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.

What makes you say that ?

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

Edit: autocorrect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a current Canon photographer (700D owner) going mirrorless is definitely the future. Canon and Nikon have basically given up on DSLRs. (https://www.engadget.com/why-nikon-and-canon-have-given-up-on-dsl-rs-133042286.html).

However, I want to highly stress out to avoid Canon for mirrorless. The reason behind it is that Canon has been "defending" their mirrorless mount relentlessly. Meaning, that no other 3rd parties without Canon's blessing can make lenses for the RF mount. (Source: https://petapixel.com/2022/09/06/canon-confirms-its-going-after-lens-makers-for-patent-infringement/)

So unless you wanna spend big bucks on Canon approved lenses, I'd go with either Nikon, Sony or one of the other mirrorless brands.

Fun fact, Sony is actually quite permissive in the licensing of their E mount. So they will basically let everyone make lenses for the E-mount.

For all the oldies in the room, Lindows / Linspire (me included)

Trying to merge Wine with Linux into one ""convenient"" package was overselling it at best and worst a lie. Back in '08 / '09 I tried to run it, just to see how good (or bad) it was. It was basically Debian with KDE and their special sauce on top to ""easily"" run Windows binaries. Especially in those day, WINE wasn't as good as it is today. I think you can fill in the rest ;-)

I have an A380 running in my home server which runs Arch Linux with kernel version 6.4.6. I've had the card since since October 2022, so I've seen my share of "issues" with it, especially because my Jellyfin server runs inside of Docker and thus adds additional layer of complexity / things that can go wrong.

Having said that, for $120, BUY IT. It's seriously one of the better cards are out there at that price. Previously I had an RX 550 (for which I paid about €75) and the A380 runs circles around my old RX550.

When I initially got it, I had some issues with is. Not surprising, early adopter and all. But the drivers are pretty rock stable nowadays and new features are being added constantly. The latest release of the Intel Media Driver added support for encoding HEVC 422 and improved performance for HDR tone mapping.

With regards to maximum streams, I am currently able to get a transcoding limit of 4 streams from H265 10bit (1080p) to H264 and still have some horsepower left over.

It's even so stable and pleasant to use, I am genuinely considering getting an A750 for my desktop.
