EtnaAtsume , to books in Highly rated book you DNF

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has never finished Good Omens. I’ve picked it up several times. What I’ve read of it, I enjoyed. But I never felt compelled to finish it. Put differently, I guess it’s just not engaging…?

SWAT 4 is still an excellent tactical shooter the likes of which we don't see anymore, short of Ready or Not, or Doorkickers, if you count that.

alehel ,

I really miss this genre. Makes me sad to see what Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six have turned into. Back when I was playing Rogue Spear, I never thought I’d ever see team Rainbow fight aliens!

Was really pleased to discover that the original Ghost Recon on GoG runs really well. Was also able to get their copy of the original Rainbow Six to work after a bit of tinkering.

RustedSwitch , to askscience in Ongoing and curated list of good streaming science videos?
@RustedSwitch@lemmy.world avatar

I am not aware of any community where you could have these sorts of discussions. But, while I cant vouch for its quality, your question reminded me of a service I read about called Curiosity Stream. Maybe check them out.

FearTheCron OP ,

I tried curiosity stream for a while and it was decent. I think my major complaint was that it didn’t do the technical deep dives as well. PBS space time does a great job of that. I didn’t feel like I fully understood entropy until their videos.

I have also seen ads for Magellan tv which also calls itself a streaming platform for documentaries. I know very little about it beyond the ads though.

twistedtxb , to piracy in Clipgrab w/YouTube: How bad is the audio quality?
@twistedtxb@lemmy.ca avatar

Please somebody correct me if I’m wrong:

Separate audio is rarely available on streaming sites like YouTube, so if you’re ripping a song from it, you essentially are transcoding the files three times:

  • Encoding by the content creator
  • Extracting the audio from the the content
  • Encoding in the format of choice

So no matter how great the quality is at either of these transcoding ends, you are still transcoding in lossy format at least two times

yt-dlp can just download the audio. It usually comes down in m4a at quality that I would describe as “very listenable”. So only the first of those three steps are mandatory if you do it that way.

Hmm, idk the communities I follow are pretty “normal” though and don’t really fit in any of these categories…

Define “older” hahah

“~30”.

How dare you, OP. Not even middle aged.

Someone made a poll about this on mastodon recently.

i_lost_my_bagel , to selfhosted in What file system do you use and why?
@i_lost_my_bagel@seriously.iamincredibly.gay avatar

ZFS on server. Btrfs on laptop.

d4nm3d , to selfhosted in Should I use one docker-compose.yml for all my services?

i go so far the other way with this personally… I actually have a seperate LXC for each docker container and a lot of the time i use docker run instead of docker-compose…

I’ve still not had anyone explain to me why compose is better than a single command line…

Awwab ,
@Awwab@kbin.social avatar

I always thought the compose file is great for maintenance. You can always save the docker run commands elsewhere so at the end of the day it's more of an orchestration choice.

AFKBRBChocolate , to nostupidquestions in Is there a community to ask for community suggestions?

Lemmy Explorer is pretty good

aucubin , (edited ) to selfhosted in If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

Getting a better rack. My 60cm deep rack with a bunch of rack shelves and no cable management is not very pretty and moving servers around is pretty hard.

Hardwarewise I’m mostly fine with it, although I would use a platform with IPMI instead of AM4 for my hypervisor.

Stijn , to selfhosted in federation test
@Stijn@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz avatar

How did you do it. I can't find other instances (almost none) on my instance.

danQuix0te OP ,

A new instance doesn’t federate on its own. It needs to discover the other servers. Use something like lemmyverse.net to make links with your home server and visit the other instances. Subscribe to a few and you’ll start getting those posts.

Stijn ,
@Stijn@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz avatar

I have allot of them now. But i cant find anything…

danQuix0te OP ,

Do you see your instance on lemmy.world/instances or other servers /instances? That’s typically a good sign that your server is federated.

valen , to startrek in What is everyone's favorite era of starship design?
@valen@beehaw.org avatar

For ST, the Voyager looked good, but I didn’t like the moving nacelles. The updated Enterprise from the first movie was my favorite iteration of the Big-E.

But, my favorite ship is the Omega class destroyer from Babylon 5. (sue me)

Please forward your address so we know where to send the process servers.
