Good laptop to use as Owncast server?
Apologies if this post ain’t right for this community! I’m admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I’ve a close buddy who’s wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He’s wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop. Ideally he’s needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate’s got a budget of ~£1,000. If there’s a better community for this lemme know!
Tech support workers, what are your favorite stories from your time in the industry?
What are your favorite bands from more obscure, lesser known countries?
After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti’s works I’ve been real interested in hearing music from smaller nations you don’t hear much stuff from. Doesn’t have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I’d love to hear that as well!
Win10) BSOD while running certain games
(I know Linux is better than Windows, there’s a better time and place for that talk) SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain’t causing issues cause I’ve tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes) Minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file [https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file] Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop. I’ve reinstalled drivers. I’ve disabled sound drivers. I’ve popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I’ve reapplied thermal paste four times. I’m on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I’ve had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I’m all but giving up. If the Internet can’t fix this shit, I’ll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.
What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
