  • Why the 7900XT and not a 9070 or 9070XT? Stock issue? Both are overkill for 1080p gaming but if you're trying to future proof, wouldn't the newer card with FSR4 be the better option?

  • Not just crumbs in the CPU socket: Over 100 AMD 9800X3D chips are now reported to have gone pop and the most by far have died in ASRock motherboards

  • When I bought my B650 Lightning, Wendell from Level1Techs recommendations over the years played a big part. I haven't found a single thing to complain about.

  • "Mindfactory's sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively."

    Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

    If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

  • Proxmox vs. Debian: Running media server on older hardware

    Jump

  • None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It's going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

    Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

  • Help me choose hardware for my first custom setup

  • Any low power device is going to struggle with video playback unless you're doing direct streaming. The exception being the new Intel N line of processors that have capable enough GPUs to do the transcoding. If all you're after is decent transcoding performance for H264/H265 video, anything newer than Intel's 7-8th gen CPUs will do the job. $100-$200 used optiplexes and thinkcentres can easily handle this type of workload.

  • Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you're having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.

    Carney says Canada’s tariffs to stay until US shows ‘respect’

    Jump

  • I don't think they're saying it's good economics and yes, for the most part, we understand how these tariffs will affect us.

    But there's a lot of anger at Trump here. Booing the American national anthem is not something we do lightly. I haven't seen people this united for a common cause for a long time. I regularly see people checking labels at grocery stores to avoid buying American even if we have to pay more.

    We know a recession is likely for both countries and we'll be hit harder by it. It's a small price to pay for our sovereignty.

  • Why is the IPTV scene such a toxic shit hole?

    Jump

  • I think kickassduke42 and I have been using the same source of info. It's all thanks to mrrobvs at the other site and started with this post. Prior to that, I had always used various resellers at 2x-5x of what I'm paying now.

    I'm surprised that group hasn't been taken down yet. Maybe we could find a way to post reviews of the various services, something that doesn't clutter up the community and makes it easy to search for relevant info.

  • Why is the IPTV scene such a toxic shit hole?

    Jump

  • So what exactly are the rules here about discussing various providers and sources. I'm not a reseller (have no intention of becoming one) but I do have useful info to share. Would be nice to have a dedicated lemmy community that is safe from the usual takedowns & spam.

  • Any good paid SMS number service?

  • Yes. The first number didn't work so I refunded it but it worked on the 2nd try.

  • Something to also keep in mind is the codec support of the GPU for hardware decoding and transcoding if that's important to you. The Optiplexes will mostly be fine in this regard but if you see yourself needing AV1 support anytime soon, Intel's N line is an efficient and relatively cheap option. Getting HDR tone mapping working at the hardware level might also be something to look out for.

  • The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame.

  • Agreed but that's just life in Linux in general. If epic and gog don't want to do the work to have a legitimate option in Linux (makes sense given market share), we'll keep doing the best we can with the hacky options while supporting the platform that is putting in the work.
