All these naysaysers in the comments here… It’s obvious you have to keep the development pipeline moving. Just because we have one free codec at the stage of hardware support now does not mean the world can stop. There are always multiple codecs out there at various stages of adoption, that’s just normal.
Are there any advantages that are worth it for that budget range?
The only one I know of so far was short DDR traces and a reduction to two slots for extreme memory overclocking.
It seems to me that mini ITX is small enough to cost a little bit more. The cheapest seem to be micro ATX boards.
Sorry for the unfamiliar platform, but here’s a comparison I recently made for a friend looking to build a computer around the AM5 socket.
1 CHF = 1.25 USD, but of course prices are different across the continents, so a direct comparison would be difficult. I just hope the fundamental price difference between sizes holds globally.
I think the big negative is that you can’t keep anything, even when just one aspect if the micro PC really needs an upgrade.
If I were you I’d try to build a cheap computer around the AM5 socket, using the PSU and Case you already have. Then you have a way forward open.
Wow what a betrayal, poor guy. He works for an open source release for a year and they just rip it away from him. Fuck Alex Austin.
So if deliberately not buying Israeli stuff is illegal, does that imply everyone has to buy a minimum of Israeli stuff? Or can they continue to not buy Israeli stuff, as long as it’s without mens rea?
Ahh right! Thanks for correcting me. Now that you mention it I remember too. It also makes sense, a year is roughly 365.2425 days long. Add 0.25 (one out of four), subtract 0.01 (one out of hundred), add another 0.0025 (2.5 out of thousand which is 1 out of 400)
Leap years are each fourth year, except each hundredth year, except each thousandth fourhundredth year.
1896 leap year
1900 not leap year
1904 leap year
…
1996 leap year
2000 leap year
2004 leap year
…
2096 leap year
2100 not leap year
2104 leap year
Then you just arrange the 10 year window in different positions to overlap 1 to 3 leap years to reveal the three outcomes of the bug.
- / - - - / - - - /
- - / - - - / - - -
- - 0 - - - / - - -
- is a normal year, / is a leap year, 0 is an exceptional non-leap year.
Sure, here’s one example for each case:
1 day off: 3650 days before 1907-01-01 is 1897-01-02
2 days off: 3650 days before 2027-01-01 is 2017-01-03
3 days off: 3650 days before 2025-01-01 is 2015-01-04
The python version seems buggy as fuck. Depending on which year you run it it’s off by 1-3 days
Not sure about the enconding

If you’re forward thinking for future speed generations you definitely should go with singlemode fiber, by the way. Multimode is mostly done at 10Gbit/s as far as I know. There are some things like 40G and 100G SR4, over multimode but they use 4 fibers in each direction. Whereas I have personally installed 100G bidirectional lines already on singlemode over 10 km already, that’s easily commercially available (though it would be ridiculous for home use).
I think the price difference between 10G single mode and 10G multi mode gear has also decayed enough that taking the step up to singlemode is no big issue anymore.
Well I have never tried to deliberately break a fiber, usually my goal is to have them work when I’m done. But the bare fibers without mantle are really thin (250 micrometer is typical, 125 for core and cladding, and 125 around that for the coating) and you have to treat them carefully. I think if you bent them tight they would break. I know splicing tools have special cutters included, but my understanding was that those are only needed to make a proper 90° cut good for splicing.
It’s been a while but in this very comm someone posted pictures of a quadcopter drone with a 41.4 km drum. I’ll try to dig it up.
Here’s one https://sopuli.xyz/post/21919901, it was a hexacopter, not quad.
And in my search I also came across these links:
And finally here is even a demo video:
It seems fiber works fine even on manoeuvrable drones.
A friend at work has started experimenting with 10G LAN at home and at that speed one interesting observation is that the copper interfaces use significantly more power, like 8W vs 1W for an optical one or something like that. But it’s only really worth it if you have a significant portion of end devices that have SPF+ slots directly, with the converters you get the worst of both worlds really. Except for range.
Oh dang, here’s a screenshot at least:
Cabled G657.A1 fibers with a LSZH mantle is going to be more expensive compared to this bare fiber G652.D of course, but yeah there are people who start using it at home. The main issue is finding end devices with SFP slots, so you don’t have to convert between optical and electrical all over the house.
Not that expensive, probably under 10 USD for 10 km, given that I can find offers like below in a few minutes on Aliexpress
There is no way these bare fibers have the tensile strength necessary that you even could drag kilometers of it back to the operator through the terrain. You need to know, these are not full cables as you would normally use them for networking, that would be to heavy for the drone. Instead it’s single fiber strands without any mantle.
Are the drones actually dragging around cable?
Not quite, they spool them off from the drone as they go, so they don’t have to deal with any drag across the ground.
This can’t be glass, right? Plastic?
As far as I know they are using standard telecom fiber, so it’s silica glass, partially doped to make the refractive index between core and cladding different
Wow first I hear of an issuer doing that, that sucks
