fishgoesblub··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Let this be a reminder to never trust any service be it one ran by a billion dollar company, to one ran by volunteers. You will be eventually screwed over. Make backup plans, and self-host whatever you can so nothing can be taken from you. For Git forges, I personally recommend Gitea[1], or Forgejo[2] (a Gitea fork by Codeberg)

fishgoesblub··on Nobody knows what a used GPU cluster is worth
Most were powerlimited to a degree to get the most hash/watt out of them.
fishgoesblub··on OpenNode – Bitcoin Payment Processor
Why this instead of the opensource, well used, and trusted BTCPay that you can self-host and has 0% fees?
fishgoesblub··on Minecraft: Java Edition now uses SDL3
OpenComputers II is even crazier as it uses a RISC-V emulator to run a real Linux image.
fishgoesblub··on GTX 1080s: Testing a Legend
It's amazing how great the 10 series was. The 1060, a budget card, had the same amount of VRAM as the previous generations top tier card (6GB) with the 1080Ti having 11GB! the 5060 for example has only 8GB, the same as the GTX 1070 and 1080.
fishgoesblub··on Goes-19 weather satellite enters Safe Hold mode
> Supposedly from someone stepping on it in the cleanroom

I would be too embarrassed to return to work if I did that.

fishgoesblub··on TypeScript 7
Are these performance improvements just for transpiling the Typescript to JS, or actually running programs written in Typescript?
fishgoesblub··on SearXNG: A free internet metasearch engine
I've been using SearXNG for a few years now, however I've been trying out Degoog as a SearXNG alternative since I've had issues with engines constantly failing or being slow since day 1 of using SearXNG, but Degoog has worse results with the same engines. It's a shame since I'm having to pick between slower but better results, or very fast but worse results.
fishgoesblub··on GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM
Correct, HD DVD is the more obvious, and correct choice.
fishgoesblub··on Fable 5 Is Back
Was confused, thinking I somehow missed the release of the game Fable 4, only to be disappointed when I saw this is about Claude LLM crap.
fishgoesblub··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
> since it isn't being compressed

Isn't being compressed as much. All Blurays are compressed either with MPEG2, VC1, H.264, or H.265 if it's an UHD Bluray.

fishgoesblub··on Bohemia Interactive: Cold War Assault Remastered Source Code on GitHub
This is great, I wish more studios would do the same with their games, and also under the GPL3.0
fishgoesblub··on Qualcomm to Acquire Modular
Welp, I think I can give up on my hope for Mojo.
fishgoesblub··on Authentication issues related to API requests
If I had a nickel for every time GitHub had issues, I'd be able to afford a nice stick of DDR5.
fishgoesblub··on DaVinci Resolve 21
For all the issues with AI, these features aren't so bad. The "AI" search is possibly one of the more useful ones. That'll save me a fair bit of time.
fishgoesblub··on Preparing for KDE Plasma's Last X11-Supported Release
They're still trying to figure that one out themselves.
fishgoesblub··on The AV2 Video Standard Has Released (Final v1.0 Specification)
It's a silly idea to not improve on things for something as "too many" formats. There's too many ARM processors out there, should companies stop development and keep using old, less efficient CPUs?
fishgoesblub··on It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12
More views.
fishgoesblub··on Show HN: AISlop, a CLI for catching AI generated code smells
Apparently I need to check in with a Doctor because code written by myself is seen as AI, and the lazy AI bits aren't. More Human than Human?
fishgoesblub··on StarFighter 16-Inch
It is the common buttonless style that is annoying to use compared to something with actual mouse buttons like an older Thinkpad.
fishgoesblub··on StarFighter 16-Inch
Looks generic, and has the stereotypical abysmal keyboard and trackpad as any laptop made in the past 10+ years. Put this in a room with a few other laptops and it'd be hard to pick it out from the crowd. The only thing it has going for it are the raw specs, but it's eventually marred by the price for what is a poor typing and trackpad experience.
fishgoesblub··on Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
This is genuinely pathetic. I wish I could do my job this poorly and still be employed.
fishgoesblub··on What is Z-Angle Memory and why is Intel developing it?
I have a feeling this will go the way of Optane and once it becomes useful they'll pull it and shelve it while keeping the patents/license of course so no one else can improve on it
fishgoesblub··on Dav2d
It hasn't had any proper quality/speed improvements in years. Only thing that has changed is updating deps and some bug fixes.
fishgoesblub··on Dav2d
Of the 3 software AV1 encoders, the only one that is fully dead is the Rust encoder (rav1e). If people truly wanted memory safe encoders/decoders, they would fund and develop them.
fishgoesblub··on Zed 1.0
Don't need to create an issue, both have had issues for them for 2 years.

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9057 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12629

fishgoesblub··on Zed 1.0
1.0 and still has the wrong colours when ran in Wayland and lacks bitmap font support.
fishgoesblub··on GitHub is having issues now
It's easier, and somehow more reliable to self-host a Gitea instance on consumer hardware than it is to rely on GitHub.
fishgoesblub··on Firefox Has Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine
It's surprising, and disappointing that this hasn't happened sooner. A real shame that it took a browser company other than Mozilla to make (In Rust no less!) adblock-rust. I wonder if this could've been a native Firefox feature and selling point years ago if Eich wasn't kicked out.
fishgoesblub··on Incident with multple GitHub services
At this point it'll be better to have alerts for when GitHub is online, rather than offline.
