Well, all I know is that it’s a significant uplift over a Vega. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be faster than a 3070, but I’m not sure if it’s enough faster to be worth it. I guess if it’s on the bubble, AMD playing nicer with Linux might push it over the edge. You should read/watch reviews or something; you’ll be able to get much better advice from e.g. Gamer’s Nexus than from me.

One thing I will say is that, in my experience, standing in line at Microcenter on launch day is the only way to have a decent chance at getting a video card at MSRP these days. Since you missed that for the 9070 XT, maybe wait until whatever AMD makes next (9070 XTX? 9060? 9080??) comes out and try to get one of those on launch day.

You should definitely not be desperate enough to pay higher-than-MSRP prices just to get more RAM and easier to deal with drivers.

A Vega 56. If you think your 3070 might be obsolete we have vastly different perspectives, LOL!

I was under the impression that RDNA3 was still pretty bad at raytracing in general. What I’m really wondering though, having just bought a 9070 XT, is what about RDNA4?

So I’ve been reading up on it a little bit and it seems like raytracing is part of Vulkan and DirectX 12, so the APIs shouldn’t be proprietary the way CUDA and PhysX are…right?

So this might be a stupid question considering how tied to Nvidia it seems to be, but… will run on the new AMD 90-series cards that can actually do ray-tracing?

Inspired by yesterday’s Jeff Geerling video, were we?

TIL having self-respect is “crazy” and a “holy crusade.”

What a fucking simp you are. Sad.

To be fair, the rumored $750 MSRP is ridiculous too.

Thanks, I now also understand the purpose of Immich because of this post.

I, too, have such an interest. One thing I ran across about two months ago that I thought was neat was a project for a DIY wind gauge with no moving parts.

Hi folks, I’m the mod @GreenKnight23 is complaining about.

I removed four of his comments for incivility, out of the eight he had posted in the thread at the time. I chose those four and only those four because they consisted pretty much entirely of insults and accusations against another user. I omitted the other four because, while some of them contained incivility too, they also contained valid arguments and/or weren’t as egregious.

The comments removed were:

• https://lemmy.world/comment/14285074
• https://lemmy.world/comment/14288217
• https://lemmy.world/comment/14288405
• https://lemmy.world/comment/14285112

The contents of these comments are visible in the !fuckcars modlog:

https://lemmy.world/modlog/3902?page=1&actionType=All

He then proceeded to post the paranoid unhinged rant attacking me that he copied above, basically leaving me no choice but to ban him. After some waffling over the duration (which you can also see reflected in the modlog), I chose to temporarily ban him for 1 day, the shortest interval possible.

The contents of that removed comment are not visible in the !fuckcars modlog.

Later, he wrote the comment here in !selfhosted I’m now replying to (which I noticed because it showed up in my inbox due to the username mention) and I read that he claimed that all of his comments in the thread were removed. At first I thought it was just a blatant lie and began writing a rebuttal, but then I realized that he’s right: all of them are gone, and there are no entries in the modlog detailing why they were removed or who did it.

I think what happened was that when I banned him, I checked the “remove content” checkbox thinking that it removed the comment I was banning him for, but it apparently removed all of his comments in the thread instead. Worse, it doesn’t record in the modlog that that’s what it did. On top of that, unbanning him doesn’t undo the comment removals, which is unfortunate because testing that possibility and then re-banning him afterward reset the timer to the full 24 hours again.

Anyway, I’ve looked through the thread and attempted to individually restore the comments I never intended to remove. That in itself is difficult because I can’t see what the original text was until I restore it, and the comment IDs apparently change(!) when the original text is overwritten or when they’re viewed in context or something (I haven’t quite figured out the reason yet), so I can’t just match the numbers in the URLs. Nevertheless, the state of his comments in the thread should be as intended now. Also, I learned something new about how moderation works, so that’s nice I guess.

P.S.: I’d like to give a special shout-out to this comment of his…

• https://lemmy.world/comment/14285516

…which I not only didn’t remove initially but also went to the trouble of restoring, even though it almost certainly deserves removal, just because of the minuscule chance that the deleted comment it’s replying to contained something that somehow justified it. That’s how lenient I’ve intended to be this entire time, and had still been in practice at the point @GreenKnight23 posted his rant.

P.P.S. I’m not actually colluding with any other users, BTW.

It’s a shame it’s still based on a proprietary game engine. I look forward to someday when Skyblivion and Skywind game assets can run in some future version of OpenMW that has feature parity with the Skyrim engine.

If I understand correctly, it’s kinda like an add-on IPMI, in the sense that it doesn’t rely on the target computer’s OS to be running to work.

I’m glad you posted this because I need similar advice. I want a GPU for Jellyfin transcoding and running Ollama (for a local conversation agent for Home Assistant), splitting access to the single GPU between two VMs in Proxmox.

I would also prefer it to be AMD as a first choice or Intel as a second, because I’m still not a fan of Nvidia for their hostile attitude towards Linux and for proprietary CUDA.

(The sad thing is that I probably could have accomplished the transcoding part with just integrated graphics, but my AMD CPU isn’t an APU.)

That’s just a laptop with extra steps.

Disclaimer: I am wildly speculating as someone who has been been paying attention to smart home tech for a long time, but only minimally so because every time I checked it seemed too immature/janky/proprietary/etc. to bother dealing with. (It’s only recently, with the advent of stuff like Home Assistant, ESPHome, Tasmota, and hopefully-imminent Matter and Thread, that I’ve started to dip my toes in.)

First of all, I feel like a decade ago Z-Wave used to be the cheaper option. Second, my impression is that Z-wave, as an older standard with questionable compliance/implementation accuracy across vendors, just didn’t work quite as well as Zigbee, which I guess would make it less popular over time and therefore eventually more expensive due to fewer economies of scale.

I believe that Z-wave is more open then Zigbee (although it didn’t start out that way, and it’s unclear to me whether it’s completely so now or not).

Thread exists because it’s meant to be the royalty-free replacement for both of them (and the first royalty-free standard since X10).

No it is not! It’s a standard, but is by no means an “open” one. Use of it requires paying royalties to the Zigbee Alliance.

I’d rather set up a point-to-point wireless link with directional antennas and exactly two base stations than rely on every little IoT device having long range. Better yet, such a link could be high-bandwidth and capable of handling things like data backups and Internet access failover.
