Can't really go wrong with a JDS Atom stack or a Schiit Magni Unity + Mesh DAC, both are cheaper than DX5II and aren't plagued with bad QC and faulty firmware/PEQ.

Don't tell me. Tell the retards who programmed the FCGI modules. Our code worked *fine*, as is evident by the fact that everything was displayed properly as long as we bothered to clear the UTF-8 flag once before printing the output buffer to socket.

Oh, and of course the UTF-8 flag was set during site generation, because again, UTF-8 database.

For each row calculate starts and ends of each sequence of 1s (range).
Then for each such range in each row:

range.width * depth

, if it's the largest so far save it (as max)
>3. if there is no more rows left, break

max(subrange.start, range.start) .. min(subrange.end, range.end)

a new battery technology has been discovered every year for the last 15 years, none of them have made it to market, why should I care about this one?

>>107833487
>>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.
Most batteries are not used in grid or home applications: you plug shit into a socket.
Energy density matters for portable devices which is where lithium batteries are used. Even for example a cordless drill that's mostly used "at home" still needs reasonable energy density because nobody will lug around a 1kg battery on their "handheld drill". Electrical devices are either mains-powered or need to be portable and therefore have dense batteries.

Maybe the only exception is literal grid energy storage but they already use shit like gravity batteries on hydroelectric dams, which have infinity cycles and are better, cheaper, simpler and more durable than any chemical battery at that scale.

>>107826716

>>107833854
Obviously I don't mean cordless drills when I say grid and home applications. Everything you said about energy density on handhelds is true, I agree. You need high density batteries to make these things worthwhile. I still remember nicad makitas; feels bad man.
You slap some solar on a roof, and hook up a stack of nickel irons in a shed and you can relatively cheaply and sustainably get a week of emergency power or stack more and you become the grid selling watts to your neighbors at peak hours.
In the same way that lithium density made handhelds viable, cheap on site storage makes solar viable.

I'm partitioning an SD card with KDE Partition Manager. I need it to have an allocation unit size of 4096. Is that synonymous with a first sector of 4096? I'm having some troubles translating between Windows/OSX/Linux lingo.

>>107836325
that's the first sector position, not size.

Makes sense. My next question is how does one set an allocation unit size? I don't see an option with what I'm using and searching hasn't been particularly fruitful.

I want a high end CPU laptop. My choices are AMD 395+, AMD 9955HX, or macbook pro.
>395+
Available on like one single laptop and I don't want a 14'' HP. AMD apparently refuses to ship it to OEMs and/or it's not considered a useful market or something
>9955HX
Guzzles 200W for minimal improvement in performance so I'd rather strix halo, also almost exclusively comes in massive xboxhueg gaming laptops, I don't need a gaming gpu
>M4/M5 max
M4 max was already neck and neck with strix halo 395+ in benchmarks, if M5 max is the usual 15-20% bump in performance it'll basically be the best option. Meanwhile AMD still fails to supply 395+ to most OEMs and apparently has zero plans to bump it this gen, the 400-series seems to be more of a refresh of the mid tiers since the most powerful AI400 chip I've seen announced is a 12 core (and will probably remain vapourware for another 6-9 months judging by how long even strix halo laptops took to appear).

I just want to be able to compile large projects fast without having to ssh into a server on the other side of the world and deal with remote rsyncing and all that garbage. Money is no object but getting a powerful machine that runs linux is apparently cock and ball torture.

>snapdragon x2
From what I've seen from the snapdragon elite, it's not competing with the top performers, and also linux support was atrocious last I checked and it was basically designed as a windows ARM machine. I haven't seen anyone take it seriously or make any sort of high-powered laptops with it.
Maybe in a few more years we might have open high-end ARM laptops. But the top end of x86 is not terrible in comparison, like I said 395+ from all benchmarks and tests I've seen is basically neck and neck with the current best M4 max in performance and is not dramatically worse in power consumption either, it's a beautiful chip really; it's just not being fucking mass-produced and not being iterated upon.

AI max 395 is not even close to m4 PRO chip.
M5 MAX will smoke it.

>one single benchmark
>multicore benchmark on a workstation machine
Now compare multicore scores across a variety of benchmarks (not just one version of one vendor). I've spent an autistic amount of time trying to decide this and my conclusion is that it's really just close enough that it's impossible to conclude which one will be faster without testing my specific workload.

Anyway as for M5 max I agree that it will likely be the actual winner since again Apple is doing a generational performance bump while AMD is not, so it will become a no-brainer. But that just supports my point, my options are either a shittier linux machine, or a powerful machine with an OS that I hate using, hence me unironically considering virtualizing linux on top of macOS.

Cheers, sounds like it's right down my alley then, FreeBSD that is. Currently pretty much everything except audio works, I followed https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/ but can't get the audio to play through speakers or headphones even though everything should be setup as should.

Yeah I installed sndio and enabled sndiod, sndiod is loaded, audio drivers are loaded, default audio device is set, mixer shows appropriate volume level is set but no matter what I cannot get any sound out of this system. I also set librewolf to use sndio as the audio backend.

I’m running web servers and a mail server on FreeBSD and it’s great. Upgrades are a breeze. Jails are easy to work with once you get the hang of networking with them. Pf is easy to configure. ZFS is great. Filesystem hierarcy is an improvement over GNU/Linux. Performance is great. Documentation is great.
The single biggest thing is lack of surprises and at least feels less bloated compared to GNU/Linux.
>>107834620
OpenBSD on desktop doesn’t seem so appealing to me but it looks as a sexy alternative for servers despite the worse performance. My small scale bizniz shit probably won’t have any noticeable difference though.

>>107832616
I think OpenBSD is a cool system, wish Linux had an equivalent like that other than maybe Whonix. It's a shame they used such a terrible license though.
>>107832735
If you're running it on desktop, other than ZFS and some incremental improvements, I don't understand why you'd pick FreeBSD over Linux with its tiny userbase. It just seems like a contrarian os. OpenBSD has something Linux isn't as intensely focused on, which is security and correctness.
