Khanzarate,

I say Yea. It looks great.

Khanzarate,

Your wall outlet is AC but a battery is DC, so a pure wire setup is not so much a safety thing as it is just incompatible. A good fire starter.

So you’ll have to convert it, which makes for a big, bulky plug.

On top of that, you’ll need prior knowledge of the battery layout, including whether they’re parallel or serial. Usually parallel, but not a guarantee.

All of this isn’t insurmountable, but is enough to make it not the norm. They do, in fact, already exist

Headless VNC on Mint

I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesn’t work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? I’m also open to using a different...

Khanzarate,

According to The arch wiki, x11vnc operates differently than some other servers and is not capable of going headless. You’d need the dummy plug.

On that same page, though, it lists the alternative to x11vnc as Xvnc, and links to TigerVNC which is capable of going headless, and has an example config for going headless.

I haven’t tested tigerVNC specifically, but it’s known, so I expect this is the solution to your problem.

Khanzarate,

Off the top of my head, the only way I can think of is to install steam using docker, and install SF6 on dockerized steam.

Then you’ve converted the problem to either configuring docker to use ipv4 internally or setting up the container to ignore ipv6, both of which are doable.

There’s a good chance it’ll be perfectly playable but without trying it out or doing more research than I’ve invested here, it’s not a guarantee.

Khanzarate,

My pi 3 has struggled with some particular codecs or large (greater than 5 hours) videos. I’m not proficient enough to say that it wasn’t my fault in some way, some config option, but it was a near thing, regardless. A pi 4 or 5 should do it flawlessly, and my pi 3 works more reliably than my roku, even with that flaw.

WiFi, as long as your router isn’t ancient, will be more than enough. Latency isn’t a factor, and you can get HD streaming at well under 100 Mbps, the upper limit of most routers. My router, in another room with walls from an old house that destroy my signal, still gives me about 20, which is enough for 1080p.

I will say a pi 3 feels fairly laggy just using it to browse online. It does much better as a streaming box. The pi 5 I just got yesterday is much snappier, feels great to use. The 4gb model is 60$ right now, although I got the 8gb model.

All this was on default raspberry pi OS with kodi installed as an app. Very little to set up besides getting the media itself shared in your preferred way.

Khanzarate,

I suppose because it’s harder to prove murder. Since he failed, they’d have to prove motive, and he could argue he only wanted to harm the lawyer.

But assault is about facts, no feelings.

Khanzarate,

Both!

Khanzarate,

It seems not a slam dunk here, to me, specifically because of the first section. Starbucks is not required to offer non-dairy milk as an accommodation, according to your first quote.

Since Starbucks is not required to offer non-dairy milk, that last paragraph doesn’t apply at all, because they aren’t charging more for a required accommodation.

Khanzarate,

I’m sure all the good ones quit and he uses spray tan on the recommendation of someone who’s business card says “tarot reading/tanning specialist/crystal healer/hair stylist”.

Khanzarate,

Disks are for games I want to be able to pull out of a box 10 years from now and go “oh man I remember this”. I have the box from a DSi that I filled with GBA games, and a shelf for Switch and PS4 games that, when they’re retired for something else, it’d be nice to come back to once in a while. My daughter has gotten into my GBA games lately, so that’s been nice.

PC games, they’re so much more available. Steam is steady, GOG is steady, I feel I can leave it to them to keep and I’ll have any particularly treasured games 10 years from now, anyway.

What's your opinion on using rw Blu-ray disks for storing movies, ect?

Well I thought about using them instead of buying a hdd, I looked for some comparisons and found a 50 pack of 25gb blu ray drives and a 2tb harddrive for 60, it can store 35 movies more (thinking the movie is 24 GB) than the pack of drives, and that isn’t accounting the disk drive to read the disks (Keep in mind these are just...

Khanzarate,

Obviously you need a bluray player per disk and then RAID them together. Simple. Also a lot of extension cords and USB hubs to coordinate all that.

Khanzarate,

Do you think they won’t trash biden if we don’t protest?

Do you think they wouldn’t say he couldn’t win against trump?

If the GOP saying biden was unpopular is gonna change someone’s vote, they’ll say it whether its true or not, so that’s no excuse to vote against biden in the election that’s nothing but symbolic.

Khanzarate,

Yeah but 2e is the newer one, and is default now. Assuming 1e is like assuming 4e for DND, it just doesn’t make that much sense.

If the chart was gonna include 1e, it would need to say so explicitly.

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

Khanzarate,

Convert to PDF before submitting a resume. PDFs aren’t vulnerable to that kind of version difference messing things up.

Its definitely possible some other word processor would mess up the PDF conversion, but moving the formatting issues to before you submit anything lets you fully control the problem.

Khanzarate,

While I’d love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn’t make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.

In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable “cost of doing business”.

Khanzarate,

Stardew valley, Terraria, tabletop simulator

Khanzarate,

Best argument is that that 32 trillion is in fact the total cost over a number of years, not the difference between current system and medicare for all. Medicare for all as suggested then saves money, around 5 trillion, from admin costs and being in a better negotiating position for drugs.

Khanzarate,

It could be good because if they actually gave their customers a refund or access elsewhere then they’ve at least made up for the closing.

Naturally, if you received something actually of equal value, it’s generally alright, in the same way that I’ll accept a FedEx van running into my mailbox if they paid me enough to replace it.

The emphasis is on “could” because they tested the claim that they’re doing the equal value thing and found they don’t seem to be. So the claim of giving something worth the digital goods you’re losing just isn’t holding up, so they’re shit.

Khanzarate,

I don’t think they mean that. I think it’s protection from spells, and then an anti-haste kind of ability. Protection from your opponent’s ETB triggers, damage from attackers with haste, Flashing in a creature on your turn, like something with Evoke, etc. If your opponent wants to remove this, they need to cast something and let it sit out, giving you a lot more time to respond.

Reminds me of trap cards in yugioh. This ability makes your opponent have to play like that to deal with this card.

Quick edit: I feel if they meant it to only be the turn this Emrakul was cast, they’d have said something like “When Emrakul ETB, it gains protection from permanents for the rest of the turn”. Like make the Protection ability itself expire, instead of leaving it with a Protection keyword that stops working.

Trump's lawyers seek to suspend $83M defamation verdict, citing 'strong probability' it won't stand (apnews.com)

Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York judge Friday to suspend an $83.3 million defamation verdict against the former president, saying there was a “strong probability” that it would be reduced on appeal, if not eliminated....

Khanzarate,

She, through her lawyer, already announced they intend to, but as of earlier this week her lawyer said there wasn’t quite enough as of yet.

Trump obviously won’t leave it alone, though, so knowing her lawyer is looking for it means the next lawsuit is pending.

Khanzarate,

Because companies insist on it and when growth stops they’ll start to cannibalize their own company and charge more money for things that used to be free or fairly-priced until they price themselves out of the market entirely and die as a service.

Yay, capitalism!

Khanzarate,

Just because the world has started copying onion articles doesn’t mean the onion wouldn’t make fun of someone by making an article about them bullying a 12-year-old.

I wish the world had a bit less overlap with onion articles but this one is definitely somehow oniony and realistic at the same time.

Khanzarate,

84K that isn’t going to go into a superPAC, to another candidate, to the RNC, or get spent to campaign for trump.

Khanzarate,

“Gen Z ruining clickbait ‘Gen Z are ruining industry’ industry. Will they never realize complaining about them has been a national pastime for 400 years?”

Khanzarate,

I swear most of them must be deeply closeted and repressed for that to seem rational. They think the children can be tempted to gayness because they know, deep down, that they could be tempted.
