You meant $695 right? Apple has an image to protect, you know.

(For the people mad at me: Mac pro wheels.)

While I’m mostly sure it parody, its gotten really hard to tell lately.

I didn’t think the consumer-level chip immolation carried over to their xeons?

If it did, holy crap, they’re mega-ultra-turbo-plaid levels of screwed.

Yeah quicksync won’t help you there.

I thought nVidia’s limit was enforced by their drivers, but that’s probably changed since it’s been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).

If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).

If not, well, it’ll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).

The Orange Age

sidequests that involve you slowly following an NPC

I haate those quests. ‘Quick! We must urgently go do something to save everyone!’ and then waddles off like an over-stuffed penguin.

Can we PLEASE at least make these stupid NPCs walk at player run speed, it’s been obnoxious for like 30 years now.

Since android apps are required, I’d maybe go about this another way: find the app you like the most, then stand up whatever backend it uses for sync.

I was already in the FreshRSS ecosystem, but man, I don’t really like any of the android apps on offer, but swapping at this point would be annoying (bookmarks, saved stories, etc.)

Granite Rapids is probably going win some of that back: a lot of the largest purchasers of x86 chips in the datacenter were buying Epycs because you could stuff more cores into a given amount of rack space than you could with Intel, but the Granite Rapids stuff has flipped that back the other way.

I’m sure AMD will respond with EVEN MORE CORES, and we’ll just flop around with however many cores you can stuff into $15,000 CPUs and thus who is outselling whom.

100%.

I see a CLA or a goofy “source-available” license, I just assume it’s going to be a rugpull and that I should move on. I very much do not give anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore.

And it doesn’t mean they can take away anything.

Not if they’re able to monetize your small bugfix

The problem is they can, and that’s not the point - I don’t care if you make money with something I spent my time on willingly, I care that you’re forcing me to say you’re the full and sole owner of my contributions and can do whatever you want at any point in the future with them.

Signing a CLA puts the full ownership of the code in the hands of whomever you’ve signed the CLA with which means they have the full ability and legal right to do any damn thing they want, which often includes telling you to fuck yourself, changing the license, and running off to make a commercial product while both killing the AGPLed version, and fucking everyone who spent any time on it.

If you have a CLA, I don’t care if your project gives out free handjobs: I don’t want it anywhere near anything I’m going to either be using or have to maintain.

And sure you can fork from before the license change, but I’m unwilling to put a major piece of software into my workflows and hope that, if something happens, someone will come along and continue working on it.

Frankly, I’m of the opinion that if you’re setting up a project and make the very, very involved decision to go with a CLA and spend the time implementing one, you’re spending that time because you’ve already determined it’s probably in your interests later to do a rugpull. If you’re not going to screw everyone, you don’t go to the store and buy a gallon of baby oil.

I’ve turned into the person who doesn’t really care about new shit until it’s been around a decade, has no CLAs, and is under a standard GPL/AGPL license (none of this source-available business license nonsense), and has a proven track record of the developers not being shitheads.

take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android

I’ve swapped from iOS to Android and I very much have the opposite experience.

Everything in Android feels just a little bit like someone somewhere went ‘well we have to put this option SOMEWHERE’ and just shoved it in, which leads to me fiddling in apps and system settings a lot more than I was on iOS.

I’m happy to chalk it up to much more experience in iOS than modern Android, but it’s been kinda a pervasive experience.

And, also related and annoying: googling ‘how do I change a thing’ routinely makes me nuts because how you do something seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and even like, model to model.

I guess it’s just… maybe iOS needs more button presses, but Android is utterly inconsistent as to where something might be which means you spend a little more time digging for a specific thing than you might on iOS which leads to the impression that you’re hitting a lot more buttons to do something, even if maybe the actual number of presses would be lower if you knew exactly how to do it.

Give me a new version of the 5c, but use the G3 iMac colors as your color options, including a transparent look into the guts of the phone.

Would buy at least one.

Quickest peak and then utter vanishing of any interest in a project I’ve had in a while.

Wouldn’t mind something a little more open than SearXNG in that it owns it’s own database, but requiring that they be the sole owner of anything anyone contributes AND having the ability to yank the rug at any time they feel like it pretty much puts it in the meh-who-cares category.

Had enough stupid shit yanked over the past few years that I really just don’t care or have time to deal with any that is already prepping for their eventual enshittification.

Yeah, I noticed that.

It’s on my to-do list for next week since I should have time to sort that out/file a bug if it’s something that’s not a configuration error.

Hell, maybe not since 1997!

Office 2000 was peak office: it had the definitive version of Clippit, and every actually useful feature you’ll probably ever need to type and edit any sort of document.

…I will say, though, that Excel has improved for the weirdos that want 100,000 row spreadsheets since then, but I mean, that’s a small group of people who need serious help.

This has nothing to do with anything, but whatever.

I just uh, wrote a bash script that does it.

It dumps databases as needed, and then makes a single tarball of each service. Or a couple depending on what needs doing to ensure a full backup of the data.

Once all the services are backed up, I just push all the data to a S3 bucket, but you could use rclone or whatever instead.

It’s not some fancy cool toy kids these days love like any of the dozens of other backup options, but I’m a fan of simple and well, a couple of tarballs in a S3 bucket is about as simple as it gets since restoring doesn’t require any tools or configuration or anything: just snag the tarballs you need, unarchive them, done.

I also use a couple of tools for monitoring the progress and a separate script that can do a full restore to make sure shit works, but that’s mostly just doing what you did to make and upload the tarballs backwards.

Well, shit.

Hopeful that Apple doesn’t wreck anything, but I mean, they’ve not always bought software and NOT wrecked it horribly.

Guess we’ll see.

Well, I know what I’m doing this weekend.
