I tried Nabula twice. The latest in 2020.
Service is fine but their UI + search and discover is awful. Like I can barely find creators I like when I search for their exact channel name.

WE NEED A FEDERATED BROWSER.
- Comment on Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs are slower at single-core work than previous-gen models — new benchmarks show IPC regressions vs Raptor Lake 4 months ago:
That was long time ago. I believe the game was BF1.
I know it’s hard to speculate but 100% cpu usage for solid 5~7 seconds only for 8 cores cannot be separate workload (single threaded). A spike is understandable tho.
The game play wasn’t impacted to be honest.

- Comment on Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs are slower at single-core work than previous-gen models — new benchmarks show IPC regressions vs Raptor Lake 4 months ago:
My point here is the developer managed to split the load evenly between 8 threads. How come they cannot do it for 16?
The keyword, evenly, means all 8 threads are at 100% while other 8 threads are at 1-2%.

I bought Ryzen 3950x 16 cores 32 threads.
The first thing I noticed is some AAA games only utilize 8 cores. When you go multi threaded, it’s a matter of adding more threads which can dynamically selected based on the host hardware. AAA game studios are going the bad practice route.
I understand if they port an algorithm optimized to run on specific hardware as it’s. But, a thread count?
- Comment on Microsoft is discontinuing Windows Mixed Reality 4 months ago:
Hardware was impressive during Nokia’s glory before apps were a deal breaker.
Microsoft screwed developers hard by making rapid changes to metro layout.
Many of them just gave up and abandoned their apps.

Good because I drew the line at 969
- Comment on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth 4 months ago:
Clickbait and false statements are two different things.
If I write a title saying “Joe Biden resigned” and then talk about how most Americans wants Joe to resign this is considered a false statement.
But if I write “Americans wants only one thing” then this is a clickbait.

- Comment on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth 4 months ago:
The main issue here isn’t ads. The issue is straight up false titles.
I understand if they opted for vague summary. But false statement is where i draw the line.
- Comment on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth 4 months ago:
My point is the title in journalism went from a summary of the story to a confusing false statement that might give you a hint of what the story is about.
- Comment on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth 4 months ago:
So the title did its job which is you understand nothing until you enter their site, drive traffic, display ads, and possibly collect your data in the process.

Not bad.

I think lemmygrad isn’t that bad considering pedo.school is halfway through the list.

I believe NUCs are more expensive than mini pcs and less bang for buck.
Check out intel i5 9th gen. You can get one with hdd for less than $100. Some of them support m.2

Interesting, I thought it’s the other way around.
- Comment on Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option 5 months ago:
This is a good step forward for privacy. However, how it’ll handle data embedded in the URL like MVC?
Also, if it does work well, it’s a matter of time until developers find a way to get around it and probably enhance and increase data collected in the process.
- Comment on Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive 5 months ago:
More expensive and less reliable.
I wonder how their management expected increase in sales. Maybe they trusted Joe’s chart.
- Comment on Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive 5 months ago:
Isn’t just a rebrand cars?
Their duster model is a copy of Renault Duster. They didn’t even bother to change the name.

Now you never know, maybe they are busy, making up an excuse, waiting for important message, or just hold their phone in front of their faces and zone out.

No one wanted touch buttons.
Also, a 4-cylinder engine for atlas is a joke.
- Comment on Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? 5 months ago:
No problem. I think you missed a comma before all. It should look like this:
–sponsorblock-remove,all
- Comment on Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? 5 months ago:
Sure, you can find the documentation under sponsorblock options here: github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
For categories, maybe sponsorblock github is the best place to find them.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to scrape information or import it to Plex. Also, check out jellyfin as an alternative of Plex.
- Comment on Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? 5 months ago:
Glad you got it working.
I’ve noticed it need a lot of time to start even with good hardware and the confusing part it’ll throw errors rather than doing nothing.
Now to configure sponsorblock, go to settings > advance > select downloader: choose yt-dlp
Then go to settings > downloader > global custom args type this: --sponsorblock-remove,all
Now, for all new videos, it will download the video and remove all sponsorblock marked segments.

Thank you for your detailed suggestion.
I’ve got HP ProDesk 600 G5 Mini i5-9500T off ebay for $190. Best damn purchase ever. Running 21 docker containers and transcode 4k with ease while consuming only 35w.
However, sometimes you need GPIOs especially for school projects.

Hopefully it’ll beat pi4 prices as well
