OneCardboardBox , to linux in Migrating system to NVME RAID

Not sure what motherboard you have: Most consumer boards only support “FakeRAID”, which requires a kernel driver to actually function. Good luck finding a vendor who wrote a driver for Linux.

I’d definitely recommend software RAID instead, as you’ll have better support. I like btrfs, so I’d recommend you set up your new drives to use a btrfs RAID configuration. mdadm is another option, if you really like ext4.

@Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

My ip is banned for some reason, so I just use my vpn whenever I wanna read something there

Hickak OP ,

Can you ask questions normally even using a VPN? Could you tell me which VPN you use?

thermal_shock ,

I’ve used Torguard for almost a decade with great results.

@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Foundation is a surprisingly competent sci-fi show in the second season, but you need to watch the first.

Also of interest: Severance, Person of Interest, The Peripheral, The Returned (French TV show), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Invincible, Ozark, The Leftovers, Twin Peaks

Yes, I was shadow banned. Zero communication from the standard ways of reporting it. Good riddance. The place is a cesspool.

Strider , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

Just to give you a little something:

My glasses cost around 500€ to 700€ per glass (so around 1200€ plus frame) and I have to pay them myself.

neidu2 , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

Some youtuber who first gained fame counting to a million. Then he pivoted to posting videos of him doing large amounts of altruistic acts such as paying for people’s surgeries et al.

Beyond that I don’t know.

ShareMySims ,

Altruistic implies he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart and got nothing out of it, when in reality he was making poverty porn for profit and to further his own career.

magic_lobster_party ,

He’s also probably doing “altruistic acts” to defend himself against criticism.

qaz ,

Ehh, it’s better than “the person who can stay in the circle the longest wins 1 million”

ShareMySims ,

How? How is directly and unashamedly exploiting poor people for views and profit (while promoting yourself as “self made” no less) better than whatever it is you’re referencing (presumably just another version of poor people being exploited for views and profit)??

Why do you feel the need to defend the indefensible?

Feathercrown ,

Why do you feel the need to make it so black and white? Clearly, helping people is a good thing, even if done with another motive in mind. To ignore this and say it’s all bad is simply dishonest.

ShareMySims ,

When the “other motives” are literal propaganda that helps maintain inequality at the expense of the people it exploits under the pretence of “help”, it is black and white to anyone who isn’t too busy licking boot.

This is less intrusive than current web ads. The entire center of the screen is ad-free, no pop-ups, no banners that grey out the rest of the screen, no paywall…

@KingThrillgore @asklemmy YouTuber who make money off of throwing money at people to do ridiculous things.
I do not like his content cause it feels like a billionaire playing with the little people for his amusement.

I tried bifocals, and they are just not for me. I work on a computer all day, and having to jog my head around in order to have appropriate focus sucks.

So ... when I go to get an eye exam, I have them give me two prescriptions. One for distance (driving, movies, whatever), and another for about six inches past arm's length - how far away my main monitor is. Then I get two pair of glasses online for ~$40 each, and a pair of distance sunglasses for $50.

I like the distance sunglasses better than transitions lenses, because they're darker than the transitions would ever get. Adding other fancy coatings will certainly increase the price of the lenses, but I think I only did scratch resistant on my regular distance pair, since I'm not doing somersaults while on the computer.

@DevCat@lemmy.world avatar

This is what I did through Zenni as well. Only, I intend to get a third pair of glasses. The distance at which you read a computer screen compared to a physical book is very different.

ZarkleFarkle , to asklemmy in TV nerds: what should I watch

Red Dwarf. Also that recent Netflix show where they explain trying to solve a complicated maths problem to help aliens, but I forget what it’s called now. The one where alien eyes appear in the sky.

And also a weird Youtube video that’s quite well-known, along with its sequel. They’re called The Hole and The Orb.

The Hole is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAIbvlobWDM

riquisimo , to linux in PoP!_OS update failure

Idk, but this last nvidia update broke things for me. Changing my display with ARandR wouldn’t work, I’d get a black screen with a mouse cursor and it would never recover, and the display driver would crash when waking the computer from sleep. I ended up reverting to the 470 drivers and that fixed it for me.

rambos OP ,

When you say last nvidia update, when was that? I had some updates few days ago and everything went smooth, but today things went south. Is there any way I can confirm Im having gpu driver issue or kernel issue or both?
