I have only a PCIe 2.0 x4 and a PCIe 3.0 x16 free and I need to install a 10Gbps SFP+ card and a graphic card for transcoding with Jellyfin (the CPU is an old E5-2620 v2). Since I can’t find any SFP+ card that is x4, do you know a graphic card with decent transcoding capabilities (I’d day 2 4K simultaneously) that is only...

Note for Americans: here WhatsApp is the de facto communication standard. Literally nobody uses SMS/iMessage/Facebook messenger/signal. And carriers still charge 2 euro for a MMS which completely kills iMessage/RCS (if accidentally send MMS, it’s expensive)...

What is exactly Google Play System Update buried deep in the settings that can be manually updated and usually has a date of say, eg, May 1. Is it part of Project Treble from Google to decouple parts of OS from full system upgrades and make more Modular updates possible?

I’m 20, I practice fencing. My height is 192 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?

Title essentially. I used to flash way back in the day, my HTC thunderbolt older phones were flashed so many times. However now, it seems even more difficult....

Good day self-hosters! I’m not exactly sure what to call what I’m looking for besides a “clipboard”. Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is....

The title refers to points of gravitational equilibrium in space between two gravitationally massive objects, named Lagrange points after Italian scientist Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813). Five Lagrange points can be defined for two bodies. Lagrange points are well known in science fiction as locations where orbital colonies...

I’ll start: a naked guy complaining to his host that there’s less light than advertised.

I’m currently following Linux & Open Source News from The Linux Experiment, and I know others like Destination Linux that I don’t like it at all, can someone suggest me some good podcasts? It fine to me if they just talk technical things or curious things, but I want to learn more things about Linux.

Something to do with her “Walk the Dog” letter?

I mean, the title really says it all. It occurs seemingly at random, but not all the time and I’ve been unable to determine any pattern to it… I’m using the latest proton stable version and pipewire-pulse for audio. Any ideas on how to fix it?

With Suno AI making some passable music, is it welcome here?

Hi all! A group of researchers from two major U.S. universities is seeking to understand how people act on Darknet forums and markets. We would very much appreciate your responses. Our anonymous survey can be found here: blocksurvey.io/darknet-decision-making-survey-Cqo… (supports Tor) or here...

For starters, I used to live in a third-world country and have been pirating since about 8 thanks to my older bro, and to my knowledge, I never got a virus thanks to good practices and habits like vpn+ and staying only with a trusted tracker (and obviously some luck too). But I stopped when I grew older and made money. Except...

I wish to solve CAPTCHA with bicycles, motorcycles etc. in a manner consistent with chaotic good alignment, benevolence, humanitarianism, etc. Shall I select squares that include riders/passengers but not also their conveyance? Was reminded of my uncertainty about this when reading this recent post by @Wilshire to the Technology...

SOTTR can now run in proton-experimental (it used to crash due to a missing vulkan feature), but how does it compare to the native version?...

I have to write a paper about a place/time that I have an emotional attachment to or a place that has shaped my sense of self. I haven’t really felt much of an attachment to anything for most of my life. Even if I did, I wouldn’t even know how to begin describing the nature or cause of that attachment. I chose to write about...

You can come up with the details on the kind of collapse....
