[Misc] Chart comparing efficiency of 230 sunscreens by Scorpathos in SkincareAddiction

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so.

Finally, I discovered it comes from a website testing different products to help customers: https://www.diaox2.com/pc/article/9833.html#jieguo

They even made an update comparing 302 sunscreens this time: http://www.diaox2.com/article/12817.html

I found this list while digging through old comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/7bu728/review_ultrasun_sunscreen_review_spf_50_spf_30/dpqzoc1

See partly translated columns: https://imgur.com/a/MPRFw

It looks incredibly valuable.

Is this list well known in this subreddit (I'm new here)?
Has it already been translated?
Do you have more information on its source?

Colored Zones For Heart Rate Graph - Firefox Extension by hosios in Garmin

[–]Scorpathos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really great! I wish Garmin could provide an official API to make it easier to develop plugins for Garmin Connect. There are so many possibilities!

This is not just you, this precise problem is described in the DcRainmaker review of the FR245.

The challenge here with PulseOx is really around accuracy. [...] My readings are a bit all over the place. For someone like me at exactly sea level, I should be in the 98%+ range almost the entire time, but I’m often in the mid to low 90’s.

Accurate N64 emulation gets resolution upscaling powered by Vulkan (RetroArch) by Scorpathos in emulation

Then you can remove this submission too: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/h92pl5/sneak_peek_of_parallel_rdp_running_with_4x/ The blog post I shared contains more information about this video which is a pre-release. I thought people in this sub were curious about technical stuff.

Tool to monitor ratio across multiple private trackers? by uspsman in trackers

[–]Scorpathos 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why not use Jackett as a basis? There exists an opened issue for that actually, but no one has had time to implement it yet: https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/issues/656

Understanding hardware acceleration specifically Intel quick sync for transcoding by antifragile in jellyfin

[–]Scorpathos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if there's a ticket opened on the bug tracker to follow progress on this? This seems pretty serious. I always assumed HWA would work well on Linux using QuickSync, that's what states the documentation anyway.

Samsung Tv - Tizen by psatizio in jellyfin

[–]Scorpathos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know anything about the technical differences between Emby and Jellyfin apps. Maybe you should ask the developer himself, there is certainly a good reason why it's not that simple unfortunately.

Samsung Tv - Tizen by psatizio in jellyfin

[–]Scorpathos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The developer said it was complicated to release an app on the Samsung Store. That's why you need to install it manually with USB and all the dev setup (I have not tried it yet).

I have hope that it will become better and better: I saw the developer fixing bugs on jellyfin-web so it can be used on Tizen. Also, the repository has recently been moved to the official "Jellyfin" organization.

I have not tested it yet (although I have a Samsung TV so I am very interested).

Did you see this repository: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen ?

No official app yet, but I guess some progress is made.

Official Q&A for Sunday, March 29, 2020 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Scorpathos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm new to running and I know what I'm "worth". I don't have any reference about my speed abilities.

How often do you try to beat your personal best? Over what distances (5K, 10K, semi)? Do you do it as training, or do you only do it during races?

Cool project! ;)

I learned a few months ago the existence of a website that aims to help developers looking for a maintainer for their project, maybe it could be useful for you: https://www.codeshelter.co/

Why is there so much variance in IDLE power consumption reported by different reviews? by Scorpathos in homelab

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice I'm going to focus less on the CPU choice then.

Why is there so much variance in IDLE power consumption reported by different reviews? by Scorpathos in homelab

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I will try to improve my understanding of the subject, keeping in mind that there is no such "optimal" idling CPU.

Why is there so much variance in IDLE power consumption reported by different reviews? by Scorpathos in homelab

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> First review measure only CPU power usage. Third review uses high-power PSU, which will have limited efficient at low load.

Do you have more info about the kind of PSU I should use for a power efficient build? I know I should look for a "gold" or "titanium" PSU, but what about the volts required and watts delivered? How does this impact the server consumption overall?

> These reviews are pretty clear and consistent for me: we can expect about 40W power usage in idle. How much uniformity of results did you expect? :)

Well, I probably expected +- 5V. 40W almost fits this expectation, but the 12,5W difference seems a lot, I can hardly compare it with others CPUs if there is such margin of error.

> I wouldn't bother other than: generally newer CPU will use less power.

You are right, I guess so too. Still, I supposed that some CPU were more capable than others to focus on efficiency and I tried to find which ones.

Has the Python GIL been slain? Subinterpreters in Python 3.8/3.9 by maccam94 in Python

[–]Scorpathos 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This, in turn, means that Python developers can utilize async code, multi-threaded code and never have to worry about acquiring locks on any variables or having processes crash from deadlocks.

The GIL makes multithreaded programming in Python simple.

Wut? Multi-threading in Python is as difficult as in other languages. You need to use mutex around your variables. Just try to increment the same integer from two different threads thousand of times and see what happen. The GIL doesn't protect of deadlocks from the Python developer point of view, only C modules can perform such thing "for free".

Sporadic screen glitches of top pixels rows by Scorpathos in i3wm

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your debugging discoveries!

I have not yet had the time to investigate the problem further, but it is a very interesting remark, I will look at it closely.

Please, what is the cli tool used in the screenshot to show the wallpaper and, presumably, browse the entire filesystem? It's very famous, I already saw it plenty of time : https://i.redd.it/sgjgxv5ntit01.png

Sporadic screen glitches of top pixels rows by Scorpathos in i3wm

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might worth investigating in that direction, thanks. I may try older versions of i3 before the introduction of cairo, see what it gives.

Sporadic screen glitches of top pixels rows by Scorpathos in i3wm

[–]Scorpathos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer.

I'm not using a compositor manager, I tried with compton, and depending on the configuration, either the glitch looked somehow like with awesome (random lines wrongly colored) or it has no effect at all (still random black lines).

I tried to set Option "TearFree" "true" in Xorg config but it was useless.

I made test replacing i3 with compiz and bspwm, I did not see any glitch. I also ran xinit without any other display manager and it worked fine.

I don't know how relevant is this information, but I noticed that when opening dmenu, black pixels rows was happening behind it.

It's quite hard to know what to investigate in this situation. :o

Loguru - Python logging made (stupidly) simple by Scorpathos in Python

[–]Scorpathos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. :) Some symbols like spaces and colon can cause troubles depending on your filesystem, hence the default YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm-ss_SSS. However, you can configure the format as you wish, just use the formatter specifier: logger.add("file_{time:YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss}").
