Yeah but Brave? Why not Firefox or Vivaldi.

No, you're not dreaming. Killer Bean is back.

Same with r/antiwork they closed briefly and when Reddit sneezed their way, they opened the sub instantly. Talking about hypocrisy.

The change will come once people start searching for stuff on Google and they get results which link back to lemmy. For that to happen we need people asking for help/feedback and getting their answers here.

I'm ok with them. What really bores me in movies are the fighting scenes near the end of the movie, when they encounter the bad guys. They share fists in each other's faces for a good 10 minutes until one of them decides to go down. I usually skip forward. 1 minute fight scenes should be enough.

 

The entire game is experienced through your ears. You're blindfolded and going against traffic. Cars rushing past, angry drivers yelling at you. Cops on your tail. And a sadistic madman on the phone. Can you do it?

Play as Donnie, trying to make a quick buck in a scientific study but quickly finding himself in over his head, cuffed to the wheel and driving blindfolded against traffic. Plus he's late for dinner with Grandma.

It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

 

Read this article and thought it perfectly fits that subreddit. Of course based on the subs rules, I removed the company's name 🤡. Wonder how long it will stay up.

Collect valuable resources by hunting, mining, fishing and foraging to expand and customise your town and attract new townsfolk and businesses. Share your new home with friends and protect each other as you explore beautiful landscapes filled with dangerous predators.

It's a nice mix between Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. So if you don't have access to a Switch, it might scratch that itch. It's a lot more complex than AC.

The game wants to be a Stardew Valley/farming sim in space. I really liked the idea and have been closely watching the game.

It had a successful Kickstarter campaign but then the original devs handed the game to their publisher and bailed. The game had a nice pixel art look and feel but then they switched to a mix of 3d and pixel art. I was a big fan of the initial look.

The EA version compared to the demo version doesn't have any new features. At the moment, I recommend to whishlist it and wait to see how it evolves. Reviews are mixed.

Bumpstick is a unique platformer, where you control a bouncy neon stick and move through levels as fast as possible.

The game is deceptively simple but so good as you try to control the stick. I played the demo 3 time already, trying to improve my time in each level.

Looking to upgrade my Synology DS218+ to a 4 or 5 bay NAS because I am running out of storage. These past few days, I saw everybody and their mother say you cannot edit on anything else than a 10gig ethernet.

At the moment I am editing stuff from my workstation(AMD 5800x, 3060TI, 64GB, 1TB NVME) and I was curios how much worse would the experience be if I tried to edit from the NAS via my 1gig ethernet.

Most of my work is shot in 4k 150MBps and some even in 1080p.

So I copied around 5gigs of footage to my main NVME and the same footage on my NAS. First I added the NVME footage in a 4k timeline, chopped it up a little, threw 5 random LUTs, threw a noise reduction node and a camera shake effect. Playback in the edit page was ok, my GPU was gasping for air but playback was smooth. I rendered it at 16MBps and it came out in 5:22minutes.

Next, I deleted that footage, emptied cache and added the same clips from the NAS with the same cuts, LUTS and noise reduction. Playback was also super smooth and it rendered in 5:23minutes, so 1 second slower. That must be why everyone says you need 10GbE.

During all this time I had the Synology resource monitor on and it jumped at 30MBps at most.

So no real difference between the two. Next I took around 50gigs of footage and threw it on the same timeline, stacked it 4-5 times and indeed it was slow but it was because Davinci was caching stuff, when it finished the playback was super smooth.

All the time, proxies were disabled so the PC had to do all the work, if I add proxies it's a breeze.

I think that's where the difference comes in, Davinci is caching the clips and it doesn't really constantly read the original files.

I'm not saying you don't need more than 1gig, especially if you have more people working at the same time. If you work with RAW footage or footage that's 400MBps and up but the videos and posts I saw made it seem like even if you edit phone videos, 10GbE is a must....

Not a scientific test but I was super surprised to see that it made no difference if I was editing locally or from my NAS.
