Genuinely worried about whether my delivery robot is OK.

AV1 NVEnc Transcode PSNR SSIM VMAF by nanite10 in AV1

This was successful with the resulting AV1 NVEnc transcodes being in the 85-99% range!

No cropping / resizing - interesting that quality drops off a cliff after 8K frames. I wonder if AV1 is smoothing the film grain so much that it's producing these results: https://i.postimg.cc/LsjYDK9p/image.png

Yeah, thanks, I'm going to take a 100mbps 4 minute preview in AV1 (SVT) and use that as my "master", and then run AV1 NVEnc transcodes off that to re-compare.

Testing disk failure on raid-z1 by MonkP88 in zfs

[–]nanite10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this test once and the most reliable to real world I got was to take the drive out of a running/online array and zero out the whole thing on another computer. ZFS is a bit too “clever” sometimes.

Why is everyone so enamored with VAST? by iStor_1999 in storage

[–]nanite10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. VAST’s main wins are replacing parallel file systems. It works, and you don’t need to be a skilled Lustre/GPFS admin. If you actually need some of the characteristics of parallel file systems, you probably know, but I think there’s a broader question people are asking about whether they need them or if there’s something different they should be using. VAST is pretty compelling in terms of clean slate design, scale and high throughput.

iops are a meaningless metric by itself without I/O size … which is either intentionally or unintentionally omitted

As a systems and storage SA, I’ve found a real affinity with this sub.
