How accurate is the temperature shown on these cheapo table clocks? I'd like to buy one just to have an idea of the temp inside some rooms, the humidity would also be nice.
I'd appreciate some suggestions too if you own/know an accurate one, the cheaper the better because I need like 3-4. As long as they're within 1-2C from the real thing it would be great.

Why are ""people"" (gamers) still so anti-VA? Modern VA panels have absurdly fast response times on par with IPS (faster actually except for black to black). On the plus side you get the blackest blacks, whitest whites and no backglow messing up everything.

I understand OLED is superior to both and TN is the competitive choice but it's weird seeing how many people still tell each other to steer clear of VA when your average $200 VA panel is almost certainly better than a $200 IPS one.

The only valid argument I see against VA is black smearing.
>>
>>107656119
Never tried ips mini led on a monitor, but I'm a bit traumatized from that tech because I remember buying some ips tv from LG that did have local dimming but the amount of zones was so small that watching any dark scene was a fucking shitfest in terms of blooming.
I would probably only consider one if it has lots of dimming zones. With va blooming is naturally less of an issue but obviously not as good as oled
That said I'm not sure what everyone is talking about concerning shit viewing angles on VA because I'm not really noticing that on mine.
>>
>>107656150
It's hardly valid anymore. 2 years ago 240hz VA monitors entered the market for less than $200 which have next to zero smearing left.
Lower refresh rate ones such as Samsung Odyssey series VA panels have no smearing left because their response times fall entirely within the 1/165 window
>>
>>107655993
We're talking about VA not TN, there isn't that much shift with viewing angles. You're sitting in front of your screen, right? You not trying to game at an obtuse angle, are you? Then you'll be fine
>>
>>107656177
MiniLED is based. My VA has uh a little over 1000 zones I think and the effect is great, there's a small amount of blooming with say text on a black screen but the monitor is tuned well enough that it isn't intrusive, it almost just looks like a blooming effect of the eye

I used to have a screen with like 8 dimming zones though and it was the worst shit ever

>Microsoft plans to eliminate every line of C and C++ from the company by 2030.

The rise of Rust and the downward trend of code quality are directly correlated. As populations become less intelligent, they rely more on the crutches built by previous generations. Using Rust is basically admitting that you are incapable of writing memory safe code without a crutch.

READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

For me, I got sick of wearing out light swiches. They don't make them like they used to. So now lights turn on and off when I move around the house. Extraction fans turn off after a timeout period. Dashboard tablet displays weather forecasts, flood conditions, weather radar stuff. I ain't into signing up to cloud services, this all works offline.
Its a hobby I suppose.

In my experience, the apps and extensions that connect to the password manager cache database, in an encrypted form I suppose. While I cant make changes when its offline, it still sort of works.

>how do i learn networking?
for me it was under duress of the only IT internship i could get in my last year of uni. I wasnt a fan of networking and was stuck with it for ~5 years

There is a lot, like firewalls, routing (BGP vs OSPF, others...), tunneling, vlans, trunking, link aggregation, load balancing, ssl decryption, port filtering; there's more one could add but the list goes on

I think the best way is to either pick up some old cheap physical appliances and play with them or spin up some VMs and play with them. Pick you're poison: cisco, juniper, palo alto, fortinet, check point; they're all different and have different capabilities much like comparing two programming languages

You can even get a very basic grasp on simple consumer shit like TP-Link routers and switches (ER605 & SG108E, respectively) but its nowhere close to as in depth as you'll get from business-class manufacturers

I actually kind of like the glass stuff.

I'm actually coming around to the opinion that Alan Dye's Liquid Glass thing is overhated. It deserves to be hated, but not _quite_ as much as it's hated.

I forced AI to break circular definitions in physics and act as a Game Designer for reality.
It ended up writing a "Universe Engine" technical doc and actual code.

We tested a 128x128x128 slice. Newtonian gravity emerged automatically from base constants.
It's not perfect, but it works.

I don't have the compute power to run a larger simulation.
Need someone with hardware to compile and test this properly.

PTP paths guide:

MAM->ATH->PTP is a bait, it's doable by racing with a highend seedbox and some grinding, but people with the ability to do it don't need ptg advice in the first place.

The good paths are:

RED->PTP - This is the quickest path (2 years), but it requires queuing for and taking the interview.

MAM->ATH->OPS->PTP - This one is slower (6 months on MAM, 1 year on ATH, 2 years on OPS), but you skip the interview. The MAM and ATH parts are trivial, as for OPS - in terms of effort, it's potentially a bit easier than the RED path if OPS will do the advent calendar again next year. Their calendar was handing out upload like candy.

There's no reason why you can't do both paths simultaneously. Especially considering that ATH is the best tracker you will get before PTP.
>>
>>107656139
maybe is ptp wasn't so paranoid about invite traders and lowered reqs to one year it wouldn't be so over. but no worries the 21 titans on aither will save ptp.

The penguin is really a great metaphor for linux when you think about it

It's a bird but it literally can't fly, it can walk but when it does that it's wobbly and fucking retarded. So to move places fast theres a workaround - you can slide on your belly really fast on ice, woohoo! And get this - you're great underwater!

Meanwhile actual birds just fly and when they need to walk they are well balanced to do that gracefully and NEVER go underwater because its fucking retarded for a bird to do that.
