I like to play devil's advocate and am interested in sharing knowledge about my hobbies! I like gaming and VR, AI, herbal vaporizers, media analysis and philosophy!

Ah but see, this just brings us back to the question at hand. Do you slice diagonally or horizontally?

(I know for pita it's horizontal)

Was this community banned on lemmy.world? I was trying to access some bookmarked posts and comments but they weren't there.

As stated in the title, I went to some posts and comments that I had bookmarked for some media that I was trying to download. This was on my lemmy.world account. Turns out they’re gone. Doing some digging and found out this community was still up but wasn’t visible on lemmy.world. what happend?

Dude's been in the hospital, he's doing what he can. I think his health is a bit more important than our social media site.

I like this logic, lets all become shareholders.

Nah. People didn't get it wrong.

Just the fact that even PR people try to breakdown costs by extremely over-inflating costs and they still come up short! And that's not even including the fact that the hotel itself is not as good as the most premium Disney Resorts, but this one is more expensive?

Other notable runner ups: Fixing LED light strips that separate from their adhesive, holding guitar nuts in place well enough for daily use but still mallet-able to remove it, and of course for gluing ones enemies eyelids shut

Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.

I pay for a domain that's $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that's already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it's a fair price for what I get out of it.

Tdarr AMD GPU transcoding...how?

I’ve been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I’m finding online is people using nvidia cards…well, I don’t have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that’s extremely uncommon and I can’t find any working...

wolfshadowheart,

I'm not sure if iGPU's are typically used for transcoding, which may be part of why you're having difficulty finding solutions.

As for re-encoding H264 into H265, increased file size is common. Encoding from source for the first time into H265 will lower file sizes, but if you're re-encoding something you're almost always going to lose data while increasing file size, especially on hardware encoders due to the methods and time it takes.

Basically, try your hand at Very Slow software encoding. Wait a day. This H265 file will likely be smaller than the Hardware Encodes of the same thing.

So in a way it's like the dynavap of ball vapes? Lol

I think Temu has been around a bit longer, Wish just got more popular during Covid

Hm so it is, I could have sworn that Temu was around before 2022

Do you want anything "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) in your (future) phone/mobile device?

wolfshadowheart,
wolfshadowheart avatar

@stux it's already here, sort of. But not particularly, however I just got the Samsung Tab S9 Ultra and it's AI features are really impressive. It used to be that only Photoshop had the ability to take the subject from a photo and manipulate it, but now you can just take any image, hold it, and remove the background or bring out the subject and save it as a .PNG or make it a sticker to re-use whenever. So there are some aspects that are helpful and not especially invasive. But as others mentioned, I don't see a huge use for generative imaging.

I will say, there was one day where I used voice-chat with ChatGPT on my phone, and treated it like I was on a phonecall. Asking questions, having regular conversations. It was actually pretty interesting, and I didn't feel like it was taking me away from my surroundings but made it so that I could get more information if I wanted to

Just a bong? C'mon y'all, get with the B.O.A.T. logic and waste some money. Buy an ounce and a mason jar and smash the OZ of bud inside the mason jar!

What are ball vapes? Ball vapes quickly explained (lemm.ee)

So I’ve used portables for years and desktops a few times. The last couple years I’ve kept reading about ball vapes and they sounded cool but honestly I got intimidated and stopped looking into it. There are so many options and components and you have to worry about compatibility etc… Well I hope to make a series of posts...

wolfshadowheart,

Unlimited convection in a desktop is pretty much unrivaled, I will say though.

I stick to the VapeXhale Evo ($300ish but discontinued) and the Tiny Might 2 ($350) myself, but I used e-nails for concentrates and I've used the Cannabis Hardware setups and they are pretty much the best way to inhale a bong rip and get as much vapor as you want.

Plus, with the right one (and only a measly investment of... nearly $650...) it is basically a one-time set-up never need to clean (sans bong) the vape/rubies/PID controller itself never needs to be clean, just kept free of flammables.

For the price range you're looking at pretty much the new Volcanos, or a full fledged Cannabis Hardware flower+concentrate in one rig, and having a Volcano for cheap I would far prefer the ball vaporizer. I just have enough vapes to justify not needing it, and even though I want to say the open heating element too, but they actually make one that keeps it covered.

wolfshadowheart,

Most do have exposed heating elements, but cannabis hardware does have a covered heating element I'm pretty sure. Not all of them, I think it's one of their upgraded pieces.

Are you not able to use the element zapper to block the pop-up from appearing?

wolfshadowheart,
wolfshadowheart avatar

With Ublock Origin, click on the extension and at the bottom there is "element zapper" and "element picker". I usually select one of these, then use it to select the unwanted pop-ups.

Just be careful, sometimes the popups are designed to blank out the whole page you're trying to view. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

In similar spirit, my theory is that this is part of how they fix the issue where PC players and PS5 players have issues making/accepting friend requests. Recently the players ID's were changed from being randomly generated to a set assigned ID, and I would have bet money that the PSN account linking could have been a way to resolve whatever issue was going on there.

Alas, no way to confirm this now haha!

wolfshadowheart,

PSN hates refunds so I can see that being a large influence.

Full frame or part frame?

The former is 1bil^6 pages and the latter is 30 pages

Drink when R2 appears.

If you think that's not enough for all 9 movies than add C-3PO.

That should have you well paced for all of them without killing you or being too slow.

SRDas, to cooking

I don't care where you got your whole urad daal (black lentils) or that you're going to pressure cook - make sure you pick through first before rinsing and using

@SRDas Pay by the pound? They owe you like, 9 beans!

doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.

Which doesn't change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall...

I use lib-redirect for everything if I really need to get to a reddit link. It's rare, but there are certain types of communities where I'd like to get a "average laymans" perspective and unfortunately just due to the size here on the fediverse there is rarely wide-spread availability. As you mentioned, specific games. Lots of hobbies. Even the opportunity for consumer tech talk, if I'm interested in replacing something that's 8+ years old there's just not a lot of existing content to search through here and that leaves blog posts and... Reddit.

I've had plenty of time recognizing what astroturfing looks like, so I rarely feel like I'm left out of options to search. All that said, I've been doing this a lot less since the whole shift happened. Maybe an endeavor every few months, rather than few days/weeks.

My friend pointed this out for the recent live action Avatar show. Their clothes were pretty much immaculate the entire time
