I have exactly the setup you described, a Raspberry Pi with an 8 TB SSD parked at a friend of mine. It connects to my network via Wireguard automatically and just sits there until one of my hosts running Duplicati starts to sync the encrypted backups to it.
Has been running for 2 years now with no issues.
Also works well for the opposite use case.
I’m a good programmer but bad at math and can never remember which algorithms to use so I just ask it how to solve problem X or calculate Y and it gives me a list of algorithms which would make sense.
This had terrible consequences
Ha, they never learn. They also blocked most of Cloudflare in Austria a few years back.
Fun fact: It was the first IP block they tried. They haven’t tried again since then.
That is normal, you have to set the SDR color intensity slider further up in order to get “proper” colors for SDR content.
Still, I would not recommend running the desktop in HDR mode.
Thanks for the tip! I took a look and it seems like Recognize uses this: https://github.com/jordipons/musicnn
Last update was 4 years ago but will give it a try this weekend.
I’m thinking of Ripping my CD collection again. I’m researching a way to use a LLM to tidy up the metadata.
If you ever figure out how to use AI to determine the genre(s) of a song, let me know. Have been looking for something like that for quite a while.
But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
The desktop runs in SDR and the color space differs between SDR and HDR, meaning you will end up with washed out colors when you display SDR on HDR as is.
When you increase the slider in KDE, you change the tone mapping but no tone mapping is perfect so you might want to leave it at the default 0% and use the HDR mode only for HDR content. In KDE for example, colors are blown out when you put the color intensity to 100%.
Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
In SDR, your display is not sent an absolute value. Meaning you can pick what 100% is, which is your usual brightness slider.
In HDR, your display is sent absolute values. If the content you’re displaying requests a pixel with 1000 nits your display should display exactly 1000 nits if it can.
Not sure about the contrast slider, I never really use it.
Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
Because 1000 nits is absurdly bright, almost painful to watch in the dark. I still usually use the 1000 mode and turn on a light in the room to compensate.
Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.
Display technology limitations. OLED screens can only display the full brightness over a certain area (e.g. 10% for 400 nits and 1% for 1000 nits) before having to dim the screen. That makes the HDR mode mostly unuseable for desktop usage since your screen will dim/brighten when moving large white or black areas around the screen.
OLED screens simply can’t deliver the brightness of other display technologies but their benefits easily make it worth it.
When I worked help desk, a coworker of mine took a call where someone called in because one of the thin clients was on fire. The user was advised to call 911.
Well, did he try to turn it off and NOT back on again?
I don’t think you can import pfSense configurations into OPNsense. I switched from a DIY pfSense box as well and redid the config.
You can look for a converter or install pfSense onto it though.
Because it’s dope.
Also, according to their website the 10 and 25 Gbit/s packages cost the same per month.
Also, still cheaper than my 1 Gbit/s connection.
The RFC you linked recommends that no new X- prefixed headers should be used.
The paragraph you quoted does not say you should use the X- prefix, only comments on how it was used.
See section 3 for the creation of new parameters: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6648#section-3
I still work on software that extendively uses X- headers.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. The reason they give is mostly that it is annoying if a X- header suddenly becomes standardized and you end up having to support X-Something and Something. Most likely a non-issue with real custom headers.
We don’t have many unit tests that test against live APIs, most use mock APIs for testing.
The only use for this header would be if somebody sees it during development, at which point it would already be in the documentation or if you explicitly add a feature to look if the header is present. Which I don’t see happening any time soon since we get mailed about deprecations as well.
I don’t really get the purpose of a header like this, who is supposed to check it? It’s not like developers casually check the headers returned by an API every week.
Write them a mail if you see deprecated functions being used by a certain API key, probably much more likely to reach somebody that way.
Also, TIL that the IETF deprecated the X- prefix more than 10 years ago. Seems like that one didn’t pan out.
They are expensive but I run a OPNsense DEC740 and have no issues with my Gigabit fiber, even without modem and the PPPoE overhead.
You can still try playing with hardware offload on/off and if you use PPPoE, it runs on a single core by default.
Did anything ever come from this? I imagine that any of the railway companies affected would want to sue?
Not much possibility for argumenting about security reasons either when you literally have the GPS coordinates of your competitors in your code.
Also, abusing a Github issue as your personal Twitter timeline is not going to persuade anyone.
The comments in that issue are atrocious.
Same.
The story isn’t super deep and it isn’t necessarily profound – it’s not really a belief-changer, outside of, perhaps, your idea of what a videogame is – but the experience itself is beautiful and rewarding and I’m not sure it can be recaptured.
I had an interesting discussion about this game with a friend who didn’t feel anything after finishing Outer Wilds. We came to the conclusion that while the “concept” of Outer Wilds is incredibly sad/beautiful, not everyone feels something for concepts and ideas.
For example, my friend is a serious cry baby when characters he knows well die in games/shows/movies. We barely know anything about the Outer Wilds universe, its inhabitants or even our protagonist, so there’s nothing sad about individual characters perishing.
Yet you, I and many others deeply connected with a story about the volatility of the universe and life itself and how everything has to come to an end.
(DLC spoilers ahead)
The same applies to the DLC, there is nothing inherently sad about either of us perishing. We barely know anything about the stranger, the owlks, the prisoner or our protagonist. But the idea of both of us being dead inside of a simulation, drifting through space on a dying vessel in a dying universe is a heart breaking thought to me.
As disappointed as I was that not everyone seems to experience these emotions, it for sure is interesting.

The discussion between Catherine and Simon on the elevator is my favorite dialogue in any game. Not just are the voice actors amazing but a common sci-fi trope is presented from a much darker view than usual.
(Spoilers for SOMA ahead; go play the game, it only costs 5 bucks on sale)
My first sentence when I get connected to a chat bot is always “Let me speak to a human”.
Hunt works perfectly fine on Linux, played a few rounds yesterday.
Tarkov still does not.
