  • I’m looking ant intel and AMD GPUs. What fits in these minis?

  • I want to avoid Intel CPUs. I also don’t generally need transcoding for my setup but want the option and aside from Apple, Intel has the best encoders out there right now. AMD has better rendering GPUs but they have historically had absolutely terrible encoders. Nvidia is not getting my business. They can fuck right off.

  • But I can’t throw a GPU into a mini for sunshine.

  • I like the idea of these meshes but until Linux phones become a practical option it doesn’t matter. Apple will restrict the hardware, Google will let Gemini spy on anything that passes through the phone, the phone situation is a mess.

    I don’t really blame governments for that either. I blame fucking business majors.

  • No. Their stuff is surprisingly good. They don’t have a wide selection. All they have is quality. So they literally cannot afford to gamble on AI generated content just to make quantity.

  • Ha! I actually did look into them a while back and their rates are horrible! I laughed!

  • This is yet another reason why critical IT shit should be open source whenever possible. Are you paying your staff to fix shit or deal with telemarketers pretending they know what the fuck they are talking about? Just toss that into the pile.

    Where I used to work, incoming sales calls from these guys were transferred to an endless phone tree. “Oh, you want to talk to (I forget what department name we gave the black hole). Here I’ll get you over to them.” They would be sent in an endless phone tree that never went to a human. It just never ended. We were a ringcentral shop and my boss was a master with the phone traps.

    On a side note: did you know rust desk is free and does all you actually need it to do?

  • I think it’s more that consumers didn’t know what the fuck it was.

  • I have a jellyfin server. I haven’t bothered setting up the *arrs because there’s not much worth watching anymore and the few things I want I can get manually. It’s not even worth automating the piracy anymore.

  • I have my grandmothers iMac G4. Just an interesting looking from the days when Apple made interesting looking things. It still works but it’s really used for anything.

  • I have to wonder if there is a major commercial interest in that though.

  • Oh fuck that culty nonsense!

  • I started reading the article but didn’t finish. This guy is a fool. He’s bitching about vendor lock in? The data isn’t supposed to be portable. That’s the point.

  • Honestly, I don’t game much but there a few upcoming games I’m really excited about and only one of them will actually cost money. I’m waiting for Megaman X Corrupted and Billie Bust Up. Both indie, both better. There isn’t really anything worth getting from big companies anymore.

  • Which brings us to today’s sponsor, NordVPN. If you use nordVPN, nothing bad can happen to you ever again!

  • I have a eufy doorbell cam I’ll be replacing after I move because the app is just flooded with ads. Aquara has one that supposedly ties into home assistant and frigate nicely.
