I’m interested in this. Did you read anything? I know nothing but it sounds like a cool project for me and my kid.

giant_smeeg ,

How often does syncthing work? Does it keep any version history in Obsidian?

giant_smeeg ,

Interesting. I’ll definitely look at this.

I’ll probably sync both to and from my server. I’m currently paying for sync and it’s very good but I’m sick of subscription creep and it’s hard to justify the price per month for a few hundred megabytes ATM when backblaze is a fraction of the price for hundreds of gigabytes.

giant_smeeg ,

Fuck yeah! I’m still waiting for Broken Veil (The original devs)

giant_smeeg ,

Yes, I still prefer 1 but it’s great. Has ray tracing too.

giant_smeeg ,

I was the other way! I never heard of the first game. Then I see the trailer for number 2 and then played both.

Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I’ve purchased a license to watch the...

giant_smeeg ,

Its wrong they bought it in the first place…

giant_smeeg ,

To be fair though the video isnt really aimed at scientist’s

giant_smeeg ,

The only argument you can really have is about die space. If fixed function hardware is on die for ray tracing.

The chip could be cheaper or have a larger rasterization GPU block, AV1 encode block etc etc

giant_smeeg ,

Of course. But it’s still an absolute physical trade off. There is only so much die space and power budget or cost. They will have traded something off.

giant_smeeg ,

Yeah same here

UK. I’ll get the odd joke from an iPhone user but we all use WhatsApp and no one really cares.

giant_smeeg ,

I couldn’t be arsed with this kind of thing and just renewed for 10 years.

giant_smeeg ,

Prices will only go up.

[Rant] Cloud service is not a reason to have phones with only 128 GB

I am in the process of looking between repairing my phone or switching to a new one. And the no brainer evolution to the OnePlus 7 Pro I have is a Pixel phone. Pixel Phones are definitely not perfect, I know that the battery would fall faster than other phones but hey, that’s ok, google chip in it, possibility to go...

giant_smeeg ,

I don’t get the arguments either way.

Buy the 512GB phone if you need it?

I Google all sorts of shit. I can make a best guess decision or I can Google it and find a better answer…

I’ve got a 2015 model in the bedroom and the newer 2019 model on the main TV.

It’s still plenty fast for general TV app watching. In a new model I want AV1 and VP9.2 support (Future proof and to give youtube HDR).

HDMI 2.1 to gamestream 4k120hz gameplay. Other than that it still supports absolutely everything. Other enhancements that would be nice:

  • New remote without a Netflix button.
  • USB C ports
  • Better bluetooth radio, really struggles with my xbox controller.
  • Other HDMI 2.1 features like faster framerate/HDR switching.
  • 2.5gig ports (not necessary at all but why not)
giant_smeeg ,

Yeah they’ve been great devices for me supporting everything they can with updates. No youtube HDR is probably my biggest bummer with it. Having to have the TV connected to the internet just for that is annoying.

giant_smeeg ,

I know :( But there are alternatives.

giant_smeeg ,

There is no reason we NEED a new switch though. Never tegra chips already exist.

giant_smeeg ,

Yeah I’ve tried it but I kept having other UI and remote issues so had to stop. I’ve debated whether just breaking the trace on the remote. I hate hate clicking it.

giant_smeeg ,

You got the name of the new one? I’ll give it another shot.

giant_smeeg ,

I’ve had a pretty tough time with our kid and our test has always been.

If that happened today, would I wish she wasn’t here. So far the answer is always an unresounding no.

giant_smeeg ,

Had 2 weeks off work! Back tomorrow. Will watch the world cup final then do some chores and then weep.

giant_smeeg ,

Why duplicacy? I currently use Rsync and Rclone to and from various cloud providers.

giant_smeeg ,

They will when forced too. Like europe and the tax on their petrol/diesel.

I’ve love a big stinking 5L v8 but fuel is so expensive.

giant_smeeg ,

Im running Windows 11 on my new laptop. Every major update it’s like:

  • PLZ LET EDGE BE UR BROWSER
  • BRO PLZ, OFFICE SUBSCRIPTION
  • LOCATION?
  • Let me just install tiktok and FB apps.

My laptop officially supports Ubuntu, think I might make the switch full time. I don’t game on my laptop and most of it’s use is browser, plex and emails…

giant_smeeg ,

I’m 30s. Don’t know anyone who’s done it.

giant_smeeg ,

VPN because I don’t know enough about all the random arrr services to expose them trustworthily.

giant_smeeg ,

I run unraid that does a monthly parity check will that protect?

giant_smeeg ,

!edc

That’s the one I’ve been using, not the most active but seems decent.

Back to the OP. I carry a Rovyvon A8x flashlight and yubikey on my keychain.

giant_smeeg ,

Rerevanced will be popular

giant_smeeg ,

I’ve been able to do this for about 3-4 weeks now.

giant_smeeg ,

It seems to me anecdotally.

It’s compressed still but is original resolution rather than half Res AND compressed.

X-eets and x-itter.

Use the Chinese pronunciation

giant_smeeg ,

Nothing. Really want to play the outer worlds but with starfield just around the corner I don’t want to burn out.

giant_smeeg ,

Yeah insane. Land of the freee

Russian bone fields this time rather than German

Love ISPreview.

Also I bet the Americans would love if their advertising agency did this. I swear every other week they have 5GEE, 5G+.

giant_smeeg ,

Agree’d, people aren’t contributing enough so it seems dead after a 30min check per day (might not be a bad thing).

If lemmy is to thrive and survive, post, comment and start discussions. That’s what is addictive and provides value.

giant_smeeg ,

Massively. If you can contribute, ask and learn on a discussion then you get WAY more out of it.

Lemmy is perfect for that atm, reddit you’d get immediately drowned out or some dickhead just dismissing your point and that’s it, done.

giant_smeeg ,

There are algorithms working in the background on Reddit to keep you there. Same with pretty much all “social media”. They aren’t on Lemmy. The point of Reddit is to keep you there, and shove as many ads down your throat as possible. Ads don’t exist here, and no one (as far as i can tell) is making money from you being here.

I agree with what you’re saying about the algorithms sucking you in, but disagree that’s the biggest reason. Lemmy just doesn’t have a lot of content, browse HOT or go through your subscriptions and you’re done pretty quick.

giant_smeeg ,

Na, you’re being silly now.

giant_smeeg ,

I work at a bigger company and i’m so fucking happy they’ve embraced it recently and reduced office space by around 60%. There literally isn’t enough desks/space for everyone to work on site down and actively expect people to work from home.

They’ve seen the reduction in real estate and energy bills (this is a big one)

I would say 80% of the games I pirate, I put less than 30 mins into it.

giant_smeeg ,

Yeah that’s good then.

I get about 60m runtime on my setup and it only cycles 10-20% max.

Already had to change the battery early and wondered if that was why.

How is Nova on a pixel?

Really trying to stop using Google services and the Google search bar at the bottom is too convenient, shame you can’t rid
