From the transcript and ai generated summary from Claude:

Here is a summary of the key points from the Linus Tech Tips YouTube video on why DisplayPort is better than HDMI:

  • DisplayPort has an embedded mode (EDP) used in laptops and tablets to drive internal displays in a simpler, thinner way vs HDMI.

  • DisplayPort has a USB-C alt mode to deliver signals over USB-C ports, enabling charging and video over one cable. HDMI's alt mode was discontinued.

  • DisplayPort is royalty-free while HDMI charges device makers a per-unit royalty fee.

  • DisplayPort supports multi-stream transport for daisy chaining multiple monitors from one output.

  • DisplayPort can easily convert to HDMI signals via passive adapters, but not the reverse.

  • DisplayPort cables often have latches to lock them in place, preventing accidental disconnections.

  • Key advantages of DisplayPort are higher bandwidth, more flexibility, lower costs, and convenience features over HDMI. But HDMI remains widely used due to broader consumer electronics adoption.

In summary, the video makes the case that DisplayPort is technically superior to HDMI in several ways, though market dominance of HDMI persists. Both serve an important role in connectivity.

Agreed! The only way to make sure that we can hit "critical mass" (the point in which content is relatively the same as on Reddit), is to continue what we did over there, and more. Most of us were lurkers on Reddit (me included). We now have to generate the content that most bots, mods, and superuser did for us. This allows us to get the links and content that we enjoyed reading and interacting with on Reddit.

Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I've loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask "Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!" .... No...no....no 🙄

Don't forget, that SCOTUS also gave themselves the right of judicial review out of thin air.

I remember when a reporter did a review of the Tesla back when they first started to get popular. They gave the reporter a loaner car to test and review it. Ended up giving it a bad review. But what stuck out the most was how much data Musk had on the vehicle/driver to try and discredit the story. From time the person used any of the devices, to video, and power % all remotely...

The early days of Internet bullet boards and forums, that focused on one specific niche. Where I stumbled upon the posts from time traveler John Titor or TimeTravel_0. Good times reading those and becoming fascinated with the what if aspect of it all.

I ran into the same problem and ended up switching to an S3 with Vultr. It's been a while since I did it but here are the links that I used to figure it out. I'm deployed using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy.

I used a combination of:

Good luck!

Reminds me of that Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica where the dad recreates his daughters life in a machine by recreating her life from her social media presence...

Firefox - bookmark side bar is still the only reason I can’t use chrome (besides issues with privacy et al)

Even using searxng it comes up with Google & qwant show it as conservative. But allsides has it left leaning bias.

4-5 years ago Steam had the same issue with their market place. Selling and buying skins for CS:GO and others.

I am in 100% agreement with you. I'm kind of in the same mindset in figuring out my homelab setup. Still learning docker and how volumes work 😢 haha

I'm in academia but I like to tinker with tech. So when my students or co-workers are surprised that I know so much about tech and how to navigate around most computer systems and troubleshoot (Mac/Windows/Linux) they are perplexed. They ask why I didn't major in tech. I tell them that I majored in what I loved (history) and play with tech as a hobby to relax.

It's why I selfhost my own Lemmy server. Gives me something to do with my hobby, keeps me focused on what's new in tech, makes me learn to keep up with docker, Linux, editing CRON tabs etc.

This might help, haven’t tried it but their proof of concept website looks promising.

I'm closing in on 40 and I've had this mid-life crisis spell happen during the later part of COVID, 2020-2021. I love to write short stories and poetry, but with my "crisis" it became a burden to even think about putting thoughts down. Then this person comes into my life, we will call her Martha. I'm twice her age, her superior at work, and generally not someone I would talk to. But besides all that, we strike up a friendship. It's weird at first, the age gap, the maturity level, and me the authority figure. But we connect somehow, and my writing returned. At first it is mostly about her, and these torrent of emotions that she drew out of me. Her personality, energetic, kind, and thoughtful helped invigorate my own life. Like a nurse pulling poison from a wound, I felt liberated after all this time. All because of her.

We eventually went our separate ways. We seldom talk anymore, but that friendship we made still helps me write. I think of her, and my inner voice sings to express itself. She is my muse but I'll never tell her or say anything about it (maybe if we ever reconnect in the future). Martha has changed me and is my inspiration.

Nullification theory has been a legal idea since before the Supreme Court issued their ruling in Marbury v. Madison on constitutionality. See Kentucky and Virgina Resolutions of 1798-1799.

I guess those Missouri legislators forgot about the Supremacy Clause during their courses in history/civics. It would also be upheld in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), and most recently Edgar v. MITE Corp (1982) and another in 2000.

Same, updated effortlessly.

Big Nothing (2006) with Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, David Schwimmer...a train wreck of events that always makes me laugh when I watch it.

This is the answer. I usually take the attachment and comb my hair with it to make sure it lines up with what I want it to do BEFORE I attach it and start clipping.

Source: Been clipping own hair for 15 year now, with same clippers.

It could be the content blocker is active, something that is standard on Safari now. When you go to a website, click on the Aa button on the address bar, you should see it in the list.

Hope that helps.

Maybe look into self hosted llm. I've used two recently to help analyze a large volume of books, by ingesting them into the data set, then chat with the bot for specifics. It worked pretty well but there are some limitations, such as token length and general hallucinations. But they both use citations of the data they used, so it helps to check their work.

PrivateGPT - https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT

Llamaindex - https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index

Both have simple selfhosted webui or actual applications. So, in theory you should be able to ingest data and then see if it then matches any submissions you submit later. But I have not really tried it for this though, so it might not work.

This is the one I use to host on a vps. No clue on it's deployability on a pi.

It's auto installs and updates. Just need to forward the DNS for your instance to whatever domain name you like. It's pretty straight forward from the documentation.

Daniel....is that you? 🧐

Right there with you…brutal here

I've been using Firefox on my MacBook for a decade. Near will look back to safari.

Vice Grip Garage (YouTube)

If you want to watch a burly man with dry humor try and fix a car, sight unseen, then drive it home over 300+ miles with questionable breaks and engine. Then this is you YouTube show for you. Recently he got picked up for a TV show but his past YouTube videos are really good. He recently moved to Tennessee from Wisconsin(?) but he still travels across the country finding old cars to bring them back to life.

It's a great show to teach you the basics on getting an engine or car to run.

I think sometimes people forget that this the way our Constitution in the US is constructed. If we "fail" to work together and just become partisan shills, then it's designed to NOT function. If we put party over country, it is difficult to push legislation through because each side will vote in opposition to the other side even if the idea or legislation is good for the country.

As an example, parliament style governments only function if the ruling party has enough votes to pass legislation. If they fail to have a majority, then new elections are called until a coalition can form or enough party representation is voted in.

Here in the US, electors can basically sit around for 2 years doing nothing until the next election. Plus even if the House passes legislation, a devided Senate can kill it too, or a President vetos it, or a Supreme Court guts it or strikes it down as unconstitutional (even though judicial review is a made-up concept not in the Constitution).

Checks and balances in the Constitution are designed to cause gridlock and dysfunction. When they say "dysfunction in Congress is here to stay"...they should say "dysfunction has always been here, we just noticed it."

If you are wanting to self-host outside of your home-lab and use a VPS, it is pretty simple. Ubergeek77 has compiled a docker image to easily install it all in like 5 steps. Take a look, https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

I mean, I can get most of any books I'm looking for from https://annas-archive.org/, and with the website is pretty clean from clutter.

Feel like I'm play Golden Eye or Perfect Dark

Hank got buff

I've moved mine to both cloudflare and porkbun. Pretty easy, almost instant. Didn't even cause my site to go down which was good.

Jonathan Maberry, Joe Ledger series is a really good action, near future sci-fi, popcorn romp, style of fiction. It's like Saturday morning cartoons (just sit and listen) combined with some good writing.

Probably referring to the "Mason and Dixon line" that was coined during the Compromise of 1820 that signified the separation between slave and free. The line separates Pennsylvania and Maryland. Kentucky is under that line. Here's a archives page about it. https://web.archive.org/web/20180717185851/http://www1.udel.edu/johnmack/mason_dixon/
