Maybe one day fusion will finally deliver and we might have cheap and clean energy with no consequences to the environment other than a few big reactors in a country. But until that day arrives and we work that out we have to transfer and Wind, Solar and batteries are winning because they are cheaper than gas, coal and nuclear.
All of the sales of public assets have resulted in drastic reductions in services and increasing costs. The water, electricity, post, gas and more it’s all just worse. Ths key infrastructure can’t just fail making them a very bad idea to be in private hands without very strict service requirements. We badly need to elect a government that will fix what is clearly broken.
Drax is an ongoing horrible scandal. The theory was that you could burn replaceable trees and wood waste and replant it and then at the very least it was a cycle, all be it a cycle that had a massive lag of many years before the CO2 was once again captured by new tree growth and the old coal power stations could continue on with this new fuel. In practice its repeatedly been caught cutting down ancient trees that wont be replaced from Canada and the USA. It should not be receiving green subsides its just accelerating the climate crisis and despite its relatively low energy output its the biggest contribution to CO2e production in the UK power system because burning wood is so inefficient.
The iamkate and gridwatch sites (https://grid.iamkate.com/ and https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/) don’t seem to know quite how to classify it with the iamkate putting it into blue alongside nuclear and templar just noting in its description a link to the scandal but also including “bio” in its renewable graphs.
That gets in the way of corporations making money out of “normal market movements”. Its just supply and demand when companies do it, the moment the working class tries to do the same they find themselves getting punished. If its illegal its going to need to be illegal for companies too and this means governments have to start doing their job again and reigning in corporate criminality.
It’s low power that is still making arm small computers popular. It’s impossible to get a pc down into the 2-5 Watt power consumption range and over time it’s the electrical costs that add up. I would suggest the RPI5 is the thing to get because it’s expensive for what it is and more performance is available from other options supported by armbian.
I use a 5600g on b450 ITX board and 4x 8GB Seagate drives and see about 35W idle and about 40W average. It used to be 45W because I was forced to use a GPU in addition to a 3600 to boot (even though its headless, just a bad bios setup that I can’t fix) and getting a CPU with graphics dropped my idle consumption quite a bit. I suspect the extra wattage for your machine is probably the bigger motherboard and the less efficient CPU.
It is possible to get the machine part down into single digits wattage and then about 5W a drive is the floor without spinning them down, so the minimum you could likely see with a much less powerful CPU is about 30-35W.
The thing is peertube wont grow unless the people aware of it start advertising and using it as an alternative. It takes collective investment in building the audience on an alternative for it to become viable.
Make sure none of the exceptions are ticked and the Minimum number of articles to keep per feed is also 25 or below. Then its up to the cron when that runs so you might have to manually purge it and optimise the database to see what it will actually keep.
I can’t say I have ever worried about it, been running FreshRSS for years and it seems to keep its database size in check fairly well and the defaults have worked fine for me and it rarely gets above 100MB. So I know it “loosely” works in that old articles are absolutely getting purged in time but have no idea how strictly it follows these rules.
The main thing we learned from the Germans was almost anime could do unspeakable things with enough propaganda and authority pressure. Most countries did not learn and change enough to stop such an event from occuring again, they assumed it was just a fault in German culture and most of the attempt to pursue and convict Nazis ceased with most getting away with their crimes against humanity. We determined no way to deprogram Nazism.
Maybe this spin of Nazism across the globe and the horrors if is unleashing will put in place the right reaction when popularist start lying to the public to gain votes and stop it before it becomes a movement.
Everyone has given Linux answers, its also worth knowing quite a lot of UEFI’s contain the ability to secure erase as well. There are a number of USB bootable disk management tools that can do secure erase as well.
Its been so long I can’t see ever receiving the game I paid for on kickstarter. We seem so far away from having that game with single player and personally hosted.
When the AI market crashes its going to be brutal.
No most people in the developed nations earn less than this. It’s heavily biased towards Americans and high earners, the typical just above the minimum wage earner isn’t in this group.
The DMZ for the ISPs router forward to the second router, then everything that hits your outside IP will be forwarded to router 2. Then on Router 2 you open the ports for your service and forward to the internal machine. That should all work fine.
So people are paying full price to buy a rental that will be taken away in the future whenever EA decides its not worth running the servers any more.
Its quite complicated to setup as well, just went through the instructions and its a long way from just add to docker and run unfortunately. Would be nice to be able to just get a runner in the same or different docker and it just works easily without a lot of manual setup in Linux of directories and users and pipes etc.
Not necessarily. Ignore chiplets because that is mostly about yield and price and look at what happens when we go very threaded. Smaller cores with less clockspeed take up less space and less power and are more efficient with both which leads to more total compute performance in a given space and power budget. The ideal CPU in a highly multithreaded environment has a small number of P cores that matches the number of single threaded combining threads and as many E cores as possible due to Amadhl’s law. The single threaded part comes to dominate given enough multithreading and all algorithms have some amount of single threaded accumulation of results.
AMD is working with the same limitations and bigger cores with more clockspeed will always have less total cores and achieve less total compute performance in that space. The single threaded component will dominate at high core counts so the answer is not all P cores and not all E cores and AMDs cores should be considered P cores. The ideal number of P cores is definitely more than 1 because the GPU requires one of those high performance threads and the game will need at least one depending on how many different sets of parallel tasks it is running.
But the problem is this theoretical future is a bit far off because we can clearly do today’s games with 6 cores quite happily and most don’t really utilise 6 cores well. They tend to prefer all high performance cores, no one is yet at the stage of dealing with the added complexity of heterogenous CPU core performance and its why both AMD and Intel have special scheluders to improve game utilisation a bit better, this approach of differing core performance first a little and then with E cores quite a lot is too new since big AAA games are in development for many years. So while its likely the future gains from silicon slow further, necessitating optimising the compute density and balance of cores, its unclear when Intel’s strategy will pay off in games, it pays off in some productivity applications but not games yet.
I am certain this approach and further iterations of it with multiple different levels and even instruction sets are quite likely the future of computing, so far its been critical for the GPUs success, its really unclear when that likely future will happen. It definitely doesn’t make sense now or the near future so buying a current Intel CPU for games makes no sense.
I did the same move from contabo to Netcup. Contabo I had all sorts of weird bandwidth limiting problems that I couldn’t explain and which the continued to deny they were throttling. Netcup worked perfectly.
Initially a lot of the AI was getting trained on lower class GPUs and none of these AI special cards/blades existed. The problem is that the problems are quite large and hence require a lot of VRAM to work on or you split it and pay enormous latency penalties going across the network. Putting it all into one giant package costs a lot more but it also performs a lot better, because AI is not an embarrassingly parallel problem that can be easily split across many GPUs without penalty. So the goal is often to reduce the number of GPUs you need to get a result quickly enough and it brings its own set of problems of power density in server racks.
