gibbedygook,

If you don’t mind, which processor do you have? I’ve been thinking of setting up a Jellyfin server too, but I have a G4500 and I’ve always been worried that it can’t handle the load…

gibbedygook,

That’s amazing, thanks! I know mine can probably run Jellyfin locally, but I’m hoping it’ll allow for 1-2 streams remotely. Probably won’t be able to do 2 simultaneous transcodes but direct streams might work

Detained terrorists admit Hamas using hospitals to shield themselves (www.ynetnews.com)

What did you do to survive the night of/after a breakup?

Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager....

gibbedygook,

Breakups are hard. I broke up with someone after 5+ years, and it took a long time to get over.

The best advice I have is, don’t wallow in it and find something else that interests you. Knitting, picking up climbing or cycling as a sport, redecorating your house, anything that gets you actively thinking about something else and spending time in a way that makes you feel fulfilled. Hell, even a new video game or mobile game.

gibbedygook,

some bots are useful, e.g. in the news communities. For AITA, no because you don’t get to respond to the actual OP

Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

Basically every laptop I’ve owned I’ve had to disable sleep when the lid is closed as I often leave them plugged in and want background tasks like downloads or updates to be able to run while I’m not using the machine. However, I don’t think PC laptops have a way to switch to a super low power state and just run...

gibbedygook,

That’s interesting, I never thought this would be a feature that someone would want.

For desktops, standby totally makes sense. But for a laptop that’s meant to be carried around and runs on battery, I’m willing to bet in majority of use-cases, sleeping when closing the lid makes sense for the following reasons:

  1. Closing the lid usually means the user is packing it up and moving the laptop - in which case things like downloads won’t be reliable if you’re constantly moving out of wifi networks
  2. Again, if the user is moving the laptop, preserving battery life is important.
  3. Some laptops are designed so their airflow works best when open, so heat may be an issue. Not to mention you runt he risk of users putting it in their bag and then the laptop overheating.

Of course its possible to detect when the laptop is plugged in vs not plugged in, but ultimately it just seems like your use-case is in the minority, so there isn’t much support for it - anyone who’s determined enough will find a way to disable sleep when the lid is closed like you did.

one workaround is to perhaps set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes, and you can keep the laptop plugged in without closing the lid? The screen probably draws the most energy when idle - when you’re plugged in I’m willing to bet the energy consumption of a laptop with its screen turned off is pretty minimal.

gibbedygook,

i just blocked beehaw communities because i don’t want to accidentally get into a discussion there. If they want to isolate themselves, that’s fine, they can exist as their own little thing.

gibbedygook,
  • The whole “humans went to space” storyline just died a quiet death and the writers couldn’t make a coherent subplot out of it
  • It’s totally impossible for a species clever enough to invent quantum physics to make fashion faux pas like wearing big ugly brand logos on their tshirts. Or wearing denim on denim. Was the stylist on strike during that episode?

6 'Soldiers of Christ' members are in custody after a woman's body was found in a car trunk (apnews.com)

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — Five adults and a 15-year-old self-described as “Soldiers of Christ” religious group members were in custody Thursday on murder charges after a woman’s body was found in the trunk of a car parked outside a popular spa in Atlanta’s suburbs.

gibbedygook,

that’s scary

gibbedygook,

worse, they’re just removing stuff now (like microsd support)

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978 (www.epi.org)

“average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989”

this has got to be a thing.

gibbedygook,

The POS is still claiming to be the victim here.

“After the quick suspension carried out by Fifa, plus the rest of open proceedings against me, it is evident that I will not be able to return to my position,” Rubiales’ statement read.

“Insisting on waiting and holding on is not going to contribute to anything positive, neither to the federation nor to Spanish football.”

Rubiales said he hoped his departure would boost Spain’s joint bid with Morocco and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup.

He added: "I have faith in the truth and I will do everything in my power to prevail.

“My daughters, my family and the people who love me have suffered the effects of excessive persecution, as well as many falsehoods, but it is also true that on the street, more and more every day, the truth is prevailing.”

gibbedygook,

This is honestly the first i’ve heard of this movie.

I just don’t care about superhero movies anymore.

Workers are Resisting Calls to Return to Offices - Slashdot (it.slashdot.org)

America's return-to-office has been a "lagging return," reports the Washington Post: Even with millions of workers across the country being asked to return to their cubicles, office occupancy has been relatively static for the past year. The country's top 10 metropolitan areas averaged 47.2 percent...

“We want you to go back to spending 1-2 hours a day getting from point A to point B using a congested mode of transport so you can do work that could have been done at home. Wait why aren’t people on board with this?”

    gibbedygook,

    aye

    gibbedygook,

    I cast my yes vote in another comment to avoid issues with counting votes, but… are the results of this consequential in any way? shitjustworks admins have already stated they don’t really care. will they abide by the results of this, or will it they just release another “we hear you but too bad” statement?

    gibbedygook,

    any time i see a weird gif reaction i just block.

    it gets repetitive, but that’s the way it is for now.

    at some point i might just move away from shitjustworks to an instance that actually cares.
