Oof, and a minecraft server is also constantly writing the world state to disk which will 1000% kill a sd card in a hurry.

Well, shit. This may have led me down a useful path.
So not voltage exactly, but load line calibration adjustments looks like it very much MAY have resolved the issue.
Or at least, I’ve been whacking at it with all the workloads that were unstable and crashing and so far it hasn’t misbehaved at all.
Yeah. You can’t offer a half-secure and half-private platform and expect your average person to be able to figure out which half is which, which leads to crazy misconceptions, misunderstandings, and ultimately just a bunch of wrong and misleading information being passed around.
I’d argue, though, that Telegram probably did this on purpose, and profited GREATLY from being obtuse and misleading.
That’s kind of my comment: pulling from Reddit is probably pointless. If you’re still on reddit at this point, there’s nothing short of Spez showing up and killing your cat that’s going to make you leave.
The Fediverse in general needs to think about being more than just a ‘we copied twitter’, and a ‘we copied youtube’, and a ‘we copied instagram’ and of course a ‘we copied reddit’ collection of things, because you can’t pull people from the thing you’re copying unless you’re better in some way that a normal person will care about.
And I use all these fedi-things to the (mostly) exclusion of the commercial versions, but if we’re being very honest, they’re all carrying a lot of rough edges still.
The Fediverse needs to be able to define and sell itself to people without having to say ‘we’re like x’. If you can’t explain what you’re doing and why someone should care in a way that makes them care, nobody will.
(This is what I get for spending time with people who do marketing stuff, I guess, lol.)
New headline: Republicans dismayed Trump literally did exactly what everyone knew Trump was going to do
The cool thing is we don’t have to go through this pissing contest!
Except we do, because we keep electing people to congress who wouldn’t be qualified to mop the floor at the local mcdonalds, and this is what happens when you send idiots to lead a nation.

So maybe it’s just me, but if you have to make promises of spending a billion dollars so that the government will let you buy your next biggest competitor, perhaps you’re already too damn big and don’t need to be gobbling up your entire industry?
Like I said, just a thought.
At the moment, essentially.
The way Google got carrier buy-in for yet another messaging platform was to basically run it for them at no charge.
The carriers COULD run their own RCS infra, but if you’re getting the milk for free, why buy the cow?
It’s still a quality-at-a-given-bitrate deficient.
If you’re doing temporary encoding for like, streaming, or something where real-time encoding performance matters it’s still probably the way to go, but if you’re wanting to create high-quality archival stuff it’s still not quite as good as your other options.
Granted, x265 on the cpu is probably still the way to go (excepting maybe if you’re doing AV1 on an ARC gpu), but nvenc and qsv still outclass AMF.
Wish AMD would get a little more serious and bring that up to par, but they seem to be waffling on what they even want to do for consumer gpus so I’m not really holding my breath here.
I mean, by themselves, nothing.
The issue is the posting and visibility requirements for a Mastodon post lead to some ugly garbage when translated here. You get shit like
@community @user1 @user2 @otheruser Yep, I agree, this could be better #hashtag #hashtag2 #hashtag3 #hashtag4
Which uh, is not really parsed in any meaningful way, and is 75% noise when put into the format Lemmy uses for a post and/or reply.
I mean, I’m not opposed to more users from larger platforms, but right now it’s a shitty experience for Mastodon users trying to follow a Lemmy community, and it’s a shitty experience for Lemmy users when a Mastodon user posts into a community too.
You need BOTH sides to make concessions and fixes and changes to make the experience not shit, and like, that will is just plain not there.
I also agree that the use cases of the platforms are wildly different and that leads to some added friction, but if the software actually interoperated well you could probably fix that with just polite social pressure.
But, well, neither side of this “interoperability” is… useful, and Mastodon doesn’t seem interested to fix it.
I also think recruiting new users might be a more useful use of time than trying to just rely on poaching them from somewhere else, but uh, I couldn’t tell you really how that should or could be done.
I’ll second that: every single issue I’ve had with any of the Pis that are around here have all been bad sd cards.
They’re useful if you’re using an OS that doesn’t ever write to them, but as soon as you’re using a full Linux distro or running software that is writing logs or data, they’re going to fail and probably sooner than later and, of course, at the most annoying time possible because it’s a computer and that’s their thing.
Assuming you mean commercial DVDs, handbrake+libdvdcss.
It’s pretty much ‘insert disk, hit button, wait some amount of time, video file!’
Would recommend, however, that you do not use AMF (AMD) for encoding, and just stick to QSV/NVENC/x264/x256 because AMD’s quality is uh, less than stellar and you probably want the best possible quality for archiving your DVDs.
Eeh, I think you’re rose-colored-glasses-ing the Steam/Steamdeck thing.
That’s absolutely a near-monopoly using their near-monopoly money to make a platform, for a service, to sell you software.
Just because they’re more friendly appearing, doesn’t mean they’re any less interested in lock-in and revenue generation from the lock-in on the hardware that’s running their platform.
And just to veer this off before a WELL AKSHULLY shows up: you can run arbitrary software on the Steamdeck, yes. You can also do that on Apple hardware, or in Windows or whatever, and that doesn’t invalidate their general business model of trying to be the trifecta.
Don’t do that, please: there’s less than no reason to make your entire password vault accessible on the public internet.
Vaultwarden is probably secure, and the vault data is probably encrypted in a way that’s not vulnerable, but I mean, why add the attack surface?
Yeah yeah, exceptions, but if you legitimately have an exception you already know it and I’d bet that the vast majority of people don’t, or would be much better served by a VPN tunnel than just rawdogging an argo tunnel.
Meh, you never could trust them.
Group chats were NEVER encrypted, so I’m surprised that people are just now figuring out that if it’s not encrypted = people can read it.
If it wasn’t a 1:1 “secret chat” encrypted message, then congrats, you weren’t as opsec-y as you thought you were.
I have a question, and I’m legitimately asking in good faith, because I am confused by this obsession about Mastodon compatibility.
Basically, why?
Mastodon doesn’t give a shit about being a good citizen and very much has issues they’ve said they won’t fix. And frankly, if Mastodon devs don’t appear to care, why is everyone else so concerned about it?
Let them silo into their own little safe space, and maybe push people to use other platforms that ARE willing to be good Fedi-citizens.
(Also I hate how Masto-user posts show up with the @s and endless hashtags: they don’t conform to how Lemmy posts look and work, and I’d legitimately consider just blocking all the Mastodon posters until they don’t look and feel weird and out of place.)
Yeah the goofy thing is it pass any length of memtest I care to toss at it, and will happily run prime95 forever with zero issues.
And then immediately have apps crash or freeze or otherwise misbehave.
Like, something is wrong, but nothing is actively broken, which is just… annoying, heh.
The MSI board has been a source of less than enjoyable usage, but it’s almost exclusively tied to the super super long POST times and the fact that, sometimes, it just… doesn’t. Hard to know if the 90+ second wait is the normal 90 second wait, or if it’s actually not going to turn on for some reason.
It’s fine other that little quirk, at least as far as I can tell.
As a slight side note, that really only directly applies to people in the US.
Other countries have different requirements around what you’re required to do, and some are stricter and some are uh, not as strict.
