  • autistic complaining about units

    ok so like I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more confusing use of units . at least you haven’t used the p infix instead of the / in bandwith units .

    like you used both upper case and lowercase in units but like I can’t say if it was intentional or not ? especially as the letter that is uppercased should be uppercased ?

    anyway

    1Mb

    is theoretically correct but you likely ment either one megabyte (1 MB) or one megibyte (MiB) rather than one megabit (1 Mb)

    ~325mb/s

    95mb/s

    and

    9mb/s

    I will presume you did not intend to write ~325 milibits per second , but ~325 megabits per seconds , though if you have used the 333 333 request count as in the segment you quoted , though to be fair op also made a mistake I think , the number they gave should be 3 exabits per second (3 Eb/s) or 380 terabytes per seconds (TB/s) , but that’s because they calculated the number of requests you can make from a 1 gigabit (which is what I assume they ment by gbit) wrong , forgetting to account that a byte is 8 bits , you can only make 416 666 of 4 kB (sorry I’m not checking what would happen if they ment kibibytes sorry I underestimated how demanding this would be but I’m to deep in it now so I’m gonna take that cop-out) requests a second , giving 380 terabits per second (380 Tb/s) or 3.04 terabytes per second (3.04 TB/s) , assuming the entire packet is exactly 114 megabytes (114 MB) which is about 108.7 megibytes (108.7 MiB) . so anyway

    packet size theoretical bandwidth
    1 Mb 416.7 Gb/s 52.1 GB/s
    1 MB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    1 MiB 3.3 Tb/s 416.7 GB/s
    300 kb 125.0 Gb/s 15.6 GB/s
    300 kB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    300 kiB 1000.0 Gb/s 125.0 GB/s
    30 kb 12.5 Gb/s 1.6 GB/s
    30 kB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s
    30 kiB 100.0 Gb/s 12.5 GB/s

    hope that table is ok and all cause im in a rush yeah bye









  • autistic complaining about improper use of SI and SI adjacent units , going into a bit of self parody at the end

    please fucking capitalise units properly , the most valid interpretation of “mbps” is millibit picosecond which is invalid anyway (should be femtobit second or fb s) and also not a unit of any kind of speed , not that you are asking about speed but likely bandwidth , but also in this specific case , ignoring that you use this stupid per construct , leaving it to interpretation which letter is meant to be capitalised and which lower case leaves megabits per second (Mb s^(-1)) and megabytes per second (MB s^(-1)) (of course milibits per second and milibytes per second are also units of bandwidth) , and also because bits and bytes are involved , are you using the mega- prefix per SI or , I would argue incorrectly , per JEDEC (as in 1 KB = 1024 B ) , I don’t know because you have shown a complete disregard for units and all they represent , for everyone who takes the time to understand , learn and properly use prefixes to convey a specific meaning , in a way that cannot be misinterpreted . You may not think this is important because “oh Lily you understood me anyway” and ? you have shown a complete disregard for all that anyone with a computer science degree should stand for , shown no intention to properly understand how the more and more computerised would around us works and for what ? so that your fingers can use a few less calories , putting of the heat death of the universe by an unimaginably irrelevant amount , which you will unknowingly spend anyway when you hear a bird sing across the road , is that really worth it to you ?


  • autistic complaining

    honestly I don’t even know how to interpret ~11.5 μg b/s (micro gram bits per second).

    Seriously I get not liking capital letters , but like ESPECIALLY in this case (as ~11.5 b/s and ~11.5 B/s are about as reasonable) , capitalize your units ! also differentiate between GiB (gigi bits) and GB (giga bits).

    to be fair , because g and b are not separated by a space , “×” or “•” , g should be interpreted as a prefix , according to SI rules , but its not something most people know about and g is not a valid SI prefix .








  • Keyboard:

    • AnySoftKeyboard good all around keyboard, good language support, decent though messy customizability
    • Unexpected keyboard more specialized, provides easy access to app (printable) ASCII characters and some others, allrght customizability
    • 8Vim Cool factor, great customizability, decent language support but you need to learn it

    Games:

    • Pirate Solitare nothing much but I’ve been playing it a lot lately
    • Simon Tathman’s Puzzle Collection a cross platform puzzle collection, has a lot of different puzzles in a uniform style
    • Antimine minesweeper with nice ui

    System:

    • RethinkDNS: DoH provider and firewall Easy to use, especially nice for those non FOSS apps you need to have to maintain a social life, not that powerful though
    • Obtainium: FOSS app downloader Downloads apps from releases or equivalent, therefore can have faster updates than fdroid, but no discovery, aside from search on some platforms
    • ffupdater: FOSS browser downloader Like obtainium, but for browsers (mostly) and has list of browsers
    • Droid-ify: fdroid client better ui than the default app, comes with a list of repos
    • Shizuku: ADB shell api not useful if you have root (see SUI, which is the root implementation for the same api, though shizuku will also work I think), but can give a bit more access if you don’t supports wireless debugging on A12+
    • Neolauncher: launcher nice ui but nothing special
    • SD Maid SE: storage cleaner okish ui, doesn’t stop me from having 302 (not including system) apps on my device. Yes I have a problem
    • Package manager: app manager Shizuku support, powerful, though limited if you don’t have root
    • Inure: app manager [freemium (8$), but GPL licensed?] pretty must like Package manager but with amazing ui

    Media:

    • LibreTube: Piped (youtube) client Nice ui, no ads, sponsor block support, kinda unstable
    • Innertube: YouTube music client doesn’t use piped/invidious, no ads, nice ui
    • Tusky: mastodon client nice ui, quite stable, multiuser support
    • Jerboa: lemmy client ok ui, up to date with lemmy updates
    • Liftoff: lemmy client nicer ui then Jerboa but doesn’t work since .15 (?) and had issues with rendering markdown properly
    • LibreTorrent bitTorrent client for downloading all those isos and public domain works, nice ui

    Misc:

    • Mull: ff based browser not much to say, “security oriented and deblobbed”, upstreams some features from Tor
    • Calculator++: A scientific calculator A lot of functionality while remaining easy to use
    • RPNcalc: A Reverse Polish Notation calculator best RPN calculator I’ve found on fdroid, less powerful than Calculator++, but RPN based calculators are more efficient[1]^
    • Simple Apps: suit of apps providing basic functionality great ui and customizability, I don’t use simple keyboard, simple launcher/drawer however
    • OpenCamera: a camera app advanced features

    Just the apps I thought of, as I, as mentioned in the SD Maid entry, have a lot of apps installed :P

  • I don’t think comparing communism with fasism, at least when it comes to exterminating ethnic minorities is accurate. this is an opinion shared by academics, including coauthors of “The Black Book of Communism” (the book which claims communism killed 80M-100M people, though the upper end of the range is the one which has more attention. this number is disputed, again also by coauthors)

    I could explain why I believe you shouldn’t do this in my own words, but I will use the words of Nicolas Werth, one of the three main coauthors who distanced themselves from the book:

    Death camps did not exist in the Soviet Union.

    and

    The more you compare Communism and Nazism, the more the differences are obvious.

    Another quote I will give is from Amir Weiner an American historian and associate professor of Soviet history at Stanford University who wrote:

    [w]hen Stalin’s successors opened the gates of the Gulag, they allowed 3 million inmates to return home. When the Allies liberated the Nazi death camps, they found thousands of human skeletons barely alive awaiting what they knew to be inevitable execution.

    I sourced these quotes from Wikipedia: “The Black Book of Communism”, references 19 and 14.

    My point isn’t to say the Soviet Union, or other states which had or have Marxist-Leninist governments are without critique, but that comparing them to the III Reich, at the very least diminishes the crimes committed by Nazis and makes analysis of the aforementioned States more muddy.
