- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 2 weeks ago:
NM has been a marketing gimmick since Intel launched their long-standing 14nm node. Actual transistor density depending on which fab you compare to is shambles.
It’s now a title / name of a process and not representative of how small the transistors are.
I’ve not paid for a CPU upgrade since 2020, and before that I was using a 22nm CPU from 2014. The market isn’t exciting (to me anymore), I don’t even want to talk about the GPUs.
Back in the late 90s or early 2000s upgrades felt substantial and exciting, now it’s all same-same with some minor power efficiency gains.
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 2 weeks ago:
I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 weeks ago:
In love with Syncthing. Does my keepass database across my servers / laptop / phone. Was using Bitwarden for that a while back but decided I’d rather self host and run my own backups, with blackjack and hookers.
Great for hosting roms on my server and pulling over to whatever device needs them.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 5 weeks ago:
Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.
My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.
Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.
Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.

- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 2 months ago:
For Plex just unpin the default channels, and leave your local media libraries pinned.
- Comment on Which game is it? 2 months ago:
PlanetSide 2 for me, easily 8k hours into that game. Around 5k on my steam account alone.
So sad to see it’s still slowly collapsing, but I’ve not been on since the AU servers shut down years ago and the hackers took over the Asia server.

- Comment on The internet is bad ux, everybody. There's too many choices. 2 months ago:
Christ, I knew Australian ISP pricings were exy but that’s absurd.
I’m looking at going to a 500 / 250? (Might be 100 up) Plan for around 140 AUD per month, I’d much rather have symmetrical Gbit but that’s well put of my price range.
$200 USD is around $315 AUD currently, that’s a whole ballpark of fucked up.

Starlink isn’t our infrastructure.
- Comment on Hundreds complain about failing mobile phone service since 3G switched off 3 months ago:
Yeah I was one of the 3G / NextG subcontractors between Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Broken Hill.
Amps gear was tossed outside the huts and would be collected at an undetermined date.
The original 3G cabinets were not up to spec, so our crew after installing at many locations needed to revisit sites and install amplifiers. What a waste of resources.
Was bad enough having to visit some sites due to their location, but twice was a nightmare. Not to mention every time we made changes on the towers we needed to get in each antennas zone, call 000, confirm molly & scrambling codes. To imagine how many of these “Telstra test calls” they would have been receiving during the rollout, poor bastards.

I’d much prefer to have beige painted steel and some rail mounts on the side. Would totally swap one of my servers into that chassis.

Oh free lithium batteries. I’ve got a decent sized stash of cells salvaged from disposables. Some of their cases I want to use as project boxes for esp devices.
Will be sad once the supply dries up for us electronics folks.
