Yeah I’m pretty sure a raspi 4 is up to the task. I ran a 512 GB jellyfin server on a raspi 3 for a few months, and the only issue was with transcoding video/audio (raspi doesn’t have the right hardware acceleration for that).

Never used nextcloud, but yeah you’ll probably want to update to 64-bit raspi os

Animal Well, but that’s kinda the point

My first playthrough of Half Life 2, I bailed from the boat when it got stuck on the wall in a section with lots of guns. I continued on foot through two more loading zones until I reached a section that required the boat to progress, so I walked all the way back to get it lol

I use both, since they do different stuff. I actually remote into my servers with wireguard, but I like to install tailscale as well as a backup. Since each device gets a unique tailnet ip, I can usually still connect even if I’ve fucked up some network config that breaks wireguard. ((If this is a security risk, someone let me know because I have no clue what I’m doing tbh.))

Plus tailscale lets you easily see what devices are connected to the internet at a given time.

I started playing Islets after hearing anout it from your posts, and I really enjoy it! Thank you!

Raspbian (modified Debian Jesse) on a raspberry pi 2B (which I am still using over a decade later to host some discord bots). Also now using Debian 1Bookworm on an old optiplex as a media server.

pretty sure the image is Gen AI

Based on this pin configuration, there’s only two dedicated power pins, which isn’t very good for large wattages. The rest are twinax signal pairs separated by ground to reduce crosstalk.

Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they’ll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I’m guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn’t made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).

Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

I have no idea.

That’s a lot of power! Are there even any devices that use this?

I used to not understand them, but learning how their internal mechanism functions has helped a lot. Now I can just visualize what’s happening inside the infernal contraption

In theory, yea it should. But this is developed by Nvidia with their own graphics cards in mind. If this is similar to Portal RTX, then RDNA3 cards will be able to run it, just with severly crippled performance.

Well as long as you don’t turn on frame gen, the input lag shouldn’t be much higher than normal. There’s also NVidia reflex, which can shave a few milliseconds off input lag

Probably not, no

Edit: Actually maybe. Read my comment below

Yeah fr. There’s nothing stopping every school from just saying “every day is optional dress up day”

That DS drawing is incredible!! Thank you for sharing!

This was very fun to read!

The article itself mentions E Ink’s Kaleido 3 technology. I’m not really sure on the semantics of “e-ink” vs “e-paper”, but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as “ACeP”, which stands for “Advanced Color e-Paper”, so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.

One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.

They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))
