  • You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

    For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

    The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.








  • the original 1s and 0s

    I think your issue starts there, you already have to decide how to build your sensor:

    • If it’s a CMOS sensor how strong do the MOSFETs amplify? That should affect brightness and probably noise.
    • How quickly do you vertically shift the data rows? The slower the stronger the rolling shutter effect will be.
    • What are the thresholds in your ADC? Affects the brightness curve.
    • How do you layout the color filter grid? Will you put in twice as many green sensors compared to blue or red as usual? This should affect the color balance.
    • How many pixels will you use in the first place? If there is many each will be more noisy, but spacial resolution should be better.

    All of these choices will lead to different original 1s and 0s, even before any post-processing.




  • Is this indicative of future potential bottlenecks? Maybe but i wouldnt be so sure.

    This is exactly what I expect. I have seen what happened to my friends with their GTX 970 when 3.5 GB of VRAM wasn’t enough anymore. Even though the cards were still rasterizing quickly enough they weren’t useful for certains games anymore. Therefore I recently make sure I go for enough VRAM to extend the useful service life of my cards.

    And I’m not just talking about buying AMD, I actually do buy them. I first had the HD 5850 with 1GB, then got my friends HD 5870 also with 1GB (don’t remember if I used it in crossfire or just replaced), then two of my friends each sold me their HD 7850 with 2GB for cheap and I ran crossfire, then I bought a new R9 380 with 4GB when a game that was important to me at the time couldn’t deal with crossfire well, then I bought a used RX 580 with 8GB and finally the RX 6800 with 16 GB two years ago.

    At some point I also bought a used GTX 960 because we were doing some CUDA stuff at University, but that was pretty late, when they weren’t current anymore, and it was only used in my Linux server.






  • Of the two RIPE actually existed first. RIPE isn’t just a forum, it is the community of European and Middle Eastern IP network operators. It started as coordination meetings of some European operators and grew from there. At some point the RIPE community was large enough that they founded the RIPE Network Coordination Center with full time employees as a sort of secretary role for the community. Later when the RIRs were created to decentralize the management of IP resources that job was assigned to the RIPE NCC for the RIPE region.

    My work place is one of those original European operators and the colleage who represented us at ripe-1 is also still employed, though close to retirement now :-)


  • When I get a call at home while already wearing my wired headset I like to just plug it into the phone.

    Since my current phone was bought used I had to compromise on some things, so I don’t have a headphone jack anymore. I use a USB-C Adapter now. I use it for most phone calls, especially the longer ones with family. So probably for a few hours per month.

    For quite a long time, until about 2021, I was still using wired headphones when on the go, but nowadays I’m addicted to noise cancelling, so that use case has moved to Bluetooth now. My protective headsets from work (both the over-ear and the in-ear set) also use Bluetooth.
