PERSONAL CONCLUSIONS OF A LIFETIME

PERSONAL CONCLUSIONS OF A LIFETIME

1. Never ever ask a question when you know that answer is going to be a complete lie [some people are always lying or how they think "holding smth not important back"] 2. For most cases it is pretty safe to talk frankly with people, because they are not really listening or simply don't care much about 3. Be yourself [kinda trite expression, but generally works for me]
LOST [2004-2010] ▀ SPOILED GEM

LOST [2004-2010] ▀ SPOILED GEM

Scratchy narration makes movie stylish only at the very beginning of the [show] , but heading towards to the end it transforms picture into incoherent overcomplicated mess. Pretty neat plot spoiled by overwhelming amount of flashbacks and useless characters with detailed description of their past lifes.
Scarce amount of backdrop music. Last season should be banned.

CHERNOBYL FROM HBO [2019] ▀ UNSPOILED GEM

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
BIG BANG THEORY [2007-2019] ▀ PROBABLY THE BEST US SITCOM EVER

BIG BANG THEORY [2007-2019] ▀ PROBABLY THE BEST US SITCOM EVER

[Big Bang Theory] shows how to do comedy in a proper way. Excellent sitcom. Story line holds up pretty well. Overall scenario and actor cues are just brilliant. Sense of humor is universal with glimpses of geek related stuff. Main disadvantage is permanent backdrop laugh. I wonder is there any chance to get version without “wonderful” pointer when to laugh and when not? One more downside that I’ve noticed: complete absence of music.
SPARTACUS [2010-2013] ▀ GULP OF FRESH AIR

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.
HOW TO DEPLATFORM YOURSELF, ESCAPE PROFILE BUBBLE AND STOP PERSONAL DATA LEAKAGE

HOW TO DEPLATFORM YOURSELF, ESCAPE PROFILE BUBBLE AND STOP PERSONAL DATA LEAKAGE

Stop using mainstream operating systems like Windows 11/10/8.1, modern Linux, like Ubuntu or modern MacOS versions. On mobile Android 14/13/12/11/10/9/8.1 are prohibited because they use neural networks to profile your device and dial back to “home” to dump your personal data and preferences. iOS from very beginning was very phony platform. My personal choices are Windows 7 for desktop and Android 8.0 for mobile. These two cover my digital needs fully, no restrictions whatsoever.

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.

WALKING DEAD [2009-2022] ▀ HOW TO RUIN GREAT IDEA

WALKING DEAD [2009-2022] ▀ HOW TO RUIN GREAT IDEA

Just watched 9.5 out of 11 episodes of this [zombie soap opera] . Oh, my! What a waste! Lil’ breakdown of main key features: interesting story-line at the beginning, but rapidly degrading into repeating marasmic rave [end of episode 8 is a peak of delirium] frequent meaningless dialogs diluted by zombie cameos low quality acting is a frequent thing also [hi goes out to captain Karl, boy with dumb sheriff hat permanently glued directly to his head, later on was replaced by little girl with the same hat] after disappearance of Rick [main character], series completely lost meaning of existence Highly encourage you not to repeat my mistake and do something useful instead of wasting time on this “masterpiece”!
WHY NO COMMENTS SECTION? ▀ THOUGHTS ON TOPIC

WHY NO COMMENTS SECTION? ▀ THOUGHTS ON TOPIC

This is a second revision of question “Why your blog doesn’t have commentary section?” and “How do you come up with such stupid decision?” First one is [here] . Once again, i don’t see any convincing point, which forces me to incorporate comments section. Reasons not to do this: overwhelming amount of AD spam-robots to fight with overwhelming amount of political/propaganda human flame wars to resolve overwhelming amount of nonsense/emoji commentaries to delete I better spend my spare time on something more useful.
XEON E5-2680V4 14C/28T VS E5-2696V4 22C/44T ▀ WINDOWS 7 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

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.

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] .

GEORGE R.STEWART ▀ EARTH ABIDES

As far as i remember i never suggested any book for reading. SO HERE IS [ONE] . Don’t want to describe anything. It simply must be read by any means. Just wanted to share one of my favourite Sci-Fi books ever.
NARCOS SERIES ▀ ENTERING SOUNTRACK

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.
