Those who custom built their PCs (or plan to), what are your specs and usecases?

I'm half-way through buying all of my parts.

Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev'ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don't intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

China’s Domestic x86 CPU, the Zhaoxin KX-7000, Debuts in an AI PC by MAXHUB, Positioning It as a Viable Alternative to Intel/AMD Options

Archived ver.: https://web.archive.org/web/20250828103802/https://wccftech.com/china-domestic-x86-cpu-the-zhaoxin-kx-7000-debuts-in-an-ai-pc-by-maxhub/

Original source, including in-depth tests and other fancy details of the CPU used in the MAXHUB PC itself (written in Mandarin): https://news.mydrivers.com/1/1070/1070803_all.htm

CPU-Z Single-Core Benchmark and specs from the original source:

That's an 8-core, ~3GHz Base Speed, 32MB L3 cache CPU for the number-crunchers around here.

On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:

In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.

And that's a good thing, lol.

(TF2 Speedrun) Getting a kill with every weapon Medic% (6:21)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/32098885

Description from my video:

So many things could go wrong in a multiplayer speedrun... no wonder why no one runs this game like this lmao..

Things that can kill this type of run:

  • Random Crits can both be the the bane and the boon of your run. I chose to stick to Valve servers in favor of random crits.

  • Item servers or the game server itself could be down at any moment's notice.

  • Lag.

  • The other team has at least two or three good players... or has cheaters.

  • Your team is not so good at fending off good players.

  • You can't choose teams like in the olden days and joining BLU team is the most optimal in Medieval Mode (and generally in other modes too like A/D). BLU team is practically granted insta-respawns in Medieval Mode.

Even though I got to RED team after switching servers, I abused the hell out of the retry command to shorten the 16-second respawns or to shorten the time it takes me to walk back to spawn and change weapons down to 5.

Also, don't mind the scuffed LiveSplit speedrun layout lol.

[CW] Brutal Axe Attack Shocks University Of Warsaw Community

archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20250510092048/https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/brutal-axe-attack-shocks-university-of-warsaw-community-347753

On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, a shocking and brutal incident unfolded at the University of Warsaw, leaving the academic community in disbelief. Around 6:40 PM, 22-year-old Mieszko R., a law student at the university, attacked two individuals with an axe in the Auditorium Maximum building. The attack resulted in the tragic death of a 53-year-old female porter, who succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while a 39-year-old university security guard sustained serious injuries while attempting to intervene.

In the aftermath of this horrific event, Mieszko R. was charged with murder with particular cruelty, attempted murder of the security guard, and desecration of the victim's body.

Mieszko R. hails from Gdynia and had been studying law at the University of Warsaw. His acquaintances described him as a quiet and reserved individual with interests in military items and the Soviet Union. However, social media activity revealed a darker side; his Instagram account followed profiles associated with far-right groups, including Konfederacja and Młodzież Wszechpolska. Reports indicated that he had a fascination with violence, often watching recordings of gang activities from regions like South America and the Middle East.

Love how news outlets always find a way to blame it on them Lay-Tams, Ay-Rabs, etc.. even if it has nothing to do with them. It's no surprise since it's an Europa specialty. WP Polska and their contemporaries worded that last part slightly differently:

He showed and sometimes watched himself, commenting with a smile on his face, recordings from places like South America or the Middle East, where real gangs kill real people - adds our interlocutor.

Game devs of Lemmy, what have you been working on?

I've been working on a small platformer game that squarely revolves around Demoman's mobility mechanics from TF2 (think Sticky Jumper, stickyjumping, trimping, etc..) but in 2D. I'm thinking that there could be potential for something funny and wacky from coalescing some ideas from an FPS game and 2D platformers like VVVVVV, Rayman Origins/Legends and some Flash games from way back then..

So far I only have the movement and projectile physics down.. my artistic abilities leave... a lot to be desired. I haven't decided on the game's core mechanics just yet either, but now I turn to you to gather some inspiration :).

EDIT: attached some gameplay footage

New psyop slop is about to drop: Putin (2025) film, now with more AI pizzazz

A new English-language Polish film about Vladimir Putin, in which the Russian president is portrayed using AI-powered special effects to superimpose his real face on an actor, will premiere on 10 January.

The biopic, titled Putin, is the work of Polish filmmaker Patryk Vega, who is best known for movies about the criminal underworld.

The director had initially planned to make a film about Russian gangsters but, after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he decided to focus on “Russia’s biggest gangster”, Putin, he told newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza.

...

“The audience needed to see the real Putin,” Vega told British newspaper The Telegraph. “They see him every day in the media. Even the best actor with great make-up wouldn’t convincingly portray a figure everyone in the world knows so well.”

Solution that tailors existing CVs to a given job post?

I'm looking for something that takes a CV (e.g. md, pdf, odt, whatever) and a site to the job post as inputs and outputs a CV that is tailored to the requirements listed in that job post, without significantly changing the CV in some way..

I know that LLMs would be best used for such a problem, but the issue is that I don't have such a beefy computer to run an LLM locally.. Maybe there's something out there that doesn't use an LLM? Anything that helps with applying and making sure that the CV is attractive enough to your average ATS, honestly.

Poland's Ministry of Family and Social Policy wants to ban employing foreigners under civil contracts, restricting them mostly to employment contracts

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/21923465

The Ministry of Family and Social Policy argues this is necessary to protect Polish workers from unfair competition and to safeguard vulnerable immigrants.

Translation: we want to retain our whiteness.

Looking for an Android app that serves as both a vault and a PDF reader

Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.

I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it's not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.

I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.

UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @[email protected], will provide a review of the app later

Frustrated Polish white supremacists group up to march through streets for a "citizen patrol", more marches planned.

This comes as a result of a scuffle between South Americans and Poles, with two ending up hospitalized in Śrem. Followed by this, stupid questions like "Have open borders brought gang violence to Poland all the way from South America?" (Blood) are seriously being asked and discussed.

Pictures of the situation's aftermath: Atak ostrym przedmiotem na śremskiej plaży. Są poważnie ranni [AKTUALIZACJA] (CW: Blood, albeit censored)

Latest statement the Śrem Police, Google Translated:

Yesterday, September 7, just after At 11 p.m., the Śrem Police officer on duty was notified about a fight that took place on the beach at Lake Grzymisławskie in Śrem. Police investigations into this matter were and are currently ongoing throughout the night. The police are explaining the situation and determining the course of the event in which several people took part. Two men, residents of Śrem, were taken to hospital with injuries. The police detained four men as suspects of involvement in the fight. One of these men is an Argentine national and three are Colombian nationals. They were all taken to police custody. Today, at 09.40, policemen from the Śrem Implementation Group detained a fifth man as a person suspected of participating in a fight. He is also a Colombian citizen. This man was also taken into police custody , said the deputy inspector in the morning. Kasińska.

To no one's surprise, this is a clear-cut scapegoating of all immigrants for the actions of a few, looking for any excuse to wage racist, xenophobic actions on less than 3.69% of the population of Poland.

Source: Size and demographic-social structure in the light of the 2021 Census results, page 114-115

Nationalities outside of Europe are so small, they are all relegated to the "other" row on the census .-.

Proponents of these lynch mobs will say that the data above may be a bit outdated, since there's been a bump-up on the non-Poles population (as if it justifies the proliferation of these mobs), but will omit the fact that after 2021, most of them come from Ukraine.. So that still doesn't change much of anything.

Citizen patrol scheduled in Warsaw @ 21 September:

Citizen patrol planned in Katowice from 20-22nd September:

The patrol policy:

The patrol will supposedly be followed by police monitoring, as if that'd make it any better.
