  • autistic complaining about units

    ok so like I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more confusing use of units . at least you haven’t used the p infix instead of the / in bandwith units .

    like you used both upper case and lowercase in units but like I can’t say if it was intentional or not ? especially as the letter that is uppercased should be uppercased ?

    anyway

    1Mb

    is theoretically correct but you likely ment either one megabyte (1 MB) or one megibyte (MiB) rather than one megabit (1 Mb)

    ~325mb/s

    95mb/s

    and

    9mb/s

    I will presume you did not intend to write ~325 milibits per second , but ~325 megabits per seconds , though if you have used the 333 333 request count as in the segment you quoted , though to be fair op also made a mistake I think , the number they gave should be 3 exabits per second (3 Eb/s) or 380 terabytes per seconds (TB/s) , but that’s because they calculated the number of requests you can make from a 1 gigabit (which is what I assume they ment by gbit) wrong , forgetting to account that a byte is 8 bits , you can only make 416 666 of 4 kB (sorry I’m not checking what would happen if they ment kibibytes sorry I underestimated how demanding this would be but I’m to deep in it now so I’m gonna take that cop-out) requests a second , giving 380 terabits per second (380 Tb/s) or 3.04 terabytes per second (3.04 TB/s) , assuming the entire packet is exactly 114 megabytes (114 MB) which is about 108.7 megibytes (108.7 MiB) . so anyway

    packet size theoretical bandwidth
    1 Mb 416.7 Gb/s 52.1 GB/s
    1 MB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    1 MiB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    300 kb 125.0 Gb/s 15.6 GB/s
    300 kB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    300 kiB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    30 kb 12.5 Gb/s 1.6 GB/s
    30 kB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s
    30 kiB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s

    hope that table is ok and all cause im in a rush yeah bye











  • Support for Steam Deck != support for Linux version.

    You are correct , however proton ( and the upstream project wine ) is made for linux not the steam deck , ie a game which works on the steam deck will work on linux in most cases .

    proton / wine can also be used to run a lot of non game software made for windows ( though proton is made explicitly for games ) , though I will admit steam has the best ux around running software using wine or proton .

    but yes it is a Tim Sweeney problem , not a Linux problem .

    something I will also add is that they have at least part of the game running on linux already , unless they are paying a fortune in both licencing and lost performance by running the games servers on windows .



  • honestly I thought this was great but then I read the article

    “We did it so that we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos, who have manias, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing,” The Clueless founder Rubén Cruz told Euronews.

    Diana Núñez, co-founder of The Clueless, told Fortune in an email that the pair were mainly taken aback by the “skyrocketing costs” of those influencers.

    It has proved a highly lucrative venture for the company, with Cruz telling Euronews that Aitana brings in an average of €3,000 ($3,300) a month, but on one occasion took in €10,000 ($10,900). Núñez told Fortune that most of this money comes from social media ads, and Aitana has also signed on to become an ambassador for a sports supplement brand.

    for context , according to SalaryExplorer.com wages for fashion models in Spain range between 1 320€ and 3 700€ , with the median being 2 190 €



  • I don’t as there is a service called blik in my country which seems private enough and is way more hassle free to use. It generates one time use codes for payment and requires user confirmation for each payment. Not sure how private it is on the back end, but it pretty much gets rid of the same risks virtual credit cards target. It’s also pretty well supported, both by banks and payment processors.

    Again not sure how private it is on the back end, but, at least for me, its more user friendly than using a credit card so I cant be bothered.

    Edit: the privacy policy for both blik and their website (I think?) is 13 pages, 9 of which give a detailed description of how they use cookies. Also the privacy regulations here are quite strict and they actually follow them, so you can not opt into cookies with as much effort as it takes to opt in. It is also a service made by banks, so I feel its quite trust wordy.

    Also OP, if the banks web extention doesn’t require access to all websites, it probably won’t track you, at least more than your bank tracks you already.
