outsourced support to some place that didn't sound like they were even in the same dimension as any English speakers and took away their ability to help customers even by accident and finally quality of their phones went to shit.

They could've sucked the Chinese government subsidy tit for another few years and would've established themselves as legit competition, but that would only delay inevitable enshittification by a few years.

Pretty sure (based on a ton of other mistakes in the same post) that previous poster had a stroke while typing "video for" so the next post is a joke.

 

It shows up every time I dismiss or switch apps and displays over other stuff that might be more relevant. Any way to turn it off?

 

This sounds like a really cool feature if not to difficult to add. https://dubvee.org/post/1621850

 
# sudo btrfs fi df /mnt/disk3
Data, single: total=12.70TiB, used=12.27TiB
System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=1.34MiB
Metadata, DUP: total=15.00GiB, used=14.50GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=608.00KiB

# mkdir /mnt/disk3/tst
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘tst’: No space left on device

I suspect this is BTRFS balancing issue, but even BTRFS's own utility is indicating there's still SOME space left. Certainly should be enough to create a directory.

Any ideas?

Just in general BTRFS default options for creating new volumes seem to not work well for disks that I intend to fill completely immediately after formatting. Are there better options for this use case? I just use

# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdd1

 

Thinking of getting a fully automatic espresso maker. Seems like machines with 2 hoppers are double the price.

I'm just curious what are some solutions people came up with for switching between decaf and regular beans for a family that regularly brews both kinds?

 

I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Latest NVidia proprietary drivers on 1080Ti. Proton 8-4 crashes faster than Expiremental, but both still consistently crash.

Everything was working perfectly until recent D4 update. Now game freezes after 1-2 minutes in game.

GPU VRAM is not exhausted. CPU is mostly idle. Plenty of RAM.

Doesn't seem to be caused by anything specific. Will freeze whether I'm in a fight or in a town.

Anyone else experienced similar issues? Not sure how to debug this, but I can't play anymore and it sucks.

 

I have a Dell laptop with Intel and Nvidia GPU and Sonnet 750 eGPU enclosure with AMD card. Monitor is connected via USB-C to laptop.

glxinfo correctly shows AMD GPU as renderer when I run

# DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 17.0.6, DRM 3.54, 6.6.9-1-default)

When I try to run steam or benchmark like Superposition though, they run using Intel card with terrible performance.

DRI_PRIME=1 ./Unigine_Superposition-1.1/bin/launcher

You can see in the screenshot that it shows computer RAM (64GB) and not GPU's VRAM (24GB)

This same setup works perfectly if I put NVidia GPU in the eGPU enclosure.

Any ideas? I tried connecting a DP cable directly from AMD GPU to monitor, but it works like crap with screen barely refreshing.

 

Sorry if this is a wrong community to ask these question since my system is only partially DIY, but does anyone have experience with EPS systems like EcoFlow Delta?

I'm trying to figure out exactly how it works when all 3 sources of power are available: battery, AC and solar. Is it able to use them in combination if solar doesn't provide 100% of demand?

And if anyone is using UPS units, how are you dealing with lack of ground? I'm thinking of daisy chaining UPS to EPS to avoid sensitive equipment from shutting down during failover, but I'm concerned that UPS will not like operating without ground.

When I try to login to my Lemmy instance, I type my username/password, then 2fa code prompt shows up and I enter it, and then I just get endless spinning wheel. It used to work at one point, but I'm not sure what changed. I updated both, client and server multiple times since it stopped working. I've also reset Connect data on my phone.

I can connect to my instance in browser and in another Lemmy client for desktop.

Lemmy spams so much shit into server logs, I can't find anything useful during connection attempt. Is there any way to troubleshoot this from client?

How can I figure out what it is waiting for?

Edit: Just wanted to update that if I filter Lemmy server logs by IP - I don't see a connection attempt from Connect client at all.

Thank you.
