Currently I just have mine set up for camera because I went on holiday and it was used more often. Now that I’m back working I don’t need the camera nearly as much and was wondering what’s a more useful setup for Action Button?
There is not, unless you’re talking about people with gigantism or something, such as Andre the Giant. Giants most likely not only did not exist, but due to diet and nutrition, we are taller than our ancestors.
I frequently find myself needing to rerun commands with the -h flag, and I was just wondering why it is not the default behavior of programs to show sizes in human-readable terms?
I think it’s two reasons - first is that human readable formats are less specific, so three files that are “3gb” in size look the same, so it may be hiding information that it knows about
The second is that commands are very often used as parts of larger scripts, where human readability may not matter as much, or may not be applicable until the very last command when the output is actually shown.
Between these, and the fact that most commands try not to predict what your use case is, I think that having a -h option is going to be the norm going forward as well rather than having it as the default
The discount in price is the only benefit of the two year plan from what I saw. They can offer this discount because they can get the lump sum of money in one go. This is the idea of the time value of money, a lump sum now is greater than an equal amount later.
It makes little sense to offer a month to month plan at the same price with a contract in place, because now there’s the overhead of the contract on top of everything else.
So your best option is likely to stick with the month to month price, unfortunately.
There are quite a few cheap IPTV subscriptions out there with 50k+ channels, but my question is, why do you still watch live TV? With piracy, you can grab any movie or TV show you want and watch it on demand with Jellyfin or Plex. Am I missing out by not watching TV channels myself?
Yeah it is ersatztv, you basically need a gpu for the ffmpeg encodings though. It’s fun if you get it to work, I have my face appear every hour at the bottom of the screen like a network logo.
Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up....
Interesting, I’m using a synology NAS in order to store lots of data, it should be relatively speedy but probably not compared to an onboard SSD. My SSD only has about ~100gb of free space so even using it as a temporary download center may not be right, looks like I’m looking into a terabyte nvme. Thanks for the suggestion!
It’s hard to say since it’s all RAIDed out but they’re not SSD’s, I just didn’t have the space on the drive. But looks like I’m in the market for a new cpu, motherboard and NVMe drive now. Thanks for your input!
I eat probably 21 meat meals a week. I still choose meat though. Definitely need some ideas for veg recipes. My favorite veg meal I’ve made is shakshouka, but nearly everything else always falls a little flat. What are some of your guys’ favorite recipes?
Just started playing GTA IV on the Steam Deck after having it sitting in my Steam library for years. It’s really fun. I really like the protagonist, the setting, and it’s openness. It’s a bit more tame than GTA V which I have played as well and I prefer the more subdued tone.
With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!
Besides ease of use and the practicality of having it at hand at all times, these apps show you important stats like longest time between periods, average time between periods, current time since last period. Same with length of period. All useful stats for you, your doctor, and potentially your partner if you’re trying for a baby.

Monthly billing?
I would like to upgrade to the 2 year plan. But I can’t pay the full 2 year price in 1 transaction. Is there a possibility for monthly billing?
To those who use IPTV services, why?
