If I even smelled that much alcohol on the same day, it would probably kill me.

just_another_person ,

What an absolute moron. It’s like VMs never existed in this guy’s mind.

If you legitimately hate Windows that much, and you’re running a YouTube channel called ‘Tek Syndicate’…figure it out, fool.

just_another_person ,

I watched it. This guy is either technically challenged, or a complete moron.

just_another_person ,

Or…just don’t use AI.

These dumb shits act like it’s enriching people’s lives. Instead, it’s just making a very specific group of rich people more wealthy.

It’s a fleecing of suckers who think it’s some useful tool to eliminate human workers that cost money.

Look at the drivers and make sure a secondary display is available.

What’s your graphics driver?

just_another_person ,

You’re not really describing your use-case here. Are you just trying to run a server that does all your rendering for you so you can play games elsewhere? Yes, that’s totally possible.

If you’re trying to describe a business…no, it’s not possible, scalable, or profitable.

I’m curious as to what your intentions are here though.

just_another_person ,

What you’re describing is mostly a networking issue. I’m also pretty suspect about your setup and wishes. You definitely don’t work for a large VFX studio, and you’re not using this as described for CAD work. I’m going to guess this entire setup is for your anime and incest rendering farm.

This is a ridiculous question for anyone with this amount of hardware in their home already that’s using it on a daily basis to actually work. You would also not be “running renders” if this was hardware provided by a company you work for.

Whatever is being asked here is for a shady ass person. Don’t help them.

just_another_person ,

Are you? You came to Lemmy to lie about a technical issue and ask for help.

hamachi alternative

Hi thank you for helping me with my last issue (Sunlight remote desktop). Now I have encountered another issue VPN. I’d like to use Hamachi to play remotely with a friend (he’ll be using Moonlight to connect to my Linux PC) the problem is that he’s using a M1 Mac and Hamachi is not working on those. Maybe you guys have a...

just_another_person , (edited )

Any open VPN protocol that MacOS supports will work. I’d actually say, you’re better off not using something like Hamachi. Keep in mind, allowing your friend direct VPN access to your network without any extra rules will allow them full access to everything on your network, so make sure you only allow traffic to things you want them to access.

Check if your router already has a VPN Server you can enable and let your friend connect to and set it up (easiest option). If not, just run the VPN server on your machine, and forward the port from your router to your machine.

The amount of absolutely wrong answers in here is astounding.

NO. PCIE is not plug and play. Moreover, having a dead PCIE device that was previously accepting information, and then suddenly stops, is almost guaranteed to cause a kernel panic on any OS because of an overflowing bus of tons of data that can’t just sit there waiting. It’s a house of cards at that point. It’s also going to possibly harm the physical machine when the power comes back on due to a sudden influx of power from an outside PSU powering up a device not meant for such things.

Why wouldn’t instead think of maybe NOT running an insane workload on such a machine with insanely power hungry GPUs, and maybe go for an AMD APU instead? Then you’ll get all the things you want.

just_another_person ,

You are mistaking “plug and play” with “hot swap/plug CAPABLE”. The spec allows for specifically designed hardware to come and go, like Express card, Thunderbolt, or USB4 lane-assigned devices, for example. That’s a feature built for a specific type of hardware to tolerate things like accepting current, or having a carrier chip at least communicating with the PCIE bridge that designates it’s current status. Almost all of these types of devices are not only designed for this, they are powered by the hardware they are plugged into, allowing that power to be negotiated and controlled by the bridge.

NOT like a giant GPU that requires it’s own power supply current and ground.

But hey, you read it on the Internet and seem to think it’s possible. Go ahead and try it out with your hardware and see what happens.

just_another_person ,

Wow. Okay. Pull that card, buddy. Pedantic on the Internet. What a shocker. 🙄

just_another_person ,

Again…it is not. You can’t just go and unplug swap anything anywhere into a PCIE slot. The protocol supports it, but it is not by any definition any sort of live swappable by default.

My speedometer says 200, but my car does not go that fast.

An egg isn’t an omelet.

The statement “humans can fly” is technically true, but not without a plane.

A device that supports hot swap into a compatible and specifically configured slot could be though.

I can keep going forever with this.

just_another_person ,

You have multiple accounts, and are sadly so consumed with Internet points, you used both of them to downvote when you’re won’t. You’re pathetic. Get a hobby. Maybe learning about hardware!

just_another_person ,

And it still is not.

just_another_person ,

Gee, I wonder what kind of contracts they are looking to lock down…

just_another_person ,

Not sure why, if true. I doubt Russia is making up a large chunk of their economic funding.

I believe this describes them altering the ad host at load time for the page. DNS blocking of ad serving hosts only work if the hostname stays predictable, so just having dynamically named hosts that change in the loading of the page would make blocking more difficult.

Example: 1234.youtube-ads.com is blocked by AdBlockerX. 5678.youtube-ads-xyz.com is not on the blocklist, so is let through. All they have to do is cycle host or domain names to beat DNS blocking for the most part.

Previously, injecting hostnames live for EACH page load had two big issues:

  1. DNS propagation is SLOW. Creating a new host or domain and having it live globally on multiple root servers can take hours, sometimes days.
  2. Live form injection of something like this takes compute, and is normally set as part of a static template.

They’re just banking on making more money from increased ad revenue to offset the technical challenges of doing this, and offsetting the extra cost of compute. They’re also betting that the free adblocking tools will not spend the extra effort to constantly update and ship blocklist changes with updated hosts. I guarantee some simple logic will be able to beat this with client-side blocklist updating though (ie: tool to read the page code and block ad hosts). It’ll be tricky, probably have some false positives here and there, but effective.

I think OP is talking about Mint’s Desktop Environment only.

If Mint works out of the box, pretty much any modern distro will. It’s about the kernel, not about an individual distro anymore. There’s nothing much special about individual distros except UI, and package management, of which Mint shares the latter with any Debian-based distro.

just_another_person ,

As long as it’s not a mounted and running live system, it should work. Not the most efficient way to do such a thing, but I would think it should work.

just_another_person ,

So…which government got his claws in him this time? Taking all bets.

just_another_person ,

Sooooo…yeah. I dated someone once who was brilliant in some ways, and not in others, but I very much loved them still, though our intellectual conversations were kept to a minimum.

After watching a particularly violent Western movie where a lot of horses were injured, shot, or killed, she seemed kind of disturbed. She was dead quiet after leaving the theater, and just seemed like she was thinking through it all and processing the story.

Halfway through the drive home, out of nowhere she asks “Where do all the horses go?”

The question kind of threw me, and waited a second to process what she had just asked me. I thought I misheard her, and there was a noticably uncomfortable gap in me reply.

“What? How do you mean?”

“Where do all the horses go after the movie? Like, what do they do with all the dead horses?”

In that moment, I froze, and I started to kind of chuckle as I thought she was making a joke. Then I realized she was serious. A 30-year old was asking me this question. A self-admitted movie buff, she called herself.

It was then that I knew this relationship wasn’t viable long-term.

just_another_person ,

This was not an older movie, and if she’d ever watched the credits of a modern movie (as a movie buff), she would have certainly seen all the stunt coordination credits, and the tag about no animals being harmed.

just_another_person ,

Think about the first part of that question though.

just_another_person ,

You are asking for a world of pain here.

Help for getting started with hardware

I dived into the selfhosting rabbit hole once again and again I am stuck at the hardware part. I’d like to start small-ish to make it realisable. I thought about a NAS (Openmediavault probably). First I wanted to do it on a Raspberry Pi with an external hard-drive but then I read USB connected drives are unreliable and so on....

just_another_person , (edited )

I think you’re confusing a few ideas here, and it’s hard to understand what your main goal is. Let me see if I can break down what you want here:

  • Small form factor if possible
  • Storage expansion
  • Low power (antithesis to 3.5" HDDs)
  • NAS features? (unclear here)

If you’re just trying to run containers easily, Synology NAS that support it (certain tier) are really easy to use, and you won’t have to worry about hardware except inserting the initial drives to use.

If you’re worried about cost, sure, building your own is going to be the best bet. If you’re not expecting to really tax the I/O of the drives, USB 3+ won’t be the worst thing in the world, but the management of a storage array over USB will be problematic if doing it yourself.

Lastly, it may help us if you describe what you’re actually trying to to host on this hardware. It’s the difference between someone suggesting a very low power CPU like an N100, or a lowER power CPU like and AMD that has a bit more upfront cost.

If any of this is confusing, just have a look at Synology or Qnap maybe. It’ll be easier to manage in the long run if you’re not comfortable or enjoy fiddling with hardware.

Wat

just_another_person ,

This is either written by AI, or a high schooler. What an insane progression through these paragraphs, and constant beveling of expectations. WTF is this even?

just_another_person ,

They really lost the plot at this point.

just_another_person ,

Don’t understand the snarky title. This is a good thing. Waiting for AMD to kick out that mobile ARM chip anytime now. We’re waiting.

just_another_person ,

ARM is not capable of surpassing the existing world of x86 in raw power. It’s not about that. People do want an 8 hour battery life out of their laptops though.

just_another_person ,

VNC is a bit dated, doesn’t support auth as part of the protocol, and doesn’t functionally support a lot things like dynamic screen resizing, and things like stream transport of audio.

Not saying RDP is necessarily better, but it is functionally faster at least, and implementations here are open source, not the closed MS version.

just_another_person , (edited )

It’s really just a codec issue at that point though. They COULD revamp, but why when you can just improve and make a new protocol.

just_another_person ,

Very clever

just_another_person ,

This is either a joke, or vaporware. Ironically, all of this is already possible without buying an untrusted hardware platform with unknown software.

just_another_person ,

Pick one. It’s debian-based. You literally can’t pick “the wrong one”. You just have uninstall what you don’t like, and install what you want. That simple.

just_another_person ,

Letterkenney?

I woke up this morning thinking “I wonder what the 3D printing gun community thinks about stuff.”, and I’m going to bed not giving a shit. Fuck these psychos.

just_another_person ,

Great news for the deaf populace.

just_another_person ,

I wasn’t being sarcastic…

just_another_person ,

It’s a Phishing scam using a tool. It’s no more exploiting SyncThing than TCP/IP.

just_another_person ,

This is the most likely issue. Log output is a must, btw.

The PSX design was still similar for the Nintendo Prototypes as well. Was just the design style at the time for cheaper optical drive housing. GameCube all also had a flip-top lid for the basic commercial release.

New Hope in Alzheimer’s Fight: Researchers Identify Unique Early Biomarker (scitechdaily.com)

Clinical relevance of miRNAs as biomarkers is growing due to their stability and detection in biofluids. This study has identified miR-519a-3p as a potential early biomarker for Alzheimer’s, linked to prion protein expression. This molecule is directly associated with the expression of the cellular prion protein located on the...

Research grants. Money. Career. That’s pretty much it. The guy who did it is unremorseful as well, which really pisses me off.

Get a non-creepy wallpaper you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show co-workers when screen sharing.

just_another_person ,

Hard disagree. I wouldn’t consider an image depicting a fetish of some sort “family friendly”.

Same rules for being in public: you shouldn’t think it’s okay to subject non-willing participants into your sexual proclivities. A jizzed up sexualization, anime or not, is not cool to subject others to without their permission.

just_another_person ,

What do you imagine all those thick globs of white represent?

just_another_person ,

Do some research. It’s a huge news story.
