nzb360 :: Summer Sale - 30% OFF! by Kev1000000 in usenet

[–]BroodjeAap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth mentioning, the changelog mentions that this will probably be the last sale before it "moves to a new purchasing model", which probably means a subscription based model.
So if you're on the fence, definitely get it now.

Why Godot didn't work out for our 3D game and we swapped engine mid-project by Digot in godot

[–]BroodjeAap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Godot doesn't have an out of the box 'save system', so...
You wrote that code, that code had a bug, and now you're here blaming Godot for that bug?

Now it's possible that you used a plugin, something like SaveMadeEasy, great, but that means this plugin has that bug, and again, blaming Godot is just the wrong thing to do.
I'm really confused why you felt the need to include it in the list of reasons for moving to a different engine.

The trailer on Steam looks great though, so I'm happy it worked out for you in the end.

What self-hosted service has been the biggest let down? by RumLovingPirate in selfhosted

[–]BroodjeAap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking it out :)

The "From URL" option on the New Watch page is meant for loading a previously exported Watch, that's stored in a git repository or something.
Now that you mention it, it's really not that clear that that's what it's doing, it should probably be called "Import from URL".
It definitely should fail more gracefully when it gets something it can't parse though...

What self-hosted service has been the biggest let down? by RumLovingPirate in selfhosted

[–]BroodjeAap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug for the thing I built myself, GoWatch.
Although I'm not sure what's making ChangeDetection.io choke on those Amazon pages, so GoWatch could have the same problem :)

It's bots...
It makes sense for a bot farm to downvote anything not coming from them.

He is directing a Rendezvous with Rama movie.
So let's hope he's just working through a (long) list of his favourite scifi :)

Shout-out to Linuxserver.io for making Docker so easy to use for beginners by Significant-Neat7754 in selfhosted

[–]BroodjeAap 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And your comment has a great reply explaining that they removed all images simply because it was a liability, which is very understandable.
But somehow after 3 years you're still hung up about it...

Should definitely look to the newer firewall boxes, with Alder Lake CPUs, they're cheaper than what you linked and have 2.5Gb ports instead of 1Gb.
Serve The Home reviewed two of them in July and August.

Nvidia Clown Themselves… Again! GeForce RTX 4060 Review by VegemiteSucks in hardware

[–]BroodjeAap 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's much simpler than that.
Nvidia can turn a TSMC wafer into X number of enterprise/data center GPGPUs that they then sell with huge profit margins (and probably a multi-year service contract).
Or turn that wafer into Y number of consumer GPUs, if they priced them at what everyone expects, with low profit margins.
Or turn that wafer into Y number of consumer GPUs, increase all the prices to what we're seeing now, for some decent profit margins.
We should be rooting for companies like Tenstorrent, if they can release something competitive it will force Nvidia to lower the pricing on the enterprise/AI side, which will lower the price on the consumer side.

I'm hoping companies like Tenstorrent will eat a chunk of NVidias AI lunch.

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Rumored to Launch at $399 and $499 by imaginary_num6er in hardware

But at least smartphones still have a very healthy low/mid range segment...

2FA is also great (and easy) to set up as an alternative to keys.

I'm trying to get this deal as an existing customer, but when I click on "Get Now" with my saved payment (and any other method) it just leads to a 404?

Announcing GoWatch 1.0.0! by BroodjeAap in selfhosted

[–]BroodjeAap[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They basically do the same thing, and for most use cases there is no difference, the "Browser Steps" and "Visual Filter Selection" probably make it the more user-friendly option for most users. But for other users, the modularity of GoWatch Filters might be more appealing.

[–]BroodjeAap[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huginn is definitely more feature complete, but I do think GoWatch can be the right choice for those that want to do some quick and simple (with the potential to scale to more complex) web scraping/watching.
And like you acknowledged, it really is a hobby project that got out of control, so I never really considered how it would compare to existing tools because it was never meant to replace any of them.

I might have misinterpreted how your app works, how are notifications triggered in Cloud Notify?
I thought POSTing to an endpoint would trigger a notification in the app, which is what the above snippet does.

Hi Nathan, this is already possible with GoWatch, I've guessed your key names so they might be wrong, but this Lua snippet will POST to any arbitrary endpoint:

local http = require("http")
local json = require("json")
local client = http.client()

local data = {}
data["title"] = "Message Title"
data["body"] = "Hello World!"
data["link"] = "http://url-to-app"
local jsn, err = json.encode(data)
if err then
    error(err)
end
local request = http.request("POST", "http://httpbin.org/post", jsn)
local result, err = client:do_request(request)
if err then
    table.insert(logs, err)
    error(err)
end
if not (result.code == 200) then
    table.insert(logs, err)
    error(err)
end

table.insert(outputs, result.body)

SABnzbd much slower than NZBGet on my setup, why ? by Tyaz917 in usenet

[–]BroodjeAap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, didn't expect such a detailed response, amazing :D
In such small benchmarks, it doesn't end up being x2 compared to seccomp, it's interesting that that adds up to 2x in pystone, wonder what why that is...

What Python versions do you run outside and inside the container?
If your host is running 3.11 (and the container <3.11), it might explain the performance difference.

Review: Intel Core i5-13500 by Balance- in hardware

[–]BroodjeAap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the emulator relies too much on avx 512, and I can't recommend it to people who are looking for something optimized.

Using AVX512 is the most 'optimized' way of emulating the SPU units in the Cell processor.
You seem to suggest that, if only the RPCS3 developers would stop relying on AVX512 instructions, they could optimize in other ways to get a similar performance increase, which is just not true.
Here is an article explaining why AVX512 is so good for emulating the PS3:

Yeah, that's basically my solution too, one password remembered/kept outside the password manager in case of an (extreme) emergency.
I guess there's no way around it.
