    I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

    Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

    A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

    Vs

    A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

    I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

    Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

    Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.


  • Yes but that whole line of a few years also suffered many breaking bugs from HMD like media sound being completely borked in an update and crackling and unusable for literally months before they fixed it. WhatsApp voice messages were hell for 4-5 months.

    Or the USB port being so low quality that there were rampant replacements needed after as little as 6 months (my own 7.1 needed 5 replacement USB ports in the 2 years I used it. Never had that from a phone before or after)

    Or the short battery life after an update second to only the HTC 10’s rapid battery drain bug.

    The 2018-2019 HMD years were really rough for software as far as phone usability, plus the bad USB-C part number they continued using during that time.

    Otherwise they were decent looking, decent performing, cheaper phones with bad cameras.









  • I just had a big fall on my electric bike this spring.

    There was a brick sticking out of the brick bike path and I flipped over the handlebars into the street. It was the one day I forgot to grab my helmet leaving for work.

    My hands got a bit cut up and my shoulder was slightly bruised, but I was completely fine! I only got a yellow belt in judo years ago so falling and basic throws are all I learned, but that probably saved my ass from getting a hurt elbow, wrist, or hitting my head.



  • It’s because their pain is very real, their struggles are very real, their feelings are very often valid, and they understand the concrete impact that it has had on them and their way of life.

    They can’t abstract that out and critically think about why that is the case, so they just repeat what an authority told them and is easy for them to understand.

    I don’t know though if it is simply a lack of education or an inherent human solipsism that is hard to break through.

    It is the same the world over, even before TVs when newspapers brought the news, and before that anything written down was true because “priests and scholars definitely wouldn’t lie.” That is why extremely strict factual news laws have to be brought into effect with anyone caught lying bearing fines based on a percentage of their revenue to combat fascism that is based wholly on fear fabrication. The problem is, of course, policing that correctly as for example an American Trump regime would simply use those laws to say that anything they don’t like is not true (they they do anyway now).


  • Do you have the Intel drivers installed on your machine? Are GuC and HuC working?

    sudo reboot
    sudo dmesg | grep i915
    sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
    sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info
    

    On Debian I had to manually download the i915 full driver Zip, extract it, take out the Intel drivers, and put it in /usr/lib/firmware

    Then hardware acceleration worked on my Arc380.

    If you use QSV, your CPU iGPU will be the one that can use it, so make sure to set your render device in docker to the iGPU and not the RTX 2060


  • All of which the new sodium batteries solve. Massively improved cycle life, completely safe, and the environmental cost is a tiny fraction of what it is with lithium-based.

    I don’t get why there aren’t 50 companies rushing to produce it at-scale for in-place batteries. They should be chomping at the bit trying to get government contracts to install massive battery parks.

    Maybe it is just too new that they want to see how the small batteries do in the field.




  • That is a completely separate issue from the above commenter.

    You absolutely cannot get 2FA authenticator codes from 90% of services

    A shockingly large amount of companies demand phone numbers and send verification texts before allowing you to do business with them, to create an account, to recover an account, to delete an account, to place an order, etc.

    They really shouldn’t, it’s a bad security practice but companies love it because with a phone number they can lower support costs by just allowing people to do a self-service where they get an automated text and can unlock their locked account.

    Also an issue, but indeed a separate issue from using unsecure SMS as TOTP.
