A while back I swapped out my crusty old GTX 960 for a RX 7600 and honestly, other than removing the old nvidia drivers and installing the Vulkan drivers, I had to do nothing else and I have 0 issues or complaints.

God damn it, that thing look gorgeous! And now I want it.

(for the people that want to know, pricing is 1045 euro for EU citizens and 878,15 euro for non-EU citizens)

What makes you say that ?

This 36 year old has cross dominance 😉 but thanks 😂

Hello 😁

They were used by TSA to profile people, due to the fact that Al-Qiada used them to detonate bombs with.

Luckily I don't fly to the US 😉

I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.

Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( https://headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).

However if you don't feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.

To be completely fair, without the "receipts" (ie, screenshots or something else point towards proof) my comments shouldn't be considered anything more than hearsay.

Personally, this experience is something that's sticking out like a sore thumb. Most people I interact with online, even people I haven't interacted with before, I start out with the assumption that they come from a place with good intentions. And then there is a person, that immediately goes against that, especially on a platform where I didn't expect it.

Edit: grammar

Yeah I think so... I couldn't find myself as well because I wanted to get the wording correct for my post.

Closed source isn’t a crime. However trying to ruin a company with exclusionary tactics can be. Linux kernel devs and Wayland devs have all conspired to harm a company.

NVIDIA kinda shoot themselves in the foot on Linux and excluding themselves. Refusing to support generally supported APIs like;

• VA-API

NVIDIA rather wants the OSS community the use their VDPAU or NVENC / NVDEC API's. Whilst everything and dog uses VA-API.

• GBM

Not true anymore (for driver above 495), but in the past NVIDIA refused to support GBM (for Wayland) and rather have compositors use EGLStreams instead of GBM.

Next to that modern NVIDIA hardware (GTX 900 and 1000 series) on the opensource Nouveau drivers cannot be reclocked because it needs some magically blessed signature by NVIDIA. NVIDIA refuses to supply that signature for that hardware but did release it for 1600 and up series.

That's just two things where I am like, dafuq are you doing NVIDIA....

I whole-heartedly agree with this one and I am genuinely not surprised about the behaviour of Vaxry.

To give some context around this, ThatOneCalculator (aka Kainoa, the person behind Firefish) and I maintained the AUR package for hyprland-git back in 2022. When I initially made the AUR package file, it wasn't great (and there were a lot of points to improve these packages) but it worked mostly. Of course there were edge cases where building broke, especially this was my first bigger AUR package to maintain. With it being a -git package in the AUR, breakage is to be expected.

Fast forward about a month, a month and a half. Hyprland rolled out some big changes which caused some build errors. But because my personal life got in the way, Kainoa got sick (IIRC) and I had troubles getting the build scripts working again, so it took a few days to get this resolved.

Vaxry came complaining to comment section of the AUR package "when are you gonna get of your lazy ass and fix this shit" (or something similar to that meaning, I can't find the original comment anymore). After that, I promptly disowned the package and let Vaxry handle it himself.

Because fuck that shit, as package maintainer, I refused to be treated like this. If you think it takes too long, sure, fine, ask if I need help, offer support, anything. But just don't be an asshole towards people, that offer your software to a wider audience.

Van Rossem is weer typisch Van Rossems 😍

Yes you can, it won't be great though.

I used to maintain a Linux distribution called "OpenWM8650" (back in 2011 / 2012) which was specially aimed at the WM8650 and WM8505. It would run off the SD card. Which wasn't great, but the flash onboard support was horrible at best.

Maybe you can find some old information on it, on XDA because the website for the initial distribution is long gone.

datab

Theoretically, support for that could be coming... Emby (where Jellyfin is based on) always used their own layer for interacting with a SQLite database. All that custom made logic is currently being swapped out for EF Core. EF Core is a DotNet library for interacting with databases and EFCore that also supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server besides SQLite.

So my guess is that, once all that work is completed, support of other database can be added.

For a little bit of context. I am currently running Jellyfin on Btrfs and there is quite a performance impact due to CoW. If 2 clients decide to browse the libraries, both clients grind to a near standstill with regards to being able to see things. So I am following this work with quite some interest.

Ministerie van Infra en water leek mij wel een goeie...

Maar inderdaad, er moet gewoon lokale representatie komen voor het OV. Zowel van de medewerkers als de bewoners.

Voor de bewoners, dan krijgen ze gewoon invloed op hoe vaak bussen rijden en welke haltes ze stoppen. Voor medewerkers lijkt het mij gewoon heel goed om te voorkomen dat je shit krijgt als, buschauffeurs die geen plaspauze hebben...

Het 'probleem' is dat we het al gedeeltelijk subsidiëren, zelfs in een commerciële setting (voorbeeld van een subsidie regeling uit 2013: https://lokaleregelgeving.overheid.nl/CVDR72226/1). In dit geval gaat het om busvervoer.

Dus effectief gezien, subsidiëren wij (de samenleving) via de overheid "commerciële" partijen om het openbaar vervoer te realiseren. En als ik bijvoorbeeld kijk naar het busvervoer in Utrecht (waar ik woon en wat ik dus het beste ken), dat wordt gerund door Connexxion (dochteronderneming van TransDev). TransDev is voor 66% eigendom van de Franse staat en voor 34% eigendom van "Rethmann Group". Dat betekent dat Connexxion / TransDev in de praktijk al een staatsbedrijf is, alleen niet onder Nederlands zeggenschap.

Persoonlijk, ben ik eerder dan een voorstander van om het openbaar vervoer bij het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat neer te leggen en zij het te laten exploiteren. Dan kunnen we in ieder geval (op dit moment), via het stemrecht onze voorkeur uit te spreken over ons openbaar vervoer. En idealiter, zou ik een uitbreiding willen zien van de invloed van de maatschappij op ons openbaar vervoer.

Het idee was ooit van de privatisering dat het "goedkoper en beter" zou zijn dan het door de overheid het laten organiseren.

Vervolgens proberen we voor een dubbeltje op de eerste rij te zitten en hebben we geprobeerd met de markt te reguleren, door de vervoersbedrijven te dwingen tot een bepaalde minimale standaard. En dan vinden we het collectief raar dat er geen commerciële partij is, die het wil uitvoeren.

Dit soort basisvoorzieningen moeten gewoon niet in handen van commerciële partijen komen. In steden zoals Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen etc etc, zou het THEORETISCH kunnen werken maar in landelijke gebieden werkt dat gewoon niet. Voor een commerciële partij is de "winst" gewoon te laag, voor het risico dat ze lopen.

En de uitspraak "alles kits achter de rits" 🤢🤢

That will work as long as EF lenses are still available.... But Canon already took some lenses out of production.

So basically, that's gonna be a dead end path.
