Oh it was. Google timeline should have never become a thing for anyone worried about privacy.

The thought behind it is actually pretty neat though. Being able to see a list of places you've previously visited is just super neat to have. Hosting it at home just means that nobody else has that information.

That's why it's called fantasy.

I'm still sad that the RUSp didn't work out.

I appreciate the article and the headsup about a neat device. I also appreciate the notes you had about the looks and hardware details about it. I adore the ethics statement at the top of the article. Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts on this.

So when Retroid got back in touch and offered to send me the 12GB version, I found myself asking a slightly different question, what, exactly, does those extra 4GB of RAM actually get you?

Rather than repeat my previous review, I've spent my time with the 12GB Pocket 6 looking specifically for where that additional memory makes a difference: and, perhaps just as importantly, where it doesn't.

So this time, rather than going into too much detail on the screen, controls, ergonomics and everything else I've already covered, I wanted to do something a little different: what happens when you take this already powerful little handheld and give it 12GB of RAM?

Now, as nice as it is to look at and hold, though, that's not really why we're here this time besides covering the basics, I've already reviewed the Pocket 6. This time, I want to find out what happens when you give it 12GB of RAM.

I’ve already spent a lot of time with Eden on the Pocket 6, and the 8GB model was super capable. But moving to 12GB had me wondering whether those extra 4GB could actually make a meaningful difference to Switch emulation specifically.

You repeated the same thought in four different ways before actually getting to the point of that thought. I also noticed this for a couple other paragraphs you had written as well, just not as egregiously. Maybe consider more aggressive cutting of the article? I'm not sure why you'd want this much repitition.

Your lsfg-vk link is out of date too. They moved from github to here; https://lsfg-vk.dev/.

Irc is not persistent without modification.

If you want to cut out your ISP device entirely, you will need to know exactly what setup your ISP has given to you, and then match that with your own hardware. The https://pon.wiki/ and servethehome forums are a great place to start for this.

If your ISP device has a passthrough mode that you are happy with using, practically any device with two gigabit ports will work for a 1gbps internet connection. I use a https://friendlyelec.com/ device, because they come with friendlywrt preinstalled, but your choice of router software is basically entirely preference based.

It's got IR built-in too.

It's more expensive, but I grabbed a vero 4k a couple years back and have been really happy with it. They've since put out a new model with av1 support. https://osmc.tv/vero/

It's just about the best possible dedicated jellyfin client box out there, so I felt it was worth the extra squeeze when I got it. (HDR support even!) It's all open source though, so support for things like YouTube, netflix, or any other streaming doesn't really exist in user friendly manner.

I use a vero 4k. They've since dropped support (after seven years) and put out a new model with av1 support. It stills works incredibly well as a jellyfin client box.

You might've got your left/right switched up, but yeah, my bf mentioned that this was fan art for Connor and Tim from young justice.

A couple bricks missing won't break the wall down quick enough to matter, especially if it's there, just not mortared in all the way.

Schools actually don't just check for autism, they also only offer diagnoses and treatment that they actually have on hand. It's just as likely that you did test positive; they just didn't have enough room for you compared to the more serious cases.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hey y'all.

I've been running a eBay special server with a pair of Xeon E5-2687W v2 and 64gb of cheap RAM. It's been working pretty great (other than a little bit of instability that randomly went away after a while, but I expect to come back at some point). I've had this setup for a couple years now, and have been eyeballing a couple different upgrade paths.

The reason I want to switch is that the eBay special motherboard does not have enough pci-e slots for what I'm planning in the near future.

The reason I want to upgrade is that I like having nice server hardware.

So I have been looking at alternatives. Is anyone else amazed at how cheap a CPU is, but how expensive a socket SP3 motherboard is? The cheapest sp3 board I've found is more than 500$, used. The cpus which will outperform my setup in every metric cost less than 200$.

This had me looking at new/used gaming hardware instead, which is cheaper, but misses out on ecc and also has a more limited amount of pci-e slots as well, (which is the primary motivation for changing my setup).

I'm trying to find a 16core/32 thread setup with the best single core performance available in that class. My current setup is 8core/16thread x2, and i'd like to avoid 'downgrading' to fewer cores. But the things I run usually run do better with more single thread performance than multi thread performance.

I found the epyc 7371, and the ryzen 5950x which meet my core requirements, but both have downsides I'm trying to mitigate. (Mobo price and ECC ram, respectively)

Do y'all have any alternative options I might've missed?
