Have my main server back home, while I’m traveling I have a script to reencode to av1 onto my local machine, works beautifully and the quality drop isn’t too bad (colors look weird but think that’s the Intel xe encoder)

Used to have miredo, which worked pretty well, but think they killed that.

Should still have old 6to4 protocols, they use ipv4 address tricks to get everything working.

This is something I’ve felt we’ve needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.

This is something I’ve wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.

Went back to BF4, felt like coming home.

We lost so much in the last decade, maybe a few new shooters can help bring things back.

How you doin’?

Yeah, it is.

But I don’t know what to tell you, the term predates the nazis by quote a bit.

They adopted it, but it was known from the age of dragoons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_troops

The sacred band of thebes were considered shock troops, and I’d suggest that’s closer to what the Russian idiots meant.

But I also wouldn’t be surprised if they were just copying the nazis without knowing.

They probably moved it to somewhere under /usr or /var/lib.

A storm trooper is a member of storm troops, also called shock troops, which are trained for sudden assaults. They carried out attacks in World War I and in World War II, and they were a politica militia of the Nazi party (see Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts). The English storm troops is a direct translation of the German Sturmtruppen.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/storm-trooper

They were called storm troopers because they were the ones who stormed trenches during an assault.

It wasn’t considered a bad thing then, they were considered the elite.

It’s a commonly used term now, just like Assault Rifle from Sturmgewehr.

It’s become verbed, like googling.

Sturmtruppen was the German word for ‘assault troops’, much like sturmgewehr is their word for ‘assault rifle’ which was adopted by everyone else.

It means troops to storm a position, the heaviest troops for assaults.

We’d call them assault forces, or honestly, just marines (amphibious assault corps).

Hitler had a bunch of paramilitary followers (think Trump and his Jan 6 crowd) called the sturmabteilingen (sp?), which translated to storm troopers, because he thought it sounded impressive.

He later betrayed and murdered them, to curry favor with the army, which is so Hitler.

So no change for Russia then.

He’s a Midwestern republican, it’s less bad there and they can keep deniability that people are so insane.

A lot of the worst of this spread from the dixiecrats when they joined the GOP, what’s tragic is how Midwesterners keep convincing themselves that this is just normal politics and not the legacy of Jim Crow racism run amok.

I mean, he’s still a politician, but he’s a politician within the bounds of sanity.

Dewine isn’t crazy, he’s mostly a paleorepublican from before the dixiecrat coup.

He’s been fighting this insanity for a while, with mixed results.

The exact number of executions carried out in China is not publicly disclosed, as the country treats execution data as a state secret. However, human rights organizations estimate that China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.

According to estimates by organizations like Amnesty International, the number of executions in China is believed to be in the thousands each year, but precise figures are difficult to verify.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China

At least our statistics are available…

Yes! So much fewer!

Because they shoot them instead.

The CCP killed more Chinese than Genghis Khan, they’re an occupying force, we pushed the Japanese out only to leave them to be conquered by someone almost as bad.

Please.

Have you lived in China for any amount of time?

It’s an open-air prison administered by the CCP.

The Chinese people deserve so much better.

Wow, that’s incredible!

Banning foreign games and protecting your domestic game market so your people will desperately buy anything you give them works, what a shock!

and I trust them as a company enough that I have no interest in self hosting vaultwarden.

I pay the subscription, but I trust no company that much.

Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.

I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.

It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.

Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.

Riddle me this:

I never look online for game hints, I played ER for a while, got frustrated.

Looked at hints, they explained how you get tempest like it was the most obvious thing in the game to sleep in the church after level 5.

Wtf?!?!?!

I hate from soft games because they seem to expect you to look online.

Good Ole Bobby tables.

It’s a great mmo because it doesn’t have the grind and time Commitments.

It’s not a 2nd job, it’s just something to do for fun with a good story and atmosphere. It’s what an mmo should be.

Enhance!

I wish you were here.

That sounded like 5.56, which sounds more like a pop than 7.62 (brat) or .303 (boong).

Yes, it’s a shame, but tbf Israelis really freaked out after Oct 7 and now see threats everywhere.

There was a strong supporting reaction at first, but then the Israelis started saying some dark things and some people are starting to feel an awkward vibe.

Hamas needs to be rooted out, it’s just a lot of Israelis seem to see all gazans as hamas now, which is problematic, and lash out with “antisemitism!” When people try to deescalate.

Well, you know the Russian motto fits here:

“And then it got worse…”

I love what you did, especially the c++.

Using a unifi right now but this is the perfect replacement, especially since it’s programmable, just put a few nic ports on a vm and let it run.

Just beautiful.

Yeah, lidarr just takes care of it, and plexarr for playback.

Same, and the apps work great.

The onboard gpu is likely more powerful than all but some workstation gpus you could add for transcoding, it’s more likely you don’t have hardware acceleration working properly.

How dare you expose my fraudulent career!!!

Regarding the write cycles: If they ar used up the cells should enter a read only mode so that you should be able to recover the data from. Bad time if it’s the OS though.

This has never happened to me, but I suspect it’s because the controller is the primary failure point here.

Blergh!

Long inline assembler.

Might as well just delete it all and start again.

Earplugs, but also you just get used to it as white noise.

But yeah, loud as hell.

Nature is healing.

That’s cute. It was noisier than you can possibly imagine, but damn if you didn’t need that nap while tests ran.

Same, though I too switched to an aws instance and before that linode since 2008 or so.

Miss the old days of not having to worry about IPBL.
