  • The differences are astonishing Asmongold is pretty much a gaming and bad takes second hand streamer. Whose only identity is kissing right wing politician’s ass, even when they actively hate and attack him.

    Then Charlie is there with movie and music credits, anime and comics productions, podcasts, business ventures, and also streaming. With every single of his political takes and controversies being morally and ethically sound and consistent.

    They are like Superman and bizarro, mirror images of each other, similar but opposites at the same time.

    Oh, and asswithmold face is the most punchable face on the internet (second only to PirateSoftware’s) while Charlie’s is sculpted by the gods themselves.

    It’s just fun with alliteration. It is not so random if you know Italian, they are basically alliterative puns. Sahur is Indonesian, there are version with several languages who have come up with it in the same spirit as the Italian original ones. Usually accompanied by shitty AI renders, because, well using gen ai images is en vogue.

    Really good 4K+ scans of film made with HDR in mind can look even better than that. That video demo has some amateurish lighting here and there. Hollywood level professional lighting and production looks extraordinary if tone mapping was properly done during digital scan. Right now there’s a lot of bad quality HDR and sketchy OLED panels around, though.


  • Oh dear Winston, don’t you love big brother?

    You are the Neo in The Matrix, a prisoner of the struggle you are so thoroughly convinced you chose to fight in. The Ghorman protester running in shouting your rebellion at the Empire’s beat into the plaza.

    So completely brainwashed that even the concept of winning the fight frightens and freezes you.

    Rebels who admire their oppressors make marketers salivate.

    That’s you.


  • Companies secretly love their software being pirated, in a marketing sense. It means they’re the most popular option. Microsoft’s attempts to stop Windows piracy were gestures to keep legal protections. So are adobe’s. It means they still get to keep the monopoly over the industry, even if the people pirating it don’t immediately give them money. It forces corporate employers to shell out big budgets for subscriptions. It means freelancers have to acquire licenses if they want to work with the big contractors. Every person who pirates their software to learn it, is another fish feeding their stranglehold on the graphics industry. It means they get to dictate what is the standard and force billion dollar companies to conform to them and not the other way around. It’s a blight. Piracy keeps the status quo.



  • People are using NAS for things they aren’t meant to do. They are a storage service and aren’t supposed to be anything else. In a typical data center model, NAS servers are intermediate storage. Meant for fast data transfers, massive storage capabilities and redundant disk fault tolerance. We are talking hundreds of hard drives and hundred gigabit connection speeds inside the data center. This is expensive to run, so they are also very energy efficient, meant to keep the least amount of required disks spinning at any given moment.

    They are not for video rendering, data wrangling, calculations or hosting dozens of docker containers. That’s what servers are for.

    Servers have the processing power and host the actual services. They then request data from a NAS as needed. For example, a web service with tons of images and video will only have the site logic and UI images on the server itself. The content, video and images, will be on the NAS. The server will have a temporary cache where it will copy the most frequently accessed content and new content on demand. Any format conversion, video encoding, etc. Will be done by the server, not the NAS.

    Now, on self-hosting of course, anything goes and they are just computers at the end of the day. But if a machine was purpose made for being a NAS server, it won’t have the most powerful processor, and that’s by design. They will have, however, an insane amount of sata, PCI-e channels and drive bays. And a ton of sophisticated hardware for data redundancy, hotswap capacity and high speed networks that is less frequent in servers.
