CHERNOBYL FROM HBO [2019] ▀ UNSPOILED GEM
It's been a while
Finally i'm back
I've lost some markdown sources of the blog, so pretty much everything from May 2022 was restored from scratch
Hope that this will not happen again
[British masterpiece]
that shows corruption and stupidness of top-end bureaucrats and lying propaganda statistics. Films also expose true and forgotten heroes of the time. It also features:
realistic narration very solid acting atmospheric ambient soundtrack ENTRANCE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST EPISODE

SPARTACUS [2010-2013] ▀ GULP OF FRESH AIR
After [atrocious Walking Dead]
run into [bloody brilliant Spartacus]
. Produced by [Sam Raimi]
, the same guy who created classic Evil Dead series. Movie brings excellent story line with very solid acting. Ultra atmospheric [soundtrack by Joseph LoDuca]
and overall design aestetics are also present.
Legendary and ridiculously underrated TV-series, aesthetics of motion picture far exceeds most of TV-series and enters area of quality full-length movie. Spartacus is a real drama, showing what is a “humanity” in a nutshell.
44 THREADS XEON WORKSTATION AND 32 THREADS OPTERON SERVER RETRO BUILDS
As you already know i fed up using [modern Ryzen/Radeon hardware]
and decided to go a bit retro. Cheap Chinese clone mobos and second-hand high-performance cpu’s of previous generations induced me to rebuild my workstation and also fool around with Opteron-based server.
Here is [very detailed spreadsheet comparision]
of almost all available Chinese x79/x89/x99 boards on the market.
XEON E5-2680V4 14C/28T VS E5-2696V4 22C/44T ▀ WINDOWS 7 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
UPDATED ON: 2022-08-13
▒ PREFACE WORDS As you remember, my [previous daily driver was Ryzen 9590x 16c/32t]
. After some fun with it I’ve decided to drop it in favor to retro stuff.
Intel Xeon CPU based around Broadwell tech: [E5-2696v4 22c/44t]
became the chip of the choice. It is OEM version of top of the line [Xeon E5-2699v4]
. It is a bit slower, around marginal 3-4%, but costs significantly less than 2699v4.
INT10H.ORG ▀ COOL VINTAGE FONTS WEBSITE
Couple days back virtual friend of mine send me a link to awesome website mainly dedicated to [vintage computer fonts]
. I suppose that project’s roots come from demoscene. And yeah, design aesthetics is so cool, just look at that.
Stashing it here for catalogue purposes.
ICEWEASEL ▀ NEW ALTERNATIVE TO DISMISSED ICECAT
Not long ago [already reviewed]
in the past Firefox forks Icecat
and [Iceweasel]
for some reason went into 404 void due to applied sanctions to Russia.
So, i was forced to find an alternative way and stumbled upon Chinese builds of [Iceweasel]
. Just want to digest this historical fact as a blog post.
GEFORCE GPU WINDOWS 7 DRIVER UPDATES TILL 2024
Since i’ve switched to [fanless GPU]
from Nvidia and began to monitor Windows 7 driver related news. So, here is a [link to the latest]
to date Windows 7 driver .
It’s really neat to hear that Nvidia is not dropping driver support for Windows Classics
. Red team from AMD can’t demonstrate such coolness in this category.
Lastest GPU drivers for Windows 7 will be available [here]
.

NARCOS SERIES ▀ ENTERING SOUNTRACK
Actually, i do not like soap TV operas at all. However, this one just hit the spot in a right way. I suppose that Narcos is the best long TV series i ever run into for the whole of my life.
This is a story of famous Colombian drug lord, who made his way from complete poverty to the richest man of the world. His [overall year profit]
was much bigger than income of big corporations of the time, like General Electric.
WINDOWS 7 WILL BE SUPPORTED FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS?
Recently [Ghacks.net]
reported about almost unreal rumour regarding [another 3 years of extended support for Windows 7]
. If news are true, consider this as a gift from above, because i can’t stand windows 10/11 abominations and Linux is just not ready for serious multimedia workstation workloads.

HISTORY OF MUSIC TRACKING [MOAR]
In previous posts i’ve [already mentioned]
Andrew Saga’s rants about history of music tracking, but i think that provided info are not covering topic fully. So, here is one more excellent video clip, which i dug up on yt recently. Enjoy!
PALIT GEFORCE 1650 TI ▀ FASTEST PASSIVELY COOLED GPU
[GeForce 1650Ti]
is the fastest passively cooled GPU avaialable on market. It was made by Palit company and carries KalmX branding. Recently, i finished my Blender investigations and that is why i don’t need [Radeon 6900xt]
power anymore. So, i decided to switch to something without fan with decent performance. KalmX design solely relies on massive radiator.
Despite the fact that device doesn’t have any fans it provides pretty good performance.
BBS ▀ BACK TO THE ROOTS OF INTERNET
BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system]
. It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.
ICEWEASEL ▀ MODERN REPLACEMENT FOR AGING ICECAT 91 ESR BRANCH
I’m still using trusted [Icecat port by Muslayev]
. Problem is that it begin to show it’s age by not rendering some websites in a correct way.
After checking [Firefox release roadmap]
i find out that 91 ESR branch on which Icecat is based will reach EOL status at the end of the summer. So i’ll need a replacement to keep up with modern web standards. Chrome and original Firefox are not an options because of their telemetry framework and bloated nature.
