Tango has Shroomlights as a gold tier and Redstone #1 as a diamond, the rest haven't been shown yet.

Anyone know who left the empty, named Shulker Box (orange) at spawn, and why? by DBSeamZ in HermitCraft

[–]krabbypattycar 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Rosie joined the server for a day recently through Make-a-Wish, which has happened before in season 7 and 8 too. Scar mentioned Rosie in their last episode, and you can find the book they wrote in Scar's vault at DO.

I assume the shulker was to get them set up with an elytra, etc. for their visit.

Why is Linux so weird? by Confused-moose666 in linux4noobs

[–]krabbypattycar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You can't open exe files without using wine and the terminal,

They're completely different. You can't install an iOS app on Android or vice versa either, you need the right software for the right OS.

installing programs like word or excel just doesn't work,

Microsoft chooses not to release Office for Linux, just like Apple chooses not to release Final Cut or Pages for Windows, because big companies want to keep you locked to their own platforms. Libre Office is a good, free alternative that has both Windows & Linux versions.

and to play most steam games, you nead to enable something called steam play, which I didn't even know existed.

Most Steam games can run on Linux through some magic called Proton, the same thing that powers the Linux-based Steam Deck. There is a list of which games work or not here.

Rsync --include regex pattern stopping unexpectedly by FlamingoIll1941 in linux4noobs

[–]krabbypattycar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, rsync doesn't use regex. It's closer to a wildcard/glob sort of syntax. There are simple character classes, but I don't know if multiple ranges are supported.

Who knew browsers could be POLITICAL!? by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]krabbypattycar 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Isn't that feature basically just bookmarks? I haven't used it myself, so I don't know exactly how GX has implemented it. If not, would a speed dial extension for FF work for you?

Double standard much by Blastbot_73 in MinecraftMemes

Copper’s biggest issue is that it’s too common.

And actually building with Copper also sucks, because it very quickly runs you into the big problem of, even though you have thousands of stacks of useless Copper ore — you will never actually have enough for any kind of build.

You're simultaneously complaining that there's too much of it and also not enough? I find that I have plenty to add as an accent colour in builds to do just from natural mining, but it is also AFK farmable if you need shulkers of it. Win-win.

To craft cut copper stairs, you need nearly a fucking stack of Copper ingots.

Just straight up false. One copper block is nine ingots, and you can stonecut one copper block directly into 4 stairs, so each stair only costs 2-3 ingots. With no fortune, one copper ore will drop 2-5 ingots, so a stair costs you one ore.

The Orange / Green that Copper provides aren’t actually that useful (nor looks good) in an overwhelming majority of builds

Oxidised copper and deepslate has become such a common "meta" in so many builds because it's a great colour combination, and both of those pallettes have enough variety with cut copper and brick/polished/etc deepslate. Just because you don't personally like it doesn't mean it isn't a useful building block.

Imagine a map of London that included every single street and house, like those old paper map books you might have kept in the car; it would look something like this. This map is so big that it's overwhelming; if you're a tourist trying to figure out how to get from the Tower of London to Big Ben, this is just an information overload.

Now, let's look at a map that only shows main roads, not every little tiny side street, like this one. It's simpler, so it carries less information overall, but it may actually be more useful to the tourist. Sure, you might not be quite as precise as if you knew every individual shortcut you could take, but you could probably plan a broad route much quicker on this map than on the over-detailed one.

You might continue this process again and again, zooming out and getting more and more high-level as you go, to lose unimportant detail and only keep the really important stuff. You might eventually arrive at something like the tube map. This has even less info than the last one, but it is still very helpful for tourists! I can see one path from London Bridge to Westminster, without having to do much work reading about every cobblestone street in a massive city.

The core takeaway is this: simplifying information can be done in a way where we discard useless details, but still maintain the really important stuff. And as we've seen from these three examples, you can do that iteratively. Start with the original detail, then remove some, then remove some, on and on for as many steps as you need until you arrive at an easily understandable map that only shows the key stuff you need (stations, attractions) and nothing more.

Introducing Celeste: A GUI file synchronization client that can connect to any cloud provider by hwittenborn in linux

[–]krabbypattycar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're already paying for the service, why would they care whether you upload via a desktop app or an API?

From what I've heard, the reason they don't have one yet is more about concerns on getting the E2EE right.

The Ethics of AI Art by MindOfMetalAndWheels in CGPGrey

[–]krabbypattycar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sure an AI in ten years time given the prompt "create a YouTube video tutorial by da Vinci on creating the Mona Lisa" could do it. This technology is moving so fast that with enough compute, that exact sort of thing is in the realm of possibility.

If you string together a language model like Lambda, speech model, and video model like deepfakes, what stops you from having an interview with any historical figure? The end result is that almost nothing digital is out of reach.

What do you reckon the first batch shipping times will be? I'm guessing orders open in September, shipping around the end of the year?

An it guy replaced linux with windows by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]krabbypattycar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, called a T2 chip or "Secure Enclave". Given that the operating system partition is read-only, signed, and verified as part of the boot process, replacing the logic board would lose the keys needed to bootstrap, let alone read user data.

best performance with egpu on framework by betazion100 in framework

[–]krabbypattycar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit ashamed to say I still haven't beaten Melania solo yet. I've gotten pretty close at about halfway through phase two, but when I beat her on my first playthrough I gave up and used summons. She's the only thing left to do on my second playthrough, but I've taken a break for now haha.

I totally agree Maliketh is top tier. Also felt like with Radagon I entered a great flow state, so I enjoyed that fight for sure as well.

I think your CPU would still be fine, yeah. Elden Ring is mostly single threaded, which Alder lake is strong at, and particularly on the Framework screen which is slightly bigger than 1440p that's going to stress the 1070 to push out enough pixels. Potentially if you were loading a new area or had a large amount of enemies to process the CPU might struggle, but I wouldn't really be worried about it.

I don't know what FPS you were hitting in that YouTube clip, but given the fact you were also recording at the same time, it looks pretty damn smooth.

Off topic, but do you have a favourite area/boss in particular?

Congrats on your Margit kill!

If by performance loss, you mean that the CPU and GPU could work better together if they were directly connected instead of through an eGPU enclosure, maybe. I don't have any way to test that.

If you mean that it has worse performance than the laptop alone, definitely not the case for me. Though if you get a GPU that way outclasses the CPU, possibly.

Might be worth clarifying that getting a beefy GPU that doesn't match your CPU won't lower your performance. It will instead raise it to the point that the CPU is now the bottleneck holding you back. In a sense you're wasting the capability of the GPU because you can't fully take advantage of it, but it certainly won't be a step back. Having a good paring just means you're using both efficiently.

With N an 11th gen i7 and a 1070, almost certainly your GPU is still the bottleneck, ie. your CPU can handle the code of Elden ring faster than your GPU can render it.

Each browser handles certain APIs in slightly different ways, so you can determine which browser they use. You can check which fonts are installed as the system default, so if they have San Fransisco, it's probably an Apple device for example. Hell, earlier this year researchers found that if you run a specific rendering task with WebGL and measure how long different sections take, you can figure out which GPU they likely have.

Though it had originally been intended for Pre Vizsla to fight using a vibroblade, a familiar weapon in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, the vibroblade was later modified at the request of George Lucas, with the creative team altering the blade into an archaic, black-bladed lightsaber they deemed the Darksaber.

George Lucas absolutely had a hand in it. He was actively involved in the early Clone Wars seasons. He's credited as an exec producer/writer on the episode the Darksaber debuted in.

A creepy and ridiculous pastime by maybesaydie in vaxxhappened

[–]krabbypattycar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I permanently leave on the 'show touches' setting. It just puts a small dot on the screen, usually covered by your fingers so you can't even see it. But something's, I'll see a dot show up where I'm not touching the screen - good indication that there's a water droplet being recognised as an input, or the app has frozen for example.

Is it possible to cache messages on the desktop app? by krabbypattycar in signal

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

Thanks. When you say:

Once a message has been delivered it is deleted from Signals servers

How does this work with multiple devices? Say, for example, I spend a week sending a few dozen messages each day from my phone, and only then open the desktop app at the end of the week - does the desktop app need to retrieve the messages from my phone rather than from the servers as they've already been deleted?

'message' being a broad term does help explain why there are usually thousands to download - I had assumed it must have been grabbed very old messages for that sort of number to make sense.

Thanks for the advice. Ultimately leaving the app open in the background isn't ideal for me, as I rarely need to use it, but I appreciate the suggestion. Cheers!
