This is interesting cause I wonder if relatively it’d be like shifting every element in the periodic table one to the left, cause who’s to say neutral isn’t our current measurement -1, but the orbitals will remain the same hence the shift

Sethayy ,

As an avid modder I can tell you that’ll make it harder but not impossible, I was halfway to hotwiring an xbox controller so I could run my xbox over parsec

Sethayy ,

Harmonic frequencies bro its all in the vibes

Sethayy ,

A sustained frequency can do it, but I’m not sure if a gunshot could be harmonic or if they just have 1 main pressure wave (and mostly just noise elsewhere)

Sethayy ,

Unless you had a muzzle that specifically created resonanting waves at the glasses harmonic frequency, and a bunch of glass with the same resonance would all shatter even with a sound wave as small as a voice (much less a gunshot)

Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?

I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated...

Sethayy ,

A similar thought I’ve had is AI removal of laugh tracks (maybe introduce background based on non-laugh track scenes)

This would make old Scooby doos actually watchable for me, so I can judge modifying the original a little if it’d what someone prefers - you can always just not watch it

Thinking about it a bit more I 100% would be the type to use a 16:9 ratio, just cause I hate black bars

Sethayy ,

Sunshine and moonlights not bad, but it leaves some things to be missed about parsec, though comes with more tweakabke configs

(mainly miss keyboard on the android app, easy login, untrusted device connecting, and stylus streaming)

Sethayy ,

Yk I’ve always wodnered what starting a charity to donate computers to countries with the worst steam pricing would do for piracy

Sethayy ,

What if we use proton as a translation layer? QEMU or any other emulator seems really overkill for gaming

Sethayy ,

And an important note about imaginary numbers is there more of a band aid solution because we chose to lose information when doing positive exponentials, when in reality both positive and negative answers are equally valid mathematically (though sometimes not physically).

So math doesn’t care about our conventions and sometimes we need that information back, hence complex numbers.

Multiplying anything times 0 = 0 though doesn’t just have 2 possible outcomes, it has infinite for the variable multiplied. With such aggressive information loss its usually hard to retain any realistic information, though it is possible with proper limits

why cant Steam Deck detect display resolution?

Every PC I’ve ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it’s docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays....

Sethayy , (edited )

Its linux. Then either get in the config yourself and change the value or quit bitching.

Can’t always expect everyone to hand solve all of your problems for you, no matter how hard you complain

Edit to explain myself a bit, what I have an issue with is that this is a problem with a solution (not in the config), BUT that solution just isn’t easy enough for OP.

They want steam to test and maintain ANOTHER database of all their games for which ones most likely won’t lag in higher resolutions than the one they designed the entire system around.

This ain’t no linux elitism, its just that steam is focusing its efforts on making much more important things usable than simplifying this one specific workflow, which I 100% believe is justified (look how far proton has come solely thanks to steam)

Sethayy ,

Just saying the problem is very fixable and steamos is insanely user friendly, but they can’t be expected to solve every problem ever, again no matter how hard you whine

Sethayy ,

And then again you’d know better than anyone that hardware has its limitations for a reason, so maintaining ANOTHER database like proton just for lightweight games that can run 4k sounds pretty excessive when they’re mostly focused on common issues like booting games. Can’t solve all github issues no matter how hard one wants to try, things take time

Sethayy ,

For sure but even windows has the registry and macos its terminal, its not uncommon for non-common usage cases to not have a nice pretty setting on the home screen.

I’d say it’d make a lot more people hate the deck if every time they tried to use it on a tv it lagged to ass cause it defaults to the 4k of the television when it struggles at 720 normally.

100% support where steams efforts are going, and I don’t think it should be on menial issues like this

LGBT safe spaces are amazing, but aren’t representative of 100% of online content

EDIT: I didn’t read the article don’t come at me I’m stupid n lazy, if its just another hidden homophobic law then fuck that, but IG you can’t expect anything of lawmakers

Sethayy ,

In my defense I’m not even american

Sethayy ,

Yeah but data rate caps are money grab bullshit and everyone knows it.

If they really wanted to measure it per what it costs them it’d be unlimited with speed caps, just that doesn’t make nearly as much money

And like any right drag increase(by extension fuel) would be easily lost to favorable or unfavorable winds, the noise is so small considering it is a joke - the extra $0.01 per flight ain’t gonna cost them the $50 per passenger they’re charging (made up numbers but I’m not gonna whip out drag calculations just yet lmao)

Would smoking raw human brains make you high?

Wait no thermal degredation

Would nebulizing raw human brains make you high? Especially of I got a little brain-diffuser in the corner that just filled the room with the aroma

Sethayy ,

Idk feels a bit like propaganda to me, crypto is the closest to a socialist currency you can get; instead of one or 2 super banks controlling all the money its divided throughout the people.

but then again this study has no (and obviously couldn’t easily) bias control for such a factor

Anything under capitalism is a pyramid scheme, its just most noticeable when its more sharp of a pyramid

My gf actually showed me it and was raving on how we have to get it that I almost didn’t have the heart to tell her not a word on the package beyond ‘Lego’ was real

Is it illegal to con people into thinking you have a perfect ability to pick football games by emailing out two lists: one picking one team, and the other picking the other team, and only sending... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

…the next pick to the people who saw you pick the “winner”. Now half of those people see one team, the other half see you pick the other team, and whoever saw you pick the winner thinks you’ve got a 100% accuracy rate over two games. You could do that for a while and then offer to sell your pick for the Superbowl....

Sethayy ,

What you really gotta argue is what youre providing is the ‘service’, they come to you for the experience of being touched by a higher power, the blessed vision of wisdom - and they simply donated to support such greatness

Sethayy ,

What makes you so confident your first paragraph leads to the second?

I suppose a better way to highlight it is the where’s the difference between this and a natural human?

Assuming a brain is a complex computer, and our senses more complex training data/promts, we fit the qualifications so must also be incapable of original thought

Sethayy ,

I actually did this and reccomend for a power user (for me it was proxmox didn’t quick enough implement virtio-fs), but in case you want a full proxmox like setup I got some recommendations:

  • Use LXD-ui. Its a bit annoying with the certificates but gives a nice n easy to use ui (I was only able to figure out how to get this working with the snap, but I didn’t try too hard)
  • Setup Virt manager through gtk Broadway. This one requires your own security implementations so definitely don’t just open it to the whole internet, but it allows you to manage VM’s in a browser intuitively.
  • Setup ssh, vnc, sunshine, tailscale, a device local to the host you can connect to any number of remote desktop solutions you can cause it all likelyhood setting things up you will break a thing or 2 and it sucks having no access to your device
  • Use syncthing or resilio sync to share files between a client and the host PC, saves a lot of time trying fancier stuff like rsync (can probably be used to setup multiple servers storage backup, in case of power outage or whatever but I personally only have 1 host)
Sethayy ,

I think it only works with pure gtk applications, so others just wont have the CLI option to launch

Just to clarify I’m talking about using it for only the virt-manager window, not the whole desktop

Sethayy ,

But you do get the simplicity, and following the real ‘free’ part of Foss you get the choice to do the fancy nerd magic if you want.

But for most of us flatpaks are readily updated and easily installed, idfc about no gtk magicians spells.

I think its a major step towards general linux acceptance

Sethayy ,

As a mid-power user I almost exclusively use them just because I want my software up to date. for example using discover I can update all my godot installs on all my devices to the latest features I’m seeing everyone rave about. (this is mainly for the maintainers but it trickles down)

Looking back into when I first was dipping my toes in linux though things like missing libraries and other scary looking apt errors essentially meant I didn’t go further from there and accepted not installing the package. I could see this frustrating lots of users early and causing them to return to windows as I did for a bit.

edit to add on: I still consider it very important to have the option to install it through a deb let’s say, but more alike how one can compile from source with a thousand flags if they choose - just as long as its a choice

Sethayy ,

Exactly this is why I haven’t made the switch yet.

Its like letting a package be managed per package instead of per distro, giving its devs some more fine grain control on stability vs update speed

Server Hardware?

Hey, I want to dip my feet into self-hosting, but i find the hardware side of things very daunting. I want to self host a Minecraft server (shocking, i know), and i’ve actually done this before both on my own PC and through server hosts. I’d like to run a Plex server as well (Jellyfin is champ now it sounds like? So maybe...

Idk if any multithread it yet but its my current go to for low end systems

[seeking solution] self hosted search engine

My latest Google search replacement recently made a decision that basically forces me to turn off ad block in order to click results.

Sethayy ,

I’m not an expert but one could funnel all web traffic through a VPN if they needed right? Gaining possibly even more obscurity and shifting the trust to a company vs a small user

(relative whether that’s an upgrade or not in privacy)

Sethayy ,

This, all weapons today plant a massive target on their user. Unless you use a disease and just spread it naturally, there ain’t currently a great way to do lots of stealthy damage.

Take an AI or 2 and make the deadliest disease you can without any usual crispr red flags and you could easily hide among the masses

Sethayy ,

If there ever was a best time to donate to them its now

Sethayy ,

Theoretically if youre on the all they could just add whatever would originally be covered by the toast

Sethayy ,

by not having a service as good as the competition, thanks to having no devs working on it…

Sethayy ,

Options are never gonna be a bad thing of course.

Idk of flatpaks can really be compared to iOS apps just simply due to how much you can choose to expose

Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

Sethayy ,

Nix is definitely gaining popularity quick too

Invasive anticheat aka rootkit

Sethayy ,

I mean its like saying we can cure HIV through genocide

SURE it’ll work, but it doesn’t mean the nuclear solution is the best possible solution that exists and ever will exist yk

Sethayy ,

Easy, custom consoles/OS. Already has existed for a couple decades actually, and doesn’t include a bunch of private information

Sethayy ,

Nah you said name a solution and I did name one. Sure not flawless but pretty obvious that There’s more options than just a rootkit, the only point I was trying to disprove.

Any other arguments I don’t have any bearing on ngl I’m not too emotionally attached to my counterpoint

Sethayy ,

Same statistical argument could be said for homelessness so I guess let’s stop trying to solve that too

Sethayy ,

I think what youre looking for is do they work together

Sethayy ,

I can imagine eventually but I don’t think that’ll be their prioritized focus for a bit, cause it doesn’t seem like it’d have a massive useage case
