conciselyverbose , to selfhosted in Good laptop to use as Owncast server?

Is he planning to also use the laptop as a laptop?

If not, there are small form factor PCs (especially if you’re willing to buy used business stuff) that don’t take up a lot of space that can be good options. Laptops have some features that are kind of nice on a server as well (the battery becomes a backup against power outages and you don’t need to remote access or plug stuff in to use it because it has a built in display and keyboard), but I don’t think they’re so nice that it’s usually worth buying a laptop just for that purpose. It’s more a reason that repurposing an old one makes sense. If you’re willing to pay the premium a new laptop adds, you can get some pretty low profile units.

My first reading was greenhouses and I was thinking thise tend to have a ton of fancy details when build for the wealthy.

Then I realized you meant the giant mirror towers.

I was thinking of office buildings where all of the interior walls are glass

Don_Dickle , to nostupidquestions in Why are stories that take place in another world where everyone is white and Asian are normal, but it's "woke" if they are all black?

I used to read a lot of books. And while not coming straight out and say this person is white or whatever I got that the characters where just like me and I think that is what all authors want without saying it straight out. The purpose of a book or story is to let the reader decide. Woke just reminds me of the new Jim Crow laws cry.

Mrkawfee , to nostupidquestions in I am not promoting death or killing but are there countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?

You can join the IDF and kill Gazans for sport evidently.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Ok again not promoting death. I just don’t get why we had a huge war against them and it seems like they are cropping back up in all aspects of society. When I learned about Africa killing poachers I was at first like WTF then thought they probably been having a war on them for a while. I am not justfying killing innocent civis but if I see a Nazi or the kkk beating the shit out of a race they do not like am I ok just to shoot them on sight even if I am not in danger and protecting the victim?

howrar ,

This scenario is very different from what I understood from your OP. I’m pretty sure that in the majority of the world, this would be legal. It’s what we call justifiable homicide.

JASN_DE , to selfhosted in Good laptop to use as Owncast server?

Ideally he’s needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot.

What’s the plan here, using the laptop for gaming and streaming, or only using the laptop as the streaming machine?

Buddy, if they won’t talk to you after you mentioned your toxic tulips, fear is not the reason.

just_another_person , (edited ) to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

There’s a litany of them, but the issue is more about what apps will connect to them reliably. The support on apps is really what you’re looking for, as a single app can support multiple streaming targets.

Since you’re talking about some pretty widely adopted apps, maybe look at an Airplay alternative as well, since there’s also a ton of those, and a lot of them are actively developed.

UnH1ng3d ,

Can you give some examples 😅

just_another_person ,

Well, I don’t understand your technical wants or needs, but you can Google or hit GitHub and find dozens pretty easily. Look into what Home Assistant is using these days as an easy starter list maybe. Also worth using Raspberry Pi as an included search term to find projects specifically geared for turning an RPi into a Chromecast or Airplay target.

Israel will always need Americans to die for their country

HK65 ,

My dude, look at the map, look at where Afghanistan is, then where Israel is. Then turn off your monitor and look deep into your own eyes and think.

Mrkawfee , (edited )

Netanyahu was shilling for the invasion of Iraq to Congress in 2002. He was quite happy to send Americans to die to rid Israel of one of its nemeses. Saddam Hussein, as a Baathist (a pan-Arab nationalism) was a supporter of Palestinian liberation and had fired scud missiles at Israel during the first Gulf War.

Netanyahu’s ultimate goal, however, is for the US to take out Iran.

Rhynoplaz , to mildlyinfuriating in I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me?

It’s common for people to get these when their email address is similar to my dad’s and he forgets his password again.

@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Part of my concern is the email has part of an uncommon spelling of name + some numbers. And that it started all of a sudden, every day. The email is several years old and only now it’s begun happening every day.

Create an email alias and use it as the account address.

FYI, the emails the OP are getting are the 2FA Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP). So OP in fact does have 2FA enabled. 😊

Ps. I’m not being sarcastic.

Never mind. I misunderstood what the email was being sent for. My apologies.

I’ve seen Breaking Bad mentioned. If you enjoy that, check out Your Honor. It’s another drama series starring Bryan Cranston.

EABOD25 , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?

Aiden is tradition Gaelic and it means “fire”. Caiden is also Gaelic meaning “battle” Braiden is Gaelic meaning “salmon” Jayden is Hebrew for “God will judge” Hayden is old English meaning “hedged valley”

BJHanssen ,
@BJHanssen@lemmy.world avatar

So I’m guessing it’s a combination of dun/den/tun etc being a common suffix in a lot of hustorical languages, and ‘ei’ being an extremely common diphthong worldwide just… leading to a lot of similar-sounding names that also converge in spelling in modern English?

JackGreenEarth ,

I’d like to see your source for those. I don’t know Gaelic so I can’t fact check those ones, but I do know a bit of Hebrew, and names that mean ‘God X’ usually end in el, not en. Also, Hebrew doesn’t have an English J sound, it has the IPA J sound though, or English Y sound. The Hebrew word for judge is ‘shofet’.

Some historical drama/fiction I really liked:

There’s a Pillars of the Earth series?! I read the book last year and loved it.
