Omega_Jimes,

There aren’t enough hours of sleep for me to go to uni for 8 hours, then go to work for 8 hours and not feel like a mess.

Omega_Jimes,

Lower Decks is amazing, and Strange New Worlds is also amazing. They did a crossover episode that was amazing.

I refuse to pay for Paramount on a consistent basis, and it’s frustrating canceling and resubscribing anytime a new show comes out.

Atheists of lemmy, what is your coping strategy when things goes downhill?

I am at an accepting stage that not everything that happens in your life is in your control. When things goes really bad and you dont have much control on it, I would assume a person who believes in god or religious figures has their belief system as a coping mechanism. For example praying to the god and so on....

Omega_Jimes,

Epictitus suggested that the world consists of two things, those you can assert control over and those you cannot. In order to lead a good life, you shouldn’t spend energy on the things you have no control over. I’ve had a couple real bad stretches, but when things turn pear shaped, I take account of the things I have control over and what I don’t.

Omega_Jimes,

I forget what I use. I set Radarr/Sonarr and now it just happens.

Omega_Jimes,

It actually happened to me many moons ago. The Canadian ISP in question sent me an email saying that torrenting was “of disputed legality”(or something) and that someone in my house had torrented Ubuntu! I wish I still had the email but this was mid/late 2000’s.

Omega_Jimes,

Yeah but they only stopped making them less than two decades ago!

Omega_Jimes,

Let’s redirect an ice comet into the ocean! Kind of like that movie Armageddon but in reverse! I’ll take my Nobel prize now.

Omega_Jimes,

Won’t that affect rotation of the lunar wainwright?

Omega_Jimes,

Oh man he looks weird. He said the prognosis is good, I really wish him the best!

Omega_Jimes,

My cat does this, and it’s a trap unless it’s footpets.

I don’t know why, but she’ll swipe and cry if she doesn’t get her footpets.

Omega_Jimes,

Sorry, pet by my foot. I run my foot along her belly and she melts.

The smell might be having an affect here as well haha.

Omega_Jimes,

The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.

Omega_Jimes,

I agree, there’s been an apology and a resignation, so it’s done. This kind of mistake could happen to anyone, and the people spending their days in comment sections must have led really charmed lives to never have a friend or relationship that turned out bad.

Omega_Jimes,

Since I’ve moved from a coast to a more inland city, a lot less. It sounds gross, but I’m down to once every other day. I don’t sweat as much, my clothes don’t stink as much, and I don’t feel as ‘swampy’ as I used to. Also if I shower everyday here my skin goes bananas dry.

Omega_Jimes,

Those are all solid options, so you might be tempted to use them. I keep a windows partition on case I need it for something, but I’m never tempted to use it unless I absolutely have to.

Omega_Jimes,

Are you using the iGPU? Like, can you get away with disabling it in BIOS?

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....

Omega_Jimes,

I want jellyfin, but the number of devices I’d have to manually setup around my house, tvs etc, is daunting and terrifying.

Omega_Jimes,

There are a great many devices in my house, and everytime I change things like this I basically have to hold a workshop on using the TV. It’s frustrating because it’s not like I live in an old folks home, just young people who don’t want to deal with tech, and expect everything to always “just work”.

Omega_Jimes,

Nobody gets asked to leave a theatre unless people complain. She was bothering people so they had the theatre remove her and her date.

Omega_Jimes,

Oh man, now we need to get signs that say “Kissin’ Cousins Convoy!”.

Omega_Jimes,

“You know what ol’ Jack Burton says at a time like this?” “Who?!?” “Jack Burton!.. … … Me!”

Omega_Jimes,

I’m not going to say “We should all listen to Mulclair.” But maybe this once. The fact is PP doesn’t have any real expertise, except minister positions. How can you trust the country to someone who’s never held a real job?

Omega_Jimes,

I had no idea the guy who played Thurston Howell III on Gilligan’s Island was still around before I played this.

Omega_Jimes,

I use KeePass and keep it synced with self hosting Nextcloud. I get the appeal of bitwarden, but I’m really trying to get off other people’s computers.

Omega_Jimes,

Fixed an exploit where petroleum products were combustable for net energy gain.

Omega_Jimes,

There is a wierd amount of generative-learning articles on game/tech Lemmy. I keep seeing these articles from publications that I’ve never heard of and I get excited because “Oo new people in the space” then halfway through the article I feel duped.

Omega_Jimes,

Okay is gamescensor written by actual people, or just some generative learning SEO site? Because wow this is a mess of an article.

The mod replaces the FSR2 upscaling technology included in the game (which is made for AMD graphics cards)

FSR2 works on every major graphics card

a more modern upscaler that is compatible with more recent Nvidia cards.

Wat?

PureDark, who claimed to make more than $40,000

Nope some one else extrapolated that data from a patreon page.

It may be because AMD is “Starfield’s exclusive PC partner” and only supports FSR2 technology at launch that the game only does so.

Wat again?!?

Omega_Jimes,

40 hours later of couch co-op with my inexperienced partner who chose Wizard for some reason, and their character is finally useful in battle near the end of act 2.

I try not to control them, I just say what I’m doing and planning so they don’t launch my team off a cliff. Occasionally I’ll say “Yes, counterspell cloudkill please.” but I’m mostly hands off. When asked for advice I give it, I’m not a monster, I just think if we’re playing together we should both get to play.

I haven’t played any DnD since 3rd, and my partner loves these role playing shows like Critical Role or whatever. My biggest takeaway I’ve had from our sessions is that those shows most not have any mechanics whatsoever.

Omega_Jimes,

I had a similar situation with my ryzen 1600 motherboard, except it was the sound card. Everytime windows updated it would dump the driver I installed and try another one that was broken. I had to keep my sound drivers on the desktop so I could reinstall them. This occurred even after I reinstalled windows 10 on a different ssd.

Omega_Jimes,

I made the switch last month from Brave for years, back to firefox. Brave is easy more effective at blocking tablets and ads, even with ublock/adblock. You can install it and just start using a cleaner web, and it’s really easy to customize gow much of an effect the sanitization is. I defended a lot of what Brave did in the early days, because what I was hearing from developers is that they were trying to monetize it in anyway possible that maintained the privacy of the user, and I understand that ethos.

It’s the years and years of missteps that finally got to me. I started to feel like I had to keep up on what they were doing to make sure nothing slipped through, and that’s not trust.

I still think they have the best ad blocking tech, it beats my pihole, it beats Firefox with extensions. It’s fast, and it displays websites reliably.

But, we do need to consider the roads we pave and the tools we use. Brenden Eich has not apologized for his donation, but at the time he did write a blog post about supporting LGBT initiatives at Mozilla and he had support from people that he worked with. He resigned because at the time there was nothing you could do to assuage an internet hate mob but resign. There is information around stating that three board members left because of his appointment, but only one actually said that,

Omega_Jimes,

They don’t give organs to alcoholics who don’t stop drinking either.

Good luck getting a heart of you refuse to quit eating a hamburger an hour.

Look, you have to pass a baseline level of taking care of yourself to qualify for an organ, and vaccinations are the bottom, base level first line of defense.

My mother-in-law lives with us and has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. We've been dealing with it for about a year but things are progressively getting worse. What are options for care?

She gets social security, and we don’t have a lot of money ourselves and are no longer able to be with her 24/7. We are in Maryland, and are scared of what we can do. Will her medicare do anything? Is it too late for something like long term care insurance? We have no idea where to start....

Omega_Jimes,

I know here in Canada there are social workers you can reach out to find resources, that may be an option for you. Find a local office and explain the situation to them, there might be programs you can take advantage of.

B.C. urges co-operation in Shuswap as fire crews say they are facing 'threats and abuse' from defiant locals (bc.ctvnews.ca)

Thousands were ordered to flee, but some locals who refused to leave have taken the fight into their own hands, accusing the province of failing to provide enough resources and effectively abandoning them to protect their homes....

Omega_Jimes,

Man, I don’t envy the people in charge that have to put up with this nonsense.

Okay Mr.Mullet, you think you guys can do this, it’s all yours. Take the trained forces somewhere that wants help. Except I know when the town burns down all we’ll hear is “They abandoned us!”. I understand that no one wants to feel helpless, but you should know that sometimes you have to step aside and let someone who’s job it is, do their job.

Omega_Jimes,

There’s an old adage for cars that I think applies to home servers.

Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two

In my experience, SBCs take a whole lot more tinkering than I like to do. I bought a cheap matx motherboard and a second hand ryzen 2400g which has served me well. Inside a second hand htpc chassis with an ssd for the os and a couple hdds for storage. It even has a 5.25" bay I can install a drive for ripping. I’d rubbing OpenMediaVault with Docker for Sonarr/Radarr/Overseerr/Nextcloud etc.

It’s probably not the cheapest to run, but it was cheap to buy and it’s very reliable because it’s based on x86 so the support will probably outlast me.

Omega_Jimes,

The Pop_Shop gives you the option via a little drop down of flatpak/Deb. I’m not sure if the option is flagged by application developers or system76.

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve had to start trimming things, but I can’t get rid of hard-to-finds. It’s mostly new shows, I’ll only keep recent seasons.

I can’t lose shows like Captain Star or Duckman, but I probably don’t need every season of Westworld.

Omega_Jimes,

I was but after two reimages I’m not even sure which torrents they were.

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve been playing ESO through Lutris for a few years. It works great!

Omega_Jimes,

It’s actually harder to fully debloat than you might think. The truth is that stuff is there, it’s just hiding where you don’t go. Windows also reinstalls a lot of things during updates, including games and apps that you may not use.

I guess the question is, if it’s not actively bothering you, is it really a problem?

Omega_Jimes,

“There are 14 competing standards!”

“We should make a new one that has all the benefits of the others, and everyone can use that.”

“There are now 15 competing standards!”

Rinse and repeat.

Omega_Jimes,

I use a 2020 hp envy 360 with a ryzen 4700u. I can get away all day typing or websurfing indoors. I can also drain the battery in two hours by playing games.

One of the things I like, is how easy it is to govern the cpu. If I know I’m away from a wall for a bit I can govern the cpu to 1.4ghz and it’ll last a long time. I haven’t actually done any testing to see how long.

Omega_Jimes,

Blizzard has been on a downward trend for a lot longer than 3 years.

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve never had a good experience with an arch based distro. I understand that’s kind of the goal, and it’s great if you want to use your computer to set up arch, but I want to use my computer for other things.

Endeavor, Arch, Manjaro et al.

Your thoughts on The Orville? (lemmy.world)

When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by...

Omega_Jimes,

This was basically the way I would describe the show.

Omega_Jimes,

If your local library has online resources, then you might have access to LinkedIn Learning. There are a ton of resources there.

Omega_Jimes,

Many libraries have a host of free online services. PressReader can be used to read magazines or newspapers, Libbey can be used to download/read books including textbooks and sometimes Comptia study books.

They aren’t just places you go to revel in the deaths of millions of trees anymore. But it really depends on where you live, so ymmv.

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve never used OS2, but I’m pretty experienced with OS2/Warp!

Omega_Jimes,

Another 7000 series that’s only going to show up in like one laptop? I swear all I see is the 7730 everywhere.
