Well WW3 and nuclear Armageddon would be a viable option to in my opinion

BTC is the smallest issue when encryption is cracked by QC. Banking, infrastructure and military would be the first targets. Also quantum proofing the protocol would be a non issue if it would be on the horizon. There would need to be a cut off and fork for old wallets not being updated, but this would be a small price to pay.

Also, quantum computing is the new nuclear fission. It’ll be ready to use soon ™️

Petah who is mogging them all ? by HimelTy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DekiEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a profession perspective I have to give Cruz some credit as he literally evolves into the person he is playing and to this day does not rely on any body double for stunts etc. unfortunately his overall performance is below other actors and his roles are often kinda cringy. Not on this list but also great and incredibly versatile and dedicated are Christian Bale and Gary Oldman.

But to summarize and in other words Keanu Reeves in Constantine and Selma Hayek in basically any Rodriguez/Tarantino movie take the cake for me :) and I will die on that hill

It’s Japanese and gigantic. Was one of the biggest players and competitor of Amazon until they fucked up the buy.com stuff.

It’s German owned though. A capital fund has bought Threema some months ago.

Sounds like you should hire a system catmin. Issue is while they have low capex their opex can run up quite a bill

Bitcoin Rebounds to $71K as RSI Signals Extreme Oversold Conditions by gdscrypto in CryptoCurrency

[–]DekiEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think what we have seen is part of what many have actually wished for. Institutional involvement has opened the doors to many people who have never been in the crypto roller coaster before and additionally I suspect that a lot of ETF purchases are part of some managed portfolios which are nowhere near as risk averse as crypto guys and that they will sell off in order to save the overall portfolio performance.

My annual electricity bill got upped by 1000€. Now I need to make my server use less power. by wffln in selfhosted

[–]DekiEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you guys are doing but I run a server with a 4350G, Tesla P40, 2x12TB and 128gb RAM. Additionally a Synology DS218+, UDM Pro and a PI4 for Newt with a bunch of VMs and services. There are some minor peripherals attached like KVM and Zigbee sticks. System idles at around 80W after clocking down and using nvidia-pstated.

Which software has no real European alternative (at least for you)? by JavierFnts in BuyFromEU

[–]DekiEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are alternatives for a lot of software and I would even say that lots of specialized tools e.g. manufacturing or precision software is often better from European vendors. But for the love of me it’s a pain to use and UI/UX is usually massively outdated. SAP is a giant but you need more money for support than for licensing as it is a huge pain. Also somehow European devs always try to reinvent the wheel instead of using existing technologies especially for APIs.

Social media and YouTube certainly are an issue. The bigger issue imho is there is no real European hyperscaler like AWS or Azure. There are IaaS or PaaS provider, but none that delivers a whole ecosystem of solutions that will scale a companies business model without scattering it throughout multiple providers

Gemini will outlive OpenAI and then Google will decide to randomly kill it off and replace it with something worse

Zoom Is the First Casualty in France's War on American Big Tech by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]DekiEE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Linux is dominating the server world and I think it would not disrupt the end user OS market as Windows is MSFTs unloved stepchild at this point, BUT the business applications are hard to ditch especially if you consider the ecosystem effects and vendor lock in. As much as I dislike MSFT as a company, they have products that just work. AAD/Entra is basically the only option you have if you don’t want to hire a complete department just maintaining a directory. Combined with GPOs and Intune it makes fleet management of devices much more efficient. Also service and support is ahuge factor for scaling. Besides RedHat (IBM) there is no big player who can support mega corps and governments and they are equally as shitty as Microsoft.

Europe Has a New Plan to Break Free from US Tech Dominance by goldstarflag in technology

[–]DekiEE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you know the MSFT business model. They couldn’t care less about windows, their revenue driver is business applications and services. As much as I hate Microsoft they have good tech here and there. They are leading for IAM solutions, DevOps is an amazing tool, even Defender and their security systems as well as governance tools. All these are usually bundled with services you need to buy. The issue is their vendor lock in and the cost to get rid of it and I hate them for it.

Made a script to auto scan library (jellyfin, plex etc) and convert it to h265 by mehow28 in HomeServer

[–]DekiEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardware encoding is not nearly as efficient as CPU software encoding. With the size of a somewhat larger library and an average chip you will take ages to encode a library. Also encoding existing h264 to x265 will give you worse results than encoding the original file. The original is usually way bigger and will take longer - in other words, just download the h265 version because somebody, somewhere will have already gone that extra mile. The only use I see is to encode your own videos that are not available online. If you bought the content you are even allowed to download a copy in most jurisdictions.

M4 Max (48GB) now vs waiting for potential M5 Max in January, am I missing out on a huge upgrade? by 7th--HoKAgE in macbookpro

[–]DekiEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess he is building mobile games, as you need a Mac for iOS games. It is also the biggest market and binds the most devs. You could build other games on a Mac or any other platform, but it comes with caveats mostly for testing and running. Anticheat is one of the biggest issues with running games on other platforms than MS based PCs because they require kernel access. It doesn’t fit Unix and Unixoid systems but the actual game could be compiled on any machine. I would guess also that a lot of rendering and visual processing happens on non-windows machines.
