Part of me wonders what chipset is running that adapter, and if you’d get a better one if you went for a miniSAS adapter rather than individual sata ports (enterprise port generally implying a better controller chip)
Then realised there would probably be no use for such an adapter in enterprise so if you did get a different connector it would probably just be the same interface chip as whatever is in this.
Well someone needs to tie an anchor to this market
The fact this product has a market is fucking ridiculous
Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially

The CVE list always cracks me up, there’s like tens daily
Hmm assuming the disk isn’t super scratched up, I’m thinking you need to configure the region correctly.
I think if it was a decryption error, you’d have something different to a read error on what looks like one of the first blocks.
I remember there’s a cli utility for setting the region that you should be able to get from your package manager, I can’t remember the name off the top of my head
Edit: reread your post, regionset rings a bell actually. If it’s not available in your package manager, perhaps try building it from source
What is the error that VLC gives you?
GitHub has been around for nearly 2 decades and was largely considered a mostly good thing until maybe the past couple of years. Also important to add that Microsoft seems to mostly have left it alone for the first couple of years (possibly with the exception of Atom, which it left very alone)
In addition to people just generally being slow to change, changing can take quite a bit of effort for some projects for varying reasons. Many of those same projects struggle to keep up with the maintenance workload, so they’re not going to jump at the chance to add more work to their plates.
Finally, some people just don’t care. For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin.
Though I will say if the service disruptions and ad-injection bullshit continue you’ll only see GitHub competitors grow. GitLab seems to be going after their enterprise customers with some success.
Hmm, I guess denuvo’s not forever
… I’ll get my coat
Ahh yes of course, I guess I went straight to assuming it was HPE doing the investment
They’ve still got a pretty hefty server division and increasingly not using HP/UX, no?
Self preservation seems like a fairly obvious motivator
HDHomerun is the commercial solution that is relatively painless assuming you have something that can run a client that supports it
Open source, you probably want to look at tvheadend and a USB DVB-T tuner (hauppauge still make decent ones I believe) attached as the next most straightforward option, it can take a little bit to get set up but it’s pretty seamless once it is. Same caveat about clients
Given I think even the highest end of SSD is only just touching 15GB/s and RAM about 100GB/s I think?
I do wonder how long it will be before we actually see these transfer speeds
Makes sense I suppose
Who is buying a new motherboard if all the other components are significantly overpriced?
At least for me, I only get a new motherboard if I want a new CPU that my current doesn’t support
Huh, I never made the connection that denuvo is from Irdeto, who also provide one of the widely used pay-TV DRM schemes
Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes
the only stuff that’s really on there is some music, photos, backups. If it gets lost, nothing important really is lost.
Photos are pretty important to a lot of people, I know that’s the most obvious thing on my server that people would miss and not be able to get anywhere else
Don’t get me wrong it’ll have to pop eventually, but I see it as very likely the US government will pump billions of taxpayer money into the industry to keep it going long after it should have failed. The US is basically guaranteed to go into a pretty bad recession when it pops now given basically all US GDP growth is from AI currently.
Cancelling capacity is a good point that I missed, though there’ll still be the wave of non-AI but non-consumer demand that’s been pent-up, so it’s still not going straight back to the consumer.
The inventory thing isn’t going to play out like that simply because the stuff being made is incompatible with consumer hardware. People running data centres might be able to do some cheaper server upgrades, but you’re not going to be putting HBM memory and SXM5 GPUs into any consumer motherboard
3-4 months isn’t happening even if there’s a catastrophic, all-pops-at-once, event tomorrow. And honestly, given everything, I think the best we’re seeing is a negligible drop at least a couple of years away, and that’ll become the new norm.
Oh another one I forgot, Bezos’ post-AI-bubble plan seems to be that consumers only get thin clients and rent compute from the cloud. I’d put money on AWS buying up the majority of spoils of unsold AI inventory, and fab capacity shifting to serve that. It’s now very much in Bezos’ interest to make sure consumer hardware prices never come down, so people are left with no other choice.
This one isn’t artificial scarcity, I’m afraid
There is literally less available for the consumer because all the various chip fabs have had their capacity bought for AI data centre expansion.
This is not the same as a scalper situation where the supply has been taken but ultimately needs to be sold back to consumers. You, a single consumer, are competing with the buying power of the likes of Google, Amazon & Microsoft.
Plus they have booked up this capacity pretty far in advance, so even if they stopped buying up more today (they will not until the AI bubble pops), consumer prices aren’t going to change until all of that capacity reservation has passed. Then after that, all the companies that wanted to buy capacity, but couldn’t compete with the big ones will get their turn. Then eventually the fabs might find themselves with a bit of surplus capacity to increase the production of consumer hardware. Then there will be the pent-up consumer demand keeping prices elevated for a good number of months or years (depending how long this all goes on for). After all that, supply and demand could see prices dropping back down a bit.
These fabs will start to physically expand on order to increase capacity if it goes on long enough, but these kind of expansions take many years to build and bring online.
Other things to remember, the current US administration is motivated to prop up this bubble as long as they can because it’s basically the only industry in the US that’s not shitting the bed currently, so when it pops a lot of US GDP is going with it and probably going to cause a pretty bad recession. Another is inflation; by the time this is all over prices might have inflated enough due to the devaluation of money that any drop in prices would be offset.
Basically, I wouldn’t hold your breath
I have a tinfoil hat theory that the incumbent manufacturers have seen this coming and are basically trying to cash out before their cartel is demolished by cheap competition
