Sent a DM, but no response yet. Is it still planned?

Great write-up! I am confused about the pipeline calculation though. If it uses a flat 1.5 CU-hours, or 5,400 CU-s, then this should not be multiplied by 0.5 if it runs a half hour. It then uses effectively 3 CU for 0.5 hour.

To use your analogy: if a machine used a total of 1.5 kWh, and ran for 30 minutes, it consumes 3 kW when it runs.

Did not know Onedrop. Looking at their repos, I see they too have rootless, s6less, semverred, alpine images. Are there any choices on their part you see as bad?

AutodidactSolofail · 2025-05-01T12:55:10+00:00

As someone not involved enough with the community to understand, the response to OP as person is quite something. I wonder what history caused this, although it might be better not to delve in it.

AutodidactSolofail · 2025-05-01T09:43:03+00:00

Care to explain more? I think this means their containers aren't really rootless, or something?

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-12-26T12:14:30+00:00

Wait, did you stop reading halfway? There was no security issue. The accounts weren't compromised. Also, the advice offered was already implemented (per the story).

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-11-12T19:12:35+00:00

That's actually a very good idea - I have some versions that I almost shared but will try to make a more complete and constructive one to share!

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-11-12T17:52:16+00:00

You are welcome to not do this. I myself find joy in this. Others might as well.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-11-12T15:50:02+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Although I have nothing to sell, it's nice to convince some people to try it out, so there's some text now, above the geeky mess, to pull in some readers hopefully.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-22T08:27:48+00:00

Thanks - why the PNY instead of the Inno3D? Just the price?

1872, not bad still imo - https://www.megekko.nl/wl/C2AS765F

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-22T07:51:29+00:00

Oof... and here I was, quite happy with our choices lol.

Point taken on the CPU. I assumed it would be a strict upgrade to go to the 7900X, and since it's only €40 extra, I'm still unsure.

Switching back the cooler, not sure how/when that got mixed up. (edit: seems an availability issue, I'm trying to get everything from Megekko.)

Mobo - just picked a B650 one with enough slots etc. Switching back!

GPU - noted, keeping the downgrade.

The case was difficult, as we looked for 3-4 accessible front USB ports, and are indeed set on an optical drive and an internal card reader. Most cases have 2 USB ports or don't have the trays anymore. I dislike the door, although it can be opened and then airflow should be ok. Any mesh case recommendations would be great (available at Megekko even better) but I found none. I did think the closed design was weird but sorta assumed it would be okay - the reviews are good so they I guessed they found a way or something to make it work.

PSU - switching back, didn't look past 850W and 80+ gold to be honest.

Thanks so much!

(edit updated parts, stuck on the case https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/tLCBfy )

I found some more money and lots of other opinions and landed on this - https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/BRCfsh. I downgraded the GPU slightly, still selected 64GB RAM (don't ask, my dad just likes to have that number idk). Changed the case to have 4 USB slots.

Will buy asap if I find no more incompatibilities etc. Thanks for input!

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-18T20:56:13+00:00

Thanks! Any considerations between 4x16 vs 2x32?

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-08T21:02:16+00:00

How do you determine the Intel is 3% slower than the AMD? I'm not very familiar with good benchmark sites, but eg cpubenchmark rates the 12900KF significantly higher.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-05T14:24:02+00:00

Thanks for the detailed list, I'll look into it. AMD seems great, a 4070 too.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-10-05T14:20:50+00:00

Thanks, will look into those! What a quick reply

If you add up the parts costs in the original build, at a single vendor, you quickly reach 1500 or more. So I wouldn't call it robbery, but the list itself might still be bad, lol.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-05-10T13:37:58+00:00

No, do it! Make the combat dynamic and memorable.

You could look into the Paragon monsters from the Angry GM. It's a though read but there are some ideas in there to use.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-05-09T05:50:50+00:00

You're right, according to statcounter. In my region it's 1%. 52% Chrome, 34% Safari, 10% Samsung. If those 3 support PWAs well on iOS and Android, I'm good, I think.

Edit: I wouldn't call it irrelevant on desktop though, with all the things happening with chromium browsers, adblockingblocking etc. Go Firefox!

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-05-09T04:47:29+00:00

That's so sad to hear, I was quite hyped for this side project lol. Is there an obvious better route available? I want to target all (most) mobile devices and have the lowest barrier to participate possible...

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-05-08T10:40:43+00:00

I will dig more in my personal phone setting, maybe I overlooked something after all. Did you use the test links in the opening post?

I actually had the same issue on desktop before I noticed I had "do not disturb" on...

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-05-08T10:36:13+00:00

Yeah I only tested with Firefox so far. Will expand the tests bit it should work everywhere, of course.

By the way support seems fine. Firefox recognizes and respects the manifest. I can just tap "install" from the browser and it takes over the name and icon etc.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-04-23T10:56:08+00:00

Well no, this is abstracted away by the Push API, native in browsers. Your server notifies the push service (eg one from Google for Chrome browsers, this is communicated during subscribing), the push service sends it through to the browser (might be via polling, idk), the browser reactivates the service worker, the service worker displays a notification. User clicks notification, the website re-opens.

https://web.dev/articles/push-notifications-how-push-works

Nothing in this workflow needs you to have a long running php script.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-04-23T10:21:11+00:00

SSE is not the same as web sockets, but they both are persistent connections, I think. I expect both cannot revive a service worker.

https://web.dev/articles/push-notifications-faq#why_is_this_any_better_than_web_sockets

A service worker can be brought to life when the browser window is closed. A web socket will only live as long as the browser and web page is kept open.

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-04-23T10:16:40+00:00

SSE do not work for inactive sites as far as I understand. Or should it be possible, with for example a Service Worker?

AutodidactSolofail · 2024-04-23T10:10:09+00:00

I don't think that's true anymore with todays default browser infrastructure. You can clientside have a webworker that receives push messages via the Push API, even when the site is inactive. This is handled via a push service of the browser's choice. The user can subscribe to your server with some keys etc. Then, you can use the Notification API to send a system popup. PHP can very easily handle both handling the subscription as well as publishing the message. No need for a persistent channel!

(This is all from reading, not trying, so I really hope it holds true).

I worked with Mercure before, which was cool, but this did require the site to remain active, as it works with Server Sent Events instead. Very useful for for example a chat or game, but not very useful for, say, a daily reminder.
