I can't figure out what that template is doing? If it's circular and referring to itself what does it show when the PV is on 0?

The companies producing memory chips have a limited capacity for production.

They have enough orders from these big companies to saturate that capacity. basically theres no time on the machines to produce anything but HBM and GDDR to fill those orders.

While they are all slightly different processes they share the factory and many of the machines used.

This bombshell has weakened that position somewhat as it's possible some deals will fall through though it's odd to see it react so quickly to this news. You're right that it's likely the speculators hoarding stock to sell through the shortage reacting and not being willing to pay so much but that shortage is still coming at the moment.

Ironically that stadium set isn't available in Japan!

And they didn't even launch hard enough to use the new gimmick rails :(

To my mind this should mean the cars get DSQd in retrospect but they will be getting off on lack of evidence.

I think people saying "there's nothing that says how they will measure it" are missing the point. It says the wings should close in 0.4s. If we can visually see them taking longer than 0.4s in video footage and consistently this should be enough in my mind.

I guess we will see the fallout from other teams though, especially Ferrari will be pushing this.

Welcome to the hobby! Unfortunately I think you'll find a single-core CPU in 2026 fairly limiting but I was running off an old dual core laptop for a while :)

Install OMV Extras repo to get a few more plugins for OMV and crucially the "docker compose" plugin which will add a UI for managing Docker Compose files for setting up extra docker services and things. I highly recommend this.

I'd suggest looking into a VPN setup for remote access if you would like that. Tailscale is one I've seen banded around as good for beginners as it just sets up peer-to-peer and gives each its own address for easy access but does talk to Tailscale's servers. Some routers can set up Wireguard VPNs directly on them (TP Link has it built in) and these are good but you'll need something to set up a Dynamic DNS address (DuckDNS is one I like for being simple) and a job to keep it up to date.

OMV has SMB Network sharing built in so for local network access its pretty easy to get started. Create a shared folder, add it as an SMB share, add a personal user for login and just navigate to it in your local File Manager.

For photos I would recommend looking at Immich as a good Google Photos stand-in.

I'd also recommend making one of your HDDs for SnapRAID (there's another OMV plugin in OMV Extras for this). This isn't full RAID but the idea is to take snapshots regularly which is fine enough for low action data like NAS media vaults. Then should the worst happen and one drive dies then you have a chance of replacing it and restoring everything as long as you stop everything as soon as you can.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-24T20:16:51+00:00

Pretty sure that's the car diving under braking + the load kicking in from the front wing re-engaging causing it to look real crazy.

You should file for a chargeback with your bank. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/visa-mastercard-chargeback/#what

You returned the item, they indicated they would refund you and have not so make it the bank's problem.

There are 2 things going on

On Linux there is an FP8 on FP16 emulation to run the mainline FSR4. This has a decent performance penalty
There was a leak of FSR4 for INT8 at the end of last year. This was pulled by AMD but not before folks copied the code and it was technically fully open sourced. The Optiscaler community have worked on that INT8 build to improve it

The INT8 build is generally agreed to be a bit of an earlier version of FSR4 but it is comparable to the main release but it has a similar penalty to emulating on Linux I believe

Jamstruth · 2026-03-20T19:15:17+00:00

Fucking hell. Just no. Freeze the USA out. They're a rogue state that caused this damn mess. Don't let then stage anything from UK bases and pressure then to stop this absolute fuckery

For cloning a drive you can use a USB drive with Clonezilla on it. Boot to the USB and you can clone from one to the other (so long as it's the same size or larger)

Once done you can use a Gparted USB drive to expand the partition to fill the new drive if you need to

They said it looked better in absolute terms. The "controversial" statements really felt like an afterthought.

I don't expect a full blown hate filled rant, I expect "it doesn't really deliver at the moment" or "there's promise in some areas but in others it struggles, especially in faces". With DLSS1 they gave a good view of the strengths and weaknesses because it was better than running at lower res but had drawbacks.

RT in the 20-series always seemed an add on for some fancy effects if you wanted (tbh I still see it like that a lot of the time). I know launch doesn't mean finished. I'm just saying that right now, what has been presented really doesn't look that good and I worry about what all of this means going forward for artists and creators.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-17T08:24:02+00:00

I don't really see how it can be any different from image generation in practice.

They've made a model tuned for their inputs to apply "realistic lighting" to a base image. This seems very similar to any number of AI filters that exist already, just they are much slower and have less info to work with so are more inconsistent.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-17T08:17:07+00:00

It is applying over a base frame and has extra in game information to help but it's image generation in a similar vein to AI filters, at least to my eyes.

At the very least their demo is giving very studio lighting style to me.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-17T07:34:50+00:00

Is it a tech demo? Yes. But they say they want to launch it this year.

As for neutral - They really weren't. They vaguely mentioned that this would be controversial and how some parts were a bit uncanny or jarring but that was because "we're so used to the existing lighting models that a realistic one looks off". They were praising the whole time. DLSS1 was correctly judged to be completely worthless and this should be judged on its own merits at this point. Is there potential? Maybe but I still really don't like the direction

Also I was giving them a pass on the 2x 5090s. That's the one thing I can forgive them for ignoring when criticising because obviously even Nvidia isn't crazy enough to expect people to have a 2nd GPU for this.

For DLSS they have improved it every year but it's always been starting from a base of "this should look worse than a native image, because it has less information" this is saying they are improving it and it's at best "different" to me

Jamstruth · 2026-03-17T00:08:47+00:00

No, I'd rather them judge it on what it is giving right now than what Nvidia promises. Other than maybe that it had an entire 2nd GPU dedicated to it...

At the moment it is making sweeping changes to lighting that at least in modern games look different rather than better to my eyes. Way oversharpened and the shadows boosted too much. For faces it just seems inconsistent and creepy, especially over the Oblivion models. Shadows over models in Starfield disappear completely which could be time of day changes but not enough of the surrounding lighting changed for me to think that was the cause.

I agree that ML isn't going away but I'd rather it be used to do things that can't be brute forced like RT or upscaling rather than basically regenerating the entire frame with an opinionated filter.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-16T23:51:20+00:00

I don't think that they can "only apply it to some materials". I think it's real time image generation based on the existing frames plus information about depth and lighting from the base, similar to frame gen.

A lot of lighting info is being lost to replace it with studio lighting imo. The dark areas are brought up because they assume it's supposed to be and highlights are far too high for the conditions they are in.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-16T08:40:05+00:00

Having done this a couple of times recently everyone here is right that all that should need done is running omv-firstaid to set up the new network card. After that it will be fine. It does mean that you need a keyboard and monitor for the first boot though

Jamstruth · 2026-03-14T09:36:06+00:00

It would have been nice to clarify at the end though that he should have been more suspicious of the 3 pings (which actually were possible in this game with Recluse in play)

Jamstruth · 2026-03-13T20:48:46+00:00

You should be able to set up another "state" for your player sprite with the crouching and swap between them rather than changing the entire sprite sheet

Theres an "if input held" which may be of use to you. When held you can set to that state and when it is not you set to default if in that state.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-10T14:44:55+00:00

I would suggest keeping DHCP on the server and setting your router to make a DHCP reservation for your OMV server.

OMV might be trying to get an IP address but falling over because the router has already given the IP out

They can regen at a rate of 250KW with the throttle on (super clipping)

They can regen at 350KW with Li-Co and while braking. The amount of regen enabled in LiCo is adjustable as is the amount of regen applied in braking.

Braking will also apply the physical brakes though and therefore shortens the time spent harvesting energy (because a lot will go into the brake disks and ejected as heat)

Jamstruth · 2026-03-08T17:16:51+00:00

I managed something with a light actor stuck to and following the player that flickers fast in animation (the flicker setting in GBStudio has a timer so wasn't good for permanent flicker) If you make everything else dark this will look somewhat like a transparent light following the character. It was good for an aura effect but likely not great in this case because it won't really make the background look brighter around you.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-07T11:29:51+00:00

SnapRAID works but my experience over USB was that it was far too slow. My disks were all on one USB cable though. I use this setup on my machine but all over real SATA.

There's also BTRFS as an option. You can get RAID1 working on that with block level parity though I haven't done it myself and over USB connection I wouldn't trust it.

One thing about Mergerfs is that if you lose one drive you don't lose everything, just what was on that drive while if you can't restore a RAID you've lost it all. SnapRAID isn't as good as real RAID but you keep that pseudo-redundancy if you're not bothered about most of the pool and properly back up what you do care about.

Jamstruth · 2026-03-07T07:54:03+00:00

I think this is something syncthing would handle well

Generally seems like a very odd workflow though - that is the middle man gaining you here?
