How do you prove it’s not you in either case? Photoshop doesn’t make a whole video of you fucking a sheep. But AI can and is actively being used that way. With Photoshop it was a matter of getting ahold of the file and inspecting it. Even the best Photoshop jobs have some key tells. Artifacting, layering, all kinds of shading and lighting, how big the file is, etc.

Dell/HP SFF? 7th-9th gen CPUs, super cheap, quiet, should idle at 10-15W.

Only issue is 4x 3.5" drives for sure won’t fit, you need a pretty unique case to do that in mini-ITX size I think

Not sure which ones have NVMe slots, would have to research that.

sugar_in_your_tea OP ,

As long as it has the ports, I can look into options for cases. I only need 2x 3.5" drives for now, the other two are just for upgrade options (e.g. buy two bigger drives, copy from existing array to new array, remove old drives, etc).

I’ll have to check those out.

They have proprietary motherboard and psu, so I’d just look at doing a full diy build maybe.

moriquende , (edited ) to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

Some shows I really enjoyed in recent years:

  • Arcane (amazing animation, world, and story - you don’t need to know anything about the game to enjoy it)
  • Peaky Blinders (it’s finished and so good throughout)
  • Travelers (also finished, extremely underrated)
  • The Expanse (6 seasons of some of the best sci-fi ever)
  • Stranger Things (ongoing but highly recommend)
  • Beef (limited series so finished, so good)
  • The Bear (very good, raw characters and emotions)
  • Ted Lasso (no need to care for football, just extremely lovable characters and heartwarming story)
  • Breaking Bad (if you haven’t watched this, it’s a must - best TV imo)
  • The Last of Us (no need to know the game)
  • Andor (best star wars since the original trilogy, mature, dark, and suspenseful)

They’re in no particular order, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, but I definitely think all of the above are must watch.

Travelers, The Expanse (noted by OP), Beef, and Breaking Bad are all solid. Add Mare of Easttown, the Morning Show, and the Newsroom and you’ve got half of my favourite shows of the past 15 years.

Ted Lasso was the big surprise to me here. The characters are lovable, caring, and well-crafted, and the story is simple but compelling. In all, only the most heartless, isolate, human beings would get nothing from this show.

ours ,

“Very good” is an understatement for The Bear.

And recent seasons just keep stacking up the talent.

showmeyourkizinti ,

Travelers is such an underrated show! Really good premise, tight well thought out time travel, solid storytelling and some great performances by lesser known actors. I really want to second its recommendations. Honestly it’s not top tier prestige TV but damn it’s good.

kitnaht , to selfhosted in Which is better for my network, an extender or another router?

Is the router flashable with OpenWRT? :D

jkjk – most modern routers can be turned into just flat access points, ganged with another router.

The router is going to give you more control.

@Tak@lemmy.ml avatar

Honestly it’s always so weird to hear complaints of bias. The languages you speak, cultures you engage with, class you were born into, and so many other factors will give you a natural bias that you can’t avoid. I am naturally biased to find eating bugs, repulsive but the massive water bugs (lobsters) are classy.

There is no such thing as unbiased and the closest we get is though science.

Yeah but in this context it’s a dogwhistle for ‘not right wing’

possiblylinux127 , to selfhosted in Which is better for my network, an extender or another router?

You could break the network into parts. Start with a upstream router and then get a switch and some access points.

You will have a much better time

helenslunch , to selfhosted in YUNOhost
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

It’s the best self-hosting software I’ve used. But it lacks mountains of documentation, configuration, file manager, terminal, and no way to create containers WITHOUT exposing them to the web.

Also some of their software becomes badly dated (like Lemmy).

But for the most part it’s super easy deployment for stuff you want exposed.

Kongar , to piracy in How to rip copy-protected DVDs on Linux in 2024

I use makemkv. Works every time. Once in a while you have to open the disk “manually” and select the right track but ya, makemkv does it all.

Free if you want to update the beta trial key every few months. After years of use I bought a lifetime license for like $20. Probably the best value I’ve ever gotten.

NoneYa ,

I just tried using this last night for the first time on some indie movie from the early 2000’s. Surely no type of hard DRM to crack.

But when I finished, the movie was very pixelated.

I converted DVD to ISO file and then the app converted the ISO to mkv file all using default settings. Is that okay or should I have changed some of the settings?

nullishcat ,
@nullishcat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

DVD -> ISO -> MKV should be fine, what happens when you play the iso directly in VLC?

NoneYa ,

Thanks for the reply!

Strangely enough, ISO is fine. Same with the generated mkv file. It seems the issue was when I uploaded to Plex. I didn’t think to check the file that was created, now this is making me wonder where I went wrong.

nullishcat , (edited )
@nullishcat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ah, it’s probably Plex not supporting the video’s codec. When you use MakeMKV to generate a video file, it’s basically just grabbing the source file directly from the disc / iso. It’s fine in modern players but for maximum compatibility you’ll have to remux it.

EDIT: Forgot DVDs use a different folder structure than BDs so that guide won’t work, you can use this one from thewiki.moe instead (although it’s very technical, and the wiki is moreso focused on anime.) You can maybe try using ffmpeg to convert to an mp4, that might just make it work on Plex.

Petter1 ,

Where is HEVC crew? 😂

ryan_harg OP ,
@ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Strangely, playing was working fine. Just when I try to convert it has sync issues… I’m probably just too simpleminded to make it work that way, but VLC doesn’t make it easy to do it right either, I guess…

There’s a native Linux version! No need for wine :)

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

True, but you need to build that yourself, and as I am but a smol helpless Linux newblet, I do not have the knowledge to do that.

Pretty sure there is an unofficial flatpak for makemkv

Oh great! I came accross MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent version. Didn’t think of Flathub…

Right! I use the flatpak myself - works great.

threelonmusketeers ,

Thank you for your enthusiasm!

Remember to take care of yourself too. You’ve been posting a lot recently, and I wouldn’t want you to burn out or get discouraged.

Lemmy won’t usurp Reddit overnight (or maybe ever, but who knows?). Slow, steady growth is best for the Fediverse. Thanks again for pitching in!

Don_Dickle OP ,

I am at small town hospital and this is pretty much a hobby besides reading wikipedia.

If you are recovering, hope you’ll get well soon!

Don_Dickle OP ,

Lol I thank you for the thought but I am a traveling nurses so currently is stationed here…not to be a capitalist but I guess I am but I go where the money pays me the best.

someguy3 , to nostupidquestions in I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter.

AI is much better. Photoshop was always a little off with size, angle, lighting, etc. Very easy to spot fakes.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Not that I watch the morons but how come it seems that the Kardashians are so fond of it?

someguy3 ,

I know nothing about the Kardashians.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Neither do I just that I see headlines of like photoshop fails when the publish pictures and it is really obvious.

As a long time balding man, shave it all off with clippers, then go at it with a razor ever few days. Never look back. It’s a good look. I love it.

Plus my scalp looks like a chopping block with the number of times I’ve busted my head on something and I think the scars look sort of cool. 😎
