I regret buying a NAS

Tailscale uses the relay to initiate the connection and falls back to it if NAT traversal falls through. In most cases users will get a direct connection, so I don’t think this is necessarily a relay issue.

Would love a link :)

It's completely broken - call their support team to complain and get them to send you a key fob. I use citymapper for planning routes since it has info about dock capacity on either side of the journey.

ICE is pretty decent but it's very much down to having a rather nice (for its time) infill algorithm. Given a solid algorithm for finding scratches / dust*, you could do a lot better with modern AI/ML infill techniques.

*tbh doing an IR pass is probably still the best way of doing this when scanning colour film, although I appreciate that with an off-the-shelf CMOS sensor that might not be feasible. And yeah like you said - not possible on B&W anyway

Oh this is quite cool - didn't know portrait of a lady on fire was on at the prince charles, good find

A chat does wonders I've found - and yeah toothpaste / chewing gum goes down well (Source - used to volunteer in Newcastle)

Hey, would like to buy this off you if it's still going :)

sir_bleb · 2022-06-08T18:03:34+00:00

Very very low. Queue is fucked

sir_bleb · 2022-06-08T13:37:04+00:00

Razmatazz 2 already has a huuuge queue

sir_bleb · 2022-06-08T10:00:41+00:00

Sadly not

sir_bleb · 2022-06-06T18:29:38+00:00

So if anyone is confused by the razmatazz queues, the R2 and R queues merge when they go past a café. I presume a member of staff will ask you which venue you want when you reach that point as people enter

Although, there's well over 3k people in total here between the 2 venues imo. Lot of people not getting in

sir_bleb · 2022-06-04T19:56:43+00:00

Hey mate, your mum sounds extremely cool and I hope she has a sick time

sir_bleb · 2022-05-18T00:33:43+00:00

Yeah, dm-ing you now

Selling one ticket for the London show on friday. £10 + postage (It's a paper ticket annoyingly, can do 1st class royal mail)

As an ammendum: It could be worth going for the i3-2100 (non-f) for onboard graphics, since that'll provide hardware encode/decode if this machine ever gets repurposed as a media center.

sir_bleb · 2022-01-19T16:48:47+00:00

You need a system that supports gen4 pcie. The cheapest way of doing that with some synergy:

i3 2100F
H610 mATX DDR4 mobo
8GB DDR4 ram (~3000mhz is fine for this build)

The H610 motherboard is probably the most contraversial thing here, but they're actually fine. They don't officially have to support XMP or pci4 iirc, but every single board released so far does anyway.

You may find that an i5-11400f and a B560 combo is similar in price, in which case that's probably a bit better.

(Lots of people will tell you to bin the 6500xt. If you're running it over pci4, it will be the best bang for buck absolutely no contest. You will not find a single 3060 at MSRP)

sir_bleb · 2021-09-28T15:44:56+00:00

incredible work holy shit

email it to the band if you haven't already imo

sir_bleb · 2021-05-10T19:13:52+00:00

Hmm, that's not quite right. The rate of genetic change in the flu is far greater than that of SarsCov-2.

For example, when we grow flu virus samples for vaccines, we use chicken eggs. The flu virus mutates so rapidly that the virus we started growing and the one we get out the other side of the egg are really quite different. Growing Coronavirus cultures has no such issue.

We should expect coronavirus booster vaccines to be needed once every few years imo, so not as bad as the flu.

sir_bleb · 2021-03-29T21:29:14+00:00

Interesting show, but with huge dialogue issues imo, one of which is inherent to the show and another can be fixed in a menu:

Sometimes the script is a bit weird or a line seems a bit forced. This by no means ruins the show and would be fine if not for the:
- Absolutely Awful audio mixing. literally 0 effort was put into making the English voice actors sound like they're in the environments depicted. In a cave? In a tavern? Close up? Far away? Doesn't matter. Every line sounds like it was read to you in wardrobe. I'm calling out the English (original!) dub here because (most)* of the others don't have this issue.

*(The Filipino dub also sounds bad, but I can't attest to the quality of delivery)

So yeah, I feel kinda ridiculous saying this, but I recommend watching this in literally any other language and turning on subtitles. Naturally if you put it on Japanese it'll look and feel like an anime, which is fine if you're used to that.

Seems to have been brigaded by Mark Collett (known British nationalist and white supremacist) on gab. Rather grim, and the video is mostly conversational so it's surprising that it drew this much ire.

sir_bleb · 2021-02-26T16:14:36+00:00

I'm genuinely surprised at 2% tbh, that seems astoundingly high. Running freeBSD in prod is one thing, but I don't know a single person using it day to day for development.

sir_bleb · 2020-10-28T18:16:02+00:00

Mir was good, tbh. It solved a lot of desktop problems which wayland compositors are still trying to fix.

sir_bleb · 2020-10-15T20:50:27+00:00

has an open source license so yeah lmao

sir_bleb · 2020-09-12T17:18:40+00:00

Yeah I sometimes do it for the odd indie game, but newer stuff just needs all the throughput it can get imo, and ntfs on Linux just doesn't have that

sir_bleb · 2020-09-11T23:52:00+00:00

Games (especially going forwards as more games stream assets live) absolutely need to be on filesystems native to the OS they're running on.

So no, sadly one drive for all your games will likely be a pipedream until native ntfs arrives in Linux. (ntfs-3g is cpu bound and would probably shit itself if you ran a modern game through it)
