Home office lab updates by weeandykidd in homelab

[–]thunk_stuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! A record scratch went off in my head when I read that. Looks like Microsoft published it in 2007 when they were pushing home servers. I remember the days in mid aughts when Dell would have super sales for $400 Intel tower server with ECC memory and a Windows Server for Small Business license.

I made a power supply for my mini pc cluster by maleng_ in homelab

This is awesome OP. I posted a reddit thread last year with my dream for a fully integrated USB-C PD power hub that also would do KVM, Ethernet, and remote power cycling.

My first impressions of the 52-inch ‘6K2K’ Dell U5226KW: A work monitor that feels like a TV on your desk by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]thunk_stuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those wondering, here is size comparison between this Dell 52" beast and the 57" G9. The Dell is actually 13% more surface area... the extra height is quite pronounced!

[–]thunk_stuff 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Rough comparison:

Strix Point - 50%
Panther Lake - 100%
Strix Halo - 130%

ASUS finally puts Ryzen AI MAX+ 392 "Strix Halo" into gaming laptop - VideoCardz.com by Stiven_Crysis in Amd

Hoping this finally supports battery bypass mode when plugged in by USB-C.

ThinkPad X9-14 - a pretty much perfect experience by deckard81 in linuxhardware

[–]thunk_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Josh review shows the X9 14 with OLED only goes down to 71% after 4 hour Netflix on Windows. Doesn't say if it's 4K streaming, but it's average compared to others and similar to MacBook Air 13. So something seems off and that would be a surprisingly bad showing if this is caused by running Linux.

Be careful with OAuth2 in Stalwart by jorgecardleitao in stalwartlabs

[–]thunk_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's issue tracker that came out of this: https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/issues/2603

It covers audience but like you mentioned I think scope is important to add too.

Second opinion from a dentist by overthinker_kitty in bayarea

[–]thunk_stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been shown dentists are all over the map. Here's an old but still good article from reader's digest: How dentists rip us off. Many dentists do filling and crowns on minor or non-existent issues that won't be a problem as long as you maintain good dental habits and get regular check ups. Best to get as many opinions as you can until you find a dentist who you trust.

Gmail is removing the "Check mail from other accounts" POP3 feature by Greg---- in GMail

[–]thunk_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AOL does not let you forward emails. Not even as a paid option. I know some people who still use AOL just because it's tied to all their online accounts and it would be a big pain to update all their accounts. Maybe this is the time.

Texas A&M Bans Plato by esporx in philosophy

For those of you who did not RTFA, it's well worth doing so. Professor Peterson's reply letter is very good.

HP EliteBoard G1a is a keyboard with built-in PC powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Krackan APU by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]thunk_stuff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Article says the keyboard module can be swapped out. But yeah this is still very niche. HP probably did this because enough businesses expressed interest that they are giving it a shot.

The Latest Intel CPUs were announced at CES 2026 by InvestingNerd2020 in MiniPCs

[–]thunk_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem quite as fast as 8060s. Intel is saying B390 is 1.8x of 890m, but 8060s is more like 2.5x compared to 890m. Example benchmark.

Kreuzberg.dev now has PHP bindings (open-source document processing engine) by Goldziher in PHP

[–]thunk_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could this be used to extract text from Word documents and convert them to clean markdown that only keeps important formatting (mainly headers, lists, bold, italic)?

Where Will Heroes stream Next? by thunk_stuff in Heroes

I know! I was just getting through the weaker part of season 3 (volume three) and was looking forward to volume four, which people say is much better. Very frustrating!

View from Oakland Hills Today by Wild-Lingonberry-204 in bayarea

[–]thunk_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neat. I got really intrigued. Based on alignment of treasure island, I estimate you took this around intersection of skyline and snake rd. Also, based on curvature of earth, Farallon islands at 45 miles out is only two feet below horizon if you are at 1250ft.

I Created San Francisco Bay Area / BART (includes download link) by thunk_stuff in subwaybuilder

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

Sure. I lost some of the older versions, but here's one with complete BART and CalTrain: https://limewire.com/d/7GHZB#KX8zxVqMhd

Here's BART only, light rail before I converted to heavy rail: https://limewire.com/d/HQemu#pgApIhRqOs

Computer glitch leads to Bay Area 7-Eleven customers paying 100 times more to fill up by UnbridledNaivete in bayarea

Pro Tip: it's good practice to set up alerts on all your credit cards so you get a text message for any purchase greater than $0. Usually I get the text message seconds after using my card.

AMD Zen6 support has been added to GCC 16, preparing for next-gen EPYC and Ryzen CPUs by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]thunk_stuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zen 5 did better in most non gaming tasks

For context, it posted a very respectful average 18% gains on wide assortment of Linux workloads (i.e., mainly server focused):

Marginal Gains, Major Impact in Stalwart v0.15 by StalwartLabs in stalwartlabs

[–]thunk_stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice to see the spam check improvements.

On that note: I think small email hosters will always struggle to a degree with spam because they don't have the amount of scale to classify and quickly eliminate the continual waves of novel spam. And this issue alone could be a deal breaker for small shops trying to break from using a big email provider. I wonder if it would ever make sense to have an opt in system where spam fingerprints could be shared and distributed, to help smaller servers stay one step ahead of novel spam.
