After a long break from the seas, returning after close to 8 years, pirate life has really improved.

Synology + dockers + automation tools = the experience that streaming should have been

Yeh I’m similar. I’ve found that yeh it looks a bit better but at 10x the storage it starts being really cost prohibitive for a small benefit.

On a side note, I’ve got the server up and running and it crushes 1080p. No performance issues at all.

Absolutely insane from a 7.5w TDP cpu. Seven POINT five watt.

Ooooh.

I’ve just spent the day installing Synology DSM on a passively cooled micro pc with a Pentium N3510 and 4gb of ram.

I haven’t had a chance to test performance yet. Certainly not 4K capable but that’s okay. If it can handle 1080p I’ll mark it a win.

Sonarr and Radarr in dockers on DSM.

12tb USB attached HDD.

I’m not sure if this will be a permanent setup. Will depend what the 1080p performance is like.

But I had the box sitting in the cupboard and I’m really keen to cut ties with streaming services

Sure ETSI are responsible for the encryption standard.

And Motorola is free to use that standard on radio handsets made with components of ITAR controlled items.

The use of any component controlled via ITAR will have the entire unit controlled.

Having used a Motorola product covered by ITAR on “the wrong continent” many times.

Bingo. All of these technologies are controlled by ITAR.

I have zero doubt this was for clandestine use internationally and it was almost inevitable. Outside of a back-door there is no way you’re getting access to properly encrypted net with some of the higher end technologies.

Thanks mate. I really appreciate your time. I hope I get to see quantum computing be in practical use in my lifetime.

It’ll be insane to see where “AI” and quantum computing lead us. Folding at home was always really interesting to me, and I could imagine a machine learning platform combined with the massive increase in compute power could solve so many biomedical problems.

Amazing. Thank you.

Don’t ever apologise for getting carried away. Sharing something you’re passionate about is a gift for your audience!

Can you also explain quantum advantage for me?

And share your thoughts on what you think the timeline will look like for the development of quantum computing?

Also I’m sorry but I have one more question for you, Being a bit of a tech nerd I’ve had a few conversations with people about quantum computing and encryption. Obviously there’s concerns that current cyphers will be obsolete, but I’ve always wondered is this not a problem that we could easily solve by just drastically ramping up entropy?

I have a very very basic idea which could be wrong.

When qubits are entangled they’re basically a traditional bit of data, paired to another. If you change one of the bits, you change the other.

So what’s the benefit? I think the easiest way of thinking about it is to dumb it down as much as you can.

If I’m processing 4 bits of data. Say 1010. And then I execute a function that changes that data to say 0101. Traditionally I need to send another 4 bit string of data for processing. But if my original data was actually a pair of entangled qubits of say 10 and 10, well if I change one of the pair to 01 i’ve changed the other pair already because they’re entangled.

So effectively through one qubit entangled pair I’ve doubled my throughput.

So if you can effectively scale this, the potential upside is huge.

“Cells. Within cells interlinked.”

Honestly man you can believe whatever you choose to. I’m not here to argue with anyone.

I’m in my 30s and went from having bad gingivitis with bleeding and pain during brushing, to having gums that are comfortable with being thoroughly physically cleaned every day and that makes me happy.

Awesome job mate. I went through a similar stage with my depression. It takes courage to pull yourself out of situations like that so make sure you appreciate yourself.

It’s kinda disgustingly satisfying when you pull gunk out. Then to think I never used to floss and that gunk used to just stay there…. 🤢

The only interdental brush I find I can use is Piksters. All the others bend so easily.

I wish they were cheaper.

The real sad part for me is the amount of e-waste this produces. Especially in devices like laptops.

A clean Linux distro can extend a laptops life by a decade. I have a laptop from the c2d era that I threw an ssd in and put Linux on. Perfectly serviceable as a basic machine.

Yeh I’m in the same boat. The day the internal memo came out about how everything will blow over, I deleted Apollo. I haven’t been back to reddit since and after the first week, I don’t even miss it now.

I wish lemmy was a bit busier, but outside of that the general atmosphere and quality here is better. Even if everything was reversed and Spez was booted, I won’t return now.
