"Hoh, what's this? A demand from the Cheeto Mussolini? DELETED!"

In my town they've been setting up the occasional night time check points to stop everybody entering town and check them to make sure they're "not up to anything bad." Given the slave-owning history of my area, I think the cops are trying to finish the establishment of my county as a Sundown area.

Ah yes, the most oppressed gender. Gamers.

It's how I've met most of my friends xD

Neurodivergent queer living in the deep south. My anxiety disorder is slowly graduating into paranoia. I don't know how long I can keep going, but I'm thankful I've got a solid group of friends in my community to help me stay in the fight. The police have started setting up the occasional night time checkpoint in the north section of town, just to make sure people are "behaving." Given the 95+% white majority and the local history, that's straight up sundown town shit.

More a hyperfixation album, but Blue Planet Corporation's Blue Planet has been seeing regular usage on my end lately.

I get at minimum 10-20 scam calls a day. How I wish I were you.

Ayy right on, I've recently come out as agender about a month ago! Still exploring that and learning heaps about myself but man.

Reminds me of Richard Davis, fella who came up with one of, if not the first Kevlar bulletproof vest. Initial tests were great since Kevlar has five times more tensile strength than steel, but to put his money where his mouth was the crazy bastard shot himself point blank to prove a point.

Welp, guess it's a good thing I'm asexual then, that's been my go-to drink sweetener for years.

What is the time, CV-11?

 

As in, channels where the presenter is laid back, calming, and the content is slower paced and chill. My go two examples are LGR for retro computer stuff, and Hainbach for experimental tape music.

 

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

 

After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

 

(I know Linux is better than Windows, there's a better time and place for that talk)

SPECS: OS: Windows 10 Pro N Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X GPU: NVidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti RAM: 4x HyperX Fury DDR4 8GB sticks (two rated for one clock speed, the other two rated for another. As I understand it the faster sticks will just run at the speed of the lower two, and it deffo ain't causing issues cause I've tested games with just one pair or the other. Both gave me crashes)

Minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g34xykxagp29246/050524-8937-01.dmp/file

Simply put, built a custom Windows machine and it gives me BSODs on many more recent games. Deep Rock Galactic, crashes within seconds to minutes of actual gameplay (not including the hub). Remnant: From the Ashes, crashes within minutes on the overworld. Starfield, crashes within minutes to two hours. Blood West, crashes within five minutes of gameplay. Helldivers 2 works fine ingame, but once I quit the game it blue screens within seconds of returning to the desktop.

I've reinstalled drivers. I've disabled sound drivers. I've popped the computer open and reseated everything at least two or three times so far. RAM was tested using MemTest86, no issues at all. CPU temps tend not to exceed anything higher than the 70-75 range ingame (hot, but my processor is rated for up to 90 Celsius). I've reapplied thermal paste four times. I'm on my third install of Windows so far, with this being the Pro N version rather than the Pro version I tried the first two installs. I've had a bit of a go at googling the highlighted files in the Minidump file, but at this point I'm all but giving up. If the Internet can't fix this shit, I'll just sell the components or machine at a loss and stick with an older gaming laptop.

 

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
