I’ve been collecting CDs, DVDs, and BRs for 30 years. They fill a closet. Thank fuck for rippers, though, so I can play them all from one HD with a little sort through menu and a click.
It’s hard to keep up with all the new hotness on disks, though. If you want to know what the guys at work are talking about with Ted Lasso, or The Boys, then it’s streaming or high seas.
20" Lasko fans are still just $20, and you can use the box it comes in to shroud it to your GPU.
You’re not wrong. From the study:
Most fully alcohol-attributable diseases require heavy drinking, either occasionally (e.g. alcohol poisoning) or chronically (most chronic disease categories linked to alcohol).
That seems a lot more useful than binary tags. There’s a wide spectrum between fully vibe-coded slop and hand-written with vim.
“Collaboration” “Mentoring” Outside of thee military, few companies have any mechanism to train people to move up the corporate ladder. If you’re not there watching the boss, then you have no idea how to do their job. If the boss can’t see you, they can’t delegate the little tasks that amount to job training. If the boss can’t see you, they have no way to evaluate whether you’re helping or not.
The boss got his job by watching his boss and being in the right place when some opportunity came up, so that’s their entire understanding of corporate advancement.
Well, the steam machine has a custom gpu, but it seems similar to an RX 7650, so
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/5320vs6308/Radeon-860M-vs-Radeon-RX-7650-GRE
should give you some quick numbers. Or I’m sure GN has a 90 minute video going through the details.
The tux uses the AMD iGPU, where Steam machine has a dedicated GPU, so it’s going to be very different.
Is the topic of financial/trading tools just completely off-limits here, even if it’s AGPL and self-hosted?
Not necessarily. The platform (lemmy, not just c/selfhosted) is full of anti-corporate leftists and anarchists. You’re more likely to find people who want to burn the stock market to the ground than to participate in it, esp highly speculative algo trading.
I’ve seen plenty of people ask about self-hosted personal finance or portfolio tracking, so there are people for whom your project might be relevant. Just seems more like a r/wallstreetbets kind of thing than a lemmy kind of thing.
Add CO2 or pm 2.5, and you’ll really see when you cook. Boiling pasta doesn’t do much in my place, but my humidity ranges from 65-75%. (I prefer to watch the dewpoint, which is basically glued to 19°C all summer)
If you’re in the Western hemisphere, NOAA has every-5-minute satellite images, using the form

Dunno if I’d be looking forward for the grift. The wannabe camp in Social Circle, Georgia had been an abandoned warehouse that DHS bought from some Russian oligarch for 4 times what the oligarch paid. That doesn’t mean DHS won’t give it away so some new courtier can make a few million, just that it’s already been used to gift $100M taxpayer dollars to a billionaire.
So, I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.
I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
I’ve always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we’ve just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.
most powerful military on the planet by an order of magnitude
Apparently, that reckoning only works if you include the nukes, which even Trump couldn’t get anyone to use.
I started doing the One True Database method because I got worried that the high write count on all the little db’s was abusing a raspberry pi’s SD card. Moved them all to a bigger server with NVME and mirroring to a RAID.
Not all the compose files make obvious how to reconfigure the db host. Homeassistant uses s a sqlite db built into the container, rather than a separate unit, but you can force it to use a remote db through its config file. May or may not be worth hiding db user/pass in a .env And sometimes there’s trouble restarting after power failure, depending on what order the database, pi, and various containers come back up.
I also feel it’s worthwhile. I feel better being able to check on all the databases. Feel better not writing to the SD card so much. Feel better offloading those megabytes and cpu cycles from the little pi. It’s been fun snooping through database structures. There have been a couple times where I decided to query one of the ccontain databases directly, or cross from one project to another, and it’s easier (for me) to give a different user privileges to the database and query some deep bit of data than to figure out how to extract it from an API or frontend.
I’m not even running that many services, but why would I want the overhead of 6 separate mysql instances when I could just have one?
It seems like it should be possible to build keyboard (and other) peripherals that exist in both virtual and physical worlds. Give them sensors similar to the hand controllers, so the headset can know where they are in space, project into VR so it’s easy to find and use.
VR handsets are incredibly flexible as spatial controls, but we’ve got all this evolution and a lifetime of learning just amazing finger dexterity. That control is based more on tactile and proprioceptive feedback than visual, so I think it’s been overlooked in the vision-focused VR space.
A self–described Zionist turning down AIPAC money seems like he was going to do what they want, anyway, and just wants AIPAC to spend their money on candidates who need to be bought.
Probably unrelated to the 2+% drop in stock markets when he hypes up an armageddon, or the 2+% rise when he calls it off.
A records return the numerical address of a name.
CNAME returns a different name for a name. Basically ‘synonym’ so the maintainer only has to change the one master, A record when the IP address changes. Convenient to use CNAME to point www.example.com to example.com, but you can use it just as well to point example.com at my.private.host.xyz You can even chain multiple CNAMEs to make it easier to manage a complex backend structure while presenting a simple address to users.
They announce pretty regularly when they’ve entrapped some bunch of hicks into fake bomb plot. Why would they not announce that they’ve interrupted a legit, grassroots plot?
