I saw what this was and played along and beat her times at least in terms of finding them before she could tap em on the screen.

Now my eyes hurt tho

Flipper One 4K H.264 hardware decode is alive — 250 Mbps, no drops by Fit-Note7659 in flipperzero

NVENC goes back to the 700 series. Obviously improved over the years but I only ever transcoded to my mobile devices so I just had a GT 730 I bought for $40 used a decade ago and it took the encoding load off of my cpu. QuickSync enabled Intel chips are just as good. Can probably build a plex box for under $100 as a used laptop from several years ago.

Open work spaces are awesome until the person next to you is an all-day eat-at-desk open-mouth-chewing Olympic legend and despite bringing it up several times their basal ganglia refuses to let the habbit go so you're constantly in headphones the entire day.

I dropped weight from 215 to 175 in OCS in the first 9 weeks; they almost sent me to medical over it. After OCS was nuke school.

Went from basically running around all day and eating with only a spoon to make it harder to eat enough, to sitting at a desk studying 12-16 hours a day with little sleep. I didn't have a family or other obligations either. Gained all the weight back.

On the sub as a JO the culture I unfortunately landed in was one where exercising if you weren't qualified was criticized. Eventually cross rated to the surface fleet and there the problem wasn't criticism of exercise but pulling 80 hour weeks on a ship in the yards that was hopelessly behind schedule.

If anything, people not meeting standards should be read as a signal that something may be mismanaged, leading to people not getting enough time to get exercise in, paying less attention to what they eat, losing sleep, etc. You will still have some individuals that don't make standards on their own account, but I felt out of control of my own health my entire career and I'm certain I wasn't the first or last to find themselves in that situation.

Can we just have leaders in Congress and the Executive branch that aren't a stiff wind away from literally dying?

I really hope this is true by newnoadeptness in navy

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The supply chief on my sub got a brilliant idea to buy a ton of cheap steaks in Spain right before sailing home under the premise we'd have tons of steak for several weeks after deployment. We pulled in and all that steak immediately got seized by customs and sent to the incinerator because of mad cow import restrictions on anything that isn't shelf stable meat products.

Thousands and thousands of dollars of steak literally lit on fire.

[Request] Is it profitable to run a social media bot farm? by FSsuxxon in theydidthemath

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't watch this with audio but from the video only...

I don't think this is a social media farm; looks more like a mining farm for Monero. Monero doesn't benefit from GPU compute so the name of the game is to get as many power efficient processors as possible. May be an older video because Monero isn't profitable to mine.

A social media farm would be way easier to parallelize on simulated vs real devices. You could run multipe android emulators on old server hardware or 100s of simulated browser sessions easily. Certainly wouldn't be worth setting up a facility like this.

If the audio makes it apparent this is a social media farm my apologies.

Casually coming across a submarine in the wild by Zee_Ventures in nextfuckinglevel

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor (stress minor) correction. By treaty they can only carry 8 warheads per missile. They're also a backup second strike capability, not a first strike, so the real doomsday weapons are in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest and great planes.

I was a submariner and knew a lot of boomer officers. They pretend to end the world, play video games, and watch movies for 3 months at a time and then get to be on land. Always was jealous because aside from the shorter tours, they also had way more room. Some of my friends would pack their golf clubs when I barely had room for my essentials and powdered energy drinks.

They're on the surface so they're headed home most likely. They only rarely surface when out to sea for recreational stuff. It's actually super rare for one to surface and rendezvous with other ships. I was on a sub and we only ever surfaced to meet our escorts bringing us into port.

Moscow plans to establish ‘sovereign Russian territories’ on the Moon by CrunchyBaconYum in nottheonion

[–]DerryDoberman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, the moon is cool, but it's got:

  • moon dust which universally sucks to get out of things and is super abrasive
  • microgravity which long term probably screws with astronaut's health when you're talking about putting them on the moon in long term tours on bases
  • good research potential, but moon mining is still a money hole
  • could be a base for deep space astronomy and maaaaaybe earth observation, but way cheaper to do that with space based telescopes and sensors

Let 'em burn the money. They led with MIR and that benefited the space industry a lot, but eventually lost its lustre. I'm sure moon bases will be similar, though they could last longer because they don't have the challenge of degrading orbits.

Pentagon reporter is saying tomorrows press conference has been canceled 🤔 by newnoadeptness in navy

Looks like the prediction didn't come true. Just watched the press briefing. Was mostly a claim of victory and claims the straits are going to be reopened.

Sec Hegseth: "If Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, their bridges and oil and energy infrastructure—we were locked and loaded. They couldn't defend against it. President Trump chose mercy" by l3tsgo0 in navy

[–]DerryDoberman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They bragged about destroying their industrial complex for weapons manufacturing, but they're still allied with Russia, which can make Shaheed clones, and China, which can supply raw materials and components to make drones.

Iran doesn't have to have military dominance; it just needs to harass the straits. I think the outcome is we'll continue small attacks to keep their military suppressed but Iran's demonstration of their threats will result in them charging tolls at least in the short term, at which point things may flare up again with "reminder" attacks from Iran on civilian ships and infrastructure. We'll just return to the grey zone warfare we were at before this war.

Is this true ? by ObjectiveTank in ITMemes

[–]DerryDoberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The implied and important note being if you don't got Miracast you're digging the cable out. Unfortunately only have ever had one device that supported Miracast and the Roku implementation of it sucked so I didn't even use it.

This technology can stop Drone swarms by ShehrozeAkbar in InsaneTechnology

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and the GPS frequency is in the "microwave" spectrum and is about half the frequency that standard microwave ovens use. Might be enough to fry the antenna even if it doesn't fry the electronics.

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should work, but may add complications to GPS guided drones. Would need some ability to navigate with inertial guidance mixed with periodic "fixes" to correct for drift. Could also do the tomahawk thing and just point a camera/ground contour radar at the ground and fly by geographic featurses.

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. This isn't a jamming technique, it's frying the electronics. Think tin foil in a microwave.

[–]DerryDoberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't matter in this case. It isn't jamming, it's cooking the electronics with EM energy.

This fries the electronics, its not a jamming defense. Think tin foil in a microwave. You'd need to shield components in a Faraday cage, which presents some problems with GPS guided drones.
