Is DDWRT still a thing?

Most mobile game developers just want to attract whales. People who spend thousands of dollars in their app. They don't care about everyone else because they don't make any money off anyone else.

For some games, 20% of players spend $1800 or more a year. One of those people spent $90k.

So if your game sucks for everyone else, it's not a big loss.

You could also argue that if even if you're not self-hosting (i.e. renting server hardware from a 3rd party), your data is still in a siloed environment. While it may be accessible by law enforcement if you are targeted specifically, it's unlikely to be dragnetted like the data collected from popular apps.

Oh. I was looking in the article itself.

I’m on mobile. I legit don’t see it anywhere. I must be blind.

You’re not gonna tell us the website?

Sure, but many people in the US have only one option for hardwired internet. Starlink and 5G options are the only other option.

I pulled down 100mbps and was able to FaceTime just fine. Maybe too much lag for serious online competitive play, but I never measured it.

And no bandwidth caps from what I’ve seen.

We got one for our camper. Works really well though we only use it in the summer months. What are your complaints?

 

Per my previous post, I’m working on updating my server that’s running a J3455 Celeron with 16gigs of ram.

Goals:

  • Support at least six hard drives (currently have six drives in software RAID 6). Can move 7th main drive to nvme.
  • Be faster at transcoding video. This is primarily so I can use PhotoPrism for video clips. Real-time transcoding 4K 80mbps video down to something streamabke would be nice. Despite getting QuickSync to work on the Celeron, I can’t pull more than 20fps unless I drop the output to like 640x480. Current build has no PCIe x16 slot.
  • Energy efficiency. Trying to avoid a dedicated video card.
  • Support more RAM. Currently maxed at 16gb.
  • Price: around $500
  • Server-grade hardware would be nice, but I want newer versions of quicksync and can’t afford newer server hardware. Motherboard choice is selected primarily because of chipset, number of SATA ports, and I found one open box.

Hoping to move my main drive to the NVME and keep the other six drives as-is without needing a reinstall.

Thoughts?

 

I'm trying to write a simple bash script that opens up GQRX, sends it some TCP commands, then closes it down.

Unfortunately, I've found that when I close the program like this, the next time it opens, it will pop up a window saying "crash detected" and ask me to review the configuration file. This prevents the app from loading unless someone is present to click the dialog box.

This error only seems to happen when I try to close the program using the bash script. Closing it by just clicking the X doesn't cause this problem next time it's launched.

I think I'm closing the app too aggressively which terminates it before it can wrap up its affairs, and it interprets this as a crash. What's the best way to close the app to keep this from happening?

I've tried:

  • pkill -3 gqrx
  • pkill -13 gqrx

But the problem persists. Is there an even softer way to close an application?
