14:27:59 <hyc> has anyone written a miner screensaver? or perhaps a plugin for some other common screensavers?
15:10:31 <Inge-> reminds me of the openGL 3d screensaver on Windows NT early versions
15:10:40 <Inge-> would peg CPU at 100%
15:16:54 <sech1> Screensaver? Is it 1996 again?

15:27:23 <jwinterm> x-screensaver is basically the greatest software program ever written
16:10:57 <hyc> mining in a screensaver makes sense for offices etc like this guy https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/gk9y1w/mining_monero/
16:11:28 <hyc> if your computer is otherwise idle a lot of the time, and you don't need it to do other heavy crunching while you're not interacting with it
16:12:23 <jtgrassie> don't laugh but my first freelance gigs were writing screensavers!
16:12:42 <asymptotically> were any of them as good as the beziers one that comes with windows?
16:14:10 <jtgrassie> mining from a screensaver is a great idea
16:15:54 <hyc> all my ideas are great ideas   :P
17:08:17 <sech1> "makes sense for offices" <--- laughs in corona
17:12:18 <sech1> yeah, but seriously, it makes more sense to run xmrig as a service with low priority - no popups and user doesn't even have to log int
17:12:23 <sech1> not as a screensaver
18:30:36 <hyc> well... the Windows scheduler sucks pretty bad. you would still experience serious lag if it was always running, even with low priority
18:31:01 <hyc> running as a service while user is logged out - sure, perfect.
18:31:29 <hyc> maybe ... running as a persistent service, but with communication from a screensaver, that tells it to throttle down when a user is logged in and active
20:56:30 <selsta> https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/pull/182
20:56:40 <selsta> we would release in a couple days, would this be good to include?
20:56:51 <selsta> if yes it needs a review + submodule update
21:43:45 <tevador> selsta: I'm waiting for reviews
22:03:10 <sech1> looks ok
