The bosses are too complex and too fast.

I just straight up wasn't having any fun fighting most bosses. I went through the game dreading about finding the next boss fight.

Yet the good parts about the game are so good they pushed me through all the frustrating boss fights.

I don't think the runbacks, or the 2 masks of damage, or the healing system are unbalanced or unfair. It's just too hard. Any runback is going to be annoying, grating and a waste of time after doing it for the 50th time.

Finished Silksong somehow.

The story, characters, world design, exploration are all incredible. The soundtrack may be one of the best video game soundtracks ever, its breathtaking.

I think its far too hard. It stops being rewarding and challenging and just becomes frustrating.

Every time I store stuff on filesystem or object storage I "dream" of just keeping everything in the db and forgetting about it. Fewer things to backup, no need to think about syncing db with fs, etc.

yeah but I assume its not SELECT'ing the entire video and then sending it right?

I got curious and just found out about `sqlite3_blob_open` huh

Wow, how?

What even uses atime? its like a 'lose performance for free' toggle.

My immich server was pretty slow so I was searching how to improve its performance, disabled atime and now its perfect.

Hardware encoding uses a special block (not the shaders), so I don't know if the concept of parallelism even applies in the traditional sense.

Espi @espi.moe · 10d

Hardware encoding is fast and uses very little power but its way way way worse when it comes to quality.

Not an expert either but I guess that if you get something wrong you can't just send an update, so hardware designers have to be extremely conservative when designing the encoders?

Multiple of the same display rocks. No weird DPI problems or windows jumping around/being resized when moving them across monitors.

Went to check out the iPhone Air to a store and wow its thin.

Also I kinda don't care lol.

I do want to downsize from my 15 Pro Max, too big and heavy. Loved the weight of the Air, but its still kinda big.

Either the disk is dying (SMART says its fine and it doesn't sound wrong haha), or Hyper-V handing physical disks is finicky?

Espi @espi.moe · 12d

Apparently something went wrong in the resilver cause one of the disks was getting errors. Restarted the VM and the pool disappeared, restarted host and everything was fine? but a scrub did repair 50GB on the disk that was throwing errors.

Espi @espi.moe · 12d

Migrated my home PC from Storage Spaces to ZFS. I hand the Hyper-V VM the disks directly instead of a virtual disk kept in spaces.

Overfitting is neat

Graph of time series.

Predictions on the train data match the real data perfectly.
Predictions on test data diverge significantly with real data.

I have the Thieaudio Monarch and they were absolutely godly but one of the sides failed and lost the bass.

Straight up made me lose interest in IEMs. Now I just use over ears (DT770) and Airpods.
