- Comment on New Doom Game Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase In June 1 month ago:
I’d be telling if later iterations of idtech (should it continue to develop) switch away from Vulkan on desktops.
Would be a difficult move considering how ruthlessly performant it is.
- Comment on Sonny Legacy Collection got announced - the classic flash games are coming to Steam 1 month ago:
God damn I didn’t expect to ever see that again. Brill
- Comment on New Doom Game Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase In June 1 month ago:
Kind of sad how the proprietor of DirectX owns one of the best Vulkan API game engine implementations in the industry.
- Comment on LPCAMM2 Is Finally Here, and It’s a Big Deal 1 month ago:
These newer modules are lower profile than SODIMM, and do not carry the same frequency/ throughput and latency limitations. LPCAMM effectively eliminates the need to solder RAM to mobile platform main boards, though we’ll see how vendors react.
- Comment on What's a good graphics card for jellyfin? 1 month ago:
AV1 decode is supported on the RTX 3000 series, encode + decode in the 4000 series
For Intel Arc, AV1 encode + decode support is present on all Arc Alchemist GPUs,
For AMD, AV1 decode is on 6000 series (except for the RX 6500 whatever), encode + decode on all 7000 series GPUs
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
That’s a fair point. I’m using the first party power supply but I could experiment with several others.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
You’re right. There is on the raspberry pi forums, I’ve chimed in on the past, will need to check back in with it.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
That’s my hope, as mentioned elsewhere I’m still awaiting uboot uprates for broader OS support, so I guess I’m fine to hang on to it.
Perhaps I picked this up a little early, though it has been fun to tinker and benchmark with.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
No problem at all. I can try to measure this with a socket wattmeter I have lying around.
The power implications aren’t likely to he a deal breaker, but I do love the idea of operating an application server at approx 7W (that said, the same power envelope is also achievable on certain x86-64 home server platforms now).
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
This sounds promising, thank you for the info
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
That’s not a bad idea. I can give that a try for sure. I’m guessing the power implications here are minimal as well?
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
I’m glad it’s working for you. I’m wondering if my issues will be resolved in the future by firmware upgrades (also holding out for uboot updates anyway). Not giving up on it just yet.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
I deeply regret my pi5 purchase. Here I was hoping to use it as a low power application server but I cannot get Ethernet workind reliably after a hot reboot. Seems to be a distro agnostic issue, though I acknowledge this could be a part failure.
- Comment on Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract 2 months ago:
There’s FOSS apps from fdroid, fairemail or protonmail or something of the sort, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS (ironically targets the Pixel series primarily, though they sometimes sell these at a loss around the holiday season).

Can’t beat that vice city radio. Hope you still have the full soundtrack in the mobile port.

I think there’s mention of it in the release notes for 1.2?

can this be hidden via registry or group policy?

- Comment on What game fits this? 4 months ago:
To be fair, “it takes one to know one” kind of applies here. I played a whole heap of D2, right from the launch.
I was one of the dumbasses who paid for the base game, and the two abysmal DLCs to follow, and then for forsaken.
Forked out only for all of the content to be either made free to play / taken away and ‘vaulted’ (not that anyone would really miss it).
I regret every minute of it :)

I would guess people who play destiny 2?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Big fan of dash-to-panel on gnome 45 myself. I similarly use a tray icon extension but the name eludes me.
I tried to switch back to the mutter-vrr fork today with no luck. Very much looking forward to VRR in gnome + Wayland.
- Comment on Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's 6 months ago:
Oh right, my mistake. I do vaguely recall their prior endeavour
- Comment on Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's 6 months ago:
A new start in dGPU is no easy task, but I honestly thought Arc’s relative RTRT and compute perf were quite good?
My main complaint would be their Linux support situation for Arc. I’m hoping it will improve over time.
- Comment on Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's 6 months ago:
In terms of technology & product offerings (perf/watt, compute density, TCO) relative to AMD, then Intel have absolutely fallen behind.
Though, this story has taken time to reflect in server market share, and Intel are still the major player.

- Comment on Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros 6 months ago:
radv is gradually catching up with amdvlk in terms of rtrt perf. could be worth using amdvlk for raytacing for now, though
- Comment on The first knitted socks I ever truly loved <3 6 months ago:
Much appreciated. I could always do with more wooly hats in this weather for sure.
- Comment on The first knitted socks I ever truly loved <3 6 months ago:
Thank you, I appreciate the insight 😊
- Comment on The first knitted socks I ever truly loved <3 6 months ago:
That pattern looks very cosy.
I think im going to have to investigate making my own socks at some point soon. I blast though (supposedly tough, but at least sustainable?) pairs of socks alarmingly quickly.
As someone who’s never knit before, I’m hoping something like socks would be an approachable project for a beginner?
