You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.


DOOM Eternal on Nightmare is so much fun. I filled all three saveslots with runs of it. And then the DLC came out, kicking it up another notch!



The easy way to get a clean copy is to download it directly from Microsoft. You can generate a valid download link using the follwing website (just make sure the domain of the generated link points to Microsoft and nothing bad can happen)

As for the activation, I have found that the My Digital Life Forums have good activators available usually:

Edit: Sorry it looks like TechBench is dead, but this site seems to work the same way:

Tachiyomi used to have that, but nowadays it only asks for access to one folder and does all its business in there.


These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time


If there was no DRM we wouldn’t need to trust anyone to undo it.

Or if that emergency release of the DRM was a contractual guarantee we had at point of purchase, we’d also need less trust.


That’s a good policy. As long as the right people are still around to enforce it, it’s a little reassuring.


“in the lab” is always a dangerous one. If the Tokyo U people only just demonstrated that hard carbon electrode, then who knows if it can be produced at an industrial scale and if that can be done economically. Even if it can, maybe there is still enough time until production picks up that one more technological refresh on the LiFePO4 production is justified in the mean time.

Besides, there is some inherent inertia, in research, in the markets, in politics. Even if a clear technological winner emerged suddenly some researchers would still have a year or two to finish their grant and publish their findings, some production lines would produce until their eventual superior replacements come online and the stocks would be sold off, and some subsidies would still be payed out until a new law could redirect the funds to only support the acceleration of the new best thing.


Pied Piper middle out compression for your RAM

But seriously it’s so ridiculous especially since he said it in an interview with a machine learning guy. Exactly the type of guy who needs a lot of RAM for his own processes working on his own data using his own programs. Where the OS has no control over precision, access patterns or the data streaming architecture.


As a kid I had my own PC early and my dad set it up left handed for me. Now I’ve played games left handed in general for 23 years, and shooters in particular for 15 years already, it’s too late to relearn :-)



I didn’t refute that it was impossible. I refuted that the time where 50 Gbit/s is slow is that far off if 25Gbit/s is possible today.


My father just had the electricians pull in Cat 7 Ethernet at a friends place, but they used Cat 6 terminators. After that fiasco we were also discussing if it woulnd’t have been simpler to have them pull fiber and use media converters plus a switch with some SFP+ and SFP slots.


My ISP offers 25 Gbit/s up and down for 64.75 CHF per month. Currently I’m just too cheap to get hardware for it, so I’m on the 1 Gbit/s plan for the same price.

So maybe a bit sooner than 2050.


The best model in my opinion is if a municipality lays the fiber, then opens the infrastructure up for renting under FRAND terms to all ISPs. When I say infrastructure here, I mean both the fibers and the associated rack space on the other end of the fibers, including power and cooling.

Regarding the specific questions in your post body; I think you should be fine, because a smaller ISP is not as much of a target for intellectual property enforcement, and they probably won’t have a big compliance team like the big ISPs can afford.


An omnidirectional mic 20 cm downwards from the persons mouth is supposed to sound better than a little boom mic right in front of them? That’s not very convincing.


But that combination costs around 230 Swiss Franks versus 75 Swiss Franks for a Hyperx Cloud Alpha.



Our CIO at work posted a warning about using ChatGPT on sensitive data. The shocking part was that in the set of examples for why we might be using ChatGPT already he mentioned “for performing a quick fact check”, which is insane to me. Who would use the system that is know to just generates likely answers even if they are untrue, for a fact check of all things?!



Australians apparently. That’s what my cousins said as the explanation for why their family chat was on Facebook.


Wow that’s a good price. I pay 64.75 Swiss Franks for that.

But at least it’s a cool little ISP serving me. they offer 10 and 25 Gbit/s for the same price, just a bit more setup fee, because the transceivers are obviously more expensive. I’ve just not taken the plunge to upgrade my router and switches.


“Allowance” what the fuck? Aren’t they infantilising their customers?


USB C is confusing because it pretends to be universal

In reality USB Type-C is only a connector, not all the features people associate with it. Of course it’s going to be confusing if you insist on mushing the concepts up in your head even after an explanation. Just accept that there are at least four different things, Type-C, USB 3.2, Alternate Modes and USB PD, and start thinking in those categories.


It’s not about the server being strong or weak. Good server is the one you associate with your own projects and hobby, bad server is the one you associate with work and oblications :-)


I’ve always thought it was to head 'em off at the pass so they won’t install un-remotely managed and un-monitored Linux distros on company equipment.

For me it’s not working. Every day of having to use macOS drives me closer to doing this. It’s such a fucking annoying system, even after 2.5 years :-D


USB Type-C is not all over the place, it’s a pretty normal connector standard, that was updated a few times.

What may be confusing to is that there are also two other relevant standards:

  • USB Power Delivery 2.0 and its updates
  • USB 3.0 and its updates

Both of these standards require the USB Type-C connector for some of their features. Sometimes in a specific revision, for example at least USB Type-C Rev 2.1 is required for the Extendend Power Range introduced in USB Power Delivery 3.1 for charging at more than 100W.

Furthermore USB 3.1 has absorbed USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 has absorbed USB 3.1. Each time they renamed the old connection speeds. For example a USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 connection used to be called a USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection and before USB 3.1 came out it was called a USB 3.0 connection.

Finally USB Type-C has so called alternate modes, where the lanes for SuperSpeed USB can instead be assigned to carry other protocols, like DisplayPort.

Since very few features are actually required to be supported, and marketing managers are apparently allergic to precision, it’s hard to find out what feature is supported on which interface for any given device.



No, I use the old desktops for that.

Old laptops usually seem to go to other people:

  • My first one I gave one to a girl who’s house burned down in my street.
  • The second one went to my ex who is on really hard financial times and the old Macbook she got from another good soul died on her.
  • The third one I traded in with my mom who really wanted a light one, and in exchange she contributed to…
  • My fourth one that had more power for compiling things in my studies. This one I still have and use occasionally.
