ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Vieš o nejakej slovenskej inštácii alebo komunite? Občas pozerám českú inštáciu kyberpunk.social a mám tam aj komunitu !DeepWebCZ, ale kvôli obmedzenej federácii nie je veľa vhodná pre hlavný účet, aj keď má zo všetkých Lemmy serverov najkratšiu dobu odezvy.
(Ako sa ti páči moj pokus o slovenčinu?)

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Yes but people say “sorting algorithms” when describibg programs that put elements of a list in the correct order.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

If those are separate pieces of metal embedded in the skin, they will feel something. If it’s just an incomplete ring, it will draw so much current that the battery voltage drops too low to feel anything but the heat.

Very thorough. I’ll just add stylization: √−̅1̅ = 𝑖

It is possible from a technical standpoint (look up libdvd or MakeMKV) but it might not be worth it for some titles. Here are some considerations:

  • ➖ Pressed DVDs, as opposed to DVD±R(W)s, last very long and do not take up too much physical space on spindles, in paper sleeves or organizers (depends on your apartment size of course). Drives do fail but can be acquired cheaply (or for free if you salvage them from old PCs and have a USB adapter).
  • ➕ DVDs will always have worse compatibility with modern equipment than MP4. Good luck getting a smart TV to play one from a drive over USB.
  • ➕ For content that only ever existed as SD video, your non-reencoded rip will be pretty much the highest quality available.
    • ➖ That rip will almost certainly be in SD MPEG-2, interlaced (unless it’s a movie), and gigabytes in size, usually a little over 4 or 7 GiB (most discs are single-layer or double-layer and the video bitrate is set to fill the capacity).
      • You can reduce file size to 10-25% by reencoding to H.264 or H.265, using a lot of computing power and losing a little quality. H.265 does not support interlacing and takes way longer to encode, but you can fit a good-looking 100-minute HD movie on a CD with it! Many pirates overestimate the bitrate they need with H.265, leading to unnecessarily giant release files.
  • ➖ Likely not a concern for you but ripping copy-protected DVDs could be illegal even for personal use while downloading others’ HD rips might not be, like in my country.
  • DVD subtitles are 1bit bitmaps, ugly and relatively big in terms of storage. Their positioning is tied to video resolution so they will be at the center left if muxed with HD video. The MKV container is the only modern one that handles them at all. Converting to SRT or other text-based formats requires OCR (which does not always fully work). If they aren’t on OpenSubtitles.org, I would rip them, skim the OCR and upload them there.
  • ➖ You will lose interactivity but that was usually more of a nuisance than a feature. I don’t think Bandersnatch or another similarly suitable title ever released on DVD. (Yes, I am confident that DVD Video is just barely capable of holding the entirety of that movie’s footage with full interactivity and everything but I doubt Netflix bothered, it would have cost a fortune.)

I would definitely back up niche DVDs but not mainstream ones – depends on how much you trust the scene to have your back. Up to you, really.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

They have no third-party clients either, which I assume is to prevent piracy (which will happen anyway). For me, it has the opposite effect – I would pay if they enabled downloads. Now I just freeload the non-exclusive content off YouTube.

...Because I’m bad at identifying sarcasm, this section exists in case “Ain’t that a basic feature nowadays :/” was meant sarcastically (it could be because of how much more popular streaming has become as opposed to downloading). Well, I don’t really have mobile data (way too expensive in my country), so I pre-download videos to watch/listen to in public transit.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I was considering Nebula – many of my subscriptions are there – but I need downloading (I am currently using NewPipe for that) and they have also had some anti-anti-Zionist tendencies.

registry setting enabled that lets you run non 64 bit programs

Do they seriously not support 32bit software out of the box anymore? I know getting 16bit software to run on x64 is close to impossible (look up NTVDM x64) for obvious reasons but there is still lots of x86-only stuff.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Only if you look for them. Not really in your face.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Ummm… vans of all sizes are way more common than flatbed trucks here.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Camo trucks already exist.

That being said, this idea is largely a joke, and I don’t mind @Waker being sarcastic about it.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Oh yes, good old g/floz

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

He was a monk, after all. Breeding mammals is not something that celibacy-bound people usually do.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Some kind of glue can be made out of keratin but there is too little in a person, as opposed to cows.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Our group had a presentation on Martin Luther:

– “Where should we put the 1521 Diet of Worms?”

– “Wow, he was a hermit for a year? Put it at the top of Fun Facts.”

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I hope they’re not one of those fascism-leaning “centrists”

Does multiplexing a usb power cable from 2 cables into 1 impact energy efficiency?

I have two led strips used for 2x27" monitor bias lighting. Each have their own USB cables for power. These two USB cables are plugged into a 2-port wall charger for a phone. I would like to use a 2x female to 1x male adapter to join the two USB cables into one, then plug it into a much smaller 1-port USB wall charger. The...

The strips use 3V white LEDs, power to which is delivered via resistors or linear current regulators. Unless you see any inductors, there is no buck converter from 5 V to 3 V.

Why does this matter? Well, with resistors and linear regulators, 𝐼in (current in) pretty much equals 𝐼out (current out). So the efficiency 𝜂 = 𝑃in / 𝑃out = (𝐼 × 3 V) / (𝐼 × 5 V) = 60 %. Extra cable resistance will reduce the current, brightness and power, but still exactly 40% of power leaving the USB charger will be wasted before it gets to the LEDs.

However, I would advise against multiple, cheap USB connectors in the circuit: when moving the setup, their resistance changes somewhat and you would get blinking. The worst thing that could happen is a switch, such low voltage cannot spark over an oxide layer and eventually even small movement will blink the lights. I would get a good thick USB cable and solder it directly to one of the strips instead of whatever it came with, connecting the other with some thick wires.

So it does not matter, if you want better efficiency, use 12V (75%) or 24V strips (87%), or get just an LED array without resistors that needs a constant current driver (theoretically 100% but CC PSUs are slightly less efficient). Or make a constant current driver by fine-tuning the voltage of a PSU (by adjusting the feedback resistive divider) to 0.5-1 V above the LEDs’ voltage drop, then using an appropriate resistor to limit the current.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I am assuming the LEDs are white (blue with yellow phosphor), which always have a roughly 3V voltage drop, this is just a physical fact. Some chips like those in LED bulbs have several LEDs in series for a voltage drop of 6/9/12/15/18 V but this is not the case here.

The vast majority of 5V strips have no step-down switching power supply (aka constant current buck converter) to reduce 5 V from the power rails to 3 V, instead just driving the LEDs with a resistor in series – it drops 2 V and if it’s a 100Ω resistor (usually labeled “101”), it lets 20 mA to the LED as per Ohm’s law. In practice, multiple LEDs are often in parallel to one resistor to save cost, in which case the current divides among them.

The strip may be RGB, in which case the LED voltages are 🔴1.8 V 🟢2.4-3.0 V 🔵3 V and pretty much the same applies. There may be an external controller but it usually just uses PWM to pulse the 5V rail of each color rather than adjusting the current. Individually cntrollable LED strips have a chip driving each LED, and there is just one power rail and serial data line between them.

By the way, the resistance of the strip’s power rails may be significant. If this is the case, do this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCsDZK0tJvU&amp;t=393

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I thought that was the inside view…

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

I think those are ^1^/100 units (like pennies/cents)
