No way the estimate is real for Tbilisi. For €1047/mo you'd be living like a king there. Especially with post-Covid prices.

It's kind of vague and hit-and-miss though, even on non-NUC systems ASRock not always supports ECC. Supposedly it's because of AMD's (lack of) clarity about the matter (according to an ASRock rep, at least)

This is the mail I sent them in January. Still waiting for a response:

> (This is a pretty technical sales question)

> I wanted to know about the ECC compatibility of Asrock Rack X470D4U > In the specifications (https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X...) it says the following:

> "*For Picasso Ridge and Raven Ridge CPUs, ECC is only supported with PRO CPUs."

> However, there is no such thing as "Picasso Ridge". There is however Pinnacle Ridge and Raven Ridge. Perhaps a mistake?

> So I was wondering what AMD CPUs had full ECC compatibility (so both detection and correction)

> Does the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 have full ECC support on that board, for example?

I don't know. I'd argue that if the production process is influenced by the loudness war, then it too becomes part of the loudness war.

For example, a technique of masking distortion (or clipping, rather) is adding something with rich harmonic content (a trumpet for example) to parts that are expected to be hitting the wall and otherwise distorting / clipping.

Would trumpets be there otherwise? I don't know, but I'm sure producers are aware of the limitations of digital audio and as such adapt the music to it.

Might be unnecessary if deepfake technology is used.

Yep, this is in my ~/.bash_aliases :

  # Usage: nullpointer_upload <file>
  nullpointer_upload () { curl -F "file=@$1" https://0x0.st ;}

Thanks, here's a direct link to avoid paywall: https://0x0.st/-mQu.jpeg

Right, I was referring to this attack as a whole.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time deep fake technology has been used to carry out a disinformation attack on politicians.

I wonder if the actual video conferences have been recorded. I'm very curious to see them.

Not to be confused with Haven from the Guardian Project: https://guardianproject.github.io/haven/

What CPU are you running it on and how many cores are being used? Are you also in really large rooms like Techlore and Matrix HQ? Because I think I'm in all of the largest rooms (and a lot of the smaller ones)
absorber

Yes, but IMO the Matrix team should _really_ focus on Dendrite since Synapse is extremely resource hungry and prevents a lot of people (including me) from running their own servers.

As someone who likes to make music with (analog) synthesizers, I understood some of those words!

I see this as a missed opportunity by not including independent artists that release their music licensed under Creative Commons.

Imagine offering an option to switch to only CC music. That would boost exposure of (usually) independent artists while at the same time clearing streamers from any copyright issues.

As an independent music producer myself, I for one would love the notion of my music being included in a game like this, even for free.

> Unfortunately there are massive headwinds against open source in US healthcare settings.

This reminds me of one of the first articles I've read about Linux and open source in general. It was about a CEO (and largest shareholder) of Medsphere Systems Corp, who open sourced their tech stack (I believe called OpenVista) and was promptly sued by his own company (!)

Unfortunately it seems that the sands of time have eroded the original content (which was apparently hosted on linux-watch.com, which now redirects to a VPS provider), but I've still managed to find something [0] [1] [2]
