Yes most likely, they don't use YouTube anyway, too busy watching Mandingo fights.

The ones used for 4K recordings are not slow 100+MBps, I won't say prone to failure as such, flash storage can only handle a finite number of writes but we can mitigate that by using wear leveling.

I won't mind that much storage, the 256GB I have are nearly full.

After looking a bit more it seems like illumos is mostly the kernel, and openIndiana is one of the maintained distros.

Makes sense Mastodon and Lemmy use two different "languages" for posts.

I'm just spitballing here, but what if some instances had SSO for both Mastodon and Lemmy so you could do both ways of communication.

First of all if you solve problems that means you know enough of the subject to reason out the solution, it may not be perfect but very few solutions are.

I have been working on legacy code and maintaining old c++ code for a decade (200.000 loc) and most of the time I had to spend days debugging and reading code just to understand enough to get a possible solution, and then I still end up writing a solution that breaks in a different corner case that I never could have imagined.

So yes most of the time you feel like you don't know anything, but over time you end up knowing a lot of how that codebase works. And after two years you must have picked up something about what you are working on.

Then you have those programming language genius colleagues, that know all the tips and tricks of a language, I use them to get ideas on solutions, because they always have an opinion on what is the "right" way of doing stuff.

That's just my 2 cents.

They sadly don't have 3.5" [floppy] drives anymore, and both the ISA and PCI busses are nowhere to be found 😔

I used pcpartpicker for my latest build it's a good help when assembling and can help avoid those incompatible parts.

I meant to write 3.5" floppy drives, and yes the 3.5" and 2.5" form factors are still going strong, even if the NVMe's probably will reduce the use of 2.5"

    Using a raspberry pi seems very underpowered, best case you will be limited to something like 4-7B models on a 8GB RPi4. You may need to configure it with very long timeouts and expect it to output something like a token every few minutes.

    I ran a 6B model on a i7 without a GPU and it didn't give good results before I got CUDA up and running. Probably because of timeout.

    Not even one ad, it's open source same with Eternity.

    I switched from Jerboa to Eternity because of the 0.19 update fuss.

    I'm not sure how VPN will help against ads, without VPN Boost access the ads from IP A, with VPN Boost access the ads from IP B.

    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    When the update happened, The version of Jerboa in the app store and fdroid was not compatible with the 0.19 changes as you could not sign in, so I just switched to Eternity (which seemed to handle 0.19 better) instead of looking for a RC version of Jerboa.

    Edit: There are no problems with the current version of Jerboa (0.0.55) and Lemmy 0.19.2, just to make things clear.

    Me vs my ISP

    So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

    BeigeAgenda ,
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    Same here, I never touch the provided router just connect my own pfsense box and if I want to access my local server I use my VPS. I have set it up so the home server does SSH forwarding over VPN to the VPS, my setup it’s a bit slow but it does the job.

    I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

    My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

    Linux way way slower than Windows?

    So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It’s as if I’m...

    YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan - The Verge ( www.theverge.com )

    I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each...

    Yes, but we keep hoping something better will show up, it’s just taking way too long.

    The first one is a Kodi player.

    The second one was originally intended for RetroPi, but now it’s a mp3 player running MPD, and connected to my sleep headphones.

    BeigeAgenda ,
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    Yep that’s also how I set it up, it boots up in RetroPi and then you can start Kodi from there, but now I mostly boot up on the MPD SD card instead. I have also configured it to be a Bluetooth speaker, so I can attach the phone.

    BeigeAgenda , (edited )
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    I couldn’t find a simple plug and play solution, so it took several tries to find the right guides, especially because raspbian have changed their Bluetooth/audio setup, so the old guides don’t work.

    The solution I found uses a script/daemon that sets up the speaker and waits for Bluetooth connections.

    I’ll look for the script…

    Edit: found it github.com/…/pw_wp_bluetooth_rpi_speaker

    I added a systemd service running as root.

    Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

    A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans.
