I'm not sure why it should be redacted much at all at this point, except for names of known victims. It is of national intrest to the greatest imaginable importance that this dude is sent out of office and to death row yesterday. USA is broken.

You can do maths and programming on a very cheap pc, don't necessarily need an expensive PowerPC with i dunno which graphics card is currently the hype

Because cassette tapes were awful, fast declining quality, tiny picture + tiny booklet if you're lucky. Discman was awful while cycling to school, potholes causing interruptions... The mp3-player 256MB was a really cool innovation! Enjoyed that supermuch. Went through batteries FAST tho. But vinyl LPs... Is just different. It was never meant for on the road scenario and the size of the 12" sleeve just makes for a really cool collection of pictures alongside the cool collection of music. I still enjoy playing vinyl while I find it is the ultimate album experience. You get nice sleeve/context, sort of forced to listen album a to z and always dead silence in the end instead of some algorithm or autoplay making everything a never ending stream of best case 'related' stuff but more common the next sponsored crap being pushed on you...

In a lot of countries they are deeper embedded in many corporate/government cultures than ever before with the office365+teams combo tho...

Plastic kitchen tools like a spatula, made from any kind of plastic, will break down mechanically and in high temperatures. Always. It can't be good to eat plastic, i'ld rather avoid it. Wooden kitchen utensils of course suffer similar issues, but I'm a bit more fine with ingesting tiny pieces of wood once in a while. If I can, while tending to my food, I will always use glass, metal or wood instead of plastic. But you do you, plastic is cheaper... It's not poisonous by the way, but is can be carcinogenic. Yes, arsenic is deadlier than plastic. That does not mean ingesting plastic is healthy.

I'ld still be amazed if European countries decided to pile up 150.000 soldiers, thousands of tanks and artillery somewhere in Finland near Russian border pointing towards st. Petersburg. They just can't not react. This would pull so much Russian force away from the actual frontlines...

it will become like many appliances... You want a dumb tv? Possible, but it will cost you more than a smart one. You want a dumb fridge? Fine, but soon it will cost you more than a 'smart' one you can't even turn on without making an account somewhere and registering your email and phone

why does a fridge need a computer and a screen?

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fair enough if it's decaying in many ways! I had gotten the impression it would be just for the usb-c only. In my perfect world many electronic appliances would also be forced to be a minimum level of repairable and have replaceable batteries of course. Possibly only "professionally replaceable", but not glued in and/or artificially made as little repairable as possible.

Logical things I think it could or should become the norm as well: electric razors, vaporisers, head-flashlights (like Petzl), many kinds of toys like RC cars and such, christmas lights, Halloween decorations etc etc.

It think in many cases it will usually be a lot more ecological to use devices you already own as long as you can and keep repairing them if possible. It's nice to have usb-c, but throwing out a fine, still functioning toothbrush to replace it by a usb-c chargeable model just for that reason seems to me like the opposite of ecological.

I'm not proud of where I got it

Flex launcher looks cool, thanks. Might be more convenient and slicker than trying to put everything in steam and autostart steam...

Best HTPC distro? (infosec.pub)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
 

I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

Tangerine Dream (infosec.pub)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/vinyl@lemmy.world
 

Picked up this record from Tangerine Dream at a local old stuff shop. Shabby looking 50 year old sleeve but record itself is very strong near mint. WOW was this album meant for vinyl. Incredibly excellent experience.

 

Glaubt Ihr es ist Zeit zu ernten, schon zu Spät, oder wird es vielleicht noch besser?

Gorilla Cookie Auto, ich habe nicht wirklich viel gemacht, nur in nen topf auf dem Balkon mit automatische tropfenbewässerung und 2 Monate ziemlich ignoriert. Pflanz hat letzte Woche viele blätter verloren, werden Gelb und danach runtergefallen.

can't share (infosec.pub)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/soulseek@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 

After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.

Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?

EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4

 

Does anyone here know a self hostable service (or a demo of someone else hosting it) which can split common .cbr filetype to a .cbz or other filetype to split the panels?

So for example the 1 image I put with this post, would be 8 seperate images (pages).

That would ideally somehow make the comic books readable on a (somewhat old) black and white travel-Kobo...

 

Was walking down the street the other day. Taking my Pfand to the shop to cash it in and go shopping. Broad day light, nice weather day after many ugly weather days so everyone is looking rather happy in general.

I pass by a local soccer club, lots of youths coming and going by bicycle, it must have been like 5 or 6 in the evening and it seems like one group just ended training and another is starting.

A sparkling white tesla drives up to the entrance of the club, while doing so: blocks the cycle path... was wondering why the kids had to be dropped off at the door with this nice weather.

Anyhow: car stops at the old clothes collection container, passenger gets out: it's a fit young woman (driver is a young man), she walks to the trunk of the car, casually takes out bags of trash and puts them next to the "old clothes" container. It's clearly not bags of old clothes, and she's no putting it in the container but next to it. She takes out a broken vacuum cleaner: casually puts it behind the container, between the soccer club and a small parking lot and a park.

I tell her this is not the place for that and ask her if she can load it in to her car again. She acts like she's from another planet and doesn't understand me. She knows perfectly well. See the guilt in her face. She stays silent, rushes back to the car seat. They drive off, I give the middle finger and a "you're a fucking wanker" sign. We meet again like 100 meters further where they have to stop for red traffic light. They try to ignore me and stare ahead, avoiding all eye contact. Not talking to eachother either. I don't start yelling or hitting the car or whatever, because I didn't wanna cause a scene at the youths/soccer club.

These were really very very "decent" and "normal" looking people. Young, wealthy, healthy, white, with a car. How hard is it to drive 4 minutes to the recycling plant at the edge of the city and dump your trash where it belongs for practically free?

"Normal" people who have dumped their trash where it doesn't belong: WHY?

 

Almost like jellyfin is trying to probe my mood or preferences

 

Hi, what's your setup?

I often listen to music through youtube on my phone connected to a bluetooth speaker. I use Newpipe, works very well. Then when I want to save a song or an album, there's the option for downloading (in newpipe itself) or on android for example Seal (works really well for downloading entire playlists and unselecting some sponsored video's from the playlist).

The hassle is uploading from the phone to my jellyfin. I've used File Browser, bit limited in options.

Then I thought I could use Syncthing to have some folder from my Android phone upload it automatically to my Jellyfin server (pc running dietpi), but it seems Syncthing is now discontinued on Android?

What I was first looking for was my own hosted yt-dlp with a mobile friendly UI, but that seemed quite difficult to get running.

 

Is there a way to turn off incremental search? Either Web UI or apps: search seems to send a search instruction to server for every new letter added to the search box. I'ld much rather type a few letters (I usually sort of know what I'm looking for) and then click send or whatever to fetch results only for that. Would improve performance a lot for me

 

Hi, my laptop got fried because of getting caught in the rain :(

I got a gaming laptop for work a few years ago, because appearantly the CPU AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX was about the best thing to be found for updating some ridiculously complicated excel power query circusses at work, according to the internet back then (i think I found that info on pc master race on reddit before the reddit-api-fall), and finding those CPU's in business laptops was rather difficult at the time. They were right, this CPU handled the queries like a walk in the park.

Is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900H* still a very good CPU for this kind of thing, or should I put in a lot more time investigating again, is there better cost-efficiency available now in other CPU?

Sorry if this is not a right place for this question. I'm usually not really a hardware guy. Just need a CPU that handles this Excel shit as fast as possible, preferably without locking up the entire machine and without being as noisy as an F16 getting ready for lift off. On "regular" work laptops with i5 or i7, these files can take literally over an hour to update.
