minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoMinor suggestion: Do it in winter. Transcoding video like that is a CPU intensive workload, if you’re going to pump that much heat out of your PC case you might as well want it.
minus-squareMonkeMischief@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoThat’s an excellent point. It’s amazing how fast it’ll heat up a room! I just learned there’s a company that takes advantage of this by using render farm nodes to provide hot water or something? https://www.heata.co/render Genius idea. Render farm as space heater. Don’t see why compiling / transcoding would be any different. 😂 I’m definitely gonna have to wait until next winter. It’s foolishness to be running the GPU that hard when it’s 100⁰F+ outside!
