acockworkorange,

I mean, yeah, don’t ever buy a Mac, but what’s up with the multiple monitors? Do they struggle with it?

acockworkorange,

That DC cover immediately sent me to 90s X-Men in space stories.

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

acockworkorange,

500GB HDDs? If you don’t need hot swap, with your budget, buy new ones. Transcoding is solved by using any modern-ish Intel CPU. I built one for $230 using a used office desktop and three 4TB HDDs plus a small used NVMe for TrueNAS.

Look at the 3 minute mark for transcoding accelerated CPUs: youtu.be/WCDmHljsinY

acockworkorange,

So another way for people to say “I don’t like where this is going?” What’s wrong with saying “I don’t like where this is going?”

acockworkorange,

[…] and player safety wasn’t a part of the pregame discussion

I think you hit the nail in the head here. The pregame safety discussion is the key part. That’s what primes everyone to engage without judgement when they feel uncomfortable.

And all the safety tools seem to focus too much on how this is achieved, when the focus should be in the prep. What does a traffic light card achieves that lines and veils can’t do better? A GM can easily miss a tap on a card when they are trying to improv on the spot while moving the narrative forward. It’s much harder to miss a verbal request.

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter (www.theguardian.com)

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

acockworkorange,

I really want to see this as the UN finally mending its ways, but seeing how they got Saudi Arabia for women’s rights chair and got caught denying doing anything for refugees in Thailand because “it would anger China”… I can’t help but see it as them playing to someone’s interest in creating chaos.

I don’t know who that would, what I know is trusting the UN’s motives isn’t a good bet lately.

acockworkorange,

It’s truly a beacon of equality and human rights upholding.

acockworkorange,

Meh. I’m fine with making rules without their input on any subject matter, and specially this one.

acockworkorange,

A refinery has a tank with millions of liters of gasoline. It already has the bomb. All you really need is a penetrator and an igniter.

acockworkorange,

You… got a source for that?

acockworkorange,

Fifteen here. Underground tanks are not that common. They are a maintenance and environmental nightmare. But it would be nice if you could provide with any evidence other than “trust me bro”.

acockworkorange,

So all you need to do to build a tank is to move your entire facility to where natural geology favors not building a tank?

That still says nothing about the prevalence of above ground vs underground tanks.

acockworkorange,

Man, now you’re just moving goalposts. Did they blow up a refinery or whatever you’re cooking up in your head? It’s clear you’re not having an honest discourse here. Goodbye.

acockworkorange,

Nah. There’s a good chance they’re receiving now what they ordered before all that was widely known.

Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

acockworkorange,

Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.

acockworkorange,

What is their business model?

Selling free software without enforcing it.

How do they earn money to give out?

See above.

What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?

Cash.

acockworkorange,

Bug is not even a scientific definition. If I want to group spiders with bugs, that’s perfectly fine.

acockworkorange,

Bug is a kid’s term for bug-like things. That’s as closest to a scientific definition you’ll get. It’s like trying to precisely define creepy-crawlies.

Case in point: the children’s movie A bug’s life. There’s a spider and two rolie-polies in the main cast, along insects (not sure all are in the Hemiptera clade).

acockworkorange,

You get one level at the get go because everything is in a function. So just two levels of indentation? A pretty basic if… for…if nesting has to be refactored? Into what? Goto? Should I sprinkle return statements all over the place?

Y’all gotta understand that Linus is often kind of an ass.

acockworkorange,

We are not stuck to DEC VT100 terminals anymore. It’s okay to have 100 columns of code. And wasting 10% of that space for each indentation? What are you smoking?

Fix for the capslock slow response

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I’m hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I’m the person who can never learn how to use the shift...

acockworkorange,

People, can we focus on the technical issue instead of criticizing OP for their typing habits?

acockworkorange,

GPL v3 prevents mechanisms that interfere with the ability of the end user to replace the free firmware of a device, like accepting only signed firmwares. It’s an “anti-TiVo” thing. It won’t prevent proprietary drivers, but any device distributed with it must not prevent the user from making their own drivers to replace them.

There isn’t a real solution that would work for user space drivers. At least not yet. But just like GPL v3 rose from TiVo, if this becomes an issue I’m sure the lawyers of FSF will come up with something, and Linus and a lot of other folk will hate it.
