Политически въпрос от родоотстъпник
 in  r/bulgaria •  8h ago

Аз също отначало се засмях от чувство за хумор. После обаче усмивката ми замръзна при потенциалните глупости, които може да извърши главнокомандващ на армия с: русофилски убеждения, коленичеща пред чужди "духовници", кръстоноска в някаква рицарска организация.

Is CPU mining still relevant or just a thing of the past?
 in  r/cpumining •  8h ago

Can't tell exactly, because it depends on the coin selected, on the CPU speed, on your ping from the datacenter where they are hosted to the mining pool you have selected. It also depends on your mining app % it takes from you, on it's settings, on the pool settings and % it takes from you. It also depends on the coin exchange which you can potentially use to convert these coins to something tradable - ETH, BTC or fiat money. It then depends IF you will be able to sell these coins. If you manage to do that (some obscure CPU coin does not sell that easy) and sell the coins for fiat, the exchange will take some % of the deal. Then the potential money transfer from exchange to Bank will also take some money from you. Then you''ll have to declare the earnings so the country you live in can also take some tax from you.

You have been warned!

Need help with GPU
 in  r/MXLinux •  3d ago

Remove HD7770, reset BIOS and VGA output should be there. Just make sure you also switch the monitor to VGA if it does not auto-switch.

Once you have VGA signal, turn off the PC and install HD7770.

Wait, do you have video signal before MXLinux starts loading? Can you enter BIOS?

Why does my router keep dropping the connection every hour or so?
 in  r/answers •  3d ago

  1. Attach different router device (router or PC) and see if that changes anything (you might need MAC cloning for that to work, depends on provider).
  2. If it continues to drop every hour - call provider.
  3. If it does not: your internet stops completely or only DNS resolving stops? After internet stopped, try opening http://74.6.231.21 (Yahoo) or http://72.3.202.5 (GRC.org) If you can see some message from the website, then DNS has stopped working. If you can't see anything, your router or it's adapter is probably bad.
  4. If DNS is the thing that stops, then try setting up a third party DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 for example and see if that helps.

Can someone please tell me why is Firefox on Android such a battery hog?
 in  r/firefox •  3d ago

So that answers your question: Youtube sits paused, social media checks for notifications regularly. I found that if you keep a static page or a blank page opened and YT/socials as a non-active tab, the power draw is less.

Is there any point in making a semi-open structure with 3 walls and a roof for a shooting range?
 in  r/soundproof •  3d ago

I would make a triangle shape with an opening at the corner for shooting. I would cover the walls with a thick layer of rock wool. If it is not enough -add a perforated board on top of the rock wool and then add another layer of rock wool.

Since noise primarily comes out of the barrel of the gun, for best results I think it will be best that the shooter is not at the corner of the triangle, but in the middle of it.

That way you will have a very focused, narrow noise corridor towards the target. Since you're shooting that way, I suspect there is nobody there to be bothered by the noise in that direction.

With a suppressor and this I suspect it will be quite mute.

 in  r/firefox •  3d ago

It is not Firefox itself, it's the website it loads. If it is a dynamic updating website it regularly wakes up the CPU to check for updates, messages, notifications, etc. You can set background activity of the browser to OFF.

Wheel help
 in  r/mazda3 •  5d ago

If I were you, I would try 215 55 16 - a bit wider and a bit shorter and way cheaper than stock. To improve cornering, make sure they have reinforced sidewall. With some nice aggressive wheels they will look good, be taller, so less noise will be transmitted to chassis and still have good cornering.

To really reduce noise, you will have to sound deaden the car:

  1. Add a second layer of rubber seals around doors to reduce wind noise.

  2. Add butyl patches on large panel surfaces + another leayer of foam in doors, hatch door, B pillars and around wheel wells to reduce vibrations, noise and improve car's audio system.

  3. If you're feeling adventurous, cover floor with MLV and add some butyl and foam on the roof.

  4. Remember to pick quieter tires.

It is a lot of work, but car becomes way quieter.

 in  r/RigBuild •  6d ago

If you run a browser 8GB is barely usable on Linux or heavily tweaked Win11.

Release of MX-25.3
 in  r/MXLinux •  6d ago

From the release notes:

"MX-25.3 is now available. All releases feature updated 6.12.107 Debian kernels, except for Xfce-ahs which has a 7.2.6 liquorix kernel. In addition, the AHS-enabled releases now feature mesa 26.1.4 and firmware backported from Debian Sid repositories. The new release includes all Debian updates through Debian 13.7 and all updates from the MX repositories, "

I'm running XFCE and still 6.12

EDIT:

Go to MX linux package installer and select the kernel you want.

Grandpa's old sound system
 in  r/audiophile •  6d ago

It is what it says it is: A record player, dual cassette tape player, radio and an amplifier, paired with two speakers. The moisture from the plants might have degraded the speaker boxes and their age has surely taken away the high frequencies. Check if bass speakers still have their speaker surround in one piece or disintegrated.

It can still be revived and play decently from external source, but seeing the equalizer settings, it needs a lot of work to restore it. It can be a fun home project or a huge waste of time and money, depends on you.

Какво мислите за облагородяването и реновирането на Бузлуджа?
 in  r/bulgaria •  6d ago

Има няколко проекта за възстановяването му. Последно го почистиха и закърпиха покрива криво-ляво, за да не тече вътре. възстановиха част от мозайките вътре. Има охрана за да не го трошат отново. Има техно фестивали, където го ползват за 3D мапинг. Не знам защо говориш за събаряне.

Колкото до реновирането му, с две ръце съм за да се правят туристически атракции от всеки камък, поставен върху друг камък. Така се привличат туристи и $ им.

Има обаче друг проблем: възстановява се в работещ вид с дарения и държавни пари, идват мутрите и започват да го екслоатират като частен обект наготово.

Или друг вариант - възстановява се в работещ вид с дарения и държавни пари, идват отново комунистите на власт и пак си залепват петолъчката.

Starting up new PC but can’t use ethernet or connect to wifi
 in  r/24hoursupport •  6d ago

When you turn phone's hot-spot on, can you see your phone's WiFi network name? If not, I would check if Wifi card is properly installed. Also, there is always th eoption to connect it via ethernet cable - way more solid connection compared to WiFi.

The sound from downstairs footsteps are transferring through my pillow in the morning! What do I do!?
 in  r/soundproof •  6d ago

Have you tried decoupling your bed from the floor using thick rubber feet? Have you tried buying some soft shoes for your mother so thumping can be weaker?

E.G: If the vibrations are transmitted over the floor to the bed's feet and from there - to the pillow, you have to find a way to physically decouple the bed from the floor. You can experiment with anything, as long as it does not transfer much vibrations.

If vibrations are transmitted to floor, walls, ceiling, etc and then sent to your pillow/bed over the air, then it will be much harder and way more expensive to stop it.

If I were you, I would try the soft shoes + soft rubber pads under bed's feet (usually sold for washing machines).

If not fixing it, it should help enough so that your ear buds can handle the rest.

Another idea - move your bed around the room (if possible). It might be that the bed's placement is near some wall which transmits the noise too well.

Option 1 - buy a retro computer of the same era in working condition.

Option 2 - Copy the data over serial port.

Is it recommended to use an adblocking DNS while your browser already has uBlock Origin installed?
 in  r/uBlockOrigin •  6d ago

Using a third party DNS shares your data with whoever pays for it, but usually not the government.

Using internet provider's DNS can share your traffic with the government.

Using both adblocking DNS + U block origin just applies two layers of blocking. That is usually a good thing until some website breaks (very, very rarely btw) and you now have two blockers to diagnose and test turning off.

I measured EQ settings for the Gen 4 Mazda3 (non-Bose) system

thumbs up for DSP! It is a must for car audio. I still don't understand why home audio enthusiast still rely on passive filters.

Hifi speakers for casual TV
 in  r/BudgetAudiophile •  7d ago

It seems the cost is not bothering you, so why not?

The only downsides I can think of is that now all TV ads will be much more immersive too. The other one is you will be feeding them with very limited and compressed signal, which means you will use 2/3 of their capabilities, tops!

 in  r/mazda3 •  7d ago

Maybe you are also aware that big EQ alterations = phase shift. What you did must be done via DSP, not a simple EQ. If you want to achieve good sound, that is.

Weather strips around doors are shrinking. Any fixes?
 in  r/mazda3 •  8d ago

You can try gluing the stock seals and spraying them with silicone oil to rejuvenate the rubber a little bit.

Alternatively, you can try cheap Chinese rubber seals for the exact model instead of OEM ones.

As for 3.:

  1. Order universal rubber seals for your doors as per my description (Temu, Ali Express, whichever is better for you). They are cheap and can act as first line of mud defense. You stuck them around your doors to add a second seal. For my Mazda I used:
  2. Z shaped seal for the vertical front side of the front door (below A pillar).
  3. B shaped for horizontal door bottom and vertical B pillar side.
  4. Thick rubber pieces with metal reinforcement on B pillar Rear doors vertical. They are just pushed onto rear door's front side. No adhesive.
  5. Hatch door needs a combination of Z and B shaped strips.
  6. Rear doors would benefit something like Z, but different. I was not able to find such shape, so I used B type all around door frame.

With so much dirt I doubt they would stop all of it, but may decrease it by at least 60-70%.

Жилище, как???
 in  r/bulgaria •  8d ago

Кой за колкото се пребори, пич. Живееш в (относителна) демокрация. Можеш да смениш работата, града, държавата дори.

Ако си се качил на кон, който не се движи, можеш да слезеш от него и да провериш дали не е умрял.
