I hope this email doesn't find you
  • Did you get that thing I sent ya?

  • RIP videos from streaming services
  • I don’t know about a guide, but I believe it’s still possible to rip 4K HDR using an HDCP downconverter . HDR/DV data is included over HDMI, the problem is that it’s all encrypted (along with the 4k stream itself) with HDCP 2 which isn’t publicly broken yet. This box (and others like HDfury) does some tricks to force a fall back to HDCP 1, which has been broken for a long time, so you should then just need a capture card that supports it.

    Scene releases may have better/faster techniques depending on the streaming platform, but they probably wouldn’t talk about them if they did.

  • Ouch, hope he’s alright, that looked excruciating. To everyone but the doctor, I guess

  • Naimov is smart to use his two free nut shots early, Wood should return them

  • Are you protected?
  • Reminds me of the Kanda Myojin Shrine in Tokyo, where you can get charms to keep the evil spirits out of your computers

  • Qubes OS - First Impressions
  • There used to be one called Subgraph, but the project is dead, I think. Hope someone will pick it back up, because there’s certainly people who’d prefer to sacrifice the security benefits for performance, while keeping the isolation/networking parts of it.

    Qubes, for their part, is pretty clear this won’t happen, but that seems pretty reasonable given their project goals.

  • Wow, wtf, most prolific inventors in America are ethnic Chinese !
  • Yeah I wonder what possibly could influence smart/talented/motivated people to want to leave China for the USA. In the US, they will be denigrated by checks notes being given rights to the profits from their inventions?

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • Hey, you’re the one who made a thread about “nothing”, not me. Make a different thread if you want to people to discuss something else.

    Another link on the topic for those interested: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide

    I think my favorite part is the “denials” section about social media trolls.

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • Then I guess the people will just have to discuss the topic as written, and talk about China’s detention and torture of Muslims. Glad you’re bringing attention to it!

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • But anyway, this article is about America’s extrajudicial Muslim torture camps

    Oh, then maybe you should delete this post and give it the correct title.

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • The official UN news site isn’t a primary source for UN statements on China’s genocide, you got me. I cede all of my points.

    Sir, this is the internet.

    Yeah, and the internet is for porn, not debating deluded people on the internet.

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • Not sure where in posting a link about China’s massive, well-documented genocide did I say anything about my position on Guantanamo, but keep going after those straw men, you’ll beat them one of these days.

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • Not here for a debate OP, just here to post the information you promised and didn’t. As a bonus, I gave you a primary source instead of a propaganda rag!

    I’m sure other people here enjoy arguing against someone with the IQ and demeanor of a brick wall, but if I wanted that, I’ve got four right here.

  • UN Human Rights Expert Calls for Immediate Close of Xinjiang Muslim Detention and Torture Facility
  • Here guys, in case anyone actually wants to read about the humans rights abuses in China instead of whatever garbage OP posted: https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932

  • Using cheap SSDs in RAID to increase speed/reliability?
  • Well, I certainly made some assumptions about your workload that may not be true. What do you use it for?

    As bulk storage (backups, media streaming, etc), random 4k reads are usually not going to be the limiting factor, except maybe for the occasional indexing by Plex etc. If you’ve instead got lots of small files you’re accessing, or are hosting something like a busy database/web server on here, then you could see significant boost, but not anywhere near as significant as just co-locating the service and the data. If your workload involves a lot of writes, then I would stay away. The MTTF on “cacheless” SSDs is pretty garbage, which seems like the biggest issue to me.

    Also, didn’t mean to suggest buying nicer drives, just using an older one I was familiar with as reference. I recently bought the 2TB 970 evo plus on sale for $80 each, which was in your price range, but not sure if that pricing made it to the UK.

  • Using cheap SSDs in RAID to increase speed/reliability?
  • You probably don’t need that kind of read/write performance in your average NAS because you’re almost certainly going to be network limited. Not sure what the specs on these cheap ones are, but something like a Samsung 970 evo from a few years ago would more than saturate a 10g link, so doubling that wouldn’t really help.

    That said, I recently built a 4 M.2 drive raid0 on my homelab server for some read heavy workloads, and things scaled close to how you’d expect with just mdadm+ext4 (about 80% of the drives’ theoretical maximum bandwidth in fio test). If you can actually use the extra IOPS or disk bandwidth, it works pretty well and was easy to do.
