I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s pretty good. For my watercooling it controls the fans and pump speed using liquidctl. Stuff plugged into the motherboard it controls directly.

However the connection between CoolerControl and liquidctl breaks all the damn time for some reason. With the latest update it’s broken again. I haven’t figured out exactly where the error is, because the error comes from liquidctl but I can’t reproduce it using just liquidctl. So it’s somewhere between CoolerControl (it’s daemon) and liquidctl. Once I figure it out I’ll post a bug report and it will be fixed soon I hope.

I wonder how much extra cpu load CoolerControl adds. Some manufacturer tools are known to be quite cpu intensive. I’ve seen the interval for CoolerControl be quite short, to react quickly to changes. But I think their clever way of splitting the UI from the actual control logic is very efficient. It probably means the cpu impact is minimal.

Excellent tool, would recommend!

On the other hand, if you say you are going to the bathroom, nobody expects you to take a shit in the bathtub

That’s the neat part, you don’t

He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?

Typescript on the other hand: Exwuse me sir, you seem to have a little oopsie right here. Oh right! Let me just fix that right up.

Both are moving just under Mach 1

Many providers have specific clauses for this. Ever since crypto mining became a thing providers have included in general terms you can’t over use the service. And often specifically against using it for crypto mining.

Providers will normally warn users and only kick them off when no explanation is forthcoming.

Usually this applies to shared services, like a VPS. You pay a lower price because you share hardware. But that only works if the hardware is shared fairly. If another user hogs all the resources, the service is no good for anyone. But it can also apply to seemingly dedicated services, like your own server for example. In that case the server is free to be used for whatever, but things like cooling and power are still shared. A regular dedicated server service will be based on typical use and can kick users out who require too much cooling or power. In cases where the resources are legitimately required, they will offer contracts that allow you to use all of the resources all of the time. But in turn you will have to pay a premium for something like that.

On the surface it may seem like a bit of bullshit, but that’s often what allows prices to be as low as they are. So I’m fine with it, as long as it’s made clear beforehand (which in my experience it is)

Nah fuck it, I’ll just turn on the radio. I don’t like pop songs or people talking all the time, but it’s probably fine for the 4 min drive?

Somehow the entire 4 minutes are only advertisements. And changing channels doesn’t help because all the channels sync up the times they do ads to prevent people from switching around. And even worse, it’s the same thing on the drive back.

I don’t think it’s worth the discussion, but comparing a fiat currency like the US dollar with crypto currency is a false equivalence argument. They aren’t even comparable.

Here I am, an old man. Waking up on Saturday feeling like shit. Thinking damn I shouldn’t have had that 3rd beer while watching a movie in bed Friday night and falling asleep at 23:00.

It never had any value, like all other crypto currencies. But it was used to fake value and dupe people out of their money.

Meh that may be true in some ways, but not really in this case. RTGs were made using a surplus from production for nuclear bombs. As that production ramped down combined with better solar and batteries, the demand went down and it became more expensive to produce them. So not making them made sense.

An RTG is really only useful for missions that go far away from the Sun, making solar non-viable. RTGs are a pain in the neck all throughout the process, are heavy and expensive (even back in the day). The amount of electrical power an RTG delivers is also very low. This is because an RTG only gets warm, nothing more. So we put TEG (Seebeck) devices on the sides to generate electrical energy from the thermal gradient. But TEGs suck ass, they are super inefficient. For example the RTG the big Mars rovers use put out 2000W of thermal energy, but they manage to get only 110W of electrical energy out of that. So if you are near enough to the Sun, solar is the much better option.

Who has nuclear diamond batteries? Those are a total myth drummed up to get investor money. They don’t actually exist.

Sure the concept exists, in the form of betavoltaic batteries, those have been around for decades. They are tough and last dozens of years if not longer. The only problem is, they put out microwatts. You can use them in very niche applications, but those are few and far between. It’s hard to convey how little power a microwatt is, it’s basically nothing.

What you care about when going to space is energy density, and the proposed energy density of nuclear diamond batteries is very poor.

Rtgs are very useful for longterm missions, but are crazy expensive. They also aren’t being made anymore, so getting a hold of one is hard. The weight is an issue as well, they are super heavy.

These commercial moon missions are primarily demonstrator missions. They aren’t meant to last, they don’t really have a goal and often don’t do something useful. The idea is to show you can do it, so you can sell a product. Other people that do want to do useful stuff can then pay to get their stuff to the moon. So if the mission is over when the sun sets in two weeks time, that’s perfectly fine.

And by anti-semitism they mean anti-Israel, like those are somehow the same thing.

Well the B580 is a budget / low-power GPU. All the discussions going around are for flagship and high-end GPUs. Intel isn’t in that space yet, but we can hope they have a B7xx or B9xx lined up which makes some waves.
