Synthead,

You’re on someone else’s server, after all.

Saying you don’t need privacy because you have nothing to hide is the same as saying you don’t need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say

Flowery!

Or Ted. You can call the dish Ted, if you want.

Synthead,

Came here to say this. fwupd is so good, it’s almost magic, and good vendors will actually support it themselves.

You shouldn’t remember your passwords, if you know what I mean

Synthead,

The more I use it, the less I like it. For some reason, it feels like a majority of the people here are already angry and argumentative, and they are happy to snap and make me their current problem.

The hive mind aspect is also ~5x worse than Reddit. People love to cover their ears here, even in constructive conversations. It’s a real shame.

Synthead,

Huh, this is a great point. I haven’t thought about that.

Synthead,

Thank you for sharing your point of view, and I and support your decision. From my life experiences with other people and giving kindness and empathy years of thought on this subject, I have a slightly different point of view. I really appreciate how we can discuss this and grow as people.

Lemmy: OPINION DIFFERENT! 💥⬇️💥

Synthead,

If Trump and Biden are the leading candidates, and you vote third-party, then not only will your vote not contribute to a candidate winning, but you’re helping the opposing party win.

Synthead,

I own the LCD deck and goofed off with the OLED deck. The screen is perfect, just like I imagined. But the thing that caught me off guard was how much lighter it feels. They say it’s 30% or something lighter, but because of the way that you typically hold it, it feels half the weight. The joysticks also have a deep recess on the inside, which makes your thumbs slip a lot less.

Overall, I would say that if you currently have a Deck and play it every day, if you can sell your old one for a reasonable price, the cost is probably worth it. If you’re a casual gamer and you only play every so often, the upgrades on the new Deck are great to have but probably not worth the cost. As a new purchase, OLED without question.

Synthead,

How so?

Synthead,

I have never heard of a router phoning home to report traffic.

Synthead,

I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.

This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.

Synthead,

Not only am I vegetarian, but I’m queer, too. That place is great at destroying families. I wouldn’t eat there even if I loved eating chicken.

Synthead,

You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.

Well that’s a wild assumption.

Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.

I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.

Synthead,

I’d wash sealed containers first, then go for it.

Synthead,

The soot from a building fire will absolutely give you cancer. Most deaths from a building fire are caused by the contaminants in the air and not the fire itself. It’s very nasty, and I wouldn’t shrug it off. At the very least, it will taste nasty. At most, it will give you health complications.

How to solve this boot error message? (lemmy.world)

I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...

Synthead,

I wouldn’t be quick to assume that this means a failing disk. There would probably be more sporadic issues if this were the case.

Synthead,

Heads up that there are ways to look up locations for access point ESSIDs. You can basically narrow it down to an address. If you share a neighbor’s ESSID also, it greatly helps ensure that they have the right address.

Synthead,

Synthead,

What do you mean by “has a great runtime?”

Synthead,

Oh you mean battery life?

Synthead,

I’d ask Valve.

Synthead,

I almost missed it, but found it thanks to the arrow

Synthead,

Or any OS that uses UEFI. Or UEFI without an OS. So basically UEFI and not Windows or Linux at all.

[Solved] BSOD on Windows VM after update

Hello everyone! I hope to be posting in the correct place, if not please tell me and I’ll delete this. I have a W11 VM on my EndeavourOS KDE laptop that I use because of some software I need for university that does not run under wine (LabVIEW and Keil uVision). The VM is running on virt-manager (QEMU KVM) using the virtio...

Synthead,

My least favorite thing about Windows, above all things, is that it’s extremely difficult to discover what’s wrong with it. People just try random things until it works in most cases.

Synthead,

Why search for error codes when your operating system has every opportunity to tell you what’s wrong?

Synthead,

I always imagined it as a spinoff inspired by these

Synthead,

Not to throw a bias, but here’s where the results are at so far, as indicated with this pie chart:

Hahahaha, you’re awesome

Thanks for reducing the click bait.

I think Docker is a tool, and it depends on how you implement said tool. You can use Docker in ways that make your infra more complicated, less efficient, and more bloated with little benefit, if not a loss of benefits. You can also use it in a way that promotes high uptime, fail-overs, responsible upgrades, etc. Just “Docker” as-is does not solve problems or introduce problems. It’s how you use it.

Lots of people see Docker as the “just buy a Mac” of infra. It doesn’t make all your issues magically go away. Me, personally, I have a good understanding of what my OS is doing, and what software generally needs to run well. So for personal stuff where downtime for upgrades means that I, myself, can’t use a service while it’s upgrading, I don’t see much benefit for Docker. I’m happy to solve problems if I run into them, also.

However, in high-uptime environments, I would probably set up a k8s environment with heavy use of Docker. I’d implement integration tests with new images and ensure that regressions aren’t being introduced as things go out with a CI/CD pipeline. I’d leverage k8s to do A-B upgrades for zero downtime deploys, and depending on my needs, I might use an elastic stack.

So personally, my use of Docker would be for responsible shipping and deploys. Docker or not, I still have an underlying Linux OS to solve problems for; they’re just housed inside a container. It could be argued that you could use a first-party upstream Docker image for less friction, but in my experience, I eventually want to tweak things, and I would rather roll my own images.

For SoC boards, resources are already at a premium, so I prefer to run on metal for most of my personal services. I understand that we have very large SoC boards that we can use now, but I still like to take a simpler, minimalist approach with little bloat. Plus, it’s easier to keep track of things with systemd services and logs anyway, since it uniformly works the way it should.

Just my $0.02. I know plenty of folks would think differently, and I encourage that. Just do what gives you the most success in the end 👍

Synthead,

To those that didn’t read this as dark humor: coolant tastes sweet, and it’s poisonous. Your animals will want to drink it, and it will kill them.

Synthead,

Why not find a partner that enjoys what you like, or likes that you enjoy those things? Anything else would be working uphill, imo.

Synthead,

Make sure to keep the clock speed at the original frequency as instructed in the datasheet

Synthead,

Always, always, always, without taking any shortcuts, use a tzinfo library for your language.

Synthead,

NEVER CLICK THESE ↪️

Synthead,

ECM Synchronika here! We’re cousins 😄 Absolutely excellent machine!

How do you like your ECM grinder?

Synthead,

That’s great to hear! I hope you love your new machine! Enjoy!

Synthead,

More like, try to get you to pay money and pretend that you don’t own your client side software.

Synthead,

You can tell it’s a soft G from the way it is! How neat is that?

short question by an aspiring user

Hello, apparently hanging out in Lemmy inadvertently makes you thinking about using Linux. I am planning to install Linux Mint cinnamon on an older laptop, which I want to bring to LAN Parties. From what I read I can just format my C:\ windows disk, install Linux via bootable drive and from what I understand, proton is basically...

Synthead,

Yup! Install Steam (with your package manager!) and play. Nothing to it.

Enjoy!

Synthead,

There is a GUI, but I prefer the terminal:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install steam
</span>

“Update” fetches the latest package information, and “install steam” does exactly what you think it does :)

Synthead,

Some of these tips are dangerous. You generally don’t want cause insensitivity in your shell. Also, ls should never be used as a subshell to find files as a part of commands.

Synthead,

This is the correct answer.

Synthead,

You mean the defaults that were against anti trust laws?
