Hello #freebsd folks. I'd like to get into FreeBSD and play around with it. What book is recommended to start with? @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe do you have any recommendations? Have this Thinkpad T480 that still is quite capable. I'd like to use it as my learning testbed.

@bagder@mastodon.social I guess it is not zlib/sql? You could technically be okay without those. SSL/libcurl not so much if you want to communicate (securely) with the internet.

Is there a turstworth estimate when prices for (memory) hardware will fall again? I am in need of some SSDs, heck, HDDs even. But not willing to pay that.

How many texels are fetched when doing a texture-lookup in the fragment-shader? I think 2x2 was common across multiple GPUs? But maybe now it is even 4x4? Curious, because it would explain why 16 tap PCF runs so fast that my GPU makes the loudest coilwhine ever hear of. Doing 32 taps already cuts the framerate by 4! And 16 taps don't do anything to the framerate. So PCF at 16 taps is free (seemingly).

Since I was vocal about the Anthropic #Blender topic I am working on a small video that hopefully can convince people to donate.
I stand by what I said about Anthropic but I also acknowledge that Blender Foundation has actually reacted to the people which is absolutely not the usual case for "normal" businesses.
And I acknowledge that people who work on Blender have to actually pay rent and and eat food.

@icculus@mastodon.gamedev.place Love to see this: A comment on one of the comments in the merged PR: If someone attempts multiple vibecoded PRs they should get some sort of punishment. Not to be harsh but to discourage others who may attempt the same. I think it can be harsh. Vibecoding is the worst. Had to deal with Vibecoded PRs and you don't want those people around you. Ever. They should just do something else with their lifes. Better for everyone.

Btw I run Jellyfin Dockerized on Truenas for over a month now and I am still in shock, how good it is. I have never experienced any major hickups that make listening or watching music/movies unpleasant. Quite the contrary. It is better than any streaming service I have used so far, that includes, Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The powerdraw under load ist 40-60 Watts, idle 10-20 Watts. Of course this is power you have to pay for but it comes cheaper than any single streaming service.

Buy CDs, BluRays and DVDs and build your own Mediastreaming service via Jellyfin. No adds, no algorithm. No pulling media from the platform, no change of pricing. Start to use networks again how they were meant to be. Participate, don't just consume.

@alariq@mastodon.gamedev.place PAL? Too good. Let's go wild and use even lower-res NTSC (and maybe even interlace the whole thing and during blow-up deinterlace to get that extra oomph). No, you're right. But when I think of eg Half Life, that has shipped with a software renderer. The game doesn't look terrible! Quite the opposite, imho. Think of what would be possible with many cores and all those special instructions available on every CPU nowadays. I think it would be cool to have a soley software rendered 3D game

@alariq@mastodon.gamedev.place To be honest even if it was meant as a joke it also was not meant as a joke. I think software rasterization is pretty cool. And people seem to try to emulate the look of old FPS games anyways. Also it would be pretty portable I guess. All you need is a platform that let's you put pixels into a framebuffer.
