I can hear QUOD laughing at .kkrieger's pitifullly large filesize

quod is even more impressive at 64kb https://daivuk.itch.io/quod

That's enough for at least 22 copies of QUOD

It can go too far in either direction. If you're writing a report you know no one will ever read it can help to ask why and push for an answer, but it isn't the driving instructor's job to explain why you should stop at the red light.

It's a single rack rather than it being a whole data center. The whole constellation of satellites is the data center.

Again, I'm not advocating for this as a good idea, just saying that cooling is not the reason it is a bad one.

That simply isn’t true, the video I linked explains everything clearly, for a 20kw satellite the cooling area is needed very modest.

Still not a great idea and I am not advocating for it, but people need to stop fighting bullshit with bullshit and start fighting it with truth.

You can, they just have to be smaller rather than a massive single orbital data centrer like this proposal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80

Still not a great idea because of the economics, but the same can be said for the data center build out on earth too, so why would they let that stop them?

Most n100 new mobos need ddr5, a few older ones only need ddr4 though. Either is unaffordable right now. Better off going for something second hand which uses ddr3. Will use a bit more power but the break even point vs an n100 + ram will probably be a decade at least.

A pi 5 will cost way more than a second hand mini pc.

One of my playtesters is better than me at the game and top of all the leaderboards, please help me humble him.

Pretty happy with what we were able to make! The game has a "flatscreen" mode too so you don't need a VR headset to play it.

I'm looking to get a something to plug in to my TV for streaming jellyfin and streaming games. Criteria:

  1. can play 1080p h264 from jellyfin without transcoding
  2. can stream 1080p 60hz games via steam link / moonlight
  3. low power consumption so it's not a big deal if I leave it on
  4. runs an open OS (raspian etc)
  5. wifi and bluetooth
  6. hdmi output
  7. less than ~150 AUD (100 USD)

Thanks in advance! Any tips around remote control and/or home assistant integration for it would also be welcome.

 

I am part of an event called "nethackathon" where multiple streamers hand over the same character/savegame to the next person in the schedule, like a relay race. What other games do you think would be good for a similar kind of event?

Nethack is ideal for a few different reasons:

  • it has a clearly defined objective (win the game)
  • permadeath means there are real stakes, we care if each character lives or dies
  • a winning run usually takes about 10-20 hours, short enough to be done in the weekend of the event, but also long enough that it can't be completed by a single person and requires multiple streamers in 2 hour "shifts"
  • transferable savegames (we play on a common server)
  • the game itself is interesting and deep

What other games do you think would work well in this format and why?
