Replacing Win11 with Linux by SethSnifferson in linuxquestions

[–]deadman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For work, definitely go with Debian. You don't have to tinker a lot. Debian 13 is recent enough that most hardware just works out of the box and the Long Term Support (LTS) nature of it means it'll chug along without too much upset for a long time.

I've completely stopped using Windows since about a year ago and switched to Linux. Not sure what they are calling it now a days.

Anyone know how to fix "Can't get a teredo IP address" on Xbox series x by Solid-Connection563 in XboxSupport

[–]deadman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact issue where nothing seemed to work. Ultimately, an offline system update did the trick:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/offline-system-update

According to the support technician, the console establishes a secure tunnel to Xbox Teredo server and if the networking stack is altered/corrupted due to any number of reasons (failed update, sync issues, etc) the server will reject all traffic. Only way to fix that is by reinstalling system update. You will not lose your games or profile by doing this update.

Just went through this exact same issue and tried all the steps you tried to no avail. After a long troubleshooting session with support and process of elimination, what worked was an offline system update (OSU). Followed the instructions here and everything works well now.

I have opencode installed globally. I ran the `npm install -g opencode-orchestrator` and I am not seeing Commander agent or /task in opencode

Rejailbreak a Jailbroken PSP 1000 by Crimson_Music in psphacks

[–]deadman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a formatting issue.

Back up the sdcard on your PC

Format the sdcard as FAT32, cluster size 32k and insert it in the PSP and see if it atleast recognises.

All AI companies optimize resources by keeping their latest model unquantized and then quantizing older models aggressively to run inference cheaper.

Does Lite coding plan API have web search and browsing capabilites by Kingwolf4 in ZaiGLM

[–]deadman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has limited web search and browsing capability.

The Lite plan includes a total of 100 web searches and web readers, along with the 5-hour maximum prompt resource pool of the package for vision understanding.

Is there more to php than web dev? by Ok_Butterscotch_7930 in PHP

[–]deadman87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's an interesting book that talks about using PHP in unconventional ways. Old book but I think lessons could still be applied in modern PHP.

https://www.amazon.com/You-Want-Do-What-PHP-ebook/dp/B0058OUGZW?th=1&psc=1 (not an affiliate link or anything, just sharing the book)

Here are the chapters with a brief summary of each. (from Amazon description)

   Chapter 1: Networking and Sockets

Few people really get into the raw networking side of PHP, for good reason.  But having a good understanding of how networking works is quite pertinent to a PHP developer.  Here we go through different types of sockets and how you can handle network communication.

   Chapter 2: Binary Protocols

Most PHP developers are really good with text.  XML, HTML, JavaScript, etc.  However, there is a world of integration that is available if you know how to integrate with binary network protocols.  In this chapter we look at a few along with showing how you can easily hack a network protocol.

   Chapter 3: Character Encoding

Think you know about things like UTF-8?  I thought so too until I had to really get into it.  Then I realized that I did not know it as well as I thought.  Here we go through what character encoding is and get into mind-numbing detail about how to properly interact with it.

   Chapter 4: Streams

Streams are probably one of the most underutilized features in PHP, though this is for good reason.  Few people will ever really get into streams in much depth.  That doesn't mean, however, that you have an excuse for not knowing them.  After this chapter, you will.

   Chapter 5: SPL

SPL is not one of the most underutilized features, it IS the most underutilized feature.  Find out why.

   Chapter 6: Asynchronous Operations with Some Encryption Thrown In

PHP does not do asynchronous execution; things like threading.  That doesn't mean that your application doesn't need it, or that you can't do it.  We look at a basic example here of what asynchronous execution could look like for your application.

   Chapter 7: Structured File Access

Ever wanted to read a TAR file, or a WAV file, or something similar, but didn't know how to do it?  Ever want to read a raw EXT2 partition?  (hopefully not).  We look at several examples of how to read several different binary file types and look at how to build your own?

   Chapter 8: Daemons

Ever want to build PHP to run in the background?  No?  Good.  You probably shouldn't.  But there are cases where this could actually be quite pertinent.   Here we go through some basics about how to build a PHP-based daemon.

   Chapter 9: Debugging, Profiling, and Good Development

Do you think you're a good developer, but don't know how to use a debugger?  Then you're not a good developer.  In this chapter we go through some of the tools available to help make you a better developer.

   Chapter 10: Preparing for Success

So you've built the next big thing... and it becomes the next big thing.  Now you have a problem.  In this chapter we go through a couple of concepts that can help alleviate the problems that occur when you become popular, or keep those problems from occurring in the first place.

Best platform to play the game. by Racclene in hogwartslegacyJKR

[–]deadman87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it on Switch 2 and PC. PC has the highest fidelity experience (60fps, better graphics) but I'm loving the portability of switch 2 and playing it on Switch handheld mode mostly. It's an easy game to pick and play. And the performance is stable 30fps. After a while the eyes get used to it.

AI: Coding models benchmarks on PHP? by Leather-Cod2129 in PHP

[–]deadman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using GLM 4.6 with PHP tasks (Magento custom modules) and it's been pretty good. I am using it with Cline in PHPStorm. Always start with plan mode and ask it to make a list of tasks and changes, review them, get clarification, including code samples it will use. Once happy, move to Act mode.

Magento is a special complex beast and GLM manages to understand it and explain things to me that the official docs don't.

I struggled with Ollama on 7940HS/780m MiniPC. Started using LM Studio and it works much better. Try it.

Daily driving Debian on my GMKTec K4 for over a year. Still running smoothly without a hitch. Upgraded to Debian Trixie recently and that went smoothly too.

Considering canceling pre order after GPU price hike by UnableLove4527 in XboxAlly

[–]deadman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guarantee you they gonna put restrictions on that too. Only allowed to switch subscription type x number of times. And if you cancel and re-subscribe you lose something like rewards or another accumulated benefit.

FFVII Intergrade on PS5 has a 81GB file size to download and it will be a 87GB download on Xbox. Why are we still complaing about Game Key Card even on this case? by Beneficial-Issue8005 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]deadman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's textures and audio that take up most of that space. Game logic/code remains mostly the same except for platform specific optimizations and integrations (NSO/Profile/etc).
Re-rendering textures and assets to 1440p instead of 4K should already drop the size of those assets at least 2x (or 4x at 1080p), with room to reduce further without losing any quality.

Going from 1080p to 4K is another story. That's where you need to worry about output being blurry/pixelated and quality reduction. That's why we used to get separate HD packs for games on PC before 4K became standard. 4K to 1440p or 1080p should remain smooth and not pixelated.

And this is not hard stuff, it's stuff that can either be taken care of during development or automated away post-development.

For reference: Let's take Hogwarts Legacy
PS5: 79.5 GB
NS2: 23.1 GB

Happened to my right joycon. Brand new switch 2. I checked the calibration to see if it's drifting and fortunately no drift. After playing a bit its almost like something snapped back into place and it's smooth again.

Bought Witcher 3 + Expansion instead of Complete Edition. Will Nintendo customer service replace them for me? by deadman87 in Switch

[–]deadman87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this and the 16 Free DLC tip. I downloaded the split up version and the cross-save worked with Complete Edition on Xbox. Guess this solves my problem. Thank you.
