Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation
One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.
I should not have opened it on work time. Youtube has got my number for sure.

1·21 days agoWhen you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.
Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Could the original WWII Willys Jeep be built and sold today?
2·22 days agoThe slate truck has been advertising itself as open source; ironically partially funded by Elon, actually.
There’s also been a couple people saying they’d make one for the past several years, if my internet searches are a thing to go by.
This guy just started a company for managing an open source truck project, and he seems pretty serious about it. He just started though, so we aren’t likely to see anything actually come of it for several years. https://mutiny.fm/ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G-QgQitWNLY
There’s also the tabby evo, which is for sale right now, but I’m not so sure I’d call that a car so much as a gokart that may or may not be street legal. https://www.openmotors.co/product/tabbyevo/

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Could the original WWII Willys Jeep be built and sold today?
5·22 days agoYes. Because it is. https://www.hotcars.com/this-country-is-still-producing-ww2-willys-jeep-parts/
Absolutely not in the states though. Whatever came after passing safety regulations wouldn’t be a Willy’s Jeep.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Any way to defeat HDCP for Chromecast recording?
5·28 days agoYou kinda have to play the lottery with the HDMI cards; some of the can strip it, some of them can’t. And it looks like some of them strip it and get detected.
They can’t advertise that as a feature either, so it’s a bit of a crapshoot. It may be worth finding the latest reddit post about it to see if anyone has a specific model that was working in the past year.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.
16·28 days agoHonestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.
Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.
Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.
It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.
For what it’s worth, the ID check means this makes it harder to buy ammo than it would be from a store with a person in it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well
33·1 month agoWe wish the security issues were what killed flash, but it had more than twenty years of security issues failing to kill flash. Flash died because it was replaced by newer technology.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything
7·1 month agoIf you aren’t transcoding, and the player is taking too long to cache the video before starting, you might be having some sort of storage issue. You would need to try a couple of different things to figure out what, specifically, is taking so long to send the video out.
The first thing that comes to mind is that your storage is on an SSD, and it is nearly full. An SSD that is nearly full will usually perform much much worse than it would if it had more space to work with. https://pureinfotech.com/why-solid-state-drive-ssd-performance-slows-down/
The next thing that comes to mind is that your files are stored on the same drive that jellyfin transcodes onto, and it is not using an SSD. If you have jellyfin reading from a single drive, jellyfin encoding to that same drive, and also everything else also running, you might be causing your hard drive to seek a lot in order to get everything up and running. You could test this by changing the jellyfin transcode location to a different storage device.
I’ve also found that page and video loading times tend to be directly affected by the storage medium’s seek times. If you had jellyfin installed on the same hard drive as your videos, it will be slower than if you had installed jellyfin on a ssd separate from the drive you store your videos on. This one wouldn’t likely result in minute loading times though.

28·1 month agoYou should not be having transcode issues with anything less than four concurrent streams on that server. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ae6683/intel_n100_vs_ryzen_7_1700_1st_gen_an_interesting/
It’s likely that you have hardware transcoding disabled. Enable it, and these issues should go away. This forum post has good settings in jellyfin for an n100, https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-correct-transcoding-settings-for-the-n100-processor
You should be able to find instructions for enabling hardware encoding in your bios by searching for it with your specific device model.
*edit
Handbrake does a bad job of explaining the difference between software encoding and hardware encoding. Or at least, it felt that way to me when I last used it. You likely were trying to software encode your videos, which, while theoretically makes the end result better quality, definitely won’t be quick on an n100. You’ll want to pick the option that has intel quicksync/qsv in it in order to get the most speed out of your handbrake encodes. https://www.reddit.com/r/handbrake/comments/z2m814/comment/kxu2a8x/
To be canonically correct the face needs to show up only on the back half of the dress.

Technology@beehaw.org•The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era
3·2 months agoNo, exactly. That’s the problem. You can’t really advertise ergonomics without it looking really different; so everyone just says “wider and thinner than ever before” and calls it a day. So we’re here; with everything the wrong size and shape.
The most comfortable phone I ever used was similar to the middle phone in this picture; except the buttons were raised even higher, and the middle key wasn’t a scroll wheel, just another simple button. It was also thinner, and had less rounded edges.

Technology@beehaw.org•The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era
61·2 months agoY’all appear to have forgotten what phones felt like before things got to this extreme.
It was for ergonomics; it’s easier and more comfortable to hold a phone when it fits better in your hand. The phablet phase broke this for most people by making the screens super big, so they tried to correct by making the phones thinner.
A reasonable size phone that is thin enough would be perfect, but marketing doesn’t like it when they can’t advertise a bigger screen number, or a smaller thickness, so here we are.
Offtopic, but I really love that we can check someone’s voting history now. Reddit made it a lot less transparent.
I’m pretty sure that’s not how that works. The math is the same on either side of the owed/earned determination.
If you start with 100$, and earn 10%, you now have 110$. If you owe 100$ and it earns 10% interest, you now owe 110$. This happens regardless of how much work that money is able to accomplish at the time.
Debts won’t grow with inflation, but the math ends up being the same anyways because the actual money amount remains constant.
More importantly, there is no guarantee of market inflation or deflation, much less a “hyper” version. The debt is a solid realised number. Getting rid of it is guaranteed money saved. Saving money in the market instead is a gamble against that debt, and not a guaranteed result, especially if you’re betting it on a less likely event such as hyperinflation.
*edit
And all of this is predicated on an either/or dichotomy. Really, if OP can, splitting between the two options based on their personal risk assessment is the better choice.
Yeah. Market average is ~9% over all time, but I don’t see the market being ‘stable’ in the next eight years. Better to get rid of the guaranteed bad interest right now before putting stuff into the market for possibly more or less interest. It’s the safe option.





Lmaooo he knows what he’s doing.
