My personal theory for the curved edges is, that samsung just wanted to prevent cheap off brand replacement screens.

Well the player and its controls are client side.

I have searched for alternatives. There are none that I am aware of. I just want a streaming box that can run jellyfin with a simple remote. I really don't want to use a keyboard in bed.

If anyone knows a simple setup that boots straight into jellyfin with a remote, I would love to hear about it.

BuT tHeRe Is VoIcE cOnTrOl!!!

Yes but if I have two friends on board that are talking I won't say

"SILENCE EVERYONE! I WILL NOW ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE NAVIGATIOM DESTINATION THREE TIMES WHICH WILL ALL FAIL!"

And zooming the map on skodas with touch screens is just THE WORST.

There are a few flaws.

There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warrenty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.

Makes great visual math videos. Without him I would have never studied electronics.

Imagine if nerv had invested some of its money in the mental health of its employees. I like to think many issues could have been solved by hiring a few therapists.

If you have a TPM 2 you can use secure boot (custom keys) to allow Linux to decrypt itself if nothing has changed.

It's like spectre and meltdown you also lost the advertised performance. Less performance is better than a gaping security hole or a broken chip.

Disk IO can cause rediculous load averages. The highest one I have seen:

high load

My HDDs were sweating that day. Turns out running btrfs defrag once a blue moon is a good idea...

I spam escape but I usally disable sleep on all my machines and use hibernation instead. Too many issues with sleep. Randomly wakes up, USB devices aren't recognized, a monitor stays black...

If you install windows its a microsoft computer with limited access granted to you. very generous.

You don't need a facebook account a meta account was available as an alternative. That's great right? Much better!!!

I don't know if meta accounts still exist... The whole migration was a huge mess. The oculus brand was much cooler. I wouldn't have bought my oculus quest 1 if it had been a facebook product back then.

The biggest offenders for me are:

  • I struggle to navigate and make out alle the controls of the settings app. Somehow finding the settings visually is very difficult.
  • The new settings app is single instance. The control panel had lots of popup windows and you could open it multiple times which allowed parallel open settings windows.

I am always really annoyed when perfectly flat space in Austria is wasted with solar panels WHEN there are huge flat roofed buildings around.

I hope they are not also chopping down trees.

I wonder if its the game asking Google to prompt you or if it is Google play games doing it automatically.

My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Eve...

I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.

It's great for writing latex.

latexify

sum i=0 to n ( x_i dot (nabla f(x)) x e_r) = 0
\[
\sum_{i=0}^{n} \left( x_i \cdot (\nabla f(x)) \times e_r \right) = 0
\]

Also great at postioning images and fixing weird layout issues.

Vaultwarden really is great. The offline edits are my only grime with it. Also I dislike how happily the browser extension discards your inputs when you click outside.

While I don't like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

Just don't resize the panels and yur good. If you never display anything else burn in won't be an issue.

And since you code so fast the characters won't burn in.

One router (opnsense) a big Poe switch and unifi aps made a huge difference. Also wiring Ethernet everywhere helped a lot.

Previously we had devolo mesh plugs.

I have given up on sleep long ago. Why don't you just hibernate? With ssds the boot is really quick.

Edit: I got frustrated with ACPI and uefi issues on my laptops. I wish we had open source uefis for most laptops.

Matrix messaging is great but voice is still quite janky.

Yes. That is possible. However if the hardware configuration/software configuration changes the TPM should trip and prevent decryption.

The attackers would have to break you ssh/terminal/lock screen/other insecure software. However code injection should be impossible because you used custom secure boot keys and ideally a signed unified kernel image. (Can't even change kernel params without tripping TPM.)

You would not be safe if they did a bus listening attack or if your shell pwd is not safe. If that is your threat vector this may not be a good option for you.

Just want to note here:

Snapshots are NOT a backup.

While btrfs is quite stable corruption/disk failure can always happen. Bcachefs had a little opsie daisy that caused some FS level corruption. Snapshots won't help in this case.

Snapshots are great for quick restoration on user error.

So you would need buffer barrieres essentially.

Still user watches video. Ad avoidance skips forward to buffer barrier to play ad in the background. Streamed ad is thrown away and new buffer data is received. User does not notice if the video is long enough.

In this case the buffer limit is the metadata.

Rubber ducks. Would be sweet to know how many one can get for bills when needed.

I have a ~40TB HDD array and jellyfin is super fast. Just put the database and cache files on a SSD.

For bulk storage of 4k videos with high bitrates HDDs are way cheaper.

I don't want to defend current ai art but writing sentences falls under art for me even if they get adapted on their way to the final product.

Though I also think programmers, knitters... can create art.

An AI use case I think is OK and is art. Is using your own sketches and ideas and taking them to the finish by filling in the background or coloring/shading it.

Edit: On another note. Let's look at it from the perspective of an indie game developer using Godot. He programs his game logic finishes his sketches with ai. Generates materials with ai and maybe even 3d models in the future.

He won't hire artists. So they don't get paid. However he also uses insane amounts of open source libraries written by thousands of programmers. They don't get anything either. If he is kind they get attribution maybe some will even get donations. The indie dev could create something he would not have been able to create without these technologies.

A big corporation creating AAA games can also cut costs massivly. Absuing the work of artists by using their data without paying. These companies also take from open source and give nothing back.

I think the abuse of artists that is starting to happen, is very similar to the abuse open source has been suffering for a long time.

Let's say it counts. What made you STOP?

I think mixing RAM sticks is mostly fine today. Maybe you won't get 100% performance but I don't think it will be very noticeable. You may still run into issues with some capacity combinations depending on the mainboard/cpu. Regarding clock speeds usually all run on the clock of the slowest one.

Matching RAM latency also matters for performance.

When using different capacity RAM channels matter so take care on the order of population.

So in German we have these weird symbols: äßöü one of them is even in my name. In my opinion they are not necessary and cause more trouble that they are worth.

UTF 8 has alleviated some of the pain. However I still regularly find documents encoded in old character encodings and I have to manually fix all these accents.

I also have one of them in my name. In the past in school a SYS-Admin entered my name with an ö instead of the alternate form oe. All was fine. I was about 13yo, so I had no idea about backups and didn't care. I stored all my files on their NAS. One day they had drive failures and could recover all data except from students with accents in their name. I don't know what shitty software they used but I am still annoyed at this.

We also have das,dass which I always get wrong while writing texts.

There are some good things. The time forms can be pretty fun to use.

All in all German is a 6/10 for me could be better could be worse.

I definitely do. This time I will be well rested.

Maybe I should change something...

No. This time will just be different.

No then they just don't show you that they have your data...

S7 edge was the best phone I have ever had. Now it is running lineageos and ocasionally serves as a network debugging tool.

The S8 I got afterwards was horrendous from the first day I used it to it's last. I never factory reset it. I have no idea what caused the issues.

Now I have a S22 definitely my last samsung.

I have heard of it seems like a good option. If you use it please tell me if it can fullfil my requirements.

Mhh I didn't know headscale exists. Tailscale being proprietary was the main thing keeping me from using it.

No make the last beat different so you can't tell immediately.

What kind of firewall do you have that can handle that amount of bandwidth?

Usually swap can be quite a bit smaller than RAM it might still work.

Edit: You might want to check out lvm if you do repartition. Also many filesystems support swap files on them.
