They'd find some bullshit law to get that money back, or get one enacted in record time.

What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?

Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a 🍔 called "the 1955" and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

Whataburger's A1 sauce burger with bacon. They got bought out by another company and it vanished 😥

New to Linux - Some beginner questions about Bazzite

Hey guys, so I installed Bazzite on my 2nd SSD last weekend and I've installed some games and searched through the OS to familiarize myself with it, but I still have a few questions about Bazzite and Linux in general that I'd like some help with! I've used Ubuntu and Linux mint in the past (2014ish) just to mess around with but...

Layering with rpm-ostree isn't a big deal, it's designed to be used. Flatpak -> ujust -> rpm-ostree, for looking for programs. It also has a manager for .appimage, so those are easy to use as well.

For your Razer, there's a ujust for it. I personally prefer chromatic or whatever its called. But both use openrazer for backend, which is a layered package.

My favorite cool app is cavalier (flatpak), and before that just cava. A nice visualizer for my sound on my second monitor. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and seeing the live bars bounce based on frequency is always so cool to me.

There are quite a few times when the publishers get the hate for a studio's failings.

That's a very real issue that car enthusiasts have a hard time with. There's just something about a great sounding engine that is the cherry on top of a car you like. My weak spot is a 4 rotor screaming like a banshee from Mazda's Le Mans car.

Electric cars are fun, and I don't personally mind they're basically silent. But nothing will replace the fun of a manual transmission ICE.

I don't think most people get a loud exhaust for attention either, but because they like it. But windows down blasting music is pointless and toxic, IMO.

Also saying if you want speed to go electric is too generic, IMO. What kind of speed and when you're going to use it is important. For example, if you want speed from a standstill, then sure electric. Want speed once you're already moving, like a race track, then ICE is fine since you'll be high RPMs.

Unraid does an excellent job at this. I helped a friend setup a rack mounted server, it runs home assistant, some other containers, and a VM for him to work in, or play games. AMD GPU being passed through.

Codilingus ,

That sounds like a great gift though.

I'm in the play test for this, and boy is this meme wrong.

My Ubuntu on a SBC for a workshop just killed itself on Monday. Had it for a few months, new SBC, fresh Ubuntu install, 0 customization, just using it occasionally for Chromium. It popped up a new version -Minotaur or something- was out, so I said sure upgrade. It gave an error for bash near the end, then bricked itself. Now i gotta dig out SD cards and find a new distro.

Fuck Ubuntu. Ends in misery every single time.

And no I don't want any recommendations.

Codilingus ,

Just burn the ISO to a USB drive with Rufus, a window full of options with check boxes will pop up, with a lot of options to turn installation bullshit.

Codilingus ,

The IoT LTSC does not have this requirement. Or a USB made in Rufus can have it disabled.

"Meanwhile, poor countries are struggling to raise the estimated $1tn (£785bn) a year of external finance needed to help them cut emissions and cope with the impacts of the climate crisis."

It felt so sad to read this.

This reminds me of the old gpt2 and 3 subreddits, before this "AI" boom, and no one had ever heard of GPT. Every subreddit was condensed to a single user, with the GPT trained on only that sub. So you'd have things like TIL-GPT makes a post in the GPT3 subreddit: "TIL you can...." and a full comment section from from GPT users like Movies-GPT, WorldNews-GPT, PCMasterRace-GPT, etc.

Reading through them had the chance to be wild. When the posts would make just barely enough sense, but random enough to be unhinged.

I don't know how much was automated, or if people would toggle runs of X amount of new posts, or what. But eventually people made subreddits for posting screenshots of the best GPT's talking to each other.

You could always see patterns and then go to the real sub, and see how accurate they were. GPTs from gaming subreddits unironically posting circlejerks, from conservative subs being lowkey racist, etc.

New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare ( www.theverge.com )

The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and...

Codilingus ,

Probably the same way they've done Windows in the past: Enterprise, IoT, LTS/B, and Education versions. All you can do at that point is assume and hope they aren't lying about telemetry gathered in those variants.

To me, this reads like it implies that government and govt programs are bad because of the govt employees, but if you were to take those same "corrupt" politicians and put them to work at private companies that they would stop being "corrupt." Like it is a belief/reaction to one specific bad instance of a large government/program. "The government sucks at program X, so if we get rid of that program, the same general population will gain empathy, morals and efficiency if working for a company to run program X."

Codilingus ,

God, that quote is forever my all time favorite. Never fails to make me laugh. Every once in a while I gaslight a friend, but like absurdly and obviously. Within a few minutes they ask, "wait, are you gaslighting me?!" And I respond with that quote, to their sighs and chuckles.

Codilingus ,

Blows my mind, credit has nothing to do with IT skills?!

Codilingus ,

Do you have to struggle with the insane only work, no life, salary man/woman problems? Or did you find something that doesn't follow that "life style?"

Codilingus ,

I feel like most of them only vote R because they're getting bamboozled into believing that the Rs stand for conservative, Christian, family values.

Codilingus ,

I feel like I just read el nino is over a few days ago.

Codilingus ,

What's wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated...a bunch of lazy clowns.

It also shows LoL's old anti-cheat, you'd get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you'd run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.

In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn't sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.

None of these studio's give a single fuck about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.

Codilingus ,

You just reminded me, that the homies and myself aren't going to Lake Tahoe this year. My favorite beach there has specs of fools gold in the water, and it's pretty in the sun. The reason we can't go? The prices for EVERYTHING there have tripled, since we went last year....

"CAARRLLLllllll, make more videos."

"Woh, i was not aware that many people wanted more videos, I am in the wrong here."

Those driver ratings mean literally nothing, the ONLY metric that counted as a driver was incomplete deliveries.

Codilingus ,

I drove for doordash about ~2 years ago. Everyone knew the ratings had no say in your orders. You could see all the threads and Reddit posts of new drivers asking, and nothing but replies along the lines of the only metric that matters is failed deliveries. Fail to complete too many (IIRC it was something like you needed 80% success), then you essentially get fired in the form of you won't receive any more orders.

To be fair, that might have changed since, but IMO those platforms are fragmented and they need all the drivers they can exploit. So unless a driver fails too many times, what do they care? From personal experience though, it can easily be the customers fault and they get pissy and leave a bad review, which makes ratings that much more irrelevant.

Example/old rant: Had a guy order a single Popeyes sandwich, with like $1 tip. I took it because it SHOULD have only been like 7 mins total, as I was right there, for a quick ~$5. They gave 0 instructions for what must have been an apartment complex designed by a mouth breather who failed Elementary School. 1/2 the buildings where numbered/lettered the same. They didn't use any kind of order for building nor door numbering, and on top of that the entrances were under construction. So every door had its number missing except for a little piece of painters tape with a sharpied number on it. After 10 minutes of looking for his apartment, and 0 response from the customer, I left it at a random apartment whose number matched and took the photo, and left a comment it was impossible to find their apartment. Of course within minutes of completing the order they start blowing up my phone, to which I just finally blocked their number.

Same setup minus jellyfin. You can play directly from your server/nas using NFS, and Kodi will scrape for the meta data and match the show/movie. Now I only use Jellyfin for when I'm out of the house. Worth noting it also does Atmos!

Would HIGHLY recommend the oDroid N2+ with CoreELEC!

Bonus, if you use any *Arr programs, they can also sync to Kodi, for notifications on media added, and to sync and clean Kodi's database for deleted media.

2nd'ed

I have their PoE dome cameras outside my house. They are so nice to use and configure in the Web GUI.

Codilingus ,

Sounds like a Frank Reynolds quote!

Codilingus ,

I've been rocking recyclarr now for almost a year. Was a pain in the ass to figure out the config, but very nice automate another piece off the Arr machine.

Codilingus ,

Can confirm, have installed n8n for a friend and traefik wasn't need. Then another friend out of state wanted access to it. So I installed traefik + authelia + crowdsec w/ traefik bouncer.

E-reader because being able to set the font and brightness so I don't get eye fatigue.

Linux distro for selfhosting server

So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I...

Codilingus ,

Unraid is the GOAT when it comes to being headless for docker. They know how to walk the fine line of "this is too much. It's bloat," and "this is minimal and bare bones." I seriously can't hype them enough, and can't do justice to describing their ease of use.

Codilingus ,

Classic JDM shit boxes till I die. Used to be a joke, but since cars have become what are essentially IoT devices, it's become real. 🥲

Tidal HiFi/medium tier ->Equalizer APO with just a tiny bit of tuning -> a xDuoo stack of USB DAC + hybrid tube amp -> Sennheiser HD560S

Definitely a little bit of overkill. But still overall fantastic budget, and do it all setup. Competitive shooters, movies, and music all sound fantastic.

My next goal is a multibit DAC + tube only amp -> something like a HD 6XX. Or maybe a good solid state -> planar magnetic headphones.

"A federal study found that North Carolina’s proposed code update would have added at most about $6,500 to the price of a newly built home, not $20,400. According to the analysis, these changes would have paid for themselves through lower power bills..."

I feel like if you're buying a NEW house, and $6500 extra is too much, you shouldn't be buying a house...

Codilingus ,

Like others have said, Windows Defender, but also an ad blocker extension for your web browser. I'd recommend Ad Nauseam -which is ublock origin under the hood- and Firefox over Chrome. All of those are free.

Codilingus ,

You just reminded me I'm still angry I saw that in theaters all those years ago...lmao.

Codilingus ,

I feel like the biggest issue is what would amount to homeless corralling, and if they violated the law by living outside the designated zone, they'd be fined. The state knows they wouldn't be able to pay, and thus 90+ days of prison labor.

"The proposed legislation grants cities the authority to designate specific areas for unhoused individuals. If individuals are found outside of the designated area, residing in a tent, hut, temporary shelter, or vehicle with the intention to sleep, they may face misdemeanor charges, leading to a fine of $5,000 and a potential imprisonment of up to 90 days."

Don't get me wrong, the deadly force bits are definitely worse, but I feel like what I quoted above is the true motivation.

Codilingus ,

There's a company that has AI powered anti heat and they claim it is amazing, but also claim very few companies people wanna work with them. A hint that they know their player count would suffer.

Codilingus ,

Nope.

Codilingus ,

For years I've wondered what ROCm was, too lazy to figure it out. Thank you for this!
